Okay, finally watched the “Dungeons & Dragons” movie. Nothing has the right to be at once be so completely unserious and so painfully sincere. It’s very good, though I’d be hard-pressed to understand why.

So long purple checkmark. 😢 At least I learned a little bit more about NFTs and smart contracts! https://warpcast.com/dwr/0x9ac061

Sometimes you’re on the road and you get the chance to see something extraordinary.

Given that Light Wallet seems to be dead, is there a wallet that people recommend that works with Safari? I’ve only found two options: 1. Tokenary (supports ETH and SOL, supports macOS, maybe no longer developed either?) 2. Dawn (ETH and iOS only, recent updates, but don’t know anything about the developers…)

Interesting Twitter activity on my feed has taken a decisive dip this week. At this point, I basically just log in for the “This Terran Trade Authority ship does not exist” bot.

There is something I can’t quite put my finger on that is starting to bother me about Bluesky… I’m not sure if it’s some characteristic of the population that’s adopted it so far, a particular set of app or protocol design choices, or what. But I’m starting to get Mastodon vibes there.

This is very, very good, and I think the right way to approach the question of trust on the internet moving forward. Becoming more and more convinced that trust and identity, not finance, is the killer app for blockchains. https://subconscious.substack.com/p/llms-break-the-internet-signing-everything

Currently reading the MS GPT-4 paper. At the moment I remain… unimpressed… by the model’s “human like” behaviors. That said, I’m starting to think that there may be something profound here. Just not what the authors think it is.

Really starting to think that the right take-away from the present moment in AI is the understanding that “intelligence” is not actually anything special. Rather, it’s something that can be just imbued into a tool as needed.

Increasingly convinced that the answer to most cultural debates these days is "it's just not *that* deep." Like, most of the time the appearance of things is just all there is?

Doubt as the suspicion / understanding / acceptance that the map is not the territory.

This @vgr piece makes me wonder if one reason LLMs have failed to cause a strong emotional reaction in me is that for the last 10+ years I've been thinking about "personhood" from the "inside" p.o.v. & have concluded that there is no meaningful "I" to be seen. https://studio.ribbonfarm.com/p/text-is-all-you-need

Discussion about DNRs. Wish I could say I believed the doctor that "this is just the conversation we always have." . . . (I mean, it is. But every time the doctor comes back, the news is worse. At some point you start to wonder.)
