I believe that vibe coding was only the beginning. Welcome to the age of intuition building. ☁️🏭 Wait that came out wrong. We're not building intuition.. We are building at the speed of light guided by our intuition.

Under appreciated banger of a paper

this is awesome

Privacy != Cryptography reminder

One thing I find striking in the discourse between AI 2040 and its detractors is that the two seem to be locked in to totally incompatible worldviews of how fast and how much of a big deal AI progress is: * In AI 2040, every scenario sees superintelligence of some kind emerging by 2040, unless a herculean effort is made to completely stop it * Detractors say things like "AI 2040 is naive about human coordination ability and a threat to freedom", but don't seem to see any naivety in assuming that the ASI transition will just go well by default, don't seem to see ASI itself as a massive power concentrator risk, and don't seem to feel fear of humanity's "hard power" dropping to zero if ASIs can do literally every task better than we can. This stance makes total sense in a "AI is normal technology" world, zero sense in a world where superintelligence is possible by 2030 and almost guaranteed by 2040 I think my beliefs are: - If I was confident that (present-day-style) AI is normal technology, I would be in the detractor camp - If I was confident that superintelligence is coming in 2030 by default, I would be closer to the AI 2040 camp - it's naive, but every other option is naive squared? But my problem is that I feel great uncertainty and have no idea which of the two worlds (or some other third thing) we're living in? Hence why I continue to be open-minded about slowdowns/pauses, but also I feel very uncomfortable with the "open source bad, the good outcome is the one where our guys have controlling global dominance" push coming from some major AI companies and intellectuals - in a "normal" world that's the sort of thing that triggers every political alarm bell at the same time. A big reason why I have been advocating and trying my best to support the d/acc platform (rapid up-skilling in formal verification, cryptography, secure and open hardware, pandemic resistance and other defensive biotech, food and basic resource security, public epistemics, non-power-concentrating versions of physical security) is that these things are clearly worth doing in both worlds. The 2040 plan is already much more open source friendly (even mandating it! yay). It also includes "mutually assured compute destruction" ideas which (if they work) effectively give one of 2-5 actors the ability to trigger a global compute winter - as opposed to giving 1-5 actors the ability to selectively disenfranchise people they consider baddies while exempting themselves. This is also a big improvement. So I can see the earnest attempts to improve along the dimensions detractors criticize on ("does this concentrate power in big AI labs and superpower governments?"), and I appreciate this. I think many people don't appreciate enough the differences between different "kinds" of pause buttons, and how some concentrate power far more than others. Probably we can think harder and improve even more here. But on the "slowdown/pause or not" topic, there isn't a magic "escape the tradeoff" button. The Hansonian in me says: the winning deal is a deal which, from the perspective of both sides' present-day beliefs and knowledge, both sides would accept, though for different reasons. If the crux is AI progress speed, then identify a set of pre-agreed triggers for "okay, serious shit is happening" [super-pandemics? >25% unemployment? something involving slaughterbots?], and pre-agree that we become much more open-minded to the slowdown or pause thing if enough triggers come to pass within some timeframe. 2040 detractors (who clearly implicitly think that we'll see amazing speedup of progress from AI but think that what I call the "serious shit" category is overhyped) will accept expecting that the triggers don't come to pass, and AI worriers will accept expecting that they will. Pre-agreeing on the specific triggers means that once the triggers either hit or don't hit, there is stronger legitimacy around the idea that one side's worldview turned out more correct and we should be more inclined toward their program. If I were @elonmusk (or zuck, or...) I would re-tool twitter much more heavily into being a platform for helping to identify and make these kinds of grand win-win deals, so that we can bypass big-country governments and big-company CEOs and big nonprofit intellectuals and give more people a voice in the discussion. It's possibly one of the best things that social media _could_ do for humanity if it wanted to. But again, maybe this is also naive. Actually, probably it's naive. But currently, I see zero plans for how to deal with an ASI transition that are not naive. Perhaps humanity is stuck with a choice between naive and naive squared (or maybe even naive squared and naive cubed), so I feel inclined to cut some slack to people who are trying.

@AlgodTrading Privacy != cryptography

Whats the hype around TEEs? Every serious cryptographer i talk with have some passionate hate for them + they are breakable on the hardware level Yet we pretend them somehow bring full privacy, for inference demand (openrouter) is also quite low for ‘private’ inference Privacy is something binary, either you have it or you dont imo

@marvin_tong 👑

People ask what I’m busy with. Private AI’s biggest bottleneck is compute—not garbage tokens. One lead needs 50M TPM, and no TEE provider can serve it. So I’m mortgaging all I got and going all-in on B300—to make Phala the best-perform private AI provider for our clients win.

the privacy pools v2 trusted setup ceremony is now beginning and we need your help contribute your entropy and become an early supporter of the protocol, guide below ↓

@0xQuintus would be crazy if we had some type of onchain registry + transparency log for system events … oh wait! github.com/flashbots/roll…

* finger snaps * IMO the answer is TEE attestation everywhere. Regulating based on reporting is regressing to old tech ofc, at the end of the day, if the user goes to a funky UI, there's not much we can do from a technical perspective so we need a kind Execution Beat for the last mile

@zooko Anything touching TOR or zk payment channels gets blocked by Fable for me

I've been using Claude Fable 5 heavily on a defensive security project—a protocol for protecting Zcashers against eavesdroppers, including kidnappers who are looking for rich victims—and Fable hasn't blocked me or told me that it was downgrading me even once yet.

Dario saw his shadow. 5 more days of Fableing.

has anyone searched the vercel public deployment mempool or the github secret gist mempool?

is it me or does anthropic make it extremely hard to understand how much you have spent ? 😅

@ncerovac @LidoFinance @usewisp_io Coolio! Would love to try when it’s open source!

@DistributedMarz @LidoFinance @usewisp_io it will be code to see with your own eyes, to feast the eyes and think 'damn these guys are no joke aaaaand they are pleasant to chat with' :)

For the past 5 months several unwell people @LidoFinance have been trying to build the most private AI imaginable. Today I'm opening the waitlist. Wisp (@usewisp_io) is the antithesis to Sam and Dario's 'trust me bro' privacy. Architected so no one - even Wisp - can read, train on or retain your data. Waitlist: usewisp.io How it works:

@ncerovac @LidoFinance @usewisp_io Will it be the actual code or just the binary like your FAQ says, “You can verify the attestation against our published, open-source binaries.”

@DistributedMarz @LidoFinance @usewisp_io atm u cant, but soon u will be able to take a look at code

@ZoomerOracle Yay another first ever MEV Resistant L1!

I’m pretty sure almost nobody is aware that $MON will be the first MEV resistent L1 ever soon I think considering how well connected Monad team is (NYC cabal), I wouldnt be surprised to see big institutions launching products on Monad as the paper suggests the speed isnt compromised+pre trade privacy This is why I love bearmarkets in a way: this is the time to do research as it will reward you greatly Source: arxiv.org/abs/2607.02275

In the future, there will be "Latent Space Archaeologists" who investigate the model weights of the 21st century to reconstruct a long extinct culture.

@katiewav Ya Long Island City looks a bit inflated

@DistributedMarz the proportions of this map are really tripping me out
