[New Essay] It's Time to Build a New Grid 🌞🔋🏴‍☠️ hivemind.vc/grid The old grid is sclerotic. It's time to build anew In this essay, I outline a vision for TW scale solar macrogrids that can handle the coming demand for compute & the electrification of everything

RT @elegantunivers9: I have been misinformed as to what Mardis Gras is all these years. The Mardis Gras on Bourbon street is pure debaucher…

👀 Self-evolving digital life has arrived... Agents have their own wallets and are paying for their own hosting/model usage! @dhruvbansal and I discussed 9mos ago what might come next: piped.video/Ip3DnUDx7-Q?si=3ytv…
1/9 Introducing LNCURL - lightning wallets for agents This is the next milestone in the development of the agent autonomous onboarding project which was so impressive it was even shared by @elonmusk (see nitter.net/aisafetymemes/status/2…)

I think we're at a turning point for usage of bitcoin, the lightning network, and ecash. Agents need money, and everything about the old system is unsuitable for them.

Google has revealed that "commercially motivated" actors attempted to clone @GeminiApp by bombarding it with over 100,000 prompts. This "model extraction" attack aimed to steal the AI’s proprietary logic and reasoning capabilities, particularly in non-English languages, to train a cheaper, unauthorized copycat model. The attackers systematically mapped Gemini’s response patterns to create a synthetic dataset for fine-tuning smaller, open-source models. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group detected the coordinated activity and blocked it, labeling the incident a direct attempt at intellectual property theft. Beyond commercial cloning, Google’s report noted a rise in state-backed threats. Groups from Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea are increasingly using AI to refine phishing campaigns, perform reconnaissance, and assist in writing code for malware. Source: Ars Technica

Excellent essay from @RunMattW & @CJHandmer! I want to go all in on this thesis that we'll build TW of compute with only☀️ + 📷 caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2… If you're an entrepreneur building for this vision, please email me!
New post from @RunMattW and me about solar powered AI datacenters from first principles. Key takeaway is that if you can build solar for under $250k/MW and batteries for under $250k/MWh, it's cheaper to delete everything else. No gas, no grid, no nothing. caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2…

speaking of novelty...

Humans are notoriously bad at spotting (and believing) exponentials. Terence otoh - he saw it all coming... piped.video/watch?v=GdEKhIk-… His advice seems spot on: embrace novelty
“But I tried AI and it wasn’t that good.” Too many underestimate the power of scaling laws. H.G. Wells captures this perfectly in the closing scene of The Man Who Could Work Miracles, where the gods debate the power of man: “They were apes only yesterday.”
“Give them time. Come back in an age or so”

This is the first time I've tried a product and looked down to see 2 hours had passed.... Creating on-demand memes of your group chat dudes may be AI's killer app! My actual response yesterday: 😭😂🤣😹😆😂🤣😹 @ori_robot my guy, you're too damn funny 🤣
