I truly only feel bad for those that didn’t vote for this. The rest of you actually saw this shit and chose it. Enjoy.

🧑‍💻@nagasha_'s path into Bitcoin open source is anything but ordinary. She began her career as a civil engineer, explored technology on the side, and followed her curiosity into a completely new world. That curiosity led her to @BitDevsKLA 🇺🇬, the @btrust_builders program, and eventually to a full-time role contributing to @lightningpolar. In our latest grantee spotlight, Jemimah shares how the journey unfolded, what she learned along the way, and why Bitcoin has room for people from many different backgrounds. If you have ever wondered how people make the jump into Bitcoin open source, this is one story you will want to read. Check out the blog here: blog.btrust.tech/how-curiosity-…

All automation exists to make it such that humans no longer have to do it. So yes, the goal *is* to replace humans but that has always been a good thing and might continue to be.

@JacksonKernion quite interesting to hear an anthropic person say this

I simply don't understand what people have in mind when they say stuff like this. What we have is extremely capable computer use agents. They will continue to get better at computer use. But how does a capable computer use agent 'take over' and why haven't they done that today?

(1) We are likely on track to develop AI systems capable of causing human extinction/permanent disempowerment, quite possibly within the next few years

Still relevant.

AI, AGI, or ASI are essentially umbrella terms for "everything computers can’t do yet." But if we truly dig into definitions, today’s models are already generally intelligent in significant ways: large language models (LLMs) routinely answer most general questions across countless domains. They might not always provide innovative or optimal solutions, but they reliably offer useful, contextually relevant responses. Even before LLMs, we’ve seen forms of broad general intelligence emerge. Consider Google or the internet itself—systems broadly intelligent enough to help users find answers, navigate complex queries, translate languages, provide accurate maps and directions, and much more. General intelligence doesn’t necessarily require a single executable; distributed systems have exhibited this trait for decades. Regarding "super intelligence," we already have narrow superintelligence. Calculators have long surpassed human capability in mathematical speed and accuracy. Chess computers surpassed humans in strategy decades ago. Search engines and recommendation systems already demonstrate superhuman abilities within narrow tasks. What we might not yet explicitly have is general superintelligence. Yet, in reality, combining existing generally intelligent systems (like LLMs) with narrowly superintelligent tools (calculators, search engines, maps, etc.) already approximates general superintelligence. Perhaps what’s missing is merely the perfect user interface that seamlessly integrates these capabilities into one cohesive system. A human sitting in front of a computer or interacting with an LLM, leveraging search engines, calculators, and various tools, effectively embodies a form of artificial general superintelligence. Humans today are significantly augmented by technology, capable of performing tasks and solving problems they couldn’t previously manage unaided. In conclusion, terms like AI, AGI, and ASI are largely meaningless or, at best, marketing terms useful for fundraising and hype. Just as "AI" finally became accepted as something that already exists, terms like AGI and ASI will follow suit. Human beings today already exist in a world enriched with artificial general and superintelligence. This doesn’t mean these systems won’t continue to improve dramatically—they will—but we already have “AGSI”. Whatever that means.

Methinks that unless you can foresee an end to the Age of Computer, speaking computer “better” will be an edge.

There’s still a lot of leverage in being able to “speak computer”, what has changed is what kind of computer speak is “valuable”. Some say speaking computer will very soon no longer confer any advantages. Idk about that.

@kwuchu So much for “independence”, they’d have done it by now.

I thought moving to London would be the end of my VPN to US woes but alas I need it for Computer Use. What a farce.

Apple's "link mouse and keyboard to other macs" is so buggy and flaky. I had to buy Synergy 3. Which works with Windows too so yay.

Currently getting codex to figure out how to do Computer Use on my iMac either via direct ssh to the MCP or by calling the codex cli command because I want it to test the desktop app I'm building, record proof of testing without disrupting my work on my MacBook.
