For the boost yesterday, I didn't mention forwarding zaps from the main note onto the boosters. Today I'll add that in. So the reward will be what I put up plus whatever the note receives by the time the prism gets paid. It's hard to quantify the overall effect of boosts but certainly getting to interact with more of you versus just posting these things. Some further things to research: whether to unbundle the notes and give them their own prisms, how this works for different boost amounts and split populations.
While running I often have comments and ideas about whatever I'm listening to, but have struggled to find a convenient way to jot them down. Finally got a little voice recorder and made 22 notes on yesterday's run. Time will tell if this is worthwhile. I suspect it will be.
My AI/ML research has brought me to develop a predator-prey simulation. The grand hypothesis is, self-awareness arises naturally from predator-prey relationships. The mini hypothesis is, predators and prey driven by neural nets will naturally co-evolve strategies for survival. In order to enable more dense process representations, neural-network topologies will be managed by a genetic algorithm.
Often in sitcoms the laughs come from a lack of self-awareness of some main character, e.g. Michael Scott. Thinking about self-awareness as a process, I wonder if it being energetically expensive can be a low-level source of anxiety. Childhood is a time when processes are learned and then automated so for those who didn't experience a lot of social interaction as children, self-awareness may be too expensive to perform a lot of.
Be one of the first 10 boosters and you'll get 1000 sats minimum once ten boosts are reached. This is an experiment and your feedback is welcome. I know I'm not the first but I'm interested to learn how these can be used for greatest effect.
