One of my *strong* believes is that entertainment industries have an unfathomably important role to play in helping us get to a future that isn't just reflexive battles between "pro-AI" or "anti-AI"

So. Yesterday I received a DM on Instagram from a very prominent director. Mostly known for animated movies, and someone who rose to fame in the 90s with one of the highest-grossing films of all time. Here was the message: “The short film is terrific. I would love to learn more about your process. Which tools, etc. Let me know if you’d be willing to share.” Someone who genuinely loves animation. Someone who helped establish the medium many of you care deeply about. Someone who has spent decades pushing storytelling forward. Curious about AI. Respectful of the work. Interested in understanding how it’s done. If people at that level can approach this with curiosity instead of fear, I’m pretty sure the rest of us can manage to do the same.

@matthewrcohn @LSaillans It is still ~$40 anywhere except this random Amazon listing

@LSaillans It was out of print for awhile, then it came back, bought one last year. $40, not $442. Guess its out of print again

His book has been banned by the Us governement in 2023.
A US Space Force officer wrote a thesis at MIT arguing Bitcoin is a weapons system.
The Pentagon ordered him to take it down.
The book is called SOFTWAR, written by Major Jason Lowery.
I managed to get my hands on an original, pre-takedown version.
Here are the ideas that apparently made the DoD nervous:
→ Bitcoin is not a financial technology, it's a weapons system.
It is an electro-cyber power projection system, in the same category as armies, navies, and air forces, but for the domain of cyberspace.
→ The "Power Projection Theory" framework
Every military branch exists to secure a domain by imposing severe physical costs on anyone who threatens it. Armies secure land, navies secure sea, air forces secure the sky. Bitcoin, Lowery argues, does this for cyberspace. It imposes real physical cost (energy/watts) on attackers, which no prior cybersecurity system could do.
→ Every military branch secures a domain by making attacks physically costly. Bitcoin does exactly this for cyberspace, imposing real energy costs on attackers for the first time in history.
→ Lowery draws on 5,000 years of history to argue that any system based purely on trust and rules eventually gets captured by bad actors. Physical cost is the only reliable constraint.
→ He calls this new paradigm "softwar": non-lethal, machine-vs-machine energy competition in cyberspace. Tesla predicted something like it in 1900.
→ His most striking claim: a soft, electro-cyber WW III war may have already started.
World leaders do not recognise it because they are expecting the next war to look like the last one.
Five concrete policy recommendations for the US government:
1. Stop letting economists set Bitcoin policy.
2. Treat Bitcoin as a cybersecurity asset first.
3. Consider strategic Bitcoin reserves.
4. Protect proof-of-work under the Second Amendment.
5. Recognise that proof-of-stake is a centralised fraud, not a viable alternative.
Because the nations that figure this out first will have an asymmetric advantage over those that do not.
The book was pulled in July 2023 by DoD.
Physical copies now sell for over $300.

@mbateman Yes but it's not like that model only yields a single chatgpt window. Is a world class foundational model, running on millions of devices simultaneously, more productive than the ~few hundred~ humans worth of resources it took to train?
I guess it depends on which humans...
English
It costs ~$100M and ~tens of millions of GPU hours to train a ~1 trillion parameter model
It costs ~$500k and ~a hundred thousand hours to train a ~1,000 trillion parameter human
AI is exciting but don’t lose perspective on the orders of magnitude in comparisons with humans
Chief Nerd@TheChiefNerd
🚨 SAM ALTMAN: “People talk about how much energy it takes to train an AI model … But it also takes a lot of energy to train a human. It takes like 20 years of life and all of the food you eat during that time before you get smart.”
English
“the bots are gonna use my protocol/project”…
what problem are you solving for the bots that you didn’t for the humans?

How many people do you think will order an air gapped bitcoin only signing device this year? How heavily do we stock up?
Hint of the day: there are two microsd card slots under the battery cap of the coldcard Q.

Sometimes a few hours overturn everything.
After a few very scary days, our 3rd child and 2nd daughter was just born, far earlier than ideal. Happily, her and her mama are doing great and we're thrilled. Merry Christmas to everyone spending the holidays in neonatal this year!
