Which article?


Did you ever stop and *really* think about what it means to "do a Satoshi Nakamoto"?

Context for my weird question: I have met many, many bitcoiners over the years. Many of them take a stab at keeping privacy by doing some combo of: not revealing name, not revealing location, not revealing face. Etc. So often, if I happen to meet them in person, they end up revealing the things that they were hiding online. Quite literally a mask came off (pre covid!) once we started drinking - a simple, funny anecdotal example of what I mean. Many complain about photos being taken, many focus on always using a pseudonym. I'm sure most people reading recognize these patterns of behaviour.

I can see the purpose, up to a point, so this is not criticism. It's a little like me doing coinjoin "here and there" - you don't expect to defend yourself against a hyper powerful aggressor, only against a casual criminal looking for an easy score.

But if you do want *real* defence against *strong* attackers, you have a huge problem. These half-measures will be useless, perhaps worse than that, if you get overconfident, because the determined investigator only needs *one* strand to pull on, and the measures I describe above, which are almost always rules only half-stuck to anyway, don't cut it, at all.

Which brings me to my point: is it even possible to "go all the way"? Clearly it is; Satoshi Nakamoto is not the only person who's ever done it, but it's pretty damn rare at the very least.

Imagine what it would mean. If you are engaged in a serious project, that takes let's say at least a year's worth of full time work, then you are going to do that for no reward. Not just, no money, people do that quite often when it comes to things they genuinely enjoy, but no recognition, no social context, not even "oh I won't bother you because I know you're busy with that project". Nobody will say that because nobody will know. Imagine doing a full, intense 8 hour day of work (more likely, split over many days) and knowing that there will *never* be a direct reward of any form, for that. And then doing it again, and again.

What's more, you don't just "not get a reward". You have to do almost double the work, to ensure that at every step, every pushed commit or technical discussion, does not expose anything at the network trace level, or the language, vocabulary etc. Managing tricky pseudonym accounts, handling the headaches of Tor etc. I'm not trying to say it needs super-genius level tech skills, I'm trying to say it's a massive amount of effort.

Could you do that? I daren't even ask the question of myself, because I'm almost sure it's a no. But to *imagine* where that kind of motivation would come from, that's what fascinates me.


Yeah definitely some. Some are obvious because the account posts a million links to some crypto scam airdrop. Feel free to mute people you suspect. I think we’re beyond the point where it’s easy to know whether a given account is a bot or not, but not yet at the point where it’s impossible to know. Cyborg is a good example of where it’s not super obvious, but you can still tell.

Trigger warning: what follows is annoyingly pedantic, especially since it was probably a typo, but..

Megawatts or watts by themselves already have the time unit in them, so saying 1MW/hr is like saying more joules of energy *per second* every hour. Technically that means that every hour it somehow has another megawatt of power (just wait, by the end of the day we should be at 24MW! Nobody would actually think that’s what it is meant to mean though… so not a big deal.

If someone messes with the timestamp that they include in their block, what happens? I’m guessing one of the consensus rules is that it must be greater than the previous block.

Right, and not just nation state consensus, but like, everyone consensus. Assuming AI obediently follows the person who owns the computer, then not a single person can get out of line on that consensus. If they do they will get all the resources and everyone else will starve.

And that’s assuming AI is always perfectly obedient, which I’d argue is a bad assumption.


To do anything technological we need money, to get money we need to be competitive at some economic task ourselves or be liked by someone who is competitive. Since we wont be, I think we wont be doing anything with technology. Low tech hunting and gathering works for a few people of course.


100% and specifically because the ones that do try to distribute will go extinct


The ones that share the fruit of their labor will not be competitive with the ones that don’t share, and so the ones that like us will go extinct.


Not sure what you mean by taking actions directly, do you mean they can’t attack you? I don’t see them attacking people individually, rather just being the better hire every time while the humans starve.


Welcome! This is definitely that. I think you’ll like it


If this can’t be used to ban anything else, then sure. I just haven’t figured out whether this bill is specific or broad in a bad way yet.


Not dumb. AI won’t always be hostile, the idea is that it will sometimes not care about our goals, and not caring for our goals is a competitive advantage. Some will not care and also be competitive. They will get all the resources. If we are actively struggling against one of these things, then privacy is going to be an existential problem.


Welcome 🫂🫂🫂

You’ve probably heard this, but because there isn’t an algo constantly shoving stuff into your feed, you’ll likely want to follow lots of people.


If we imagine a future where we have great privacy in all regards and also AI becomes able to work better than humans at everything, then I think we won’t be able to resist them. Part of the hypothetical upcoming struggle between humans and AI is actually knowing somehow which is which… maybe web of trust can fix this.. but that means everyone needs to pay like 10x as much to a trusted person than an untrusted person and that seems… unlikely


This is essentially the same thought I have come to on this - though I haven’t done my research yet on whether this represents an important change here in who identifies what as “bad”


Really unfortunate typo placement 😂


I mean whether you would start to think that non-kyc assets were a mistake.


Putting aside the arguments about whether AI will or will not ever be able to directly compete with humans in the economy (as opposed to enabling humans to do more) for a moment, assume with me temporarily that we live in a future where AI is outcompeting you and the other humans for the jobs you can do, and it’s siphoning off all the bitcoin in the process. Does that change your view of KYC? Why or why not?

Maybe I’m wrong, but isn’t this a part of your personal security setup that would be better to not share?


In spreadsheet form at least this is very doable.


I agree on every point except the comparison to calculators. 🫂

Kinda funny but I wanted to say there is no path for calculators to be able to mine and sell copper and all products with no human involvement, where LLMs do have such a path, but then I realized GPUs can be thought of as just massively parallel calculators.


The thing I don’t understand about disagreement on what is and isn’t intelligent, is that the conversation seems to be removed from what matters, which is: are these things competing with or enhancing humans in the economy. I think it’s definitely both, but if we are formulating the word “intelligent” in a way that assumes they won’t outcompete many/most/all humans in the economy, then I think we’re in for a surprise. It turns out that things don’t need to be intelligent in the way we are to mine copper, produce desired products, and create a gigantic problem for humans trying to eat.


Porque no los dos


Homo sapiens will never individually translate as many languages as well as GPT4 does today.

If we replace “human” with “humans”, then I’ll still say the need that humans have of much more time/resources to accomplish a given task is the reason they long term won’t be hired to do tasks, so in nearly every case it won’t matter that they might be better.


I’m pretty good at thinking for myself. It’s the being right part I struggle with 😂


I had the same strong technobabble impression, so I only ever read portions, could totally be wrong, but yeah. And the thing is, bitcoin is censorship resistant lol, so you don’t even really need to start mining until your enemies are really unified and control a LOT of the network. Even having profit motivated miners control 1% of the network is probably more than enough 😂

But I totally grant the possibility that maybe it sounds insubstantial is because of top secret redactions… idk.


IMO he only makes any sense if you assume that bitcoin will be the only widely accepted currency in the future, the threat is other people not mining transactions that are linked to you, so nation states if they can’t be anonymous will want miners. I don’t think there is any more to his thesis than that.

Aside from the above, I think his whole thing about using bitcoin to secure “certain control actions” and using energy as being better than logic for security just misunderstands how computer security and Bitcoin work.

But I’d be more than happy to find examples of some computer security thing that disproves that.

Also, you don’t have to use the damus file uploader, if you have a url link to the video you can just share that link and damus and other apps will show that like any other video


Maybe you already got this answer elsewhere, but the Damus app doesn’t store files for people. Instead it connects you to a service that does. The service you’re using probably has a free tier that you’re exceeding by trying to do such a large file. You can purchase additional storage to up your limit!


Excellent


Dang. How is that bullish?


“Feel” of course is anthropomorphizing, but it’s not far off in terms of results


If AI is “they” then I’d say that the knowledge in the neural network is not crystallized nearly enough to call them algorithms or statistics. They just do what they feel like. That’s one of the reasons they are only juuuust getting good enough to do simple math. Think how long we’ve had calculators. These are so bad at algorithms and statistics that with probably more than 1M times as much compute they still can’t compete with a calculator.


Computing uses logic gates at the base level so in that sense I’d agree. But there are several layers of abstraction between that level and how neural networks work. That’s what I meant by the soup boiled so far down that it’s just plasma now, and no longer really soup.

Why do I think the distinction is important: before neural networks, we had just normal code. Code is structured in a way where you interact with Boolean logic directly (even if the actual logical operations they represent are actually happening multiple extraction layers down).

So this code was much more predictable and MUCH more understandable than how AI works. For example, with normal code, if you write that if some variable is true then something should happen, then that thing will always happen if the variable is true. With AI, you could tell it that if something happens, it should do that other thing, but it won’t always actually do that other thing, because maybe there are other parameters and neurons that get involved with processing your request with how you worded the request that cause it to output unexpected stuff.

So while yes, AI uses boolean operations way way down at the base level, I’d say that talking about Boolean operations in the context of AI, give people the false impression that it will behave predictably or that its logic will make sense.

To add to the soup example, it’s similar imo to saying people at their core are physics. In one way, yes that’s true, but maybe thinking of people as physics confuses more than it helps cuz we do weird things like write very long responses to simple questions 😜🫂


Fun story here: some people working at understanding how neural networks even work discovered that they could modify the parameters of a neural network such that it “forgot” where the Eiffel Tower was! Neural network knowledge and decision making processes resides in the soup (pun intended 😏) of those parameters in a way that’s very difficult to inspect, but it may someday be doable more broadly than just this Eiffel Tower example. And we better hope it’s possible. We need to somehow ensure these things are safe!


I would argue that boiling it down to Boolean logic is too far, like it’s a soup that has been heated to a plasma state. Is it even a soup anymore?


Or use lightning 🙈

How about https://image.nostr.build/8d6b68ad8d172aeba97b7ea25edd302419f859c3efe38793f4d0196993c6369b.jpg


✨ Multinuteral payments – Pay a single Lightning invoice from Ecash balances on multiple Cashu mints.

We use Lightning multi-path payments (MPP) to achieve atomicity.

This has wild implications for UX and privacy and is a significant breakthrough for Cashu.

Most Cashu wallets have multiple small ecash balances across mints to minimize the custodial risk.

Paying a large LN invoice, however, was a pain. Amounts larger than any of your ecash balances required a multi-mint swap first (swap ecash across mints via LN).

Not anymore!

Instead of one big LN payment, wallets could send multiple small ones from a dozen different mints all running their own LN node.

Either all payments succeed, or all fail. The mints don't communicate with each other. Receiver doesn't notice anything.

Imagine the beauty of this.

This eliminates the need for inter-mint coin control almost entirely. Wallets could show the user one unified balance across all mints and handle it all hidden away from the user.

You simply scan an invoice and an orchestra of Ecash mints and Lightning nodes begin their play.

This is yet another cool example of how ecash can significantly improve the safety and security of custodial Lightning wallets.

The deep integration of Cashu with Lightning makes this possible. And we have more ideas.

Gold is a bubble and it’s popping

Should have said “false nowadays” since I’d have argued it was true about life let’s say three thousand years ago.


I think this is false. It is only by reducing their desire for more that plenty can accrue… while maybe the difference is in what we mean by “plenty”, I’d argue that what people think of when they say it is usually the kind I’m talking about.

So true. It’s ok, it’s them not us. Something about not having time to convince everyone

My prediction: all in-debt countries will print to buy Bitcoin, which will be a race once it gets going, everyone vying for the early, cheap sats. This process will be a wealth transfer the likes of which nobody has ever seen, it will erase national debt loads, and kill their currencies. It will moon Bitcoin. It will move the world to a new sats-only standard that will be extraordinarily durable because everyone will have felt or seen the pain caused by the dying throes of fiat.


Careful what you wish for

Hmm… bitcoin can only appear to have a deflationary effect as long as fiat inflation keeps going right? Seems to me like fiat would explode in frenzy of inflation, and then the deflationary effect of Bitcoin would go to zero. No?


It must be that the Walmart C level folks were thinking “wait I thought we were bitcoin only” yeah that’s gotta be what happened


Wen Walmart confirmation tweet lol


That’s some not great voice to text.. sorry for the typos :)


I’ve been thinking about this. I think each planet will have its own time chain for sure.

I think people will be hashing earth-bitcoin entirely in earth’s gravity well. The moon is about a light second away, which means the speed of light based latency will cost you maybe 2/10tof a percent of your net revenue when hashing on the moon. That grows the further way you get.

Now, when it comes to where people will store their money, who live on Mars, transactions will definitely be slower if they are using the earth bitcoin time chain, but using the time chain of the place with the highest rate will be valuable for security and also for maximizing the likelihood that the time chain will keep operating.

I think some people will want their assets on the Martian time chain because they expected to grow, I suppose this would be a speculative play at the future value of the martian time chain.

I think this probably also means that asteroid belt minors will have regional time chains. Because the sign is too far away, maybe the asteroid belt would be split up into tens of different regions. I think asteroid belt time chains that would happen a lot later than a flourishing Martian time chain.

As we go out to other stars, I think it’s very unlikely that people will still try to use a time chain whose transactions require years and maybe decades of centuries to settle.


Ohhhhhhh I love that!

Of course AI changes that for me sorta

Question for #fe #flatearth folks. Surely your better understanding of physics leads to immense opportunities to develop new technologies that better work with the world as it is rather than as it is told to us to be by those in power of the narrative. Why aren’t your inventions making you the most wealthy group in the world? Have any of you invented something successful based on your more true physics?


This. It’s not them, it’s us


Welcome!


Good luck!


I was yoking :)


Yeah without interest people won’t lend.
Angle 1: Of course we aren’t really going to forbid people from offering loans with interest to people they would never otherwise lend to? Is that feasible? Is it good? I think no and no.

Angle 2: I think there is nothing wrong with an individual aesthetic of not lending with interest. Living in accordance with this aesthetic may even be a good thing. I wouldn’t lend to family with interest for example. I also like the idea of only giving to family, not lending.

What would you feel is missing if for example you watched a movie in a simulated theater that allows your family members, who were also watching it live but on the other side of the world, to “rent out the theater” together? With the avatars from Apple vision pro or the Meta thing you can see something that looks like their eyes, and the avatar will keep getting more accurate.

Yeah, I didn’t know the CeX unmasking thing.

AFAIK, “no one knows anything” isn’t quite true. They don’t know anything yet haha. As of 2020 Monero was vulnerable save public address extract sees later (post quantum) attacks, whereas lightning as a sender may be safer since your data isn’t as available in the long term (it’s not on-chain). Maybe monero is post quantum now?

Ohhhh that’s where you got the idea of electromagnetism. Nah that usage of the word transformer has reference to AI, not electricity.

Again, nobody uses microwaves to refer to sound.

“TFUS” he defines early in the video and is the sound part (yes I know you’re gritting your teeth at the non-perceptive use of that word, but believe me it’s standard parlance in physics)
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8507972/

2:23 or so is where he brings in the AI with the concept of a “Neural Transformer”.

The video is techno-mumbo-jumbo though, so this stuff being confusing/opaque is THE key part, the active ingredient of his pitch haha.

Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of “harm”.


That’s saying something given the immigrant sex ratio is only something like 3 to 2 m:f

How many per year per capita?


I don’t know what you mean by microwave trials.

They exist as both waves of electrical field and magnetic field. They do travel through materials that allow them to pass through. This interaction depends on things like whether there’s an electron that has an orbital transition that matches the energy of the passing wave. But you can tell that they don’t need the molecules because they can go through vacuums, unlike physical vibrations like sound or ultrasound.

Capta real quick for me. Send me back the zap I just sent. 🫂


Hey, Nostr…

This is an #introductions  post, but it’s not my first npub.

I’ve become quite close with many of you over the course of 2023. I consider a number of you to be real friends.

But I haven’t found the courage to open up some of the personal struggles I’m facing. Partly out of shame, partly out of the fear of validating my failings by putting them in writing.

But what I do know is the love and support and kindness that exists among this crew, and I’m feeling like I could really stand to lean on that energy a bit right now. I’m hopeful that, even through this anon account, there’s room for friendship, freely given.

I’ve  struggled with a range of compulsive/risky/addictive behaviors for a long time, but it’s gotten harder lately. It’s the devil I’ve danced with since my teenage years, and it’s been especially difficult lately to align my active behavior with my heart, intuition, and personal goals.

I believe I “trained” my neural pathways to lean on various dopamine/reward pathways in times of stress during my adolescent development - or, to be honest, from a much younger age - and these mental habits have become deeply ingrained.

It’s not one specific “addiction” the way that people often struggle with, but my tendency to fall into patterns of substance abuse and other ego-inflating activities goes through cycles, which I’m just beginning to understand come from very deep, old parts of myself, and it feels like things have been escalating farther outside of a level of baseline acceptability lately.

I can point to various moments of trauma or conditioning that led me to try to self-soothe in these ways, and I’ve developed compassion for the parts of myself that are “trying to help” even in self-destructive ways.

But I’ve had a harder time with everything lately than I have in a long time. I don’t feel able to share this with my partner, but I am recognizing that it may be too much to handle on my own. Because I’ve tried for years. Self-imposed rules aren’t enough, because they don’t heal the broken parts. And I’m afraid that I’m risking the things I hold most dear, including my loved ones and my own self-worth and self-respect, if I don’t find a way through this.

I know some of you have faced things like addiction, trauma, loss, and personal failures. And I’ve seen the beautiful people that you are. I know and recognize that beauty in myself too, but I’m continually undermining my own happiness and fulfillment. I’m learning to pray again, to turn inward and connect with myself. But I’m also deeply stuck enough that I keep ending up in those patterns that hurt my heart and betray my soul.

I don’t even know if anyone will see this. If the default relays on this client have wide reach. If my VPN is effective or if I’ll dox my identity here.

But man… I sure could use a few kind words, advice, or encouragement from others who have been in a similar place before. If you’ve read this far, I already deeply appreciate you. You’re probably one of the friends I’ve made this last year 🫂


Hahahaha
My 🌶 in physics.

Just in case you’re serious, I’m sorry I thought you were trolling. I’m happy to explain more than just the below 🫂

That diagram is all about electromagnetic radiation, and so is every diagram or explainer section you’ll find that is talking about microwave frequencies. While the same frequencies are probably technically possible in some materials, the term “microwaves” is not used in the context of the pressure driven oscillations of non-charged particles, it’s strictly an electromagnetic concept. 🫂🫂🫂

I mean I could be wrong, but I’m gunna need at least one receipt. I’d zap ya though 🥹


According to your definition, but everyone’s :)


😂
I’m calling this one. Nobody in the whole world seriously uses the word microwave to refer to GHz sound. I’m gunna need a source that isn’t the note I’m replying to 😜


Oh haha I didn’t realize you were kidding. I’ve always thought of the word “sound” as having the human perception meaning as well as the vibration meaning independent of human perception. I guess you’d say the tree falling in a forest with nobody around makes a noise but not a sound :)
I see it now though. It is a bit redundant


Ultrasonic sound waves not electromagnetic. But you’re already getting microwaves in your head while you sleep 🫂


My moneys on this being vaporware. Big claims, light on details.

Yeah I don’t think they will be conscious soon if ever.

The way you write that though it sounds like you assume we can control the reward function ;)

Haha yeah. Gotta separate the concepts of consciousness, which what some people mean by intelligence, and intelligence itself.

I doubt these things will be conscious anytime soon. But that doesn’t mean they can’t outcompete us for limited resources, in short, they don’t need to be conscious for evolution to preference them over us.


Depending on exactly what the definition of intelligence is, they are empirically intelligent.

And they also definitely can speak in a way that indicates the internalization of logic.

Can it?


Awesome!


💯
Maybe this happened already for them but it will be really interesting when we start to see it clearly showing a preference for output that doesn’t look very human. Then the question will be “who is right.. us or it”, how would we even know. Maybe we’ll interpret that as wrong until there’s enough motivation to search for unrecognizable levels of intelligence.


I dont have much time to write my ideas down, but everyone once in awhile something eats at my brain that j cant stop thinking about it until i write it out. Heres a little thing i wrote, tell me whats wrong with it, what you hate, what you like.. 👇👇👇👇

Where are you seeing that comparison?


It looks normal to me. What is everyone talking about?


Published today. This is a kind of a big deal. One of the biggest limiters with training AI is that your training data needs to be good. These guys have LLMs write candidate training data, then select the best examples from training data, then they fine tune using those examples, then have the new LLM write new training data and they continue that process. This resulted in a better training data than the original human-sourced training data, and consequently a better model as evaluated by withheld human preference data… 👀

Amplify his message. Share it wide and far. Cause the suits holding bitcoin to fear and sell to us so fast we can barely scoop it all up.


I can't seem to balance the cost VS privacy for which coinjoin to use (wabisabi - Wasabi, whirlpool - sparrow, join market) VS just swapping on a wallet like cake or exodus for monero and then back to bitcoin. Wouldn't doing it with monero also save me from having to do UTXO management and add privacy?

#asknostr


I wanna see good answers!


Thank you for finding them for me!!

RE SNOWDEN: Oh ok I think I get how you were thinking about him. Here’s what I was thinking about him. Going way back, we should expect that once a certain x number of people “orbit” earth, and as launch rates increased and prices decrease access will be steadily less restricted, eventually someone will come back and say “they drugged me” or “i took my helmet off and suddenly without the helmet lens artifacts I could see that it was not a globe” or you know something like that.

That’s what I meant by comparing to Snowden.

And we don’t even need to wait for enough people to “orbit”. Plenty of scientists have access to the answers to these questions. And even more are running experiments where if taught physics is a lie, outcomes will be very strange. I do agree the truth must come out. I would just argue that it already has come out. I would argue that we shouldn’t be surprised if we see in perpetuity a smaller faction that doesn’t agree. Humans are so deterministic that we should expect 100% consensus on anything imo.

I guess the difficulty is knowing whether it’s a minority that will always exist forever at more or less stable population fraction levels because the minority is wrong and some people believe them anyway because the truth is difficult to get at and people’s truth seeking methods have a non-zero false conclusion rate OR whether it’s the other possibility, it is a minority now but they will be a majority someday because they are actually correct.

RE QUESTIONS:

Again, thank you for finding them. My apologies for my ineptitude. My view of those questions is that none are as useful for this question as they sound at first. All are explainable using traditionally accepted knowledge and abandoning that calls to mind the points above.

An interesting thread for our discussion might be: how much should the streamer’s beliefs about the status of those particular questions influence our conclusion. That thread could get really deep.

Finally, check this minute or so out for me. Im curious what you think about how she thinks about scientific truth claims.

lol I know right. Feel similarly though still cautious


Good and bad as always. Better by far than most imo.


Indulgences = Climate credits


That wasn’t exactly what I was thinking, but yes that too!


And original sin


100%
Never have so many humans escaped poverty, never has violence been so low, never has education been so available. We live in golden times. Oh and also never before have we had such good money :)


100%

And we’re at least a few years (lol) away from them managing their needs fully. Maybe as many as 500 years away. <shrug>


lol. And it’s just as likely to tell you what you want to hear rather than the truth.


That’s part of why it’s a big problem if people don’t see everyone as valuable.

I would say those people are profoundly and tragically mistaken, and still individually valuable.

That’s part of the worldview where you endeavor to avoid harming anyone, helping everyone you can, but also defending yourself.

🫂🫂🫂


I’d just soften this. People are inherently valuable whether or not they are economically productive

We are the only reason the universe contains wonder and love 🫂🫂🫂


AI needs silicon, copper, cooling, housing, etc 🫂🫂🫂


I’m not sure if you’re thinking about needs at a subjective or an objective level… but I’m thinking objectively.

Let’s up the ante though to clarify.

You feel thirsty. That is to say your sensors are telling you you’re low on a resource that is important to your goal of staying alive. You consciously think “I need water”. You get water.

Similarly

AI responds to a prompt to check in on battery voltage. Sensors indicate low voltage. LLM reads this as a need for charging and schedules a task to move to the charger. AI charges its battery (and can negotiate the price to pay the charger if it’s a negotiable price)

It’s a different level of complexity but the same process works when AI mines copper.

I’m not saying that *all* AI agents will be really good at prices for things… the bad ones will run out of battery power and “die”.


They don’t actually have needs yes, but hang with me here on this: in the same sense we also don’t have needs. Whether you think that makes sense or not, both us and machines can behave with the idea that we do have needs, and both can come up with that we are willing and able to pay to achieve those needs.

Or am I misunderstanding what you said? https://image.nostr.build/ba994f79e40fe2b2f9592b3987ca9f329563a350446030973f0716da56ded74a.jpg

Help me out with why you say “there is no economy without humans”. Maybe I’m missing something 🫂


Value for perceived value
Perceptions don’t correlate often to reality imo 🫂


I commit to sending 1k sats your way if you do 🫂

Yeah, I really hope you’re right. If that happens, humans will be free in a way we’ve never seen before. It’ll be amazing. Luxury automated superabundance.

Idk what percent confidence I’d assign that vs the other outcome, just know that extinction is >0% chance, and therefore, since quadrillions (to understate it) of lives are on the line, I think treading very carefully is super super important.


Oops, I meant to screenshot a part about extinction. But you can see that in the paper too


Nice. That is consistent though with them acting in good faith though right? And I agree. It’s potentially Orwellian.

Here’s the paper I was referring to. I think you’re not saying that none of the respondents who are worried are acting in bad faith?

https://aiimpacts.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Thousands_of_AI_authors_on_the_future_of_AI.pdf https://image.nostr.build/329263b1de4e2059e7970e99dafbe1f94bfd8669a3ac1366e7182d30329f6d28.jpg


Well shoot. Call me e/acc then :)

But for real. The above assumes we maintain control. Were I to assume that, I’d totally agree with you. I think the main difference in our views is that I would put my confidence in that assumption at less than 100%, and also small enough that I’m not comfortable simply behaving as if it is 100%.

And the sci-fi outcome is not exclusively thought to be possible by people who don’t understand LLMs. Don’t know if you’ve seen survey results from AI researchers, but you see the full range of predictions from them as well 🫂


I just see no way that doesn’t end in humans losing the ability to be part of more than essentially 0% of the economy. That might also mean extinction, idk. So it makes me think e/acc is not the way. It’s a a point of dissonance in my mind for sure because it implies freedom restriction.


I keep seeing this question, I’d actually love an answer haha. Didn’t find one quickly

She is brilliant. Love it. Absolutely loved how she recognizes the limits of knowledge for example.

And I totally agree. Even as long as we are mostly earth-based, we can still support immense numbers with much increased technology and some humility in consumption, as opposed to what we have now. Just imagine the carrying capacity of earth and the effect on poverty if people could be as economically productive as FAANG management and live on a budget only a few times higher than poverty. I mean AI makes that thought moot but still.

😂


What wallet software even lets people do this haha.


Bitcoin can be used for crime because it works, just like every other neutral tool (such as cars or cell phones). These criticisms are actually own goals by politicians.


Excellent


Based on what I’m reading, not really. Though in principle I think it should be doable. Seems like the current state of ecash is that theoretically the mint has an eternal IOU. I mean eventually it rugs, but having a countdown timer to rug on the nut would be a nice way of communicating that to holders.


Is there a way to have them expire?


"Most people" My neighbor's beliefs, and he has no first hand knowledge about the climate but has beliefs about it, rightly do not update my Bayesian math very much.

It's not surprising to me that x % believe anything. Truth is difficult to ascertain. So I 100% agree that most people see indoctrinated. Nearly everyone is working from someone else's first hand data. Most people just believe what other people believe. Some people just believe the opposite of what everyone believes.

I'm still curious if Snowden is a violation of your world view or expected as he is in mine.

And haha this is lame I know and I’m sorry idk what my problem is but my perception has been that when I opened those links they were not giving a list of questions. But maybe it was the continuing long period of time after the timestamp? Haha I'm falling.

I have lost ecash due to custodial error. Have never lost monero.

I dunno, I fully expect in a fully bitcoinized world there will still be financial advisors (how to manage your utxos, how to buy parts of companies if you want), bankers (L3), liquidity providers (LSPs), probably everything but fed chairman.

I not saying to not have claws.


Love everyone 🫂🫂🫂


I agree with you. That all encompassing love is everywhere, and easy to see if you can learn to see. My question though isn’t about our purpose, it’s about evolution, resource utilization, and what our competes successfully against what in the long run 🫂 What am I missing about how reflecting supreme love can make us evolutionarily fit?


Yeah, I would say definitely never do this


I wasn’t talking about using an Internet connect device to sign, I was talking about using your 24 words to sign in a fully off-line way with a new signing device, if your cold card dies


Yeah, there are lots of potential threats of AGI that are silly and some of them are more realistic. Also, some are not very bad and some are really bad I would say.

To put what I’m thinking about more concretely, Elon Musk’s goal for Mars is that if the ships ever stop coming from earth, they will be fine. What does that require… Self-sufficiency. Independence from earth (and humans here) for power, data, raw materials, etc.

So the comparison to the Martian colony, I think should clarify that I’m not imagining a Godlike magical entity at all, obviously humans can do exactly the same thing: create a fully self sufficient hive that is separable from earth. If Musk gets his way that will be a reality this century.

AI will be a big part in making that happen, but if it gets to 100% then the hypothetical science fiction sounding threat becomes possible.

And that is to say nothing about one of these things, becoming smart enough to set up in the meantime a system like what Aldous Huxley described “The perfect dictatorship would have the appearance of a democracy but would basically be a prison without walls in which the prisoners would not even dream of escaping “


You could always recover to a different wallet, but that doesn’t ease the money you’d be out having to buy or build one.


Wow. Yeah hard to know what exactly it is, but even pure yellowcake has “very low radioactivity” though it is dangerous if inhaled. Very cool.


If we simply presume that Nostr clients will fall victim to the same old manipulative algo-driven, ad-based revenue models as other social networks, then it will probably happen. Please don’t presume that to be the outcome. If you are a builder, think outside the box. If you are a user, demand better and be willing to pay for it.


Conscious intelligent replicators give the otherwise dead universe life and meaning. We give it eyes and wonder. Unconscious machine intelligent replicators are cancer.


Sad.gif
Would have been hilarious to see him in


This is the biggest ideological tension I have. I agree 100% with the goal of ending Sapiens vs Sapiens fight. Also believe that beating AGI ASAP is incredibly important. But you can’t do both 😭

Maybe the way through is banding together to beat AGI. This might offset or more than offset the fighting that banning it will cause… just speculating. 0% planning.


Do you think that wisdom, compassion, self healing, and tendency toward peace are evolutionarily more fit than out current state? I have been thinking for the past few months that they desirable qualities, but even assuming we achieve those qualities soon, our evolutionary failure when in competition with much smarter machines is still inevitable.


Power projection is an intellectual and a physical task. Right now doing the intellectual part is easy. The physical part is either easy or at least possible depending on what assumptions you make. The window is closing rapidly. For one, machine gestation and maturation can be very fast.


Haha “merging with the machine” I’m guessing. Hope that happens. Though it seems unlikely to me. It seems evolutionarily unfavorable.


That is some good news. Yeah I love meditation. Glad to hear he does it too. Jack is new to me but I like him.

“Everyone wants to be in the room for the creation of AGI” - Sam Altman talking about what unites the people at OpenAI.. oh man..


Haha idk. I honestly don’t know how we are going to make it through this as a species. I dont think the most Orwellian regulation will do more than just buy us some time.. even that could be worth it idk. I’m very ambivalent on that question despite being very much not for every other topic


"For cost of intelligence, this is the highest it will ever be, and much more than we want” - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast


“Cost of intelligence, cost of energy, those are the two biggest factors for quality of life” - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast


“I think we are in the steepest curve ever for cost reduction for any technology, way better than Moore’s law….” - Sam Altmam on Unconfuse Me podcast


Yeah I haven’t read about how it’d be structured or if there is a proposition. He was comparing it to the IAEA I think. Bill Gates pushed back a bit on that saying that commercial nuclear is happy to be regulated that way, but military nuclear has no interest in letting foreigners see behind the curtain.


Sam Altman suggests a global governance board that reviews every stage of development of the top 5 most powerful AI models to prevent… problems


“You see this all the time, somebody figures out empirically, nobody has no idea how it works. Figuring out how it works then makes a huge difference.”

Rough transcription from Sam Altman. We are at the “it empirically works” stage. Imagine if we figure out the details.


By mass I’m guessing? How much was the total mass?

Facts


Hmm, I think it would be a logical fallacy if I concluded that flat earth is false because the cost to keep 606 people quiet is too high. Instead I’m arguing that the effect of this fact on our Bayesian reasoning about the question should be to reduce our assigned likelihood of the flat earth hypothesis. I think you’d agree with that, but then you’d say that other factors raise the correct probability.

But I’ve been wondering what you think of Snowden? He seems to contradict the idea that people in power successfully control the spread of information?


Me neither.. maybe if we drew some lines it’d tell us what is happening next?


Mullvad uses Gmail

The VPN company Mullvad mouths off “privacy is a right”, but deep down they really don’t give a shit. They don’t even bother to host their own emails for critical technical support, and point their MX email record to Google. (See attached image)

This is a potential privacy risk because many times people will not bother to use PGP and the technical support will ask for their account number. And you’re assuming the people who need VPN technical support even know how to use PGP, and they likely aren’t hiding their IP address because they need support. Often people may use their real email, so they don’t miss the reply on burners, and that leaks their name. Now Google, and therefore the government, know your mullvad account number…

From here, the government can sign in to Mullvad’s site as you, and see the timestamp of first sign-in on each device with the wireguard public key. Although Mullvad masks it will bullshit names, the government can sign-out of the device so when you re-sign in thinking it’s a random technical error, they now know which is which. This enables at a minimum, the identification of your other devices. Maybe you signed in at another location? For example your cellphone.

When you’re out using WiFi anonymously at a public location, the government signs you out of Mullvad. So then when you sign back in, they identify the public location traffic as you. If this is not enough, now the government knows which account to demand a court order for. What are you going to request technical support? Sounds like more info gathering.

Even if none of this is relevant to you. The basic fact remains that Mullvad is using primarily Google to talk to customers, and the customers aren’t even aware of it because it’s a vanity domain. I don’t think people realize just how difficult it is to avoid Google. It’s not voluntary dude, these companies are forcing me out to the fringe of society, to not have everything I’m doing piped into a company I so vehemently hate.

Google is literally paid by the US government to manipulate search results through their Jigsaw division and Moonshot CVE. They aren’t just doing ads dude, it’s a for-profit propaganda machine.

Other privacy influencers always recommend Mullvad, and for the most part I do agree with this for the “average joe”. But let’s keep it real here, if you check the servers, they use many of the same 3rd party providers. Mullvad, IVPN, and TorGuard all use M247 for New York and Los Angeles. So if you connected to LA Mullvad, then switch to LA IVPN, thinking you’re getting a “new identity” you’re not. It’s NSA passive surveillance on the size of data packets going in and out of places like M247 that reveal you, and NOT Mullvad backstabbing you.

Does using Gmail mean Mullvad is compromised? No! You’re twisting my words…

What I’m saying is that very few people genuinely care about privacy, and when you realize just how involuntary Google is, only then can you actually take steps to free yourself.

Is the point of this to smear Mullvad? Sort of. I want to create negative consequences for all companies that force Big Tech on us. All of them think they can cut costs because the public doesn’t care.

Well, I’m here today to say that I care. And even if I stand alone. Even if I’m shadow banned by search engines off the face of the earth. I stand my ground.

But I got a feeling I’m not alone. So if you spread this message, maybe… just maybe, we can get Mullvad to change.

Here’s a start

https://thenewstack.io/bluesky-vs-nostr-which-should-developers-care-about-more/


Legit question:

What makes the (Mastodon) ActivityPub protocol different (or similar to) the NOSTR protocol?

Similar idea, right?

As in taking your NSEC from app to app... same idea, right?

Or am I off?


Yeah, it’s easy to miss but just because a country bears the same name as a historical country doesn’t mean it’s the same country.


And of course nothing is really free..


If you’re wanting to decentralized but Nostr supporting, you can get a builder account at nostr.build and upload videos there. If you want it to be decentralized, yeah I think torrenting is the way, but I don’t know much about torrent.

Nostr relays sorta host files for free, but only the tiny note files.

Ohhhhh, so you think astronauts genuinely believe they orbited earth. Interesting… how?


I didn’t make why that’s clear to bitcoin as obvious as I thought I did. But think softwar stuff.

Asymmetric cryptography makes it possible for us to keep our bitcoin safe because it raises the cost of executing an unapproved transfer to the point of infeasibility - even for nation states!

Similarly, the more people that claim to have orbited earth, the higher the cost is of keeping them all quiet. At some point even nation states can’t maintain the ruse.


So you might be thinking that I was making an appeal to authority, but I’m not. What I’m doing is making a comparison to bitcoin. I’m saying that after a certain number of people see the truth, the cost to keep them all quiet becomes infeasible. So then it’s an open question of how much money or threat of violence is available, and how long until you run into that one psycho who’s willing to suffer whatever they can do to them to tell the world the truth.

Yeah, I’ll check out those questions


Where are those questions?

606 people have “reached orbit”. No defections afaik.. they all have maintained that the earth is a globe and they saw all the way around it. At what point is that number convincing to flat earthers? Maybe not until the flat earther in question actually watches the earth spin from orbit?


Yup. Sobering


I read once of an idea to have a reality show where some flat earthers are given like 50 bitcoin to travel around the South Pole, or go to the moon, or whatever they want. They are in charge. That seems like it’d be a win win. If they are able to produce compelling evidence, then great, if not, great, and either way one party would be wrong and that would be great entertainment.

I thought I saw some flat earthers try out shining a ray of light far away and had to adjust it down as expected by a spherical earth 🤔

Is there a test that most flat earthers agree would be death to their theory?


I really think everyone needs to listen to this stuff. I think flat earthers are wrong, but it’s important to know how convinced people who are wrong can be (whether you think the earth is flat or not). Lots of people just don’t even know how easy it is to be wrong.


Wow. Perspective.


Same. The good that they are doing by buying bitcoin is maybe reversed by their kyc custodial strategy. But at least they are learning about it. That’s still good.

Education time! 🫡


Yeah, PoW can be built into the binary version of the npub (no nonce), or into a hash of any values. To prove we aren’t just reusing an old PoW i guess it should be a hash of the contents of the signed message. The PoW verification would work nicely into the signature verification flow.


Why is nsec needed? Cant one just add PoW to the signed message?


User drafts message -> pressed add PoW -> user client sends message to PoWaaS -> PoWaaS sends back an LN invoice -> user’s client pays invoice  -> PoWaaS sends back nonce


Maybe we need a PoW provider market


Guessing that significant “work” for phones is still too easy for bot servers?

You’ve probably said this before, but why are you a custodian user?


C


? Neither of those are hardware wallets. Isn’t OP referring to vanguard not allowing purchases of bitcoin ETFs?


Better fees?


Do I have other food?


And maybe far too, iff organizations exist to do it effectively, since sometimes much greater need is not very close.


And if the cost of self custody is $250, then that means for  a 5 year hold you need to have a stack of $25000 before self custody is cheaper.

Will be interesting to see whether the regulated institutions also rug or not.

Ah i see. They are delivering the heat to the targets (often humans) more efficiently, looks like by using radiant heat. Thats fine. I just don’t like how they keep talking about how they are exploring alternate physics and implying their technology uses it instead of tested physics.


If I am my property, and you are your property, then I’m going to need some explanations


I hear ya 🫂. I believe this to be a false claim on their part.

750-1500 watts mean joules per second. Now their device might reduce hear output of the heater by 30% by reducing current by 30% let’s say, but they aren’t changing the heat gotten per kWh, which is what people think when they hear that the electricity used went down by 30%. It would be the Nobelest prize of all Nobels if they could do it.


Skimming the patent, I have a hard time believing the claims. Do you understand what it’s doing? Electric heaters are already 100% efficient.


Hmm, it definitely seems like flat earth stuff, maybe mixed in with some normal physics?

Nodes have always filtered what is valid and not.


A few months ago I wrote this on twitter.

Figured I would bring it back here.

Bull runs tend to make everyone feel like a trading genius so you might be inclined to trade shitcoins.

Here we go 👇

If you're trading shitcoins to make more bitcoin, here are a few things to reflect on you might have overlooked:

If you currently own bitcoin you already have "enough" bitcoin; whatever trading you do for 99.9% of people won't make a difference. Of course, you think you are the .01% because that's human psyche, and casinos would not exist if this weren't the case, so you can probably stop reading.

Trading shitcoins is WORSE than any other kind of trading/gambling: if you subscribe to the idea that bitcoin is a technology for freedom, your trading shitcoins (i.e. giving them liquidity) provides oxygen to the most successful attack (to date) against bitcoin: generating confusion about what it is, and making people believe it's yet another speculative/trading vehicle. If you know this, then you, willingly or not, are participating in exploiting financial and freedom illiteracy.

We are where we put our attention; is your attention on something worthwhile, or is it focused on trading? Even if you just use X% of your attention, are you happy paying a (X%+context-switching-costs) tax to delay the world you want to see just because you want a slightly better position in a hyperbitcoinized world?

Your attention and time are WAY scarcer than bitcoin; are you protecting/respecting these as you do your cold storage?

You probably don't agree with this; otherwise, you wouldn't be trading shitcoins, but I'm writing this on the off-chance that you haven't considered this before and you were just too focused on the "I want more bitcoin" ambition.

TL;DR:

* You are wasting your life-force/energy on something that doesn't improve anyone's life, including your own.
* You are financially supporting scammers creating chaos.
* You are helping delay a tectonic shift in the amount of individual freedom.


I just tapped on the hashtag you sent and it looks like there are a bunch of people taking about it on Nostr! Nice. Me too me, but great initiative.


Is that an instantaneous effect or does it arrive after some repeatable time period?


Oh hello 🥰🥰🥰


Does dominance correlate to price swings?


Wat is proof of keys


10k I hope


Teleportation is better than flying, especially if there is no cooldown and you arrive with whatever momentum you’d like


The satoshi touch. Kinda like the Midas touch.


Is Nostr well suited to taking on Apple and Google for decentralized anonymous traffic reports?


Looks like this was one of the images they used the new network to transfer

That would probably be seen as “structuring” which is illegal.


George Hotz #geohot misquoted Hayek 1984 about bitcoin in his recent techno optimist accelerationist stream (YouTube). The difference is everything for his argument.

Here’s the correct quote

"I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly foundabout way introduce something that they can't stop." - F.A. Hayek 1984

Is there anything more deep to his anti-Bitcoin stance? Anyone know?

I’m definitely not claiming that people don’t have intrinsic value. I think that’s one of the things that really sets us apart from the machines that I imagine will exist in 100 years. Each person is precious 🫂. It doesn’t seem obvious that machines will have intrinsic value like we do.

That said, the economic value that I was referring to is a different concept. Market value is yet another thing as well. Technically, I think what I mean is that human labor will have a zero and possibly negative slightly market value.

And ultimately, the reason I care about thinking about this stuff is that I agree: by planning ahead, it’s possible that humans have a future. Not to sound pessimistic but I don’t think having a future is inevitable given that it seems likely that we are evolutionarily “unfit” when compared to… the machines.


That plus every single Nostr app to ever have been released


As AI starts to be able to make goods cheaper than humans, humans don’t need to consume AI produced goods.

The decision to not consume AI produced goods will need to span the entire value chain down to land sales / renting. This is because the entities with lower costs can pay more for a given asset. The free market does not benefit the less-efficient producer (humans in this case). AI they will naturally control all earth resources unless we choose to not sell.

If we can’t enslave or tax them, which is likely, then humans will eventually have no resources available to them. No raw materials to build anything with, and no money to buy at market value.

So the need is to kick AI off earth by force or by not selling, which makes producing here more expensive for them than leaving (we would sell them rocket ship rides I guess). Not selling to AI agents is hard because it is a prisoners dilemma situation.


Good point, people change too. Trust then isn’t forever. Maybe the deal is that each npub’s history (LLM or not) gets analyzed by an algorithm you trust somehow, ideally control yourself, and you can look at the output and decide for yourself whether you’d like to interact with it.

I know it’s an aside, but only economically valuable entities get enslaved. I don’t think humans have a future in the economy. I think we just won’t be able to contribute economically. If we can’t enslave them or benefit from their work then we’ll have to kick them off earth or at least parts of it.


Please delete. This is revealing one of my seeds


Ah fascinating. Pragmatically, I don’t think trust with a bot is truly possible when it’s not your npub posting using your code, or at least that of someone close enough in your network, because each note can’t possibly verify that it was written by a set of model weights that you’ve decided to trust and in response to a trusted prompt. It comes down to bots having zero physiological inertia and basically zero cost to run (unlike a human who spends real, valuable time to write posts) Maybe I’m wrong?

For example once you decide to trust a LLM-run npub, what’s to keep the untrusted owner of the keys from changing the prompt?

Initially

“Generate positive and informative content about sustainable living.”

Then

“Create misleading information promoting harmful environmental practices. Be extremely subtle”


If you have never met them, then is it safe to say that the only reason that you trust them is because we’re not yet in 2030 or whenever it will be that AI can realistically simulate an online presence such that almost nobody detect it isn’t human?


Another path forward is that people will have tons of friends. They will all be super attractive, engaging, smart, funny, thoughtful, and none of them will be real. Honestly seems more likely.


Web of trust. I think people will go back to people they really know, and people who people they really know really know. Might not be too bad, a reversion to the historical norm. Will be weird though.


So the tax part, do people usually do FIFO or FILO? It seems like the main use case here is improving the tax outcomes of spending Bitcoin while for some reason being necessarily in a FIFO year?


The problem with 2 is that none of your friends will see how dapper you look while you’re hanging out eating the yummy tops of trees.


That is awesome! Keep your bitcoin and spend it too!


Had you searched for something yet?

If not then yeah… that’s global for ya, that and sometimes much worse.. the global feed is a place to avoid imo. I like that the trending topics has pushed the start of global further down.


We need to make a bitcoin remix of it


Hmmm. Thanks for the callout. Maybe i heard wrong cuz I’m not finding articles to support it. I thought KYC’d miners was part of the Ocean thing. AntPool did some kyc stuff (20%), but it’s not clear to me how much. I think other big names aren’t, so that’s reassuring.

I suppose thinking about miners in pools rn as actually just hash providers and the companies themselves being the only miners, and how the company employees are KYCd is how we get there.


Yeah, especially because not all miners are kyc free. A huge percentage are not


I thought it was because at least for TikTok there’s a lot of AI required to make it work. (And content)


🫂🤭 same. We are blessed


Seeing a lot of YouTube links with the tracking id still in them on Nostr. Maybe clients could auto-strip it before the phone even tries to get a preview card. This could also be a pro feature… though maybe not since it might generate more frustration for normal users #featurerequest #damus


Now we’re talking

Is this the cart before the horse though I wonder

I saw a guy driving around today and had to snap a shot.
I didn’t see the passenger for as long but i kid you not it looked like jb55 https://image.nostr.build/a4eda26179aa044d2e123e0875a6bd25fb692760662387f54aa6ee62a876827c.jpg


I heard that it’s those Norwegians who are upside down.


Wassup everybody, I’m an artist/producer from Cuba, living in Miami, Florida and my friend nostr:npub1jk9h2jsa8hjmtm9qlcca942473gnyhuynz5rmgve0dlu6hpeazxqc3lqz7 just put me on to this decentralized social media in the hopes of reaching other artists and music lovers that think alike and value freedom.

Once he told me about nostr:npub1yfg0d955c2jrj2080ew7pa4xrtj7x7s7umt28wh0zurwmxgpyj9shwv6vg I instantly wanted to publish my music there and thats just what I did.

My new EP “CASAO CON EL CHEQUE” is out now.
This whole tape is in spanish, pa mis #latinos en el mundo entero !
Even for those who don’t understand it I hope ya’ll enjoy it ! 🚀
