“That’s one of the most objective ways any alien species visiting us would measure how much progress we’ve made as a civilization.

Type I is how well a civilization harnesses the power available on its planet. Type II is how much of its star’s power it harnesses, and Type III is how much of the galaxy’s power it harnesses.

Right now, we’re very low on the Kardashev Type I scale. We’re harnessing almost none of our star’s power. We don’t even know how to do Type III, really. AI will figure it out.”

"The U.K. is one of our oldest allies and partners. We've stood side by side to bring down global threats in multiple wars, and today we commit to stand together in the war on transnational organized crime, " — said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.

“Stablecoins are becoming core payment infrastructure, but the market still lacks neutral clearing rails that allow issuers, banks and payment firms to exchange digital money safely and efficiently,” — said Michael Chapman, Founder and CEO of Nuvanté.

“Through our work in the Bank of England Synchronisation Lab, we demonstrated how regulated stablecoin clearing, interoperability and synchronised settlement could operate in a central-bank settlement environment.”

“As stablecoins continue to scale the market needs safe, trusted and interoperable settlement infrastructure. The Stellar network was built for regulated finance and Nuvanté’s work in the Bank of England Synchronisation Lab is the kind of real-world financial use case the network was designed to support."

"And I believe that international coordination on future AI development needs to become a top priority for governments around the world.

Machine intelligence playing a larger and larger role in its own development process is a natural conclusion of sustained technological progress. If AI progress continues, machine recursive self-improvement (RSI) will be at the very core of future scientific discovery 🚀 ," — Pachocki said.
