🚨The first episode of All Models Are Wrong is out🚨

What the @Internetarchive founder predicted 50 years ago

I spoke with @brewster_kahle during @GETDWeb about his work on AI in the 80s, what went wrong with the web and the one time he tried to start a bank.

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@FlameHorizon1 True

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

the dominant political camps of the last 50 years are dying:

- bannon and bernie at the pro-human assembly
- tucker carlson / nick fuentes going against trump and the republican party
- mamdani using the language of government efficiency for left wing policy justification
- trump / US govt buying a part of IBM
- fracturing around AI on the left
- rise of AfD
- Melenchon being kind of antisemitic
- slow disintegration of MAGA
- rise of left populism

the center is no longer holding

very happy to be recording All Models Are Wrong in Berlin

[Jannik 🇺🇸🇩🇪 @jannikwh]

I’m back in Berlin right now and omg it is so peaceful and beautiful.

I love nyc but Berlin has so much going for it - there is life here and 4M people. At the same time the streets are lined with green trees, there is a park at every corner and it is quiet.

Europe has impeccable vibes

@thisisryanking I am now very curious to know what computational vegetables could be

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

hot tip: if you want to be taken seriously on something now, just add "computational" in front of it

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@dipanshuhappy wow, that is very interesting

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@heckerhut i think you're on to something

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

gracias amigos

Interesting that Singapore is raised as a free market stronghold but they have many times chosen against the options provide by the free market.

[Kai @teo_kai_xiang]

I CALLED IT.

It's happening y'all. The singapore gov has launched a pilot programme for a gov-run dating service. Looks like the pilot is currently restricted to just government workers for now.

We improved the efficiency of Gas Killer by 400%

Now if you're spending more than 66k in gas for a transaction on ethereum mainnet, then you may be paying more for gas than necessary

Props to my co-founders @RonTuretzky and @0xbagelface

[Gas Killer | Secure contracts shouldn't cost more @gaskiller_]

Gas Killer now verifies settlements with aggregate Schnorr signatures instead of BLS.

BLS -> ~250,000 gas
Schnorr -> 66,076 gas

That's a 400% improvement!🧵

@Graete97 i live here

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@IsabellaMWeber @KirkusReviews I'd love to have you on the show whenever you're in Berlin!

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@robotNiMA so capitalism does not optimize for abundance already?

why is labor a bottleneck?

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

I feel like it's underreported that the godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton is openly a socialist and has stated "capitalism can't handle AI—only socialism can save us."

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@alisher hell ya

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@fictitious_cap Curious to hear if you have any thoughts on that!

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

After 7 years, The Blockchain Socialist has ended but today, its rebirth begins:

All Models Are Wrong

AMAW examines who controls and benefits from technological systems, and how they might be organized differently.

🧵

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@robotNiMA what does that mean?

[Josh Dávila @allmodelsRwrong]

@DeskDuncan @ianpaulwright thanks
