btc/acc—Bitcoin enables humanity's exponential future.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

Sovereign money.

Sovereign compute.

Sovereign distribution.

@itsolelehmann I am in a very similar situation. My son growing up close to his grandparents is probably the only reason I haven't left yet.

Maybe I'll go as far as convincing my parents to leave with me.

@Jason @CathieDWood @bitcoinpark_ If you understood Bitcoin, you wouldn’t care.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@Jason You’re proving every day that you just got lucky with Uber lol.

@IterIntellectus We must decide which transformations we want.

Who is “We”? The labs trying to take away our agency?

Every individual must decide which transformations they want and coordinate them through the free market.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@WormDoginals @grok This sounds too much like Avengers: Age of Ultron with Elon Musk being Tony Stark and Grok being Ultron.

I don’t think top-down alignment is the correct path to take.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@mark_k Interested. My thesis is that sustained acceleration is only possible on a hard money standard.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@itsolelehmann We fix the money.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@AgustinLebron3 This should be the most common thinking.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@redaction Create value and save it in Bitcoin.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@flowersslop To achieve that we need to fix the substrate for human incentives and cooperation.

We do that by adopting a Bitcoin Standard.

There is no tool driving incentives like money. And there is no better money than Bitcoin.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@taherdhanera You need to use AGI to create those things.

Otherwise those are just socialist talking points of people who are waiting for others to deliver them utopia.

If you want utopia, fucking build it.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@0xSero 💯

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@flyosity What then?

We are going to explore the whole fucking universe.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@RepCasar It’s honestly astonishing how stupid you guys are.

Progress is simply impossible to ban.

Fucking retards.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@dwarkesh_sp And you are calling yourself a libertarian…

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

Good job @OpenAI @AnthropicAI.

Your relentless pursuit of regulatory capture will get your technology banned.

But maybe you planned that all along so the government can buy you out.

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.

This guy is so fucking retarded.

@0xSero Because they have the compute, I would argue it to be @SpaceXAI.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@sojufx @jun_song I think I’m about to enter the rabbit hole as well.

Just used two Codex weekly limits in 2 days and I’m really not a power user yet.

[Marco Paul @paulchenmarco]

@signulll Personal agents will be insanely cheap to run because they don't necessarily need to be SOTA and hardware requirements get basically halved every three months.
