If one company summons a superintelligent machine god, they will control the universe for all time.

If five companies summon a superintelligent machine god, they will have negative margins.

Post 1982 pennies are 97.5% zinc and the full metal value sits at around 90% off face value.

[jonreilly.eth @jonathonreilly]

Saw a notice about a nationwide penny shortage at Dunkin this morning. Looked it up and pre-1982 pennies are worth 4x face for the CU content. Illegal to melt them down - but bulk buyers are paying 2x face. It’s a bet that the penny is discontinued (so they are buying copper at 1/2 off). Interesting arbitrage.

i'm a cypherpunk, and have been running nodes since 1990s. exit remailers, tor, file sharing, bitcoin nodes. p2p networks don't exist unless people with mettle run nodes. filter bippers are weak leeches, scared to p2p, demanding to censor to make nodes "safe" for the weak to run.

Today, I’m thrilled to share that @asymptotelabs' open-source project, Agent Beacon, has been exclusively featured by Help Net Security, a top cybersecurity news publication.

Check out the article here: https://t.co/sH0a5VVqJi

Agent Beacon gives security and IT teams a unified record of AI agent activity across local, CI, and cloud environments. Teams can deploy Beacon in one click through MDM and stream telemetry directly into their SIEMs.

We’re grateful to see our open-source work recognized by the community. We’re just getting started, and we’re excited to help define the industry standards for AI agent visibility and governance.

@samrags_ @toly Just until OpenAI launches their next model and includes it on the Pro plan. Then let’s see what happens…

@yacineMTB That's certainly my experience with coding. Suddenly I can do things that previously I could only have dreamed of. The code is probably horrible, but it does what I want it to do.

So much for subtlety

@Jonathan_Blow I’ll never forget the moment in the witness when it dawned on me that I could trace patterns in the landscape/sky. Mind blown. Very much looking forward to this.

Upgrading the 🦞 OpenClaw army.

@sonos should partner with @eightsleep to add adaptive white noise control to your sleep environment. Ideally including environmental noise measurement via the built in microphones (so the system can drown out say a mockingbird).

It’s not about junior vs senior, it’s about “good with AI” vs “not good with AI.”

They could sell this as a service (I would absolutely subscribe).

.@Sonos should build a Clawdbot for the home. Interact via voice (@elevenlabs?), connect to all music services and home control and intelligently integrate it - actually valuable intelligent home unlocked. It could work with existing hardware.

1/ I’ve worked with hundreds of VCs and keep running across the same problem: there’s no simple tool to research rounds and competition.

So…we built it. The Venture Codex is a better way to do research before investing and before helping your companies fundraise.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

The desired outcome of keeping Bitcoin censorship resistant is shared by all. Just some people are less good at understanding network game theory and untangling critical thinking vs how they would like things to work. bitcoin runs on economic game-theory, not wishful thinking.

[vitalik.eth @VitalikButerin]

I get the appeal. We are told that improving our biology is "unethical", and we want to defend against this charge, and yet we're also often told it's a cardinal rule of public communications that if you're always "on the defensive" you're guaranteed to lose. And so what better solution than to turn around the table and say that those who reject the new century's modernity are the unethical ones, because they are committing the age-old sin of negligence?

But ultimately I now think the strategy has far more downsides than upsides. The idea that differences in preferences and values can often be resolved with "live and let live" is a powerful social technology, and we lose a lot if we abandon it.

If you publicly telegraph that if you win your fight for acceptance you will immediately follow it up with a fight for imposition, do not be surprised if people decide to oppose your fight for acceptance from day one with a vigor only reserved for resisting imposition.

And so if we want the health gains of much stronger biotech this century to come with less opposition, we must put a stake in the ground and make clear that it will all be voluntary.

(BTW yes I bite the bullet. I am okay with not mandating vaccination despite the public health risks of such a policy)

I call on @noor_siddiqui_ and all friends of radical biotech to join me in making clear that we support all invasive biotech being strictly voluntary, and that we will find other ways to compensate for the downsides of some people not getting certain things at birth or childhood.

Milady.

@dharmesh Not certain which is more accurate but HubSpot.eth went from $75K pre-update to $330 post-update.
