  • World Liberty Financial was previously criticized after a Coindesk report claimed the project would involve an unusually unequal ratio of public to private tokens.

    Ooof. Dude is an egregious gifter even by crypto standards.

    According to the Trumps, the world of crypto isn’t—as some onlookers have frequently characterized it—a predatory milieu in which wealthy con artists take advantage of (and monetize) the hopes and dreams of financially illiterate lower- and middle-class investors, but rather a bold technological space that can democratize finance and make traditional gatekeepers irrelevant.

    Why not both?

    Dems are as cool as republicans because they’re the same thing. The dems aren’t going to call republicans fascist because the dems share all the same symptoms. They’re not going to call out the republicans for supporting genocide because they also support genocide. They’re not going to call out republicans on supporting the prison state because dems also support the prison state. The dems aren’t going to criticize the republicans for serving capital because the dems serve capital. Etc.

    You gotta realize these politicians are agreeing on much much more than they disagree. It’s what’s not debated that’s most important.










  • Computer programs don’t deceive. They respond programmatically based on input given.

    Any perceived deception by the computer is actually just irrational expectations, etc. by the user.

    it will start by telling you it’s “thinking.” After a few seconds, it’ll specify that it’s “defining variables.” Wait a few more seconds, and it says it’s at the stage of “figuring out equations.” You eventually get your answer, and you have some sense of what the AI has been up to.

    The opposite is true here. We are being intentionally misdirected by misleading/humanizing language away from what the computer is actually doing. Not even close to understanding what the “AI” has been computing.

    However, it’s a pretty hazy sense. The details of what the AI is doing remain under the hood. That’s because the OpenAI researchers decided to hide the details from users… In other words, we’re not sure if Strawberry is actually “figuring out equations” when it says it’s “figuring out equations.” Similarly, it could tell us it’s consulting biology textbooks when it’s in fact consulting comic books. Whether because of a technical mistake or because the AI is attempting to deceive us in order to achieve its long-term goal, the sense that we can see into the AI might be an illusion.

    The author conflates the actual deception of the developers with the imaginary deception of the “AI”. This type of terrible coverage is completely normal inside the “AI” bubble.
