I started warning Bitcoiners about ossification in 2023 and about quantum computing in 2024...

I'm too dumb to understand how serious the threat is... This make anyone else a little nervous? 😅

If you want to spend a little time on the matter, the Chaincode paper on Quantum Resistance was really good and not too technical.

Tl;Dr - yes, quantum computing can pose a threat to Bitcoin, but there are a number of remedies...but all of them probably require 1+ years to enact.

DRINK OF THE SUMMER:

LEMONADE + COLD BREW

reminiscent of an Arnold Palmer - but with a bite the sour and the sweet chef's kiss

A few thoughts that came to me while watching this:

There is a lot of power in this world, but not much responsibility.
How do I know that this podcast is not generated by AI?
AI is complexity demon

I agree! Credits go to @plebpoet; she gave me the link

I just had to laugh at 50:42 - 51:42:

Bret Weinstein: [...] It's especially troubling because it speaks our language. So this leads us to believe it's more like us than it is, and it's actually, potentially quite different.

Amjad Masad: [...] Yes, it's amazing.

Almost there! Also I transposed it while listening to it because otherwise what do I have an NLP processor extention for - idle time sux.

Love that I could just do:

% grep "speaks our language" transposed.txt
Today, maybe it's not conscious, but, well, let me put it to you this way. If you're conscious, you started out as a child that wasn't, and although this may not fully encapsulate it, you are effectively an LLM. You go from an unconscious infant to a highly conscious adult. And the process by which you do that has a lot to do with being trained effectively on words and other things in an environment in exactly the way that we now train these AIs. The idea that we can take consciousness off the table, it won't be there till we figure out how to program it in and we're safe because we don't know how consciousness works. I take the opposite lesson. We've created the exact thing that will produce that phenomenon and then we can have philosophers debate whether it's real consciousness or it just behaves exactly as if it were. And the answer is those aren't different. And the same thing is true for agency. You know, especially if you've created an environment in which these AIs are de facto competitors. What you're effectively doing is creating an evolutionary environment in which they will evolve to fill whatever niches are there. And we didn't spell out the niches. So I have the sense we have created something that truly is going to function like a new kind of life. And it's especially troubling because it speaks our language. So that leads us to believe it's more like us than it is. And it's actually potentially quite different. By the way, he's the optimist here. He's so optimistic about LLMs and how they're going to evolve. Yes, it's amazing. It's amazing technology. Like, I think it raised global IQ, right? Like 800 million people, like 800 million people are that much more intelligent and emotionally intelligent as well.

lmao.

Woke up at 3:30am thinking about #1016522 and #1017884.

To spend my Sunday very early morning productively, I have:

  1. Leeched the whole 8h41m19s livestream of #1018281
  2. Demultiplexed the audio
  3. Cut it in 1 minute file chunks to not need 50TB RAM
  4. Ran the chunks through whisper spitting out the text of what was said
  5. Combined the chunks. It's now 450kb (!!!)
  6. Ran the full text through SpaCy for normalization
  7. Ran the normalized, lemmatized text through a bert-base-uncased transformer
  8. Asked it: "what should policy support?"

It answered: modernization, ideology, geopolitics. That's nice and concise and now I don't have to watch nearly 9 hours of talks. (kidding, but this is still useful)

  • Total time spent coding: 1h (next time: at most 10 minutes)
  • Total compute time:
    • leech & demux: 6m
    • whisper: 1h12m
    • NLP: 1m
    • transformers: 9m
