Idea: we should make sure we keep track of what the human created content is, so that we don’t get confused by AI edits of everything in the future.
For ex, calculate the hash of all important books, and publish that as the “historical authenticity” check. Put the hashes on some important blockchain so we know it’s unchanged over time.
Is that a semantic argument - that low risk investments should be called something other than "venture capital"? What term would be best for that?
Note that VC does have a wide variety of risk profiles - with later stage usually being lower risk and earlier stage being higher.
Who serves the market of early, low-medium risk (and therefore lower returns)?
That math makes sense if “90% of investments fail”, which is a reasonable number if you only invest in companies that need to grow to $1B to succeed. But if you were willing to invest in companies that top out much smaller, theoretically you could chose companies based on likelihood of profit instead of growth, and get a much lower failure rate.
The other thing you’d need to be careful of is drain on your time. You’d need to be much less available to companies over time, or you’d get spread too thin by too big a portfolio.
