if you are a researcher, engineer or deeptech founder, never trust a closed model with your unpublished alpha prompting proprietary AI with confidential breakthroughs turns your lab into an uncredited training hub for a cloud monopoly keep your sensitive research off their servers

“real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle”
go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!! real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

Yes!! Here's a overly-reduced diagram of @QuaiNetwork ... we know it needs work. @UtxoAlliance is modeling UTXO chains. Help us! Base model here: github.com/UTXO-Alliance/han…
cool diagram should we make one for @QuaiNetwork?

Keep an eye on what our new member @ZengateGlobal is up to. Pretty cool to see that supply chain can erase intermediaries by connecting consumers and producers through protocols.

I'd argue that individual humans are not dumb but still a random person is statistically not smart enough to command the necessary progress to reach prosperity. Human colonies do and must organize, coordinate and cooperate to survive and progress. We need each other
Ants are dumb. But ant colonies are smart. And meta-organisms like colonies arise repeatedly. Because if they don't somehow coordinate, they die. That doesn't require any conspiracy theory. Just evolutionary theory.

MAXIMALISM WILL RISE Inflation is a real problem for the regime. It cuts across demographics to cut into their support. And there's really nothing they can do. Yeah, they can hike rates, but that just means high prices for young people on another dimension — namely, on their biggest ticket items like loans and cars. And of course the entire US economy is based on endless money printing. And high rates mean the regime is piling up interest costs in an unsustainable way, as you can see below, so they can't keep rates elevated forever. All they can do is what they're currently doing. Which is manipulating stats and gaslighting the population. First inflation didn't exist, then it was transitory, then it was being imminently solved by high rates, and now it's actually good for you (or something!). Oh, and the other thing they can do is quietly issue record amounts of debt, just to prop up this fake economy: God only knows how long this lasts or how quickly it comes apart, when it breaks. But the DC regime cannot pay its debts. They will eventually resort to printing gigantic quantities of money. However — if we're already at 64% of 18-29 year olds thinking inflation is the #1 issue, extrapolate out what it looks like when it's 75%. Or 95%. Or 99%. When we're all just drowning in oceans of printed paper. That is the stuff of which revolutions are made. So, this really isn't about Trump vs Biden. For one thing, both Trump and Biden nominated Chairman Powell. For another, as recent votes show, there is no way any national Republican or Democrat will solve this mess. They are creatures of the state, and any solution to inflation will not come from within this state. It will have to come from outside. That's why it the next one really is the people vs the government, the network vs the state, and — most of all — the dollar vs Bitcoin. I am no maximalist, but Bitcoin Maximalism will rise.
Inflation is the number one issue for 18-29 year olds across all demographics.

The internet used to be ✨ fun✨ projects.kwon.nyc/internet-i… I remember visiting my friend’s websites. They were ugly and quirky and it was awesome. You wondered who’d stop by yours. They were a labor of love and a medium of self-expression, not your LinkedIn. We can fight this.

The fact that this still happens today is a JOKE! Not as extreme as Zimbabwe but this is USD 1k in Argentinean pesos. The amount and weight of this paper is absurd. Fiat is a scam! #Crypto #CryptoCommunity
Who was responsible for the economy of Zimbabwe? a) price-gouging corporations b) emigrants who left c) people talking about inflation d) the government of Zimbabwe

You know how image generation went from blurry 32x32 texture patches to high-resolution images that are difficult to distinguish from real in roughly a snap of a finger? The same is now happening along the time axis (extending to video) and the repercussions boggle the mind just a bit. Every human becomes a director of multi-modal dreams, like the architect in Inception. Coming back to Earth for a second, image/video generation is a perfect match for data-hungry neural nets because data is plentiful, and the pixels of each image or video are a huge source of bits (soft constraints) on the parameters of the network. When you're training giant neural nets in supervision-rich settings, your train loss = validation loss, and life is so good. My favorite place to keep an eye on the AI video space unfold atm is probably reddit.com/r/aivideo/ , or the individual Discords.
