It really depends on what you mean by AI. If by AI you mean the standard LLMs everybody uses day to day then you’re probably right for a while.
But there’s more to AI than just the chat interfaces we’re used to. For example DeepMind published some research on how they trained a system that leveraged LLMs in a unique way and found it was capable of solving novel math and computer science problems [1].
DeepMind also trained AlphaGo which famously showed creativity in its game against Lee Se Dol that puzzled experts who initially thought it was a blunder.
Don’t forget that just 3 years ago everyone was debating whether a machine could pass the Turing test and today nobody even thinks about that anymore.

Something I’m excited about if I understand your Safebox correctly is the ability to store a full backup of your phone on relays so you can carry a fresh device across tyrannical borders and restore on the other side.
This can be done with bitcoin wallets and your social graph already but for general purpose storage on Nostr I think Safebox can be a natural building block for a full digital identity backup.

@npub1wnl…n3wr question about FPPS.
Suppose you wanted to drain that pool and punish it for using the FPPS model. Is it possible for a group within the pool to mine their templates but withhold submitting a solved block so that they keep getting paid the subsidy but the pool loses revenue?
If enough of their hashrate does this then the pool goes bust unless they can manage securing funds some other way. Or perhaps that’s already happening and hence why FPPS pays out up to 30% less than expected (according to your findings at Ocean)?
Sorry for the newb question.

As long as the runtime script is blinded from the machine running it and you can prove that nobody can witness the private key then you can also have the script perform arbitrary computation and verifiably be rewarded with a UTXO.

Are Cashu mints strictly better than FediMints? With Fedi you have the same exact custodial risk because there’s still a single operator for the lightning gateway, but you also have the group of guardians adding friction.
Seems like having all the guardians running their own Cashu mints and spreading your ecash between them all is preferable.

I started working on one but didn’t get far because… life.
The idea: you run this service that connects to a set of relays and streams all the notes from your web into Kafka. Then you have a consumer group for processing (e.g. sending to an LLM for classification, labeling, etc). Then publish to another topic and have 2 consumer groups listening: one that streams to websocket connections and another for storage.
I used Kafka so eventually you could have commercial relays doing this for many users. It was going to use langchain-go and Ollama by default but obviously can use ChatGPT or Claude if needed.
Another reason for using Kafka is that you can have so many concurrent processors. For example I planned to generate embeddings for each note and store it in a vector database so users could do search too.

I’m not expecting anything. I’m saying we learn from each attack and the more notice we get the better.
The situation @npub1utx…50e8 describes is strictly better than a scenario where nobody ever telegraphs the attacks in advance. It’s a common practice in cybersecurity called “red teaming” and helpful if well intentioned people attack before malicious ones do.

2024-09-26 23:28:12

Wonder if we could use OpenTimestamps and on-chain keys as a second factor for Nostr authentication. For example you could sign a message attesting to your ownership of an npub with a key to one of your UTXOs and stamp it and then publish it on Nostr in your profile.
Use case: suppose your nsec becomes compromised and you want to inform your web of trust to swap out your npub for a new one. We need an independent and decentralized way to differentiate the correct npub from an attacker’s.
Seems better than NIP-05 which is DNS based.

For anyone into taking notes try adding them to a vector database so you can query them with natural language rather than stuffing SEO keywords and labels into them for searchability.
You can use local models via something like Ollama [1] to generate the embeddings and store them in a DB. I’ve been playing around with Qdrant [2] running in Docker and found it easy to setup.

There’s a new alternative to DiLoCo [1] for training large scale AI models over the internet called DisTro [2]. It enables low latency training on low bandwidth communication channels (ie. slow internet).
Methods like these are a crucial component for enabling a decentralized AI system that rivals the big tech companies and nation state actors.
The next step is to figure out monetary rewards for contributing to training and inference. The tricky part is to weed out bad training data in a decentralized way. Perhaps we could use something like a “mempool” for training data batches?

My degree is in applied math so I’ve had to lazy load a CS degree over the years. I’ve been a backend engineer my whole career though. At times doing machine learning but these days it’s mostly “medium data” (2-3 PB) pipelines and storage solutions. No kernel work although I’d like to get my hands dirty with eBPF and the like.
I’ll definitely be reaching out as I’m playing with Pallas! My dream is to have something like this as the foundation for a decentralized AI model where, for example, anyone could download a binary and contribute to training and/or running a very large LLM running on Nostr. Perhaps a combination of OpenDiLoCo [1] and Pallas could work. The idea being that millions of people collaborating to train and run frontier models is likely a better world than one where only a couple companies can afford the compute.

Doing as little as possible in the runtime makes a lot of sense. Less overhead, less to maintain, etc.
As for the freshness, I was originally thinking perhaps latency sensitive function calls might pose a problem if the process crashes and recovers seconds later and responds with data that’s no longer relevant. Given these are pure functions it makes total sense to just pass along the timestamp (or increment a counter) and these considerations are going to be app dependent anyway.
I’m really excited about this project and plan to experiment with it in the near future. The docs are well written too. Thank you for the work and the thoughtful response!

2024-08-09 01:52:22

Thinking more in this: since functions treat memory and storage interchangeably and can be restarted at arbitrary points then does state have timestamps as a first class citizen? Meaning: if my function is sensitive to data freshness then can I easily discern fresh from stale?

We need to align the incentives of relays with those of the consumers or we’ll have the same predatory models evolve here too.
Consumers are accustomed to getting “free” services. The relays who can cater to that habit by monetizing their consumption without charging them directly will have an economic advantage. We can fix this, and I’m optimistic, but not sure how to do it.

If your jurisdiction labels you an unlicensed money transmitter you simply quit and your users won’t notice a difference. Funds still move.
If one guardian wants to retire then the mint can still function and lightning payments can still be routed.
Seems to be a more stable solution albeit you now have a custodian.

The big AI shops have access to a lot of the internet’s content from the era before LLM proliferation. This is one motivating factor for why they release models publicly: more AI generated content on the internet creates a moat around their data.
By training and releasing these open source models they create a sort of fog of war for people that come after them since training on AI generated content distorts the output distribution of your model. They’re effectively polluting the digital environment or at least enabling others to do it because it benefits their business model.
Webs of trust are going to become even more important for us as they’ll reduce some of the noise. We need more solutions to this problem though.

During neutron star core collapse, the quark gluon plasma must be, as far as we know, locally constrained by the Uncertainty principle. As the core collapses the position of other particles is further constrained while being accelerated and therefore have higher uncertainty in momentum.
However, the uncertainty in momentum is bounded above by some finite multiple of c. Momentum can’t grow unbounded because that implies infinite energy. Acceleration is limited by the energy available locally which is that of itself, neighboring particles, and local vacuum energy: all finite.
How then can the quark gluon plasma degenerate into a singularity of infinitesimal size? Maybe they “fuse” and become a single “particle” (in quotes because particles are fuzzy objects to begin with) of nonzero “volume”? Maybe this is what the holographic principle is saying but I can’t make any sense of AdS-CFT correspondence 😩.
Once you have a single particle there’s no gravitational attraction to continue the collapse. Of course from afar other massive objects continue to feel gravitational attraction but locally you have a single particle.
Some might say “the uncertainty principle breaks down at these extremes. Our model isn’t valid in this regime” and fair enough! However, I would argue that that’s an artifact of the model (the commutator of specific linear operators on a Hilbert space). Maybe spacetime isn’t a complete vector space but at our observable scale it approximates one.
The uncertainty principle is just an approximation of what happens in reality. I’m not aware of any experiments proving it breaks down at the Planck scale. I argue that whatever quirk of nature that causes the uncertainty principle is the very thing that prevents black hole singularities from forming.

Block hashes are a good form of entropy that we can all use to sync random number generators.
For example when doing experiments or training AI models. Maybe we can finally fix the reproducibility issue.

It was a play on a quote from “Clerks 2” 😅

Free trade isn’t possible in a fiat economy. Over time only the people closest to the “money printer” are economically relevant.
You may have the illusion of free trade because you’re allowed to buy and sell goods with whomever but in aggregate your signal is drowned out and producers will make decisions independent of you.
Only when the economy uses a neutral currency can we return to free trade and rational economic behavior.
