  • I mean, the hat is black.

    BlackHat doesn't mean 'bad guy' inherently, it means using bad means to achieve your goals. Like astroturfing to convince the people of something that is totally correct anyway and they're too dumb to understand. Or in this case, "we are looking at a simple trade against personal liberty — abortion, the rights of gay and trans people, and possibly democracy itself — in favor of crypto, AI, and a tax policy they like better."

    The guy who owns the company that makes Eliza is directly working with Musk, on the board of Meta, and has written a has written a techno-optimist manifesto for effective accelerationism.

    It's their MO. Effective accelerationists like Andreessen are ushering on the Dark Enlightenment envisioned by Curtis

    "American democracy should be replaced by what he calls a “monarchy” run by what he has called a “C.E.O.”

    And plenty of people seem to be onboard.

    Tokenized, Inc: BlackRock's Plan To Own The Fractionalized World: “Markets don’t like uncertainty. Markets like, actually, totalitarian governments… Democracies are very messy.”

  • You can know that bit is true. Marc Andreessen is behind that company. He is on the board of META. He is currently hiring for DOGE for Elon. He wants to accelerate us into a monarchy run by a CEO so we can achieve ASI quicker and follows Curtis Yarvis' dark enlightenment. And he's backing a twitter disinfo bot? lol come on.

    Studies on the twitter algorithm show its been manipulated, elon silencing his critics, aligning with autocrats, etc is all public. There is very little unconfirmed in this article it just ties it together.

  • Very odd though, no? Why would they use a Trump bot as the public example?

    We already have hard proof for most of the other stuff, I guess someone could’ve seen the example and fabricated the article based on our shared knowledge. But I think that falls into the ‘nothing ever happens’ box

  • Is a bit odd the json example is of a Trump troll.

    We know most of these things are true anyway, we seen him do it in real time. Push himself to the top of the feed, align with autocrats, censor his critics, etc. There’s nothing too surprising in here.

  • Why does the ceasefire and gaza matter when the genocide is going full steam ahead in the west bank? Genocide Joe could've got the ceasefire agreed on those terms too without taking $100m from Adelson for the privlege

  • I mean, don’t friend, or put high trust on people you don’t know is pretty strong. Due to the “six degrees of separation” phenomenon, it scales pretty easily as well. If you have stupid friends that friend bots you can cut them off all, or just lower your trust in them.

    Know IRL? Seems it would inherently limit discoverability and openness. New users or those outside the immediate social graph would face significant barriers to entry and still vulnerable to manipulation, such as bots infiltrating through unsuspecting friends or malicious actors leveraging connections to gain credibility.

    “Post-turing” is pretty strong. People who’ve spent much time interacting with LLMs can easily spot them. For whatever reason, they all seem to have similar styles of writing.

    Not the good ones, many conversations online are fleeting. Those tell-tale signs can be removed with the right prompt and context. We're post turing in the sense that in most interactions online people wouldn't be able to tell they were speaking to a bot, especially if they weren't looking - which most aren't.

  • It has adjustable block size and computational cost limits through miner voting, NiPoPoWs enable efficient light clients. Storage Rent cleans up old boxes every four years. Pruned (full) node using a UTXO Set Snapshot is already possible.

    Plus you don't need to bloat the L1, can be done off-chain and authenticated on-chain using highly efficient authenticated data structures.

  • Yes but it's still there when I reintroduce some rational. I can see the anger emerge as I get closer to hitting their internal contradictions. Mike Pence and his words on what happened on Jan6 is an easy shortcut to constitution-loving patriots who didn't have an issue with the coup.

  • Silk Road wasn’t the first darknet market ya know. I helped launch the first couple that were .onion prior to Ross, but the movement has been about since the 90s at least and would’ve happened without any of us. We were working on a decentralised version that would've been unstoppable but people moved on and got other priorities when SR took all the media attention and spotlight. I'm guessing it'll emerge out crypto soon now the tech has caught up with the theory.
