On the importance of having a Maybe, not just nulls.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org "or" meaning "lightweight" nodes, like mobile/low power devices which come and go, and switch networks on a whim. The alternative is running something like a TOR relay or a torrent seedbox - always-ish connected, perhaps to unknown parties.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org The core idea is that you either connect to a storage swarm (Torrent-style) or to your friend store-and-forward nodes. This way you can have both anonymity and offline messaging.

@reidrac@social.sdf.org #GNUnet ticks many of the right boxes, but its tied with cold fusion with whoever comes first

@wilfredh Does it work as smooth in Windows terminal?

@carnage4life "Skynet becoming self aware and dropping nukes" here is a dog whistle at best. Given your previous posts presenting x-risk mitigation as regulatory capture you seem to be quite dismissive of it.

And, again, it's okay to be near-term focused. There are real people suffering right now. I'm glad someone is working on it.
What I don't get is all the flak people get for their work on anything else besides that.
It's not like they're endangering your efforts or taking away resources from your cause, are they?

@carnage4life why not both? Both are good causes. It's okay to see only immediate picture. It's not okay to dunk on people which position you don't understand.

You can follow Pixelfed accs, no?

@daylightatheism @cstross @alexshendi @Eka_FOOF_A @ct_bergstrom Are you sure you aren't misrepresenting their point?

Bostrom refers to Pascal's Mugging[1], not the original "wager" formulation.

Anyway, the point is to **avoid** racing to unbounded rewards, disregarding any current costs.

That resolves Roko's too, and it was resolved for almost a decade now.

@gmusser @melaniemitchell did the human received the generated message and agreed to perform task?
It is the only thing that matters here. That another human did some copy-pasting is irrelevant.

@melaniemitchell GPT4 in it's chatbot harness didn't. But GPT4.5 in some agent harness can. ARC is about "pretendotyping" some future advancements before it is too late. Hell, even official ChatGPT has plugins now and it is trained to use them.

@eniko The Web was never "ours". It always have been a zero-sum race for network effect. Grow and ~~let grow~~ suck oxygen out of the room, keep your gates closed. "Have an account, install our app, your friends are already here"

The RSS (and related stuff) was a nice thing once and even touted as Web 2.0 too. But instead Twitter happened, then instagram, then...
