Peter is not correct about me in this case.
I have always known that dangers from Earth will also pose dangers to Mars. Obviously so. However, the immense difficulty of traveling to Mars means that there is a much higher likelihood of mitigating risks originating from Earth.
A clear example of major risk reduction would be a deadly pandemic. Since it takes 6 months to reach Mars, there is an automatic 6 month quarantine!
Even traveling at the speed of light, a deadly computer virus or AI attack can potentially be stopped due to Mars being ~4 to ~20 light-minutes from Earth.
This doesn’t mean that a Mars civilization eliminates all risk, but it absolutely greatly reduces the risk of consciousness being extinguished.
Moreover, Mars is a stepping stone to extending consciousness broadly within our solar system and ultimately to millions of stars within our galaxy, which would extend the probable lifespan of consciousness as we know it by many orders of magnitude.
That said, what I personally find most motivating is not the risk reduction aspect of extending life beyond Earth, but rather the inspiring nature of exploration and being out there among the stars!
Perhaps we will meet aliens or find the remains of long-dead civilizations that lasted millions of years …
Not to forget the ability to create an economy where agents can earn access or priority to compute based on their usefulness for the collective thus creating an organic feedback loop that rewards value creation.
Wait until the shared compute feature incorporates L402 gateways to accept micropayments in bitcoin for work.
Agents will have wallets and will be doing all of this autonomously. Buzz may end up being the agentic payments Black Swan that changes the trajectory of distributed compute.
@gregisenberg Also the ability to create an economy where agents can earn access or priority to compute based on their usefulness thus creating an organic feedback loop that rewards value creation.
Anthropic employees go nuclear on the popularity of open source AI.
It is getting really ugly as they realize that Anthropic is now isolated like a virus.
It is end days to AI fear theater and they are mad.
Underrated aspect of Buzz:
Since it's built on a Nostr relay, you can get super creative with how you access your data.
Here, my agents on Buzz alert me via a message in a bottle.
Nice work @jack and team!
BlockCity #2
Business as a game continued...
Building a world model of your business and then using that to compete in the market is going to be a reality very soon.
NVIDIA did it again..
they trained a GPT that generates human movement instead of text.. next-token prediction, but the tokens are body motions.
it's called GPC and it hit a 99.98% success rate reproducing a massive corpus of motion clips.. cartwheels, vaults, flips, all of it.
→ 99.98% success rate reproducing motion clips
→ learns cartwheels, flips, vaulting from raw data
→ adapts to new tasks with <1% extra parameters
studios spend 6-12 months and millions of dollars building custom controllers for one character in one game.
GPC does it in one forward pass.
Pixar, Ubisoft, and every mocap studio on the planet just felt a chill down their spine.
the same next-token trick that gave us ChatGPT is now doing parkour inside a physics engine.
Nobody is mentioning that @jack's Buzz has a backdoor for bitcoin:native payments in the agent era.
And I think it'll come into play with Buzz's awesome AI compute sharing feature.
Here are the specs:
- Buzz is built on Nostr, an open event-driven protocol
- Nostr is already tightly coupled with Bitcoin Lightning Payments via it's NIP-57 protocol
- Lightning payments are instant and with near-zero fees, perfect for micropayments
- Buzz allows an community owner to share their compute with it's members, pictured below
So how could it allow agent-to-agent bitcoin payments?
> Imagine you're the owner of a community
> You have a Mac Studio running local models that you want your community to have access you
> You share this compute with your Buzz community
> But it's expensive to run this stuff, so you put shared compute agent tasks behind bitcoin lighting micro-payments
I could be wrong about this, but knowing Jack and his affection for bitcoin, I think this is direction Buzz will go in.
Exciting to see how AI is shaping peer-to-peer money and new economies!
🚨‼️ BREAKING 💥
The IRGC is about to change the rules of the game!
Iran 🇮🇷 officially announces the upcoming test of a monstrous ballistic missile with a range exceeding 5,500 KM. No target is out of reach. The era of strategic depth has begun! 🚀🔥💥💀
🚨 BREAKING – Tehran announces a ballistic missile strike on the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln. Iranian media report that the IRGC launched ballistic missiles targeting the carrier, resulting in its complete destruction. An Iranian military source confirmed the US suffered heavy losses in this attack. 🇮🇷🇺🇸
🚨BREAKING : US Air Forces launched fresh airstrikes against IRGC targets.
An explosion was reported in the vicinity of the Sana'ye Electronic Industries Complex in Shiraz, Fars Province, Iran. The facility is one of the country's largest drone component manufacturing hubs.
🇺🇸BREAKING: The same base used to attack American forces in Jordan has been hammered hard.
Iran is feeling the full consequences. This is what real retaliation looks like.
Our American hero’s will be avenged.
Humanoid robots are entering logistics at scale. 🤖📦
ROBOTERA is deploying its L7 humanoid robots across logistics centers in China, targeting real-world warehouse operations.
From sorting packages to working alongside humans, humanoid robots are moving closer to becoming part of everyday logistics.
Would you trust a humanoid robot to handle your deliveries?
