Read_789 – Can Appreciating Bitcoin Be a Good Money?

"Bitcoin appears to be a decentralized Ponzi scheme not a decentralized currency. People don't spend it because they want it to go up. The dollar works because of inflation. It keeps velocity up like hot potato. If you want to store value silver gold and land. Because it's beautiful useful and valuable. Bitcoin is a…

Ai_012 – A Big Leap Forward for Local LLMs

The models, the tools, the implementations, everything is moving incredibly fast.
But a very interesting trend that I’ve been seeing, is that the open source benchmarks are improving just slightly faster than the closed source alternatives. Slowly but surely, they are catching up.
The day may come where the open source models are the best models, the ones with the greatest number of tools, and the largest variety of implementations, because naturally they’re open and available for everyone to work on.
There have been numerous new developments on running models more efficiently, running larger models on even smaller devices, and doing so with less power and computational overhead, as well as a new advancement in one of my favourite open source models, which may just be a big leap forward for how these are going to evolve moving forward. And that is what today’s episode of AI Unchained is all about.
A big leap for local LLMs.

Read_788 – Stone Ridge 2023 Investor Letter

"Since 2017, bitcoin has been Stone Ridge’s treasury reserve asset because of my extreme aversion to risk. We run net short USD – which is fancy way of saying we net borrow fiat – to pay bills and make investments. We save in bitcoin. It would be impossible to overstate the corporate advantages of being…

Read_787 – Usury, Your Bank, and You

"This decision, which is legally sound, has the effect of declaring all private mortgages on real and personal property, and all U.S. and State bonds held by the Federal Reserve, National, and State banks to be null and void. This amounts to the emancipation of this Nation from personal, national, and state debt purportedly owed…

Reboot – Bitcoin is a Pioneer Species

“This makes Bitcoin miners uniquely symbiotic with energy grids serving as “demand response” partners. If energy is ever in short supply, people get priority over Bitcoin miners. However whenever there is excess energy, it gets monetized. This symbiotic relationship leads to more energy abundance generally.” ~ Brandon Quittem Another great piece coming at you today…

Reboot – Isaiahs Job

"There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and…

Ai_011 – The Fears of Ai

Ai is a powerful tool, and thus, necessarily comes with incredible risk. It could obsolete millions of workers, taking jobs and productive capacity away from humans and consolidate it into corporations. It could make the average individual too dangerous, putting incredible power into the hands of bad people. It may even present an existential threat to humanity, a veritable nuclear bomb, made available to everyone in the world…
What could all of this mean? Doesn’t it suggests we need to tightly control, license, and scrutinize access to these base tools? Or is there an underlying philosophy exposed by these fears, and a more prudent, and honest course of action? find out in today’s Ai Unchained episode!

So now a lot of that is actually a technological story and I don't think it gets covered enough because most people covering it. Historians and economists aren't necessarily looking at the lens…
