I have now, and to be honest it made me even less convinced. The whole video is predicated on the idea that AI will be a super-intelligent bitcoin maximalist. I have a strong affinity for the maximalist argument, but I don't buy the idea that AI is intelligent in any meaningful way. ( And to be honest, I don't think bitcoin maximalism is a hallmark of superior intelligence. Some people were gently exposed to the idea by patient mentors, some weren't. Or worse, were exposed to a toxic maximalist).
The narrator of the video asks which currency an autonomous delivery drone will prefer as payment for delivery. The answer is that the drone may reach it's destination autonomously but it is still a machine, sent by its owner to deliver a product. The drone will have no preference with regards to currency, all of which will accrue to the owner. We'd do well to focus our efforts on convincing the owner that bitcoin is a superior form of currency.
