Bitcoin & 🫂 Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of “harm”.

Hmm, thinking about this, if we just save the embeddings vector for each post (the potentially tricky part) and profile, and then each query gets an embedding and then we find the post+profile distance - maybe all of that requires about as much compute cost as a single token generation.

On the one hand we need to remember that running a few prompts for nearly free isn’t the same as running thousands - millions per day for nearly free.

On the other, maybe these embeddings are quite cheap compared to token generation.

I wonder how much they cost exactly in compute

I don’t want anyone to get hit by a car. But I also don’t think I’ve heard of anyone who watched the trial and videos who thinks Kyle should be seen as guilty for anything other than unwisely heading into trouble.

At least some of this is an increase in living standards - which all else equal would produce these results

Yeah I think this is a good point. We should expect behavior to be different. Burning problems will still be solved, but sure some marginal ones won’t be. That might be worth the freedom that a no IP world would enjoy. And that world might even be better off in other ways.

Also, people do work for fame and glory in addition to money, and those other two ain’t going anywhere

Hmm, I believe patents aren’t used for trade secrets like the above example for exactly that reason. They are only used when there is a likelihood that people are going to figure it out the secret in the process of making money on it. If obfuscation is possible, it works better than patents.

It will *be* society

On the one hand as a user, I’d love the memory augmentation that would come from having an AI helping me with and recording everything I do. Imagine the benefits such an assistant would give its owner. But would I truly be the owner? And the externality would be all the recording of people around me :/

How would you feel knowing that the robot assistants that follow your friends around are observing you passively and cataloging your words and emotional states in an long-lasting database?

Not JIF, that’s for sure 😅

Shouldn’t need to scan it if you’ve pressed the copy button. Once you do, paste should work. Have you done each of those?
