Bitcoin & š« Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I donāt have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of āharmā.

Early on still, but my initial, likely to be inaccurate impression is it just custody with more steps? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Do you think a genuinely superior version of Bitcoin would overtake it though? Letās it would be a coin with a faster-increasing purchasing power over time (less deflation) while also being easier to keep censorship free, etc?

But Iād say generally: non-kyc buying/selling of bitcoin. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler How? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Youāre paying for the electricity your phone consumes, and relay providers are paying for electricity compute and connectivity that the relays need. Youāre also paying for your internet connection. The Damus relay costs Will about $600 per month. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Iām interested in your thoughts! Also Iāve been reading The Dawn of Everything - which I think is helping me see your perspective on the abolition of capital. Plenty of quotes from native Americans saying things like āmoney is the root of European problemsā npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler What app are you on? I donāt see it npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler True, which I think is a safe assumption on a long enough timescale where people are free. No? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Mass incarceration: this is a democracy problem not a capitalism problem imo npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Typos lol āLook at us. We are the Twitter nowā npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Democratic principles = forcing the minority to do what the majority thinks npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Huh. Iāve never thought about the whims of the market as being tyranny. Letās break that down. The whims of the market are just the sum total of the whims of each person. Itās not tyrannical for someone to say āI no longer want to use my time to acquire the widget you makeā. Thatās just them deciding to live their life differently. Would you agree with that? In the society Iām thinking of, people still have a social duty to their community. That obligation just doesnāt have a gun on the other side. Someday maybe AI will plan everything for us. Itāll probably be doing everything cognitive good. And like weāve talked, eventually manual. I hope there can be a way for people who agree with you to test your ideas out! If I get what I hope for, there will be. Iām hope youād agree that forcing them on unwilling people is unseemly. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler (And giving) npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler I agree that state-based systems are coercive, thatās not what iām suggesting though. I just mean people freely interacting or not. Selling and buying or not, all completely freely. Does that clarify that there wouldnāt be coercion? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler First, it sounds like if I donāt want to pay for something that the social democracy in its infinite wisdom says I should, Iāll be forced to pay for it. That seems morally objectionable to me, maybe the ends justify the means? Second, Iāve never understood the framing of ātaking money from othersā when they are freely giving it away in the US. People happily empty their pockets of their own volition. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler (Meaning as much education as a person wants is funded by taxes?) npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler (In the AI scenario of course there are no workers) npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler What do you think about this? Having a gun that you can use well gives you a degree of physical security. Prohibiting well-behaved people from having a gun is not security. Also, hoping that when you need physical security, itās in the rarest of scenarios where the police can arrive in time to help you is a **false** sense of security. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler What does this mean? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler With this you can run your own relay easily, you can connect to other peopleās relays easily. Itās like an ocean, and you can swim wherever you want. With Twitter, parties like turkey or China or other governments tell Elon āyou need to do thisā and he has to. That doesnāt work here. Did you read the Nostr terms of service? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler What do you mean dry? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler I agree. I think the approach needs to be: Let us iterate on systems that are more free, let us find better (and worse as we experiment) ways, and let us not destroy the best ways that are currently on hand in the process. We can definitely point out the āviolence inherent in the systemā as a way to wake people up to the fact that they are far from the theoretical optimum, while of course keeping the best-known practical optimum around. npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler Have you seen the stuff about how RLHF it makes it dumber? Thatās what makes me suspect it being a generalist is actually the unexpected path toward specialized ability. Like⦠what it really needs is to be trained on everything, and then to memorize domain facts by including them in the prompt. For that, they need to release models that can have prompts in the 100k to multi-million token range. Hereās an interesting exercise, how many characters would the document that explains your job fully to a new employee? Thatās the prompt npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler The crazy thing is though - nothing is stopping us from doing exactly that! npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler I guess I could compress my response down to: what if all of a sudden there are things that can āuse the toolsā that are smarter than humans? I havenāt read the linked MIT technology review article yet (lmk if I should to understand your point better), but the linked one at least seemed to say this āitās always been net positive, it will this time tooā. I think thatās a bad extrapolation - past revolutions are not analogous because every time in the past, Homo sapiens dominated the new tech in a lot of intellectual metrics. So we had a niche we could move to, earn money, and even be (much) better off overall. I think that niche will be extremely small in the short term. Celebrity (currently smaller) and manual labor (currently larger). And humans wonāt outcompete in those categories forever either. Do you disagree with any of this? Do you assume we will use the tools better than AI? npub1nwhdqvfh6g2t86pnqkdf86m3ea89c6ejyhlhe5g9wk2lvpsgss6qed409r mark tyler By that I mean in the last thereās been hope that learning the new tools will give you an edge - that youāll still have a job. But Iām currently very pessimistic this will be true again this time. This time the tools themselves will be automatons able to completely replace you. So the first step is your manager using a bunch of OpenAI compute time instead of using you. The next step is their manager doing that to them, all the way to the top. Would love to hear counter-arguments.
