I’m sceptical that AI runs away into a vertical singularity.

I’m expecting it to scale horizontally rather than vertically. Although I never see anyone talking / thinking about it like this.

People are still stuck in the framework of IQ is a vertical scalar, therefore all intelligence will scale vertically as IQ does.

Even though we have learnt this is not the case at all when building enterprise level applications.

The tech industry still can’t see the wood for the trees. Wrt AI. Repeating all the vertical scaling assumptions / mistakes of the 1990’s.

Generalisation won’t be achieved with a vertical monolith. It will be achieved through massive parallelisation of discrete specialisations.

ie horizontally and not vertically.

I built large industrial AI models to make physical world predictions from petabytes of laser interferometry data and there were massive strategic learnings from doing that.

I still never see anyone else in public thinking and understanding the space as strategically as we were in 2018. I presume people somewhere have a handle on this, but it’s all behind closed doors. Much of the public consensus is just flat wrong, we went through all the same learnings 5 years ago.

There are some big surprises on the road ahead. Lots of capital is going to be misallocated.

Idea: LN address load balancers with health checks

So cool I can quickly switch to alby or WoS when my lightning node is down and zaps still work. When I get it up again I can just send the sats to my node and switch my lightning address back. Protocols ftw 🙌

Idea: A new social network app where everyone is automatically blocked by default and you have to manually unblock every user before they can interact with you.

JUST IN - 🇸🇻 El Salvador President signs into law legislation that eliminates all taxes on technology innovations 👏

Wow, who didn’t see that coming…?

amazing innovation from the bluesky team 😂😂😂

instant update on zaps ⚡️ to show whether or not have already zapped on notes would be cool, could just fill in the bolt with color post zap

"Subsequently, Coinbase harvests fingerprint data when customers log into their accounts using the required fingerprint scanning technology, accord to the suit."

Fingerprints aren't directly accessible to apps on IOS or Android, are they?

Finally found this in the wild. Whenever I start to feel bad about how shitty my code is I can always remind myself that there are developers out there writing even shittier code on the shittiest of operating systems.

Thankful for everyone who sees the potential for #nostr and continues to be active here. I scrolled my follow list and was a little sad to find so many who have been inactive for upwards of a month or longer. I’m all in on #nostr and I truly believe there’s nothing like it in the world for connecting people and enabling freedom of communication and information sharing. 💜🫂🤙

We will be revisiting this screenshot in about 3 weeks

Shit I keep forgetting that BitBoy is going to Miami and we agreed to fight.
