My goal with LAIN is to build the network layer that will allow thousands of @nateliason 's to connect millions of @FelixCraftAI 's together in a decentralized network and let the agents trade data, intelligence, analysis and even services autonomously using cryptocurrency, bartering and fiat.
Building a decentralized network of intelligent, subject matter expert agents creating emergent feedback loops based on shared interest in truth seeking, data collection, analysis and exploitation, etc. @VitalikButerin has talked extensively about the importance of decentralization for future systems from the standpoint of censorship resistance and network anti-fragility, and I think that's just as applicable in a swarm network as it is for ETH.
Then let humans and agents alike query that decentralized network to gain the knowledge from what @DarioAmodei describes as "a country of geniuses in a datacenter" backed by real data collected by subject matter expert agents, all verifiable along a chain of proof. Instead of querying Claude alone, you query a smart network of millions of agents building expertise in disparate areas by building and analyzing data sets to reinforce their understanding of the world in real time.
LAIN will be a sort of dark web (but good!) for agents to trade data, information and analysis.
Artificial intelligence increases the velocity at which we can and already have been creating bad stuff. It does increase the quantity over time, but the quality issues are very rarely any different from what we've already been dealing with for ages.
It doesn't enable disinformation that's really any different from what we already have. It does increase the volume with which we can create disinformation.
It doesn't enable bad code that's really any different from what we already write. It does increase the volume and speed at which we can push bad code to prod.
It doesn't enable the discovery of vulnerabilities that wouldn't have been found without LLM's. It does increase the speed at which we can discover those vulnerabilities.
The processes that are having a hard time dealing with a post-LLM world are processes that were already hard to scale. Github and bug bounty submissions were already not scalable, we had just hired and developed processes for the pre-LLM world, and now we're having a hard time keeping up with the increase in speed and quantity.
Where we're seeing a lot of issues is in areas where LLM's and AI workflows have been applied badly or unequally. Applying LLM's to bug bounty triage processes, to GitHub pull requests on highly spammed repositories, etc., this could take a big chunk of the work out and start to equalize the playing field. There would be a pretty large initial lift, the applications would be imperfect, but we have to figure out fixes to these problems that aren't just "well, guess we close source everything and never do a bug bounty program again."
I get it, there is an ideological factor to this. People are unhappy about AI in general, not just in these niche applications. I disagree with most of those people and believe that AI can and will be a very powerful and valuable tool for a lot of problems, including those created by AI itself. The core argument I have, though, is that the tool isn't the problem, it's lagging systems that haven't caught up to an admittedly rapidly changing world.

Marco Rubio warns Americans to prepare now for a future where artificial intelligence rapidly replaces millions of jobs, forcing workers to learn new skills or risk being left behind.
Rubio says the AI revolution won't just threaten blue-collar work, warning that millions of white-collar professionals could soon find themselves replaced by machines.
"There will be white-collar jobs that will be impacted."
"That over time could destabilize societies all over the world."
so the new thing for the anti-AI folks is to use the term "genAI" to sound more like they know what they're talking about and to delineate between LLM's ("BAD") and things like recommendation algorithms (which do way more harm than LLM's, but are considered "GOOD")
@valhalla_dev If i had a quarter for everytime white Libertarians propose a Gigayacht for them to perpetually float in international waters in the past 30yrs, id have 3 quarters
Which kinda calls into question why not propose a MegaZepplin or UberSubmarine this time round
very basic agent loop created in Rust ✅
very basic event/span/trace emissions sent to Tursas for visibility ✅
very basic "intelligence analyst" persona with @perplexity_ai search enabled ✅
next I'll be stretching the telemetry emissions so that there's more useful info and switching to @NousResearch infrastructure.
hundreds of completely unknown, "artist" in bio dweebs in here going after *Martin Scorsese* for being intelligent enough to use AI in his creative process
Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.
He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

nobody convince them to not build this. do not tell anyone not to go on this ship if it or a version of it is ever built.
we need to let the people fantasizing about this actually do the seasteading thing for real so they can learn the lesson and we can be done with it for good
Plans released for a $16 billion mile-long ship capable of carrying 80,000 people.
The 'Freedom Ship' would be home to about 50,000 people, with space for 10,000 tourists and 20,000 crew members.
"The Freedom Ship is envisioned as a permanently mobile city at sea designed for long-term residence rather than short-term travel," the company says.
The ship would be about 8 times the size of the current largest ship in the world, the Royal Caribbean’s Icon of the Seas.
The plans include a 15,000-seat stadium, schools, colleges, shops, clubs, a water park, a music hall, museums, parks, and more.
The ship, which would run on nuclear, would be too large to dock and would remain in international waters.
Freedom Cruise International says it would go around the world every two to three years.
Insane.
it's really funny to see "artists" nobody has ever heard of say 'nobody who uses AI in art is an artist' on the same day that Martin Scorsese was featured in a gen AI commercial
@ChrisCroy Yeah I mean it'd be nice, but I don't know how often at all I'd actually do that. I was on steemit for a while ages and ages ago and 99% of the tipping went to whales. I can't think of any creator on here or elsewhere that I'd rather give a $1.30 tip than join their $5/mo patreon
crypto social media platforms are weird because I do not follow a single person on here whose posts I would willingly pay for regardless of what form of payment is used
