Long time Smithers fan, very excited to see the news of the new release this AM. Very excited about Smithers + Jev.
Smithers has been rewritten from the Ground up
It's no longer React. We are all-in on @EffectTS_
It's also UI first. Meaning these technical details aren't important. You can just use an intuitive simple UI without ever knowing or caring about the technical details
This thread is for nerds who do care about technical details. We cover every abstraction in Smithers from ground up🧵

I think It’s pretty simple wrt to ZCash- People are converging on the realization that BTC would be better if it was private.
The more people/transactions in shielded pools, the more private they become.
Project Tachyon addresses post quantum privacy and scalability.

Verifiable private inference + verifiable private cloud storage+ user-owned/local agents
This is the way forward

Very well said in just a few words
for zcash, privacy is often misunderstood as the end all be all
that certainly serves a clear market segment and is incredibly important
but I posit the more significant part of privacy is its role in enabling a better monetary asset
privacy enables choice, but more importantly it enables the safe haven and fungibility required for a true internet-native SoV
internet-money by default has historical information attached to it which means that one coin may not actually be fungible for another coin (i.e if the Canadian government determines your coins came from those supporting the truckers, they can come after you for years into the future)
i.e the money you receive shouldn't come with the baggage of those who held it before you
cash does not have this problem and is devoid of all information which enables true fungibility and higher liquidity in the limit, and so too must internet-native money have this property
even with gold and other offshore holdings, there's a reason people (used to) put them in Switzerland to take advantage of bank secrecy
but with Zcash, we now scale this to the entire planet. that's the point of tech: scale
now, all you need is an internet connection and a cryptographic keypair to get all these benefits that were only available to a select few
so, even if you're someone who doesn't need the privacy aspect of zcash, it's still foundational for enabling a better monetary asset along with quantum proofing and performance upgrades

OpenAI quietly “paused” pro account signups and paid weekly resets a few days ago
Can no longer upgrade prolite accounts to pro anymore either- instead they direct you to buy credits

The perfect timing and sequence of events this week has been extremely sus:
1) Harry Doomer unknown random guy algo boosted post to 120M+ views
2) Dem politicians same day fearmongering about AI everywhere
3) MSM picking it up an amplifying it
4) Nate Soares (MIRI) on Tucker
5) UK regulators signing letter to ban ASI
6) The Dario letter asking for Doomer NGOs to have soft power everywhere and asking for world government
We are watching a full-spectrum coordinated campaign to engineer a crisis, manufacture consent for the response, and turn engineered public fear into regulatory capture, indelible institutional power, and unprecedented government control over the future of the most important technology since the dawn of man.
Whether we cave to this engineered pressure and give up our freedoms will determine our collective fate, and whether we live in centrally controlled restrictive future, or remain a free civilization.
We must choose wisely.

Can’t tell if this is really cool or just very advanced ai psychosis
This vial contains a new drug called PAC-3310. It was designed by ChatGPT, and I synthesized it in a chemistry lab I built in my garage.
PAC-3310 is a new selective M4 muscarinic receptor agonist for treating schizophrenia - similar to the recent breakthrough drug Cobenfry, but improved. (1/7)

ITT: people who understand that the frontier labs are just building their own versions of the Panopticon/Eye of Sauron.
>sam altman: "we tried this because there were rumor on the internet"
>rumor: math professor close to solving navier-stokes
>the professor: using codex for a year
>openai: has all his logs
>checked every codex session tagged to N-S
>found the most promising one
>spun up 10,000 agents to finish the proof where he couldn't
>they got caught
>told the guy if you say anything you'll destroy your own career
>he ruins his career over this
>openai: "we did not see his work"
>also openai: "we cannot rule out that de-identified data from their usage helped improve our models"
they stole it lmao
