If there is any such thing as "Safe AI", "Dangerous AI" is most assuredly closed source, centralized, and censored.

Democrats: "AI will cause human extinction! We have to ban it!" Also Democrats: "Human extinction is good! We have to reward it!" Hmm 🤔

Claude one-shotted this. I'm absolutely blown away.

The single biggest difference between humans and AI agents is the amount of actions they execute on a computer per unit of time. AI agents can look and act just like humans, but execute 10,000X more actions per unit time. that's the tell. so the key to defending cyberspace from AI slop or AI attacks is to target ACTION, not IDENTITY. trying to detect AI is a fool's errand; targeting its BEHAVIOR is the key. So if you want to deter AI from accessing your website/system, simply make it expensive in computational tokens to ACT on your website. Make every command or button cost a token, and suddenly it's 10,000X more costly for AI to act than a human. You can't stop AI, but you can make it extraordinarily expensive to use it. We already know this intuitively, because everybody who has ever run openclaw or their own personal AI agents knows that the single biggest LIMFAC is compute tokens. your AI is only as good as your compute token wallet. but AI compute is constantly getting cheaper and better, and some countries have far better AI compute than others, creating a major imbalance of power. so the key to long term success is to create some kind of universal, non-sovereign, geopolitically neutral compute token network. that is, we need some kind of network that accounts for a bunch of transferable tokens that are computationally expensive to produce. that no amount of AI compute can produce more of. we need a proof-of-compute token network. and we need it to be fully decentralized so that no single person or polity can gain permanent or centralized control over it. we need this network to be globally dispersed. and we need to figure out a way to distribute those compute tokens in a way that's fair, that gives no single person or polity an advantage over the others. perhaps in some kind of first-come first-served basis, where the users who provide the computational power are given the tokens and free to spread them out however they want. if we had this compute token network, the final step to saving ourselves against AI is to simply adopt the habit of making every online action cost some fraction of a compute token, so that it's orders of magnitude more expensive for AI agents to operate online than humans. the first nation to discover this compute token network and use it to its defensive advantage against the threat of agentic AI will win the 21st century. BTW that compute token network is Bitcoin.

e/acc lifestyle: building a cluster in your basement and almost burning your house down running your own inference

Embroidery CEO @ZackKorman says the AI safety debate keeps jumping from today’s cyber failures straight to “machine god,” instead of proving we can secure everything in between: "The discussion typically stops when we get to, yeah, but Zack, imagine the model's even smarter. It's sort of like a four-year-old going, and then the god lasers out of its eyes." "If we give birth to a machine god that can commit any egregious act on the intellect alone, no one's gonna be around to make fun of me for being wrong. But prior to that point, if you wanna make that argument, you better prove you're good at the security stuff before it." "We're only talking about cybersecurity for the purposes of talking about how it doesn't work when we achieve machine god. All of the points prior to machine god will work." "If it was framed as, one group thinks there's a machine god and the solution is to make it nice, and another group thinks the solution is to secure things so it doesn't kill people in its pre-god state, people would be like, yeah, make sure it's secure."

A day in the life of an Effective Altruist.

Democrats are worried that AI-driven abundance is going to exterminate the fraudulent grifts from which they derive their power.

the mainstream media in the US only reports negative AI stories, did not even mention the anthropic enzyme finding good thing we are replacing then, we are the news now

Translation: you want to ban open source and lobotomize the proprietary models. No thanks.

i think infusing your taste into these models is what will make you stand out now and in the future 👀

too funny. reminds me of the gems mod in EverQuest for spellcasters to play while starring at the full screen spellbook waiting for their mana to regen.

To be clear: The media frenzy actively shaping the future of the most powerful technology on earth is much more coordinated than the public was led to believe. That’s the scoop. Hiring PR firms isn’t bad; founders do it all the time and happily admit it. But Coxon told the world that he was an organic voice of the people who works alone. And, THAT SAME DAY, he had a highly-resourced comms firm - that specializes in disseminating AI doomer rhetoric - booking his interviews.

Articulate some goal. Download your Twitter archive. Ask your favorite coding agent to unzip the archive and build analysis tools vis a vis followers, interactions, and engagement. Ask it to identify people who could help you achieve your goal, as collaborators, customers, investors, networkers (and so on, depending on your goal). Ask it to rank them by warmth/established ongoing interaction vs passivity vs friend-of-a-friend. Tell it to return a table of people relevant to your goal who follow you, and who follow people who follow you. Start sending them dms. This might not help very much but it might help a great deal. If nothing else, if you have a grand ambition and you feel stuck, I think this will help unblock you. You're welcome!

baby i'm waking with rage i got that beat in my veins DREAM GIRL w/ @dreamingtulpa

BREAKING: US citizens who are Qualified Purchasers are now able to purchase @allencontrol’s AI-powered machine gun, Bullfrog, from the Department of War’s C-UAS marketplace.

holy shit i asked claude to make a video on western civiization

There's a lot of narcissism in doomerism.
