1/ On How Many Tokens You Have Left

You can notice changes in your visual environment in about 12 to 20 milliseconds (1/1,000th of a second).

It is why monitors that refresh 60x/second are pretty smooth and by 90-120x/second, they are in good shape

@EricTopol Where can one go to get diagnosed and treated along this line of inquiry?

Most talking heads in crypto weren't around a decade ago to know how Ethereum started. It was birthed from scrappy young people radicalized by Bitcoin, who saw the potential of decentralized rails and built out of principle. There wasn't a big investor push; there weren’t VCs at the time who understood what anybody was discussing.

People forget that Ethereum initially raised money from Kickstarter (!). Nobody was sure that it would work. Two early ETH devs lived with me pre-launch. We were all young and poor, but we cared. The small community would meet up and debate philosophy, science, and our responsibilities to the future. The early crypto community wasn’t driven by riches but by the potential to give people meaningful technical tools to support economic freedom. There were no KOLs or financially driven investors. There was no status in the industry yet to be had, and nobody thought that Ethereum would get to the size it has.

By the time Solana came around, many investors had realized they had missed Ethereum’s returns and seemingly used it as a vehicle to repeat what they had missed. I felt the same about Solana that I think many Bitcoin Maxis felt about Ethereum- there were reasons we didn’t build things a certain way, making tradeoffs at the cost of decentralization. But still, as a community, we were glad to see SOL exist and rooted for its success. Crypto was growing, decentralization is and always will be a spectrum, and every step towards broader adoption was a positive one.

To the people shitting on Ethereum- including the SOL founders, ask yourself, what are your principles? Do you care about tools for economic freedom, or do you care about pumping your bags? Free markets are good and the degen casino has a right to exist. But to deny what Ethereum is and was and what it unlocked, including the whole of DeFI, is absurd.

Be a crypto maxi, not a chain maxi.

The term “Artificial Intelligence” is itself a misnomer brought about by this failure of formal imagination. What we are really after is better thought of as Relational Intelligence, or Relational Super Intelligence. In order that a field of external memory be received as something from which we are also able to express upon it, its basis must be by nature more than human. “Artificial” as a term implies the failure to realize in social form the kind of convergence you’re calling for.

1/ While playing around with our @osventuresllc AI Lab, I glanced to my right and saw "The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick" and wondered if you could create a game based on the world Dick builds in this massive tome.

It was a really fun exercise, and here's the first pass

The collapse of trust in our institutions is second order from the failure of elites to creatively adapt to the problems at hand (Toynbee). Seems to be a bit of a Magna Carta moment already… the new elites are flanking. Let’s hope they’re at least as good at elevating capacity around the edges as they are at institutional capture. The opportunity to reestablish trust calls for a different pattern.

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media 🤦‍♂️

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media If the physical limitations of compute and storage have been solved we can all feel overjoyed and not worry about speculation then. Consider it flanked.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Dell sticks dont solve for this so much as speak to the issue. Throttle of material hardware capacity still remains. Very cool though if that’s what you’re referring to.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

Again, very expensive is relative to other competing markets. If you want price relative stability for fuel, something necessary for a functional consumer product, then available storage will come from centralized cloud if demand outpaces available distributed hardware. If you’ve solved that amazing!

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Distributed competes with centralized cloud and if massive demand exists for distributed it will definitely use standard cloud to scale. That path to scaling actually recognized by the Holo team as imminent, at least 8 years ago.

@evaninsky @Hessu357 @CryptofreakHOT @88media Competing markets

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Solar energy has infrastructure, materials, and maintenance costs. Gifts greatly appreciated. Web2 companies probably better equipt to run loss leaders actually.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Exactly

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Let’s not kid ourselves about the complex chain of causation in economics. Despite your complaints and protests Holo ecosystem exists in the world. Electricity and compute markets will define value for every market moving forward.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@evaninsky @Hessu357 @CryptofreakHOT @88media Semantics comprise the core difference between a functional commons and a functional free market.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@Hessu357 @evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @88media Directly, the electricity market and cloud computing market comprised of other options for businesses and communities to use for comparable services. In concentric circles beyond those, every market that exists.

[Nicholas Perrin @nwperrin]

@evaninsky @CryptofreakHOT @Hessu357 @88media This does not happen in a vacuum from other markets.
