Anthony & Marks were in town for LLamaCon so we got to jam! We discussed a variety of topics including:

- The state of Llama, DeepSeek, and Open Source AI

- Dario’s take “On DeepSeek and Export Controls” https://www.darioamodei.com/post/on-deepseek-and-export-controls

- Data Quality is key - Garbage In, Garbage Out (speculation: Facebook data not nearly as valuable as Twitter or Reddit?)

- Trend of companies not using proprietary models to protect data privacy

- AI Alignment towards truth: how to ensure LLMs show real chain of thought

- The model host matters most - open source models get filtered in dramatically different ways depending on hosting and system prompts

- The value of open source models in preventing brainwashing/mind control

- Learnings from Mutiny that led to Open Secret

- Confidential Computing Explained

- Secure Enclaves moving from the iPhone to the cloud

- OpenSecret is like Apple’s private cloud compute but open source, verifiable, and anyone can use it

- How to craft better prompts (meta-prompting) to get the most out of AI

- How nostr:nprofile1qyshwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0w3uhqetnvdexjur5qyfhwumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetsv9njuetn9uqzphchxfm3ste32hfhkvczzxapme9gz5qvqtget6tylyd7wa8vjecgaq9enl and nostr:nprofile1qyjhwumn8ghj7en9v4j8xtnwdaehgu3wvfskuep0dakku62ltamx2mn5w4ex2ucpxpmhxue69uhkjarrdpuj6em0d3jx2mnjdajz6en4wf3k7mn5dphhq6rpva6hxtnnvdshyctz9e5k6tcqyp7u8zl8y8yfa87nstgj2405t2shal4rez0fzvxgrseq7k60gsrx6zeuh5t verify that a chat is private.

Who could have anticipated that a bunch of insta-thot / boomer-slop posts wouldn't raise benchmarks?

Depends what creates the "negative entropy" that is the hallmark of biological life...

In this case clearly its the organization and health of human cells that prevent the body from becoming a rotting corpse (shifting to positive entropy regime)

N.B. - zombies dont appear to obey 2nd law as they dont seem to run out of energy

Perhaps good advice, but a bit brutal and unfair to the solicitor. To begin with the claim that criticism is a futile endeavor and yet judge the work and artist's character so hashly? To condemn the nec. act of shopping one's work as a sign of inferior spirit? The pettiness of returning the pages themselves like unwanted litter.

Too many people have given Elon a pass. Don't give him a pass.

He's a marketer, not a founder or an engineer. He didn't found PayPal or Tesla; he bought into them early. He's good at selling narratives and equity valuation for perpetually unprofitable companies.

Everything for him is a narrative. His green revolution was a narrative to sell more cars and get more subsidies. His bitcoin purchase was to gain appeal among bitcoin/crypto people in a bull market. And he shilled doge like a dumbass. His SpaceX narrative is to get money from the government.

His rooftop solar thing was an outright scam; the technology isn't ready and went nowhere because of that. His full-self-driving-in-an-intermediate-term timeline was a scam, and is going nowhere because of that. He makes scams to draw people and capital in, because for him it's all about narratives and equity valuation.

And then he dug unproductive holes, suggested unproductive hyper-tubes, built meme flamethrowers, for what? It's a narrative, not a business. None of this is real productive shit to make peoples' lives better.

His latest "we need free speech" narrative was a scam too. He tapped into something real, which is what marketers do and why it kind of worked. Yes, we need free speech. Yes, Twitter had censorship issues. He saw that and jumped on it maliciously rather than productively.

But what did he replace it with? He replaced it with arbitrary journalist censorship about his private jet, arbitrary censorship of Substack, selective Twitter Files release, won't talk seriously about any of his China connections because Xi Jinping fucking owns him economically there like Jack Ma, has his balls firmly in his grasp, etc.

Elon's playing the narrative, the anti-woke meme of the day. He's a master meme-momentum-player. Don't fall for it.

This rings false to me because if Elon just "wanted to get everyone to like him" wouldn't he be doing what Mackenzie Bezos is doing with her money?

Namely dumping the money into fashionable and socially approved NGOs that seem to all inexorably lead to more regulation and social division.

The amount of money Mackenzie and others like Dustin Moskovitz have been dumping into these culture war starters is actually far larger than what the sum total of what "the government gave Elon". And look what that investment gave the government: a capsule that just brought back the astronauts. Flashy, sure, but it's harder to argue it's not real tangible value he focuses on creating.

if your thinking of a last minute valentine's day gift, your sweetheart will love some e-cash!

Marc Andressen just called out Nostr on Joe Rogan as Jack Dorsey's third attempt at a free speech platform.

Marc: its now called BlueCry

Joe: ahh!

Marc: now hes got nostr

Joe: what?

Marc: nostr, n-o-s-t-r...
