Some unfortunate personal news: after repeatedly failing every Captcha I have attempted in the past 3 days, I can only conclude that I am in fact not a human. This has come as quite a shock.

“My view always was that in chaos there’s opportunity. When things are really confused and not well organized and people are running around like heads with their chickens cut off, that’s when you need to kind of do something, and be a kind of firm hand on it, and do the work that needs to be done.” ~Richard Kerr to Vince Houghton, interview on Spycast, July 23, 2019 /quotes

Random thoughts on AI. Ultimately, I don’t want an agent, an assistant, an advisor. These aren’t bad, having them in addition would be fine. But an agent is just automation, an assistant is a Palm Pilot, an advisor is fancy search. Value would come in a collaborator, AI as a feed back loop between equals, or as some type of merge. Complimentary to my weaknesses, amplifier to my strengths.

Hey, /booksuggestions, I’m looking for a book for my Dad that defines all the terms in crypto from an investment point of view, then explain the nuts and bolts of trading. I learned basically with years of deep machine learning in my neural nexus, but he needs something for someone who knows tradition investing, not the tech.

Would anyone here like to work with me on a pro-AI artistic/creative manifesto? I want to come up with a statement or doc that distills how we could view AI positively in an ever-changing era. In a way, a response to anti AI folks (especially artists). DM me if you’re interested. I started a WhatsApp group. Was thinking doing some Zoom calls, working document, and then working on pushing it out there to press etc.

I’ve decided the really degen thing to have done Monday is at beginning of trading, short a lot of shares of all the AI related stocks for a penny stock with low volume and not much action. at 20% above market, then at end of day, sell it to buy the AI stocks back.

So: - Pre-covid, High-Flyer hedge fund decides investing in AI was important, starts buying GPUs and starts Fire-Flyer which becomes DeepSeek. - In 2021, they bought 10000 GPUs, then bans after that limited their competitors. - They didn’t hire Western AI people or send people to the West for education, also unlike their competitors, they hired enthusiastic young people with no knowledge and experience and basically just had them start doing things to learn as they go. - They have been focusing only on creating large models, and have avoided taking time, energy, talent, and money to build apps on it. - They open sources to get the global community to aid in the advancement. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kANyEjDDFWkhSKbcK/two-interviews-with-the-founder-of-deepseek

Hm, mine might take a second long than X if that, not even sure if that’s the case. Maybe it’s where in the world or which ISP?

We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress. What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals: * Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership * Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s * Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed * Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer * Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management ...

Almost a year ago, I published my "Ethereum Cypherpunk Manifesto". Have we made any fucking progress? Absolutely fucking not. We keep throwing away the principles that brought us here for some short-term bullshit profits. Nobody gives a fuck about the centralised infrastructure propping up so-called "decentralised" blockchains. Privacy? It's a fucking afterthought instead of the core priority it should be. Will I give up? Fuck no. But you're all a bunch of fucking cowards who don't act on clear principles. https://x.com/pcaversaccio/status/1768934679606903069

Ten rando Trump-induced thoughts on crypto: 1. The token launch and its price performance is truly staggering. It will have aftershocks that are just as powerful and impactful for the industry. Or put another way, if this coin launch blew your mind, what comes next will be crazier. 🧵👇

This one of course raises the question in my brain that won’t stop poking, if crypto is now the best monetary tech, digital fiat was before that, paper notes before that, coins before that, and direct trade before that, what’s next, better than crypto?
