Isn’t what you’re saying, here more geared, toward who do we penalize for a specific death? I guess what I’m thinking is that on an individual basis the morality of whether or not to drive doesn’t require knowing exactly who it is who dies as long as you know gwhat their death is like so that you can assess the morality of driving.


I’ve watched a few videos of Australian farm life and yeah. It’s wild out there.


Link didn’t work for me, but just curious what level of verifiable negative impact on other people’s lives driving a car could produce before one should stop driving, and what the gap between current claims and “verifiable” claims are.


Nice reference. Was a good book.


Am I completely off base here?


One thing that makes the think it’s satire is the whole epistemology around how he goes from seeing (really anything to making conclusions, but specifically) airships anchored to buildings to deciding that they are charging, and not only are they charging, but charging without paying any money for electricity. In the script he makes it sound like of course they are charging, but I think that’s just playing on how when normal folks plug stuff in it’s usually to charge. Also, check out the watt-hour per kg density of batteries of the day. It was not suitable for lighter than air travel. Still isn’t even though it’s improved immensely.

Taking a step back, why does he not just believe it’s just anchoring given how easily wind can blow airships around? Wind is still the number one problem preventing airship adoption. Otherwise they are fantastic modes of travel. Still not free of course.


😂😂😂
That’s some excellent satire.. at least it 80% sure it is, 20% think it might be serious lol.

Wow. What a render.


Chart please 😂


I totally get that. Yeah, for one not having access to the very best models will produce that frustration. Also experience leads to better prompts (to avoid past frustrations).

For now, there are some specific limitations, like being able to think about a specific large code base all at once. But there are paths to overcoming that, some of which are live if difficult to use at the moment, like vector embedding databases that really start to overcome that. Another path would be automating the creation of these councils/swarms of AI agents allowing you to spin your an entire corporation of LLM individuals in seconds.

But yeah basically every day I write at least one prompt which gets me exactly the kind of “previously had to be in the hands of humans” result. I don’t know if we really need another 100x in capability or just more mature infrastructure to use what we have. Blows my mind. And also convinces me that humans are on our way out of the economy unless we stop playing with this new kind of fire. 😬


Precisely. The ordinal can be on a single sat I think


“1.7 billion users in June”
Haha wow. That’s so crazy


Totally agree on the thought that lots of people will never question what it says.. even though it’s right in front of their face that by changing their prompt up they can get it to answer in contradicting ways.

People too are not faultless though right?

One thing you said caught my attention, maybe I’m making something of nothing but when you say “sourcing scripts” it makes me want to emphasize that I have it write on a nearly daily basis scripts that I’m quite sure don’t exist anywhere on the internet.

It *understands* in some non-conscious war, because understanding is a better way to score well during training than memorizing.

I’m a heavy LLM user, my perception is that the state of the art models as of today make mistakes less frequently than nearly all the humans I interact with both professionally and socially. But even better is the fact that it’s always available and responds instantly. That takes communication cycles which previously would have been between me and a human down by 10-1000x, for pennies. So much better.

On the mistakes topic, not sure if you’ve tried this before, but ask it to put on a new persona and critique what the other LLM persona said and it can form a council of unique individuals critiquing the ideas and working to find the best answer with whatever method you like.

Wow, an English tax is provocative… should there similarly be a tax on bitcoiners to help to support poor BCH users to support fairness between monetary networks? Or an email tax to support people not using electronic mail yet?


Idk if I’m weird on this, but I rarely use LLMs as search engines. Their memorization of facts is too iffy imo. Prefer duck duck go for fact finding. I do use LLMs a ton in lieu of talking to experts about something I’m thinking about, or asking them to write code or other text for me. If it’s a questionable topic or answer I’ll ask it to critique itself as a new personality. It’s already much rarer than before, but I would be unsurprised if I stop needing to hire humans to benefit from their expertise within a few years. Regulated industries will be the hold out.

Are you saying that the openAI API costs don’t actually cover the full price of each run of the model? Or what do you mean by subsidized?


Is there any job you’d trust chatGPT4 to do for you right now?

I think I’d trust it to read my email and archive stuff I don’t care about


Did they accept bitcoin :)


Super interesting. My first reaction is to kinda roll my eyes.. LLMs are a sort of individual in my mind. A weird one yes, but they are doing essentially what people do so why pay for it in a way that’s different than what we do.

I did see though a talking head come up with the idea that AI will keep earth as a sort of ground truth training data for a long time. So maybe we will in fact get paid for what we produce?

Seems sorta like wishful thinking though.

But they only go to zero if there is competitive pressure against them by the AGI swarm. Otherwise they might just continue to operate at increasing levels of productivity, while being dwarfed in accomplishments by the entirely separate AGI economy. Temporarily the AGI economy might increase their value.


1. Is it primarily the stealing or the giving for nothing in exchange?

2. There is some non-linearity in how well society is, that may make it better off depending on how it’s measured. Going from .0010 to .0011 BTC is a lot more impactful on quality of life than from 10.0010 to 10.0011.


I would argue that since humans own and run current companies, and if we can’t control AI, then all the companies your retirement is currently invested in are going to zero.


Hmm… the S&P500 has historically been a decent investment.

Yeah so this is the question. One thing I think about all the time is that the ranks of both sides are filled with young men who have done equal moral work in deciding whether to fight, which is to say, not very much.

Continuous internet monitoring is crucial for activists and journalists to maintain their freedom of expression, access to information, and safety. Strong internet is also important for financial freedom.

HRF is funding developer Lorban for his work on StratumV2. Stratum V2 enables mining pool users to select transactions for proposed blocks, instead of relying on templates from pools, increasing Bitcoin’s censorship resistance. ⛏

John Carlson's efforts to improve the Bitcoin Core App project is also receiving support. Through this work, he hopes to lower technical barriers and make Bitcoin transactions more accessible to a wider audience, starting with users on Android devices.

Area Bitcoin, founded by Carol Souza and Kaka Furlan, is expanding its Brazilian educational content across Latin America. The HRF funding will enable translations of their resources into Spanish and English. 📚🌎

🇳🇮In Nicaragua, Berta Valle is focusing on Bitcoin education for human rights defenders in Latin America. Her project will empower dissidents and civil society leaders with Bitcoin to help them become financially resilient against oppressive regimes.

Bitshala in India is creating a hub of Bitcoin knowledge and community. With HRF's support, they'll provide tutorials, technical training, and resources for budding Bitcoin developers in the country. 🇮🇳🌱💡

HRF is supporting hack.bs in Italy. With the grant, hack.bs is establishing a cypherpunk hackerspace that will bring together locals and global experts in the areas of financial freedom and the defense of privacy. 🇮🇹🛡

Bitcoin Deepa is nurturing the Bitcoin community in Sri Lanka. HRF funding will enhance their educational efforts and promote Bitcoin adoption among local merchants. 🇱🇰💼

🌍Exonumia translates Bitcoin educational content into African languages like Shona, Malagasy, Amharic, Kiswahili, and Lingala. Funding will support their efforts to expand to more languages, raise awareness of Bitcoin, and grow financial-freedom oriented communities.

HRF is supporting L0la L33tz’s efforts to create a Bitcoin privacy guide for beginners, with a special focus on activists, dissidents, and NGOs in hostile environments. We look forward to publishing and sharing this document in 2024. 🌐🛡

HRF is awarding a grant to Groundswell in the UK. Groundswell supports Bitcoin education for refugees and diaspora communities, particularly from the Middle East. The project will host workshops, practical training, and help refugees (plus their families) receive their first Bitcoin. 🇬🇧🌍

⛏HRF is supporting Kulpreet Singh's work on Braidpool, a proposed peer-to-peer mining pool. By allowing miners to build their blocks and reducing pool operators’ grip on payouts, Braidpool is designed to enhance Bitcoin’s censorship resistance and decentralized nature.

HRF is proud to support SeedSigner developer Keith Mukai. Funds will facilitate MicroPython research and development to enable operations on affordable microcontrollers. This will eliminate Raspberry Pi dependencies, making SeedSigner more robust and accessible. 🔐

Bitcoin++, a developer-focused conference series around the world. Funding will cover educational efforts, general conference expenses, as well as travel expenses for developers from authoritarian countries.

Bitcoin Atlantis, a conference in Madeira. HRF funding will help human rights defenders, civil society leaders, and educators working in dictatorships to attend the event to share their experiences with thousands of Bitcoin builders, creators, and educators. 🇵🇹🌊

With these grants, HRF continues to push the boundaries of financial freedom, privacy, and human rights through Bitcoin. Stay tuned for more updates on these exciting initiatives. We’re looking forward to greater innovation in 2024! 🚀🔐

Why are force closures happening so much right now?


If that’s the only one that you have messed around with and maybe that could be part of the overpromising vibe you’ve gotten. Llama2-7B is quite a bit less capable than the full llama2 model. And that model is quite a bit less capable than ChatGPT4. Token generation on your embassy is probably a lot slower than what I’m used to using open AI servers.. though self hosted is awesome. I want to get some hardware to do that myself someday.


What model(s) are you using?

I don’t know if it’s important but it seems like it’s important to stress that it’s not a search engine at all. Maybe there are times when they are useful as a search engine, but mostly it’s a thinking engine.

And when i use it as a search engine, I think of it as almost the opposite of robust - I think it behaves more like one person‘s opinion, rather than a summary of what humanity is saying about a topic.

Totally agree that the future is speculation, but also projecting that past trends in capability improvements will continue (especially as it gets exponentially more funding and attention) doesn’t seem too crazy.

One thing search engines can’t do is think with you about something that’s never been asked before. These can.


That may be true, but if you compare text generation from today to 4 years ago, it’s exponentially better today. Self driving isn’t really like that, and even it has improved a lot in the last 10


Well, maybe I misunderstand what you're saying 🫂

"They are very robust search engines, nothing more."

"[...] There is nothing impressive with any of these. Clippy 2.0 at best."

Explaining why "I’d argue people are the same in the ways that matter for short term economic productivity" is relevant:

When I read the above quotes, to me it seems like you're saying that AI is unlikely to have much more effect on maybe the economy and wages than clipboard managers like clippy.

But I'm point out that many people are currently mostly getting paid for doing exactly what you say this is limited to: "finding, analyzing, and relaying relevant information" And if we can get it to do that for robotic movement planning then again many more people are getting paid for something this machine is doing. Machines are likely to get better, and outcompete people.

If that's true then it's not "nothing more". 🫂


I’d argue people are the same in the ways that matter for short term economic productivity

What - if it were true - would change your mind?


I think you offer more than the data you have access to. But most of your employability likely comes directly from the data you have access to. That’s why people who are considering hiring you want you to have relevant experience instead of 5 years of work as a Hunter gatherer.

Technically (and maybe relevantly) LLMs don’t actually have a search step. They just read some text and then continue it in ways that are reinforced by its training. So they aren’t searching and copying and pasting. They are studying humanity, and providing you a mirror of it according to your prompt. Feel free to ask for the average mirror, or the genius mirror, and put it to work.

Today they make surprising mistakes, but there doesn’t seem to be a reason to think that they always will. I mean even today if you have it do some self-criticism on what it’s beginning to think it often corrects mistakes. And that’s without a vastly smarter model. Seems like vastly smarter models are possible and coming.

When computers are able to do entire jobs better than humans, those humans will respond by retraining into jobs that they can’t be replaced in.

This will continue until humans are only doing those jobs that machines can’t do. These may mostly be providing for the emotional needs of others.

The problem is that labor supply will 20-100x while demand is dropping by a similar amount.

Human earnings are going to zero.

Custodial*
The difference is kinda crucial 😂😅


Yeah I’ve finally been reading about Liquid. Early on still, but my initial, likely to be inaccurate impression is it just custody with more steps?


Few


I agree with you about the end part,  it is say that there doesn’t appear to be evidence of that in how we think.

One reason to say that is that neural networks / LLMs are not hard coded. They are independent entities being encouraged to create words or other stuff like humans do. Give it a year or two and maybe they will do that better than 99% of all humans. But it doesn’t seem to be a quantum leap or anything from here to there. Encouraging them to engage in “independent thought”, or at least processes that looks like independent thought is only a prompt away. Better to not use the corporate woke stuff for that though. That process takes out some soul.


I think I disagree. Search engines are much better for search engine things unless you want semantic search, and then vector embeddings are still much better than LLMs


Propose not brother*


Why do you brother you’re different? It seems like the hypothesis that humans are mostly running a more efficient algorithm on more efficient hardware is getting really hard to disagree with at this point.

They will definitely replace the need for actual real manpower for enforcing the will of governing bodies.

From the looks of things though humans will be the subservient / soon-to-be-forgotten species on earth before that happens. To me it seems like we are much closer to post-human thought dominance than post-human law enforcement.


I also think mentality ill people will get shot less, and suicide by cop will go down because it being a robot avoids the escalation that a human police officer showing up inherently creates

What are the recommendations for when people actually do lack the capability to come up with a higher certainty answer?

Maybe that’s 99% of humanity for a given question, maybe it’s 30%. I’d argue it’s not less than 20% for many questions of interest though. And I’d also argue that people vastly overestimate their capability to do this even usually when accounting for this rule.

What then?


Do you think a genuinely superior version of Bitcoin would overtake it though? Let’s it would be a coin with a faster-increasing purchasing power over time (less deflation) while also being easier to keep censorship free, etc? (Of course I’m kinda invoking magic to achieve all that)


Ok ok easy self

“To be able to calculate how much exactly is lost to digital piracy, this study took into account a minimum replacement rate of 14% and a maximum rate of 34%. This calculation was derived on the assumption that 66% to 86% of digital piracy doesn’t actually replace paid consumption.”

Wonder how they came to those figures


Interesting that they seem to assume all pirated content would have been sales of not for the piracy when compiling the what does it cost us figures.

Interesting as in seemly dead wrong.

Yeah and I think unlike gold back in the day there are records that could be turned up for 99.9% of people’s bitcoin purchases. That’s why the political side of bitcoin is so important.


Not to say it wouldn’t hamper criminal activity though. To say “closing it down” is basically double-speak though.


Similar to how “closing down” gun access for criminals is impossible, “closing down” crypto access for criminals is impossible.

However they can close down access for law abiding people.


Responsibility is a part of it, but I think I disagree.

Nice example. Plus the whole Elon thing. I guess we’d need to support the idea that those who leech off government handouts overwhelm those who produce. I could see that.


How does the cost to protect their assets etc. overtake their productivity as they move from the 98.5th to the 99.5th?

If that same productivity were spread out over 3 people, why would those 3 not be more expensive to service than the single person?

I agree. Though haven’t seen any accusations that dna sequences were lost


“Get all the facts” :(


🫂 I haven’t introduced myself it seems :) I don’t think it should be anything like the west. That’s why I am a proponent of a 0 state solution.

Of course the world doesn’t have to operate under what I happen to think is the ideally moral system. Democracy btw is not my ideal system either.

Democracy is just better in my view what I fear Hamas is doing - a sort of secret governing body that is not accountable to its people, can’t be unseated by them without violence, and doesn’t let them live there without being under their rule and paying tribute to them.

But if the question is “which side do I think should be go away first”, which is how I think of the question here, then sure my ideology is important.


Yeah so let’s say that all my moral problems with a Hamas are proven false, new more valid ones don’t appear, and that a similar review of Israel doesn’t exonerate Israel, then that would shift things for me dramatically.

My intention with my opinion is to be true, with no preference for the typical goal of it staying the same as it has been.

Clarifying, dor me right now it’s mostly a question of do I think its best for the area to stop being be under the kind of Israeli government control it’s under after or before Hamas is defeated.


I forgot one, afaik they are no longer a democratic group which further weakens their case as being a rightful governing body.


“23andMe is standing by that number but is also now telling reporters that the hackers were able to access some 5.5 million profiles that use a company feature called DNA Relatives that allows users to find genetic relatives. In addition, the hackers accessed a subset of family tree information on 1.4 million DNA Relatives profiles, the 23andMe spokesperson said in an emailed statement.”

Looks like no DNA sequences leaked. I actually don’t even think they have sequences on file, do they?


Here are things I currently believe about Hamas that I also see as negative.

Until recently their stated organizational goal included killing all Jews everywhere.

They may be using unwilling civilians as shields.

They killed children intentionally during the Oct 7 events.

They killed non-combatant men and women intentionally during the same.

They may be restricting people from fleeing from Gaza.

Their stated strategy is to cause Israel to kill civilians (who have seemingly not consented meaningfully to be so sacrificed) in order to rally support against Israel.

For sure maybe these are not true.

Is someone an evil terrible person if they think it’s actually the opposite side of the conflict doing that, not the one you think?


But I don’t actually think that’s what he’s talking about. Is it?


Yes


It sounds like a good idea, but I think once you get into the details it’s just the same thing with more steps, except worse.

Specific transactions existing on chain  is what happens when a wallet signs a transaction, and that message is broadcast with enough fee to get incorporated.

If you can hack the wallet, you can make the super secret and secure thing do the thing. What did we just do then.. we separated a successful hack (or leak) of the wallet from the action by a set amount of time? We presumably have hardware control of the super secret and secure thing, so there’s no reason we need bitcoin’s time chain to accomplish this - we can use local hardware.

Further, dismissing new technology is actually a vital part of not wasting resources.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t spend a few minutes realizing the above, but I don’t see any hint of power-monopolizing potential of some Bitcoin controlled logic that would create some huge first mover advantage. If nothing is at stake from ignoring it, then we absolutely should ignore it to focus on stuff with stakes.

Saying we can’t just dismiss tech (and thereby invoking AI take off, nukes, the machine gun, drones, etc. in the minds of the listeners - which are all technologies which were actually power monopolizing) isn’t enough in of an argument in this case, making it as far as I can tell an initially exciting but actually disappointing distraction.


“You can know in 5 seconds whether the person you’re talking to is a terrible person or not” - made me laugh. Didn’t watch for long enough to figure out which side of what conflict this guy is on.

The people who got the new units have the same problem, but they have more units. And because they have absorbed the loss from those who didn’t get the new stuff, their total buying power also went up (not just money unit count)


The ratio of money units to goods / services changes in favor of the people who get the new units. The result after it stabilizes is that people who didn’t get the new units can’t buy as much as they used to be able to buy with the same amount of money.

It’s $10 that went from your account to a specific place. And depending on what they know about that place that can give trackers information about you that you don’t want them to have - including information that is untrue or you didn’t know but may be assumed to know (or at least not assumed to not know)

“Receiver
Senders may jeopardize their privacy when sending payments if they’re not careful, but receivers are even more exposed. It all begins with the invoice, which has the receiver’s public key embedded in it. Everyone with access to an invoice can easily discover the associated node.” - and keep in mind that Strike has the invoice you used to send the money

https://voltage.cloud/blog/lightning-network-faq/lightning-network-privacy-explainer/


Would it be? I don’t think they are assuming the destination is always you. Just because the recipient isn’t always you doesn’t mean the KYC is broken. At least if “breaking the KYC” means zeroing out the useful data they are getting about you.

They may be able to figure out things about you based on where it’s going, the amount, the timing, the frequency, etc if they have figured out something about the destination. You may be investigated because of your military relationship with that person.

It’s the same reason chainanalysis thinks they have a good product even though one hop technically breaks their KYC too: because one hop is more than zero data, and put a few of those together (or many) and you start to have significant insight into what is happening (or at least so they will claim)


Yeah because strike sent it they can associate the destination with the sender identity

For this to happen Apple needs to know your new npub or nsec somehow.

Since npub/nsec are generated by the app and hopefully with some randomness, Apple won’t know what they are unless you tell them, or unless they are monitoring your activity and all of nostr well enough to piece together their concept of you + the nostr concept of you (your nsec/npub).

One of the themes in Leviathan Wakes by James S. A, Corey is the conflict between candid communication and carefully massaged communication at scale. Which do you think is right when emotions are on the line. Does it change when lives are on the line? I would like to say that more candid communication is better, but I can definitely see an argument for that not being the case. The status quo on social media is generally un-massaged.

Oh yeah no that was learning for me. 🫂


Interesting. From the FAQ

“Why are there empty blocks?
When a new block is found, mining pools send miners a block template with no transactions so they can start searching for the next block as soon as possible. They send a block template full of transactions right afterward, but a full block template is a bigger data transfer and takes slightly longer to reach miners.

In this intervening time, which is usually no more than 1-2 seconds, miners sometimes get lucky and find a new block using the empty block template.”

I love that you put the children first before land. I see it the same. If I lived there on either side of the border - I hope I would leave. It’s one thing to want to fight for what one sees as their property (to represent that view and not the crazier views popping up on each side), but it’s a different thing to sign one’s children up for it.

Of course I don’t think leaving Gaza is as simple done as said.

Yep, Nostr.build would do it. Pay as you go I think will work. Also you don’t need to host with a Nostr-specific place like Nostr.build.


The absolute best mitigation is fully open source firmware, reviewed by many, not new, image built from the GitHub by the user and installed themselves on hardware that nobody would be able to economically backdoor. Seedsigner is on its way to doing that. Coldcard is next best.

Yeah there is a reason we see no snow buildup on the roof 😄


True. Though, the article relies surprisingly (to me) heavily on them manually recreating your brain structure. If that’s the way it turns out, it’s not all bad.

Knowing your brain structure is a prerequisite for both accessing the funds (knowing structure + decoding structure) and for reconstructing you (knowing structure + actually rebuilding structure). It’s not a total loss to be able to for sure give them a huge bounty in figuring out how to map the structure. They may find it easier to map then recreate then ask than map then decode. Kinda doubt that though.

The worst would be them being able to map and decode but not reconstruct any time soon. That could be a huge motivation to saw you apart and not reconstruct you.


This slide highlights a misunderstanding that a lot of people have with LLMs. We aren’t used to interacting with entities that know as much as it does about the world, and simultaneously as little as it does about you specifically.

More context = less dependence on what the training group thinks the AI should be like, more on what you are looking for.

Oh I’ve never pressed that watch on YouTube button since I figure it would defeat the purpose. Maybe I’m wrong about that.

Yeah, weird. I guess the difference between on or off tor is that the invidious instance knows who I am as opposed to nobody knowing? Still with no ads and much less addictive ui I’m getting a lot of the benefit.

Wish the creators had zaps set up already so I could support them to mitigate the guilt of skipping the ad😅


Btw invidious works fine for me outside of tor


iOS and the tor browser app? Something else?


Yeah the page loads fine, has .onion in it, but the video player loads for a moment and then fails with that error


This is why I think the concept of seedsigner is cool. Because you actually use the backup each time.

Of course, maybe that wouldn’t really work for her like I’m imagining haha. You know her best.


What if you recorded a video of yourself, explaining the contents of bitcoin blocks? You could pretend that it’s a little project you’re working on and just ask her for her advice on making it understandable. You could make sure to emphasize the permanence of being on the bitcoin blockchain in the video. About the immense effort miners put into blocks. About how each confirmation makes it more permanent. How Bitcoin will be around for a long time. Etc. how some people have put things they find most meaningful in these messages. At the end of the video you could give her a link to a specific block to look at and test her new skills at finding the messages. Have it be the block your message is in 🥹

I’m not taking a side here, just hoping to understand how you decided on yours as opposed to some that equally intelligent and dedicated folks seem to choose instead.

So far it sounds like you’d say that there is this moral principle of doing no harm which you see as fundamental, and this is the main reason you believe in objectivism?

So with that, how do you balance the harm done to future sentient beings with those of today? If you must harm, how do you balance harm done to people afar vs close by?

Generally speaking, how did you come to decide that you understand objective morality and others who disagree are wrong as opposed to the other way around (epistemology)?

🫂


Maybe it’s my Nostr app not showing everything here, but where did you use the word culture? Want to make sure I don’t miss parts as I’m reading through your messages again 🫂


That would be individual relativism not cultural relativism.

How do you know your moral objectivism isn’t just cultural relativism?


Philosophers debate, whether moral truth is objective, relative to a society, or relative to an individual (cultural relativism, individual relativism)

Each of those 3 possibilities contain their own problems. Why would you say that objectivism is superior to group-relativism?


Relativism vs Objectivism ready… fight!

The police assert control over your body. And when they have to, they will put your life at major risk in the service of them doing so with the least possible risk to themselves.

It sounds dystopian, but is the status quo better?

He could not believe that ordinary people in the Culture really wanted the war, no matter how they had voted. They had their communist Utopia. They were soft and pampered and indulged, and the Contact section's evangelical materialism provided their conscience-salving good works. What more could they want? The war had to be the Mind's idea; it was part of their clinical drive to clean up the galaxy, make it run on nice, efficient lines, without waste, injustice or suffering. The fools in the Culture couldn't see that one day the Minds would start thinking how wasteful and inefficient the humans in the Culture themselves were.

Yeah that’s true. Some civilian deaths may be part of mitigating the incentive to do what Hamas has done - using a population as a human shield.

Here are a few groups of civilians: people who vote indicating support of the actions of the military you’re fighting, people who just pay taxes, people who express online support of the military actions, people who spend half their day building weapons for sending to the front line, people who volunteer to drive those weapons to the front line, people who move into the settlements that are encroaching on your land.

Other thoughts…

Sometimes people talk as though society has an interest apart from those of its constituents. But I think we are assuming that “society not surviving” means the people in question are subjugated to some power that they would have been willing to fight against if they had been able to coordinate well enough - and in that context conscription is justified because it solves that human coordination problem.

Yeah I’d like to see a culture of people that don’t need or use it. Maybe we don’t these days with good neighbors..  it is nerve wracking to consider trying though. Freedom tech may help with lowering the benefit to a victorious invader.. maybe..

Let’s hope not. I mean i think there’s a continuum, and their families (thinking of the kids) would be below the level of coerced taxpayers even. The kids don’t even know what’s going on. The whole reason Hamas and Israel are both losing in public opinion is because of those poor kids they both have killed and maimed for life. Let’s not do that.


More likely than what?


I should also clarify that I do condemn Hamas. If one squints to unsee the particulars of recent news, it could be seen differently, but the full picture strips any credibility gained between people forgetting that their mission has been to kill all global Jews and recognizing what Israel has done to Palestinians - which is its own evil.

Anyway, I just realized that some people were acting as if there is an easily agreed to ethical line here for all cases which is never gray, but of course there is gray. That’s interesting to me.


One thought is that the answer is never - but then by the same logic it’s hard to say that rear lines military folk who for example were pressed into service are ever ethical targets either.


Not sure what you mean 🫂

This quote from Consider Phlebus made me think of LLMs and the future of them being able to mimic us. Would you want to talk to an LLM that pretended to be a deceased relative? What if it was indistinguishable? Would you follow all LLMs on Nostr in such a scenario?

…[Changers] were a threat to identity, a challenge to the individualism even of those they were never likely to impersonate. It had nothing to do with souls or physical or spiritual possession; it was, as the Idirans well understood, the behavouristic copying of another which revolted. Individuality, the thing which most humans held more precious than anything else about themselves, was somehow cheapened by the ease with which a Changer could ignore it as a limitation and use it as a disguise.

Nature, nurture, and personal virtue I think. We lucked out on the first two.

The first time I heard about bitcoin (way too many years after the white paper) I latched onto it immediately. Good on us for figuring it out.

That said, I’d argue it was luck that it was that year and not 5 from now. And I think it’s worth recognizing that as we demonetize everyone else’s savings.


But why were we right. Why did we understand

I mean under the AI assumption, the AI is the proletariat, the wage earning class. Assuming we find a way to control it, we’re the aristocracy.


Is it more money? Isn’t it the same money but now allocated by the poor instead of the rich?

I think we probably have two options: UBI or kill AI


“Horza recalled that the Culture's attitude to somebody who believed in an omnipotent God was to pity them, and to take no more notice of the substance of their faith than one would take of the ramblings of somebody claiming to be Emperor of the Universe. The nature of the belief wasn't totally irrelevant - along with the person's background and upbringing, it might tell you something about what had gone wrong with them - but you didn't take their views _seriously_.”

I bet that does explain some of religion. And seeing chance occurrences and thinking it was causal. Like all the people who swear it was x or y event that gave their kid <insert disease here> “

It’s really interesting stuff. My thoughts are evolving. But it does seem like the Gods imagined by some religions must be evil according to our understanding at least.


Known as the problem of evil. Lots has been written about it.


Oh… reading the thread finally. I’m torn lol. It’s kinda hilarious. But also.. I think society needs people to do what they say. Anyway, Gary I’m zapping your profile the 10k

“So like there’s a very real connection in process of that, like my country created armaments and weapons of death they somehow circulate around the globe and found them have cells in the hands of Palestinians, who are now using that to commit death and destruction around the world and my frank truth is I want nothing to do with that I actually like radically want nothing to do with that I’m going to do everything in my power to separate myself from that and I mean that’s what bitcoin represents is now when my government says hey we’re going to send you know $20 billion to Ukraine. We’re gonna send $6 billion to Iran or you know or wherever they’re sending money I actually have a way to say you don’t want I’m not down for this anymore. I’m gonna put my money in bitcoin. I know you guys will call me criminal and do whatever you want to me but that to me this is ethical and like if you guys are really just building roads and like doing good social programs absolutely I would be willing to come to the table but you’re not here using it for military weapons of war that is lying to destroy people and animals even more important is today like it’s launchers like normalize weapons that like bang bang your dead like we have made weapons of mass destruction and bio chemical weapons that are designed to kill everyone equally like this is a crisis for all of humanity that up until 1945. We hadn’t ever been able to experience as a people.” - Erik Cason


Haha. I want to know. Can’t decide between more or less.


He’s also not making an attempt at real conversation but implying they should be conversing with him. So maybe a less sarcastic title would be “man implies that people’s reaction to him shows wrongness when their reaction is actually totally reasonable.”

That said, I do agree that they are in the wrong when it comes to treatment of Palestinians.

It just seems to me like these present a weak straw man of the opposition.

But I agree. We need to have the conversations with people who support the bad stuff. Otherwise many actually do go around thinking like the people seem to in the video. Videos like this may even be an important part of the process.


We worry, but are we clear on our the definition of good retention? Newbies who make 4 npubs and stick with one of them are doing it better than newbies who make 1 and stick with it imo. We encourage people to carefully stick their nsec lots of places, but they will end up with a single favorite - which means the expected user behavior with 100% Nostr retention is for each place that’s watching to see new folks that leave. And that’s even in the case that 100% of real new users actually never leave.


I mean I advocate the #nostatesolution but still:

Alternate title could be Man tries to make people feel uncomfortable - is flabbergasted that people are uncomfortable.

I agree. Just wonder whether people focusing on it needing to be might miss the satisfaction for the as-yet unfilled consumption aspirations and feelings of deservedness.

Why do I care, what’s at stake: human lives, time with loved ones. Real people don’t do specific actions required to keep their bodies alive because of what can be reduced to problems of epistemology. They haven’t been able to figure out correctly what real world actions would keep them alive. This happens all the time, including people in my life. 🫂


> PoW is a more general idea than just bitcoin

Bitcoin would have allowed for reusable PoW, which is better than non-reusable PoW for all cases I have imagined so far, and reusable PoW is still just storing a password safely.

I actually think he’s wrong, PoW doesn’t help against DDOS attacks at all, because the first thing the API request does is authenticate itself. In a DDOS scenario where the destination machine is checking for PoW, there is nothing stopping the attacking machines from submitting nearly infinite requests with invalid hashes. The destination machine is forced to check each one - which causes it work, which means the DDOS is succeeding.

I could be wrong here, I’ve never actually had to build protection against DDOS, this is just my lay understanding.

> the US and USSR fielded more nukes than they could have possibly used

Are you accounting for their calculations on how many they might lose before mounting a response? I’d be very surprised if the budget for literally useless nukes was approved.


Why does it require a departure from associating cause and effect? This seems more dangerous than beneficial given the immense human and AI penchant for hallucination.


Hopefully I understood what you mean here.

The lessons of epistemology should be found when one is ready.

In hindsight, they are the foundation and not the cap on a journey of learning.

What can’t be proven one way or the other?

Some things are subjective. I’d say those probably can’t be proven at least not soon. Others are not subjective. Whether the DNA creates sound frequencies that match UV light is not subjective. Whether this or true is a question of experiment not of the soul. If experimental data suggests it’s true, then it might be. Absent that data, we don’t know. With that data, one true interpretation emerges.

Other kinds of questions like “what does it mean to my soul to be a grandparent of a deaf child” probably can’t be answered in a prove-able way. Those should be the subject of deep thought and discussion as they exist largely beyond the empirical realm.


I don’t know if you mean to defend his actions, but in case you do, why not write with a pseudonym then? Explain the procedure in full and let them figure it out.


Thank you for sharing. It does seem like you haven’t read about epistemology. I promise I don’t mean that in a condescending way, my experience has been that very few people have even heard the word before. I’m just trying to figure out whether my hypothesis is correct or not - that people on “this channel” are always folks who haven’t dealt with the issues that epistemology raises in their personal journey.

If true I’d highly recommend reading about it. Though it’s a bit… challenging. It took me quite a bit of deconstructing of my own previous ways of thinking. I’d love to see how what I understand of your epistemic approach changes or doesn’t through the process of reading about the historical evolution of epistemic approaches.

What do I know though.


Totally agree. This one was great. Endurance. #bookstr
