It’s really nice to be back under the purple arch. Warpcast as a brand never did it for me. IMO it’s not a coincidence that I was an active user of Farcaster back when it was Farcaster, and then fell off as soon as it turned into Warpcast

New essay: https://open.substack.com/pub/loeber/p/26-bitcoin-without-a-fight Bitcoin has won. And the big fight with the regulators, that so many anticipated, never happened. Some things turned out very differently from what early Bitcoiners expected. Reflections on the last 13 years and the Strategic Reserve:

A very strange thing is happening. Everyone's talking about the latest AI products. It's exciting! But nobody's looking a few years into the future and asking what this all means. If you believe that AGI by 2030 might be possible, then we're not thinking nearly enough about it. https://loeber.substack.com/p/25-nobodys-thinking-enough-about

Advanced garbage disposal: If you have large boxes that the trash won’t pick up soon enough, you can tape them back up and put them just by your doorstep, and wait for a package thief to take them

Some people think AI is in a bubble. I don't think so. I think that the level of capital investment in AI can scale up another 100x. In fact, I'll argue: bubbles don't even really exist. https://loeber.substack.com/p/22-a-bubble-is-rarely-a-bubble

If you care about LLMs, you should care about their ability to do arithmetic. Arithmetic is a useful microcosm of reasoning problems on the road to AGI. In this essay, I try to survey all relevant papers, and summarize everything we know! https://loeber.substack.com/p/21-everything-we-know-about-llms

Apparently there’s a Twitter account called “dudes for harris” that raised $4M for the Harris campaign yesterday and then got banned Bad showing from Mr. Free Speech Absolutist…

New post! Many software businesses are fundamentally about transforming and organizing data. And LLMs are really good at that, with little overhead. I think we will see a lot of big companies get disrupted in ways that may not seem obvious today. https://loeber.substack.com/p/18-the-end-of-schematic-businesses

Why do Warpcast profiles not show the total number of casts? Seems like a normal feature + easy to compute, doesn’t it?

When you pay warps to join a channel, who gets those warps? - Farcaster? - The channel admin? Or is this actually farcaster-client dependent?

New post! Working with LLMs all day, very practically wrestling with artificial intelligence, at some point has you asking: what exactly is intelligence? https://loeber.substack.com/p/17-seriously-what-is-intelligence

It would be very useful if domain owners adopted the broad practice of putting “for sale” or “not for sale” along with contact information in DNS TXT records

Every time I open farcaster, it’s more alive. there’s more engagement on every cast, there are more names I haven’t seen before, and the discussion topics are more diverse. Love to see it!
