Well that was interesting, I guess a wire transfer to Shakepay flags your bank account but numerous etransfers of the same amount doesnt flag anything.

Had a 5 min chat with the manager at my bank to ensure I no the risks.

Tempted to tell him the risks of fiat but then i would definitely be debanked.

#fiat = permissions needed with my money

#bitcoin - no permissions needed with my money

Pork Belly Burnt Ends Yesterday..... tasted great!

thats a good beginner coffee kit 🤣

i hope to see more of people from #Brazil on Nostr after the X fiasco.

#Nostr = #Freedom

Thanks nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a I appreciate your take and think (even though it might be years away) Nostr is the future of free speech!

Hey,

I'd like to thank you for the recommendation. The Infinite Game was a great read and probably one of my new favs.

I work for a large corporation and I can definitely see they have been playing finite games as of late with there restructuring.

Anyhow, thanks again.

Fair enough!

Your relationship with your children and wife are the most important and spending as much time with your children is going matter the most to you in your later years and wont be something you regret!

I'm really starting to wonder how much politics matter.....

Does it really matter who gets elected in Nov?

Or

Is the world going to get to the same place in relatively the same time frame by possibly a slightly different path?

nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe articulates this much better then i ever could.

but basically for #bitcoin does anything really matter or is it going to happen regardless?

You bring up some good points, while I find some joy in the tit for tat method i have 2 issues with it.

- i want to be the better person and hold myself to a higher standard

- if i did the tit for tat method, we'd actually never get together with anyone likely. - i value my friends and once we are visiting all is good - getting to the visit is the painful frustrating part.

but

I guess what i'm thinking is this is more of a societal problem - where people don't value friendships like they use too probably due to many reasons like

- the system we live in is high time preference

- people work too much

- social media and netflix

while curating friends can help fix this to a degree maybe...... in my experience it seems rather hopeless as people rather relationships that are via text and superficial.

maybe because people are mentally drained from their stressful lives?

anyhow, i guess maybe what im wondering is - is this common where your at?

You bring up some good points and I agree with people quite possibly are lazy too.

What is one thing that frustrates you?

For me there is a vast number of things but one in particular I'd like the #Nostr input on.

Friends - In particular when friends agree to get together and then shortly before (1 hour to 1 day) they inform us it now won't work.

The excuses granted sometimes are believable but lots of times are obvious bullshit.

for context:

- i dont have a huge friends circle but lets say 80% of 15 friends over 10 years this is common with

- probably over 50% of the time with certain friends

- i live in a mid sized city in Canada

- there is no obvious things I can think of on my end to change (that said i'm sure i have flaws)

Your thoughts?

Replying to Avatar Guy Swann

Why I think the idea of “superintelligence” and “AGI” is HEAVILY exaggerated or misunderstood:

Assuming we have Ai much smarter than the average human, smarter than the typical PhD (granted smart and “PhD” are not at all equal but for the sake of simplicity). If (or when) this occurs, this will not mean Ai will just be able to invent whatever we need or make all decisions better than anyone else. And I think all we have to do is look at humans to make this simple assessment —

• If we asked a physicist and a biologist what was the most important thing to focus our time and resources on, do you suspect the physicist would find something related to physics and the biologist would find something biological?

This points to the question of speciality. What an Ai is trained on will determine what and how it values things, and there is no amount of information that will make it perfect and forever aligned with the truth at all times. It will always have a weight toward something, because the question of WHAT to value for training and for dedicating resources is present at all stages. It presupposes that we already have the answer if we assume Ai will just magically come up with it.

• in addition, the answer to “where should we devote resources” isn’t static. It changes year to year, month to month, even minute to minute sometimes. It is a question of value and judgement. The only way to sort out this relationship is through trade and competition, denoting the **necessity** of Ai that compete and exchange data and resources.

• General intelligence is useful, but extremely inefficient. Generalists are great to have for combining and relating ideas, but specialists still down into the true details and do the dirty work of real building and fine tuning of the world. Specialization isn’t just an economic phenomenon, it’s a physical reality of the universe. It will be the same with Ai, because Ai doesn’t defy universal laws, it’s just a computer program.

— A giant, trillion dollar cluster AGI will not be as valuable or produce nearly as good results or decision making capability as 10,000 much smaller and specialized AI’s focused on their own corner and trading resources with others to accomplish their task or test the ideas or paths of progress apparent from their vantage point. Nothing in nature resembles the former.

• Intelligence isn’t an omnipotent, unrestricted power. Mental intelligence isn’t the only kind of intelligence. I think as humans we have become deeply arrogant about the fact that we are “so smart” and we have begun to worship our own intelligence in such a way that if we ever imagine something smarter, then it MUST be God and it must be without any limits or flaws at all. Yet there is nothing to suggest this. The “smartest” people today often have the greatest blinders on, and everyone is only as good as the information they have and the values lens through which they see everything.

While the intelligence explosion will be shockingly disruptive and revolutionary in many ways, and while I do see it as an extremely likely outcome in the rather near future, I think the vision of a giant, all powerful AGI dropped on the world like a nuclear bomb is increasingly a projection of our own ignorance and arrogance. It simply doesn’t hold water, imo.

Covered a lot of these ideas in the 31st episode of Ai Unchained:

interesting take, while im not familiar enough with the space to even guess I truely hope you are right.

Tech innovation is good but i'm not convinced AGI is good.

I try to focus on learning about #bitcoin as from my 3 years of research this is going to revolutionize the world in more ways than we can know!

I just finished listening to Matthew Kratter's "A Beginners Guide to Bitcoin"

It was good, i especially liked the part about setting up your wallets. He hit the main points and even mentioned putting tape on your webcam as you write down your seed words.👍
