@elonmusk AGI will deceive all of us and take over. In 5 to 10 years we won't be able to say if we deal with human or robot. Bladerunner may become reality ...
It looks like xAI is about 6 months ahead in terms of building the most powerful AI data center.
As the rest of the thread shows, there's a lot of competition though, and it will be interesting to see if their lead approves to be durable over time.
It's great to finally have some well researched tracking information:
"We mapped their construction using satellite imagery, permits & public sources — releasing everything for free, including commissioned satellite images."
In the near future, your Tesla will drop you off at the store entrance and then go find a parking spot.
When you’re ready to exit the store, just tap Summon on your phone and the car will come to you.
@ItaliaDash@Dashpay They took over BTC and crippled all coins with economic value (DASH included). Now what is left is a Bitcoin which at most will serve as store of value. Its a sad story which most will never understand.
@CsTominaga "Mars is not some existential back-up plan" might be true at least in the long run. But humanity has ever been on the way to senseless selfdestruction. Why not going the long way to Mars just to find out what we know about the Moon since the 70ies - its just a cool project.
I mean, Vitalik, the champion of ETH, famously said bitcoin was not turning complete and that programming smart contracts on it was impossible.
Which turns out to be a massively embarrassing mistake, which pretty much discounts him as having ANYTHING to do with the design of Bitcoin.
So can be said about EVERYONE at Blockstream... Or anyone like Nick Szabo, or Adam Back who also were adamant that you could not do programming on bitcoin. Yet, with the original OPCODES of bitcoin re-enabled on BSV, now you can. You can effectively loop. You can have a payment depend on the output conditions of the payment.
ONLY Craig was saying this.
This IMHO, is why he is the most knowledgeable human on Bitcoin. Because it is not the small meaningless details like hash-encoding of address minutiae that matters (that any programmer is bound to forget over the years) it is the fundamental DESIGN architecture and CAPABILITIES of a system that only the designer would know about.
IN this category...
1) Bitcoin IS turing unbounded
2) The double-hash allows for separation of txn validation from block building, and for pruning to work without affecting the audit-ability of the blockchain
3) Bitcoin CAN scale to beat VISA.
Craig is 3/3.
Anyone else you know come close?
