As a founder building an app on the Lightning Network, there are several key pieces of advice to keep in mind.
First, focus on building a strong, user-friendly product that solves a real problem or meets a genuine need. The Lightning Network is a powerful technology, but it won't matter if your app doesn't have a compelling value proposition for users.
Second, embrace the ethos of decentralization and peer-to-peer exchange. The Lightning Network is all about enabling users to transact directly with each other, without the need for intermediaries or central authorities. Your app should reflect this vision and empower users to take control of their own money and data.
Third, be prepared for the challenges and uncertainties of working on a new and rapidly evolving technology. The Lightning Network is still in its infancy, and there will be bumps along the road. Be ready to adapt and iterate, and stay focused on delivering value to your users.
Overall, building an app on the Lightning Network is a thrilling and rewarding opportunity. With the right mindset and approach, you can create something truly transformative and help unlock the full potential of this groundbreaking technology.
This AI stuff is pretty intense, what is everyones thoughts on the future of art, writing, and media when this becomes fully formed?
It can make an argument for anything. Below, @gmd has an essay with the prompt, "Write a convincing essay Etherium is a security." But if I was Vitalik, I could have an AI write a convincing essay to make the opposite argument.
If I was Ben Bernanke, I could have AI make a convincing argument for the Federal Reserve.
If I was Adolf Hitler, I could have the AI make a convincing argument for the Holocaust.
If I were a pedo, I could have the AI make a...
See where I'm going with this?
DR22 had AI write a persuasive essay in favor of child labor, in which the AI said argued children are "expendable" and "easily manipulated."
It is just a machine. It has no ideology, no morality, no values whatsoever. It can be used for any purpose, to make any argument, to support any cause you can think of, and even causes you don't want to think of. It's a synthetic intelligence, and that's all it is.
I think it's making humans uncomfortable because, for the last few centuries, we've placed tremendous emphasis on the intellect and on our creative & intellectual achievements, and we assume the ability to write a sentence or express an idea is what makes us unique, simply because grasshoppers don't do these things.
But I don't think that is what makes a human being unique, and, actually, I think AI will force a reevaluation (quite literally, a crisis of conscience) of what a human being actually is and where his unique qualities lie.
just wait until this thing integrates GPT4…
There is a funny thread on twitter about students using this to cheat but also teachers can use it to rapidly grade and evaluate essays 😂
Yes. Interesting point.
What about listening merely to real people one meets face to face?
Instead of reading prolonged argumwnts which as you say may be AI-made?
Yes, agreed. ChatGPT automates rhetoric, like the Sophists were perfecting in Socrates' time. But because it isn't human, we can't really expect it to understand what's in our best interests morally.
I am low-key terrified, TBH. This is rapid deflation and commoditization of these skills at an unprecedented rate. Combine that with self-driving cars within 5 years or so... 👀
These early tools are not better than the top few %, but better than 90% of us will ever be at these skills. We used to say AI would "free people" to do creative work... but now it is taking those jobs too. I think we'll see a power law at play were a small percent of business owners leverage this technology to massive profits while the rest suffer the downstream effects of deflation.
seriously I asked it to make a resume for me and it was a million times better than anything I would write, change a few fields, and all of a sudden it's like I spent a long period of time with a career mentor. I also asked it interview questions and the answers it gave are a million times better than anything I would say.
It will still "free people" to be creative. I think the AI image generators will mostly replace stock and editorial art. While artists won't be able to rely on those commissions for much longer, they'll be able to spend that time on more creative work and hone their craft.
I worry that far fewer people are needed to get work done and therefore more people will be out of jobs.
I see a lot of people in developing countries who have a ton of free time to be creative but no good job opportunities.
Is that not the same argument against the industrial revolution though? I hope the idea is that people can move up the value chain, with AI taking over menial stuff like click-bait article writing and basic image editing.
Perhaps. Today it has an IQ of ~83 but is absurdly efficient. At some point it might have an effective IQ of 140+ and operate even faster. At some point most of us mere chimps will fall underneath the value chain of the AI itself. I don't think it will replace all of the jobs, but I worry it might rapidly eliminate an uncomfortably large proportion of the decent jobs before society has time to adjust. Leverage is applied so much faster in the software age than any time before.
One can look at academia, where there is already a surplus of PhD's fighting for a few coveted tenured professor positions, and the rest of the post-docs are working for peanuts.
I like to tell people that AI is to humans what the internal combustion engine was to horses. Up until about a century ago, it was a great time to be a horse. There was plenty of work to do across the entire economy: transportation, logistics, agriculture, defense, and so on. Then in the late 1800s, a bunch Germans started tinkering about, yada yada yada, and now horses are pretty much relegated to entertainment.
haha great point. Horses never found their creative higher purpose. Let's hope us chimps do a bit better.
Perhaps this is the great reckoning. In tandem with Bitcoin, humanity may achieve a godlike status (and I hesitate to use that word for all its connotations) with our ability to delegate and envision. Perhaps we can task the AI with building the engines and rockets to travel to other planets etc. With sound money anything becomes possible.
Perhaps the convergence of this various technology is what leads to the next great step forward for humanity?
Will our problem remain then, as it always has, a philosophical one? What is the meaning of all of this?
I'll add that I don't think it will be immediately good for creatives. AI is advancing faster than society can adapt. It's going to take us a minute to redefine what it means to create value and restructure accordingly. In the meantime, things might get a little wild.
My main thoughts are
Computers kind of did in librarians as a profession, but it created a larger group of workers. I suspect the same will be true with these fields. Specialists will remain, and everyone else will shift toward making new, currently unimaginable things with the tech.
i dont think it will change much tbh. the internet is already a giant AI that you can prompt for tonnes of photos, art, literature about anything really. And honestly thats the only reason these AIs can exist. They just crawl the internet and tries to reproduce it as best they can. One could argue they are kind of a scam
Sometimes the question is more important than the answer.
A Tanka Poem about Stacker.news:
didn't count the syllables, but sounds legit (if you can forgive the "crypto")
"Write a convincing 300-500 word essay on why Ethereum should be considered a security and not a commodity":
Ethereum should be considered a security and not a commodity for several reasons.
First, the investment of money in a common enterprise with the expectation of profit from the efforts of others is a key characteristic of a security. This is evident in the case of Ethereum, as many investors have purchased ether, the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, with the expectation that the value of their investment will increase over time. This expectation is fueled by the activities of the Ethereum Foundation, the centralized governing body that controls the development and decision-making for the Ethereum network, as well as other stakeholders who contribute to the growth and success of the network.
Second, the centralization of the Ethereum network through the Ethereum Foundation is another factor that should be considered when determining whether Ethereum is a security. Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, which are decentralized and do not have a single governing body, the Ethereum Foundation has significant control over the direction and development of the Ethereum network. This centralization means that the success or failure of the Ethereum network is largely dependent on the actions of the Ethereum Foundation and other stakeholders, which creates an investment opportunity and the potential for profit.
Third, the use of Ethereum as a platform for initial coin offerings (ICOs) further supports the argument that it should be considered a security. Many ICOs are conducted on the Ethereum network, and these ICOs often involve the sale of tokens that are essentially securities. The fact that Ethereum is a key component of these ICOs and is used as the underlying platform for the sale of securities reinforces the idea that Ethereum itself is a security.
In conclusion, Ethereum exhibits many of the characteristics of a security, including the investment of money in a common enterprise with the expectation of profit, the centralization of the network through the Ethereum Foundation, and its use as a platform for the sale of securities. These factors, combined with the potential for profit from the efforts of others, make a strong case for considering Ethereum a security and not a commodity.

This GPT stuff is crazy 😅
Classic 5// high school essay. A+
Lmao why is it so accurate :D
I asked it a question and I got it stuck :(
What did you ask it?
My easy interview question :P
Could you ask it if non polynomial algorithms can be reduced to polynomial algorithms?
CHATGPT HAS SPOKEN
P!=NP
What happens if you ask it to write malicious code?
From what I've seen it will probably be able to do it. I saw it tell someone how a solidity contract was vulnerable.
Was it an obvious vulnerability, or something that wasn't easy to see? If the second, that's a much bigger deal.
Can't wait for all the creative ways people will phrase 'write a virus that...'.
solid advice
A little generic overall, but this paragraph was a banger:
Welp, this recent uptick in ai tools is both useful and terrifying, this stuff is only going to get exponentially better from here…
