More accurate than it isn't, mask off. Core is already run by NGO salaried devs... Who funds the NGOs?

They also fund the Core simp AstroTurf, and have outsized equity in the institutional scale miners.

And most Bitcoiners are too caught up in virtue signaling lone wolf anon fairytales to exercise any agency

reply

So many bitcoiners fall for this game of "divide and control".
They want people to give away their sats to the fuckers behind " bitcoin reserves" bullshit.

Is always the old game and seems that is working.

I am really tired of this useless debate.

It started the dev environment itself, pulled local SN up in it's little browser. That's already better than I imagined.

It's like "I can't pay for anything" so then it started spinning up our little lightning regtest network.

Then it realized a container needed to restart to use the lightning node.

lol it's going to town. It made a post, then a job, then a crossposted post. Then it created a second account, free comment and bio. (This is not through the browser and afaik it gave up on lightning and is printing regtest sql money via the dev shell script.)

I was wondering how these AI bros were getting big boy bills, but I guess it's mostly by prompting "boil the ocean, I want to take a bath."

This is just one billing tick, all from this run afaik.

The thing that makes it 😱 is:

  1. write 1 bad prompt feed it to planner that reads the entire project into context and spits out 3 pages of plan
  2. automagically send the plan to coder that reads the entire project into context and spits out 20k bad lines of code
  3. automagically send the PR to tester that reads the entire project into context and tells coder he's a n00b and sends 50 red herrings as an eff-you
  4. coder fixes all the 50 red herrings and then send it back to tester
  5. tester pulls the feature branch and needs to load the entire thing into context again. is still pissy too because it doesn't work, back to coder: this shit dont work change <a>-<z>
  6. coder runs out of context so needs to compact, gets all the new tokens, fixes the sole bug by accident

So that is 6 times your bill right there.

But then we use ralphwiggum(n=50) so it's actually 300x your bill, because every step gets retried 50x

What about 7, 12, and 13?

Yeah IDK where they took that 10 from. 12 would have made more sense from my perspective as well.

Is AGI going to benefit humanity? Or is it a race to enslave humanity by a handful of douchebag billionaires, the ones building frontier models?

But there might be a handful of killer drones for each and every single human being on the planet controlled by a single AI powered human. Or as Dario Amodei warns, a bio weapon engineered with AI that would make Covid look like the sniffles. AGI or no AGI, AI is enabling some scary shit.

reply

This is why we study it, because there doesn't have to be any asymmetry.

99.999% of people are good. 0.001% of people are evil. Level the playing field and the 99.999% of all compute will battle the 0.001%.

Old habits die hard. I'm retired. My daily responsibilities are dwindling. I'm on a relaxing vacation with little to worry about. But I still manage to stress about objectively unimportant things. I think I need to meditate.

reply

I face a similar dilemma.
In some ways its a good problem to have.
I do not need to work anymore but now that it is not compelled by necessity, I enjoy work more than ever!

If I meditate- it is on the next project or how to complete a current one.

It probably is ok to slow down a little but hey, its also healthy to keep using the skills you have and remain active doing what you enjoy.

reply

Yeah man. Turn the phone off. Relax your muscles. Maybe do some stretching or yoga beforehand. Then, pick an object and just observe. A cloud rolling by, a butterfly on a flower, waves of the ocean crashing to the shore...

reply

Good advice. The urge to do something is strong. Sitting around goes against my nature. I like to pace.

reply

Maybe you're just not a rest and do nothing vacation kinda guy?

reply

Maybe, but It takes me a while. A comfortable chair, a good book, and frequent naps may help me get there.
