@Sentient_Radar @minchoi Exactly!

@minchoi Don’t believe everything online. Hackers cover tracks, state actors won’t use traceable online AIs like Claude. Open-source models rival it & run locally. Skip “China state-sponsored” claims, how could Claude possibly know if not propaganda?

You won't believe what they're doing in China.

This is the Chinese port in Guangzhou.

People unload ships remotely with 5G, AND THEN, AI vehicles automatically drive the containers to trucks and load them, without human assistance.

BREAKING:

Top BTC developers recently discovered a massive security risk in the Bitcoin Lightning Network.

He claims there are intentional backdoors in the code that allow attackers to get full control of the network.

This triggered him to announce his departure from the project.

It's now possible to block ChatGPT's crawler on any website you control.

Added the block: it's a no-brainer.

Why? ChatGPT cites no sources. It's a one-way relationship where OpenAI takes what is published on the internet, and then doesn't give a single reference or link back.

🔦 Ethereum community spotlight on Kuala Lumpur 🇲🇾

@ETHKL1 is bringing the #Ethereum community to Kuala Lumpur on 13-15 October 2023 with a conference and hackathon at Sunway University, Malaysia.

Deva🦄 had the chance to talk to @harithk17, one of the driving forces behind @ETHKL1, and do a small community interview 🎤🧵

Deva🦄: What is ETHKL?

ETHKL is the Ethereum community in Kuala Lumpur and is a part of Ethereum Malaysia which includes our sister community ETHPenang.

We’ve been running for 5 years and organize a bunch of things including monthly in-person meetups, online workshops, study groups and a small hacker house. In February we held a mini-hack with 90 participants. In May, we held a half-day four-track event hosting 200 attendees and a dozen Ethereum projects. Ethereum Kuala Lumpur on 13-15 October is the next step up!

Deva🦄: What's your origin story?

ETHKL began life in May 2018. It was peak ICO-mania at the time and there were many meetups done to shill these ICOs. A few of us wanted to have a meetup that focused on the actual tech and use cases of Ethereum, and when @wuehler from @infura_io was in town, we decided to hold our first one hosting him and @mtbitcoin from @etherscan.

From there we’ve branched out into all kinds of other activities, especially during COVID lockdowns where we had to be creative to keep ourselves running.
We shared our learnings here: https://t.co/iapA8eW1Eh

Deva🦄: What inspired you to bring Ethereum Kuala Lumpur to life this year?

The pieces were all in place - we just needed to put them together! With @EFDevcon 2024 happening in SEA, nomad builders moving to KL, support from local universities and the community growing from strength to strength, it felt natural for KL to host an Ethereum event.
It was important to us that any such event lives up to Ethereum’s values, so some of ETHKL’s contributors volunteered to step up and take on the challenge.

Deva🦄: What makes KL a unique place for Web3 builders in your eyes?

We see a trend of builders moving to Asia in recent years. A few cities in SEA are ideal for these as we’re extremely affordable and are full of young, hungry talent. KL stands out even among these cities - visitors are consistently surprised by the city’s modern infrastructure, proficiency in English & Mandarin and a thriving Ethereum community!

Deva🦄: What Ethereum topics are most popular amongst the KL community?

There is strong interest in Zero-Knowledge proofs - we recently wrapped up a ZK study group and we're dedicating an entire day of talks (hosting @PrivacyScaling researchers!) just for it. There’s also interest in Web3 data analytics (not surprising given @etherscan and @coingecko are in the community), and in DeFi.

Deva🦄: What unique aspects of Malaysia's Ethereum community do you hope to showcase through Ethereum Kuala Lumpur?

Malaysians are typically shy but once you get to know us you’ll find we’re welcoming, engaged and eager to learn! We’re also hoping to introduce the wider Ethereum ecosystem to the active builder community here in KL.

Deva🦄: How can attendees experience the vibrant culture and sights of Kuala Lumpur during their visit?

Make Malaysian friends at the conference and they’ll be happy to bring you around town! We also shared some suggestions in this thread: https://t.co/sgDqtfyGTC

Deva🦄: Thank you, @harithk17 for the interview!

Check out https://t.co/uE399IsAk4 and say hi to @ETHKL1 on Twitter. 👋🇲🇾

[CZ 🔶 BNB @cz_binance]

Vitalik's Twitter account got hacked. Use common sense when reading content on social media, even from large KOLs.

Twitter's account security is not designed as financial platforms. It needs quite a bit more features: 2FA, login id should be different from handle or email, etc.

In the past, I have had my Twitter account locked a few times due to hackers trying to brute-force it (trying different passwords repeatedly). This was before the "Elon era".

Stay #SAFU!

To be clear, building on open source models is good! You don’t necessarily have to create them from zero, but you ideally should be able to fully control them.

#GPT4 saved my dog's life.

After my dog got diagnosed with a tick-borne disease, the vet started her on the proper treatment, and despite a serious anemia, her condition seemed to be improving relatively well.

After a few days however, things took a turn for the worse 1/
