Fantasy is not the art of inventing worlds.

It is the art of embodying values so deeply a world might breathe.

@matteopelleg Generalisable Proof of Useful Work à la Bittensor.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@ZeDoctorBlur To be fair, to this day I am yet to experience a game that captures the spirit of adventure and awe like Grandia (Elden Ring's slow map reveal comes close).

Leaving Midgar for the first time is probably the closest FFVII gets to the feeling of reaching the End of the World.

@tylerdurdeth @404gen_ @Rapido_ai Congrats! Would love to know more about yours and the other contestants processes to be honest. Feel like there's a genuine skillset to acquire here with Atlas.

@TrustlessState Generalist LLMs are but one form of digital commodity, David. TAO-pill yourself already.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@CryptoZPunisher @actualinc To simplify, "it's Bitcoin, except the compute is accessible, directable, sellable, and any device can pool."

Actual is arguably the most commodity-like idea on Bittensor. It could make zero revenue and still be immensely valuable due to pure demand, just as Bitcoin is.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@khaledj009 @blockhash7 @lcnxyz @const_reborn @KeithSingery @actualinc This is my understanding also.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

I honestly think of @actualinc as something akin to the next logical application of mining beyond Bitcoin - moving from energy transmuted into fixed or concentrated compute, to energy transmuted into malleable or directable compute. Intuitively, this makes sense as a subnet sits at a higher level of abstraction than the base pursuit of a chain's security.

The single most important goal for the project right now seems to me to be to establish the market of supply/demand, to prove the commodity is objectively valuable, then let that be the organic determiner of price, as opposed to the trad, stock market-imposed argument of obsessing over revenue when talking about digital commodities on Bittensor.

@404gen_ Just had a go trying to make a classic jrpg. Alas, nowhere near cool enough to submit in time, but definitely gonna treat Atlas like the new Photoshop from now on and get gud at it.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@ayanakajima3 My view is that computing - from software, to LLMs and Distributed and Deterministic Systems today - are all part of a long, ancient, 'abstract' lineage, back through code, law and the written, to speech or 'The Word' as synonymous with the Egyptian concept of Magic (Heka).

@Monsterbf1Ilove Personally, I would like to see some moment, flickering as it may be, of his will coming into conflict with Jenova. Some recognition of his own subservience.

OG purists likely won't approve, but I feel the wider compilation justifies the briefest moment of returned humanity.

@DarnelSugarfoo To be fair, Shiny Happy People is objectively the worst song ever written.

There's some truly void-longing negative aura there to consider.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@EmersonDickie That said, I think the strongest point you're making is the capital/coordination side of things. Though my personal view is that subnets compound upwards towards ever-higher abstraction commodities and services, creating a continuum of new economic opportunities.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@EmersonDickie Imo this argument assumes Bittensor, like past L1s, is static or immutable.

What it is today isn't what it will be tomorrow. That's a feature, not a bug.

I've been in TAO since $30, not because it was perfect on any given day, but because it's THE evolutionary network.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@zectrillionaire @heydittoai @say_gm_ GM is essentially Open Router with the added dynamic of miners competing to offer otherwise wasted inference (think 'BTC as a buyer of last resort for energy'). Same principle.

So if GM isn't currently cheaper for a given model it should become so as its market matures.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@zectrillionaire @heydittoai @say_gm_ I mean it's paid by the token so in that regard it's cheaper because I just top up $10 a month and that's enough for me. Also I can use whatever model, including Astra or Fable if I want. And that says nothing about the unique memory-graph capabilities of Ditto.

@markjeffrey 'Square-Root' Networks.

It's Intranet vs. Internet again because the closed players can't openly compose. Mycelium is our superpower.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@Old_Samster Bittensor is a stateless entity.

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

@antidiraken @conjectures_io Yessir, that's the power of Bittensor (or at least one of its 128 subnets).

[Dee 🪶 @ArchspellSaga]

While I maybe don't agree with your first point, I do agree that the TV show laid the narrative beats out in a way that did a disservice to Martin's intentions.

Imo the mistake was trying to portray the true, bittersweet ending, rather than producing an explicit, unapologetic, alternate television ending - reserving Martin the respect and freedom of mind to tell it himself. E.g the white walkers actually swept through Westeros and killed everyone. The end.

The show could then have stood as its own powerful statement to what was arguably the most captive audience in human history.
