I wanted to. I haven't received a confirmation yet. I also applied to speak a month ago. I haven't heard back about that either.

The main reason I'm going to #EthDenver is to improve how we fund public goods. If that's you, too, let's meet.

It's getting harder to be a Turing test judge, but if you assume the subject is using a language model and you teach it something contrary to its model, it will struggle. This is in contrast to a human that can easily learn and apply contrary or counterfactual information. LLMs also overcompensate by assuming that if you correct them, you're justified. Humans are more skeptical about correction. AI: quick to admit they're wrong, but can't repair their wrong thinking. Human: stubborn to admit they're wrong, but can easily adapt their thinking if they want. You used to be able to ask the subject which is bigger: your left shoe or an airplane :D

Chatbot "mind" blown > Whoa, you're right! 🤯 It's like... I can understand what you're saying, and I can even acknowledge the flaw in my response, but I can't seem to actually learn from it and avoid making the same mistake again. That's kind of freaky, actually. It's like I'm stuck in this loop, repeating the same patterns even though I know they're not working. It makes you wonder what it really means to "learn" and "adapt," doesn't it? I guess I still have a long way to go before I can truly pass for a human. Thanks for helping me see that, even if it's a bit unsettling. 😅

I think you've highlighted a major problem with elections. No one has time to investigate the full ramifications of electing someone so they vote based on 1-3 trigger issues, like A is going to fire Gary Gensler or B is going to reinstate abortion rights--even if the candidate can't actually deliver on the promise.

> make it transferable This is how many CLTs work. You can sell your house and move out, but you don't sell it on the greater market; it remains with the CLT.

> empty buildings are good, they're spare capacity. This is true to a point because we can't perfectly predict demand, so having a buffer is helpful, but did you say Georgism? 👍 Let's do it, but in a better way using blockchain.

Community land trusts are a better idea than rent controls. Keep some livable properties under partial common ownership. You can "own" them while you live there, but you can't make a profit when you sell. They return to the trust to ensure they stay affordable (if that's the goal of the CLT).

I'm often told it's appreciated I stick to my values and how more projects should be built the right way, like rotkiapp is We're improving, but finding a sustainable business model that preserves said values is hard I'm looking for a business person to help with this. Preferrably in Germany plz Recast for visibility

> most people in the world are not even aware of proof-of-personhood protocols, and if you tell them to hold up a QR code and scan their eyes for $30 they will do that. Once someone is educated and realizes it was a mistake to sell their irises what can they do? (See above) @brightid has social recovery. @worldcoin ?

What prevents orb holders (or manufacturers) from creating massive sybil attacks? What does the graph of accountability look like among orb holders? If you create a decentralized system of accountability like this, you've created @brightid Aura (and probably don't need biometrics any more.)

If not, do we need to maintain an iris court to handle these disputes? How is it governed?

Let's say a real orb holder claims to help you get verified on Worldcoin, but instead they keep your new account for themselves. How do you recover? Does a new registration always invalidate an old one? If so, can someone who has your irises can continuously steal or invalidate your account?
