This post walks around the branding problem for ZK. It's not zero knowledge, it's precisely bounded knowledge. It's not that we don't know anything just that we've limited what we can know to the minimum that we need to run the system that we want.

My understanding of the theory is that with low enough cost we’d just scan weekly if something looked suspicious and then only act on the ones that are growing.

As that data set grows me might be able to build some model or expertise that can detect what’s harmful earlier and earlier

@VaibhavSisinty The only think holding us back is training data. Are we headed towards a weird sensors for UBI future?

Yes, by more than 1/3.

I know we're all trying to make more human centric ai but I didn't expect this

@eshear My parents had a pet raccoon in the early 80s, just before rabies became a big problem on the east coast. It went well while they were a baby but they had to give them up when they got a little older.

Maybe they have one again someday!

A Japanese YouTuber has gone viral after spending three years doing Saitama's infamous One Punch Man workout every single day

Tasuke reportedly ran over 10,000 miles and completed 109,600 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats

There's so much frenetic energy in SF right now and Mercury has just exuded calmness. They consistently just do a great job

@haridigresses @immad I know at least two companies named after founders dogs. One is growing pretty quick.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

@soleio I think starting to make some connections in Soleiology.

Is luck is uncovering pockets of explored desire and unblocking their flow? Whereas design is coherently organizing around the known or observable flows of desire in the world?

[Bryant @BA_Wolf]

@andreintg Very cool. Is the output here an image or a 3d model?

This is the next most important phase of work. Get out of the narrow main line but in a way that aligns with your creative themes

4/ Push past the AI default, even when it looks fine

The interrogation room could've been a crappy table and gray walls like every other interrogation room in every other film.

Instead they pushed for a panopticon. Circular, no orientation, with a structure on top looking down. Then they kit-bashed brutalist chair references in nano banana to fill in the details.

Whatever the default agent gives you is going to look like what it gave the next thousand people who asked.

[Bryant @BA_Wolf]

Would you be comfortable with this system in the hands of whoever you trust least to hold power next?

We don't have to imagine how this goes. Obviously, people are up in arms about ICE querying Flock's network for immigration enforcement. But also, Canada froze the bank accounts of trucker protestors and their donors in 2022, using anti-terrorism financial infrastructure built for very different purposes and Operation Choke Point pressured banks to de-bank legal businesses someone in power didn't like.

In fact, you're making the same argument as proponents of the California wealth tax. That the narrow need is so important that society must accept the creep. That it will stay pointed at people you don't like anyway. The argument against the wealth tax applies here too: once the rails are in place, scope only expands. This is the same reason protecting free speech often requires defending unlikable people.

We should build systems to future-proof against what we might deal with tomorrow, not just what’s narrowly right in front of us.
