[Energy/abundance edition] Nature 2.0: The Cradle of Civilization Gets an Upgrade
2 likes•4,890 views
The document discusses the concept of Nature 2.0, an upgraded framework where ecosystems, autonomous machines, and blockchain technologies coexist in a self-sustaining and abundant environment. It explores how decentralized systems like AI and DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) can redefine energy relationships and ownership, while aiming for sustainability. Ultimately, it envisions a future of integrated bio-machines that thrive without scarcity, promoting a symbiotic relationship between nature and technology.

- 1. Trent McConaghy @trentmc0 Ocean | BigchainDB Nature 2.0: The Cradle of Civilization Gets an Upgrade
- 2. On the IoT, nobody knows you’re a toaster
- 3. But what is this? Robot? Plant?
- 4. What do you call a forest that owns itself?
- 5. Can a wind farm own itself? How? Can that help redefine our relationship with energy?
- 6. How we can transition from scarcity to abundance?
- 7. Nature 1.0
- 9. Nutrients
- 10. Rain
- 11. Sun
- 13. No ownership No identity No money No scarcity
- 14. No ownership No identity No money No scarcity It just is. Self-sustaining Anti-fragile
- 15. Ever-higher levels of integration. From beasts ecosystems Each ecosystem just is. Self-sustaining Anti-fragile
- 16. Mother Earth = our planet’s ecosystem. Nature is the cradle of civilization.
- 17. Yet often we fall short. Does tech have anything to say?
- 18. Blockchain (and ways to frame it)
- 19. “A Chain of Blocks” -Block = list of transactions, where tx = “create asset” or “transfer asset” action, digitally signed -Chain = linked list, where links are hashes Header Tx1 Tx2 Tx3 .. Header Tx1 Tx2 Tx3 .. Header Tx1 Tx2 Tx3 ..
- 20. “Database with blue ocean benefits” • Decentralized • Immutable • Assets
- 21. “Trust machine” because it minimizes trust needed to operate. It’s more socially scalable. (Ref Szabos)
- 22. STORE OF VALUE Bitcoin, zcash FILE SYSTEM IPFS/FileCoin, Swarm DATABASE BigchainDB, OrbitDB BIZ LOGIC Ethereum, Dfinity HIGH PERF. COMPUTE TrueBit, Golem, iExec STATE PolkaDot DATA TCP/IP VALUE Interledger, Cosmos COMMUNICATIONSPROCESSINGSTORAGE “Emerging Decentralized Stack”
- 23. Bitcoin incentivizes security = hash rate = electricity Result: > USA by mid 2019! Get people to do stuff By rewarding with tokens “Incentive Machine”
- 24. “Public Utility Network” Self-sustaining, anti-fragile
- 25. A computational process that • runs autonomously, • on decentralized infrastructure, • with resource manipulation. “DAO: Decentralized Autonomous Organization” It’s code that can own stuff! Aka “good computer virus”
- 26. “Life Form” -Ralph Merkle “Bitcoin is the first example of a new form of life.” “It lives and breathes on the internet. It lives because it can pay people to keep it alive. It lives because it performs a useful service that people will pay it to perform. … It can’t be stopped. It can’t even be interrupted. If nuclear war destroyed half of our planet, it would continue to live, uncorrupted.”
- 27. AI (and ways to frame it)
- 28. “Replicates human cognitive behavior” [Turing test]
- 29. “Can do tasks that only a human could previously do”
- 30. “Can do a task at speed / accuracy / capacity not possible by a human.”
- 31. “A set of tools” • Classification • Regression • Knowledge extraction • Optimization • Creative / Structural design • …
- 33. AI * Blockchain: AI DAOs
- 34. “An AI running on decentralized processing substrate” <or> “A DAO running with AI algorithms” Definition of AI DAO
- 35. The ArtDAO 1. Run AI art engine to generate new image, using GP or deep learning 2. Sell image on a marketplace, for crypto. 3. Repeat!
- 36. 1. Run AI art engine to generate new image, using GP or deep learning 2. Sell image on a marketplace, for crypto. 3. Repeat! <Over time, it accumulates wealth, for itself.> The ArtDAO
- 37. 1. Run AI art engine to generate new image, using GP or deep learning 2. Sell image on a marketplace, for crypto. 3. Repeat! <Over time, it accumulates wealth, for itself.> <It could even self-adapt: genetic programming> The ArtDAO
- 38. AI DAO Arch 1: AI at the Center
- 39. AI DAO Arch 2: AI at the Edges
- 40. AI DAO Arch 3: Swarm Intelligence Many dumb agents with emergent AI complexity
- 41. Angles to Making AI DAOs • DAO AI DAO. Start with DAO, add AI. • AI AI DAO. Start with AI, add DAO. • SaaS DAO AI DAO. SaaS to DAO, add AI • Physical service AI DAO
- 42. Giving Personhood to an AI DAO With Today’s Laws (!)
- 43. AI IoT AI DAOs Nature Blockchain How to unify? Sustainability
- 44. Nature 2.0 =AI DAOs 🚀🚀
- 49. Self-owning grid
- 50. Nature Machines: Self-owning forest “Terra0”
- 52. Ever-higher levels of integration From beasts ecosystems Connected via IoT / M2M
- 53. No ownership No identity No money No scarcity It just is. Self-sustaining Anti-fragile
- 54. No ownership No identity No money No scarcity It just is. Self-sustaining Anti-fragile
- 55. This is Nature 2.0. An upgrade to the cradle of civilization. Bio + machines in symbiosis, simply providing. Towards abundance.
- 56. Conclusion
- 57. In Nature 2.0, no one knows you’re a forest
- 58. In Nature 2.0, no one knows you’re a grid
- 59. You just are. While you simply provide.
- 60. Nature is the cradle of civilization. Nature 1.0 is seeds & soil. Nature 2.0 adds silicon & steel. AI, blockchain, IoT towards abundance. @trentmc0Trent McConaghy h/t Jan-Peter Doomernik
