Read_744 – How To Position for the Bitcoin Boom, Part 2 [Adamant Research]

"Investing in bitcoin, we believe, is like having the ability to buy shares of a general “Internet ETF” back in the early 1990s, or like being able to buy undeveloped land on Manhattan Island at the start of the Industrial Revolution—it’s the opportunity of a lifetime." — Adamant Research Today we finish yesterday's incredible report…

Read_743 – How to Position for the Bitcoin Boom, Part 1 [Adamant Research]

"bitcoin is a protocol stack which we can expect to be expanding for many decades, and its foundation is that lean, simple database defended by the world’s strongest firewall; the bitcoin blockchain.

Ai Read_000 – Google “We Have No Moat…”

“These contributions were pivotal in the image generation space, setting Stable Diffusion on a different path from Dall-E. Having an open model led to ⁠product integrations⁠, ⁠marketplaces⁠, ⁠user interfaces⁠, and ⁠innovations⁠ that didn’t happen for Dall-E. The effect was palpable: ⁠rapid domination⁠ in terms of cultural impact vs the OpenAI solution, which became increasingly irrelevant. Whether the same thing will happen for LLMs remains to be seen, but the broad structural elements are the same.”
~ Anonymous Google Employee

While I wasn’t sure whether I would bring the “read” format to this podcast, there was just too much great material to cover and I felt I would do a disservice if I didn’t make it available for the audience who wants to dive into this stuff with me fully, rather than be satisfied with a summary. So I felt the best option for a flagship read, was the article that finally tipped me over the edge to start Ai Unchained. A leaked document from a Google employee seeing the trends and compounding effects of the open source Ai movement, titled “We Have No Moat, and Neither Does OpenAI.” Get ready for a great read, and the shows first Guy’s Take…

Read_739 – The State of Zapvertising [The Same Cat]

"Zapvertising has two forms, and I believe there is a crucial difference between the two. In one version, a company or creator zaps a ton of notes on the Nostr feed. Blockstream has done this for a couple of days at a time, to great success. It is very unobtrusive. Just a gentle reminder that…

Ai_003 – The Dark Side of Ai with Alex Lewin

Ai may be able to make us vastly more productive, far more creative, and orders of magnitude more dangerous. As Ai moves into the realm of creating hierarchies of tasks to accomplish larger goals, combined with the unparalleled scalability of its execution, a broad, self-spreading and malicious Ai becomes frighteningly more possible by the day. Like a wildfire burning out of control, what could be the consequences, how bad could a hypothetical scenario get, and what, if anything, can we do about it?
Don’t miss this incredible conversation with Alex Lewin, bringing a software development and cyber security perspective to the show, to shine a light on the dark side of Ai
