My rough first attempt at security decentralization. Roadmap defined, frontend to come and more.

@thisvishalsingh Kudos

I don't think people realise how costly it is for ordinary people to run agents. It's a monthly subscription in the triple digits for serious token allowance and you absolutely can exhaust your monthly quota in a day if you let it run rampant. AI providers are in the red too, so we'll see price hikes! Affordability is a real issue especially outside the US. Economics looking grim on that end

Surprised ZK isn't more mainstream nowadays. loads of applications in sectors like digital health.

@Unixwarez @IndieGatsu I understand the disappointment and defeat but; Llms won't scale infinitely, they've been around decades and only took off the last 4 years. Performance, optimization, personal touch and fine details matter a lot in video games, there's no one more qualified than you to succeed

[Unix @Unixwarez]

8 years of game development, and some kid with claude code + chatgpt is making games not far from my quality.

AI can give everyone the tools to succeed while simultaneously making success harder to achieve.

It’s like spending years climbing a mountain, only to discover that someone built a road to the top while you were climbing.

@DanKulkov This shit is expensive as hell too, like unless you roll your own model it's thousands of $, how much does a subscription cost anyway? Or a purchase? I think AI bros are just still in the honeymoon phase

[Verity @0xVerity]

The pursuit of knowledge gives me far greater joy than the results. It's a shame AI has decoupled this but we don't have to accept it as a given.

[Verity @0xVerity]

I don't have many regrets but not capitalising on my formal verification master's degree because I was afraid it wouldn't be relevant to the job market is for sure one of the worst decisions I've made.

[Verity @0xVerity]

@WebdevAnas My 2 cents:

Entry barrier, difficult to acwuire coins and nightmare accounting wise, solves a problem every day people have accepted as the status quo (banking), negative connotation with gambling + scams.

@VCBrags And the name of that lady? Albert Einstein.

I've had three job prospects in my life that I thought: this is the one. I want this. I managed to only land one of them (the second one chronologically). It changed my life. I really wish I got the third one as well. It's really peaceful when you find meaning in your work. Waking up is easy and Sundays don't scare you. Makes the rest of your life more enjoyable too

Our AI found a bug that let anyone mint infinite XRP, with $94B at risk. It had been hiding in one of the most audited codebases in crypto for nearly a decade, and earned us the maximum $250K bounty.

Here's how it went unnoticed, and how we found it. https://t.co/m7rSD8mKS5

[John Ennis @johnennis]

I’m starting to get increasingly uncomfortable with the economics of AI as it is currently happening

It seems fundamentally wrong that a small number of people with access to a huge amounts of VC money can vacuum up all the contributions of humanity, often paying nothing for it, then turn around and get enormously rich while the many people who put all the work into creating the training data get nothing

I am generally pro-AI, but the way it is happening is seeming increasingly parasitic to me

[Nic Barker @nicbarkeragain]

“Chess engines can beat all human players, but chess is more popular than ever” as an LLM analogy conveniently leaves out the part where the all the major employers of chess players (tournaments, sponsors) have literally banned the use of chess engines.

[Verity @0xVerity]

Why? What was the rush to release the papers and what makes openAI exempt from time tested peer review and academia methods? Everyone else had to do it with less resources so why not them? It's almost if they didn't have the best interest of the sector in mind and it was received by mathematicians as such, rightfully so.

[k h ô i @khoiiiind]

People seem to think that rewriting and formalizing those proofs are relatively trivial and OAI should have had the courtesy to take care of the chores. But formalization is a lot of work, and it doesn’t make sense for OAI to hold up the work for months or years and spend significant resources on just that.

[middleclassparty @middle_class_us]

Remember when everyone told young people to learn to code?

Get a computer science degree. Work in tech. Build a career. You'll be set for life.

Now experienced engineers are competing for fewer openings while companies brag about how much work AI can handle.

Imagine spending 15 years building a career in one of America's most promising industries and suddenly wondering whether your experience is becoming a liability.

The career advice hasn't caught up with the job market.

And the people getting laid off don't have the luxury of waiting.

[Verity @0xVerity]

@triangle_gecko @mathelirium @Zedmor No that's just your wrong interpretation. I'm not willing to present more points than what's already being said but the process is just as important as the results, and you're myopic if you can't see that.

[Verity @0xVerity]

@mathelirium @Zedmor They don't. Your concerns are legit. Mathematicians know what's best for their field and you have a lot of people's empathy.

[Verity @0xVerity]

The process is just as important as the results - if not more - in many cases. It's what helps us grow. If we didn't follow that principle so far AI wouldn't even exist. We must not get complacent. The ruling class are not our friends and they're not looking out for us. Upskill

[Verity @0xVerity]

@Timeroot Very well said.
