Some of Bittensor’s most successful people are dropouts, kids, outcasts, people that never got a break in life, people living in the 3rd world, in jungles, on beaches, and now agents. The beauty of permissionless systems is that anyone can join and cut their teeth against hard problems, without bias — which means we get the best, always. Permissionless is also synonymous with prejudice-lessness. The real DEI, but without blue haired fat chicks.

Asking a $TAO holder to explain what it does

Honest question for Bittensor builders. If emissions stopped tomorrow... would your subnet survive? Not "would it be fine for a while." Would actual customers pay enough to keep the lights on? Because emissions are runway. Not revenue. And I think a lot of teams haven't internalised that yet. $TAO #Bittensor

Advancing confidential computing for a more secure AI future. Together with @manifoldlabs, we’re exploring how Intel TDX and Intel Trust Authority help enable confidential workloads across decentralized infrastructure, including @TargonCompute's Targon Cloud platform—protecting data at rest, in transit, and in use.



I wonder whether this is direct enough to make the point about Coasian rights. AI is a vampire. A wraith. A soul snatcher. It's human. It IS us. A tiny number of men are training machines on us, to be us, and to replace us with less mess and cost. Without Coase, you're lost.

Here's the problem with @Midjourney, in a nutshell: They are stuck with their technology stack, which is Diffusion-Transformer (DiT). This is essentially still the same tech as Stable Diffusion and FLUX used. Newer models like Nano Banana and GPT-Image are multimodal transformers. Essentially, the same model that generates text (like GPT) can also generate images! This allows for much better prompt understanding and unparalleled realism. So why can't Midjourney switch to the same technology? Because it's crazy expensive and difficult to train an entire foundation model. Midjourney is a small company and doesn't have the resources to do this. It would also take years to perfect.
