I snorted with genuine joy at this, then felt weird, and sad, and unsure. These are interesting times, and this is a most excellent take. (paraphrased from Barry's post about his expert read of the GPT4 technical 'book') :
"...ineffective at autonomously replicating, acquiring resources, and avoiding being shut down "in the wild”. Ie - it wasn’t very good at self-replicating, earning money, and refusing to shut-down if it managed to “escape” onto the internet. The bad news element of the situation is that we now live in a world where engineers feel the need to test whether an AI can “escape”!!! That’s not a joke by the way - this is what they were actually testing...."

I think I have too many hose public relays, and maybe too few paid. Can someone clue me up on how to strike a balance please? Are there relays causing too much read load that I should be avoiding?

OK, so it's a size limited, trusted, altcoin, jammed into bitcoin, without a two way peg, but it DOES have an EVM in principle and might eventually be interesting and trustless with the addition of a STARK verifier. Starting to seem like shitcoin word soup and certainly enables shitcoinery and I'm not sure what shitcoins are for so it's all a bit circular. Will sit this one out for now.
