@XenuTheLord @IOHK_Charles There are a lot of fast, cheap blockchains coming out. But only Cardano is using a powerfully abstract functional language for smart contracts. Provably correct, secure smart contracts: critical for the future decentralized intelligent Net and only Cardano is delivering that.

1) It doesn't take too much reflection to see these Trump and Parler bans for what they basically are: **A disinformation campaign by Big Tech to distract attention from their ongoing evil role in politics and society in general.** @Plinz

I don't think GPT4 shows "sparks of AGI" in a very useful sense (though given the lack of agreed definition of AGI it's not a totally insane statement). I do think it shows interesting aspects of emergence, which did not emerge in similar systems at smaller scale. It's cool.

Hey @sama why does ChatGPT think I co-founded OpenAI?? Mandela effect?? Or just vector addition on OpenCog + AI + AGI or something? This is even more disturbing than being told I look like Jesus... ;o

As a Hong Kong resident for 9 yrs, who loves HK dearly and has really felt it "home", I can tell you this gov't shuttering of Apple Daily is a really fucking big deal. This is the end of free press in HK, at least for now. Wow.

1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.

I had my second dose of Pfizer vaccine last week. Was sorta hoping to grow a second tail or acquire an irresistible urge to dump all cryptos and buy Microsoft stock or something -- but actually apart from a few hours of mild dizziness, there were no apparent issues...

1) Compassion of (maybe near) future AGIs toward humans: This is certainly an area our science does not yet cover effectively, so we are all going in some measure on intuition. So let me share some of mine...

@elonmusk @tunguz I'm with Elon on this particular point; the guts of our OpenCog Hyperon neural-symbolic-evolutionary AGI framework are coded in Rust for good reasons... We're using Rust in part to code interpreters/compilers for special AGI languages tho. And python here and there for glue ;)

Hydra is a critical part of the Cardano infrastructure, it is a powerful sidechain++ architecture that would not be possible for a blockchain w/o functional-programming thinking at its core, and it will be critical to our AI-focused Hypercycle Cardano sidechain @Hypercycle_AI

Voilà! The first building block being basic Hydra heads, then incremental commits, then inter-head etc... The exact order depends on what people will need and request. In a similar fashion features of the core head are user-driven; so come and tell us what you need.

Hugo de Garis foresaw that, as AGI moved toward reality, the world would be dominated by a war between Terrans and Cosmists.... But what I see in the world right is more like five broad groups, -- TERRANS for real, i.e. folks who want to see tech progress slowed or halted…

Yah SingularityNET is getting into the LLM game with a new decentralized-LLM spinoff, Zarqa -- LLMs aren't going to be the core component of AGI but they're super valuable for loads of applications and can be used toward AGI alongside other AI modules .. such amazing times!!

@CardanoHumpback Hmm... Since I think about Cardano as a software framework/network rather than a financial investment thing, I have no sense of panic at all, just a sense of satisfaction at the increasing capabilities of the code as deployed... and the increasing clarity of the future potential

Belated obvious realization: The "LLM 6 month pause" nonsense benefits OpenAI cuz now they can pause GPT-5 training and look virtuous while meanwhile buying time to figure out how to make GPT-5 at least sorta live up to the hype.... Derp. We be punked folks 8-D
