How would you get a small cylinder (5.1 in length, -5.4in girth) unstuck from a robotic lamp that's gripping it while it's covered in butter and microwaved mashed banana?

Assuming each Starling can store 14kb and the Bitcoin blockchain is 674 Gigabytes we simply need to breed 48 million Starlings to put the blockchain on birds.

when I was 16 I cornered the market on fishfeed for about a week and was the only supplier on the english speaking internet in the early 2000s a family friend had a huge home aquarium, wall to wall floor to ceiling with sharks and eels and shit. I think he was a coke dealer. I helped him maintain it through junior high school and was spending a lot of time on a forum called reefcentral learning about lighting systems, taking care of the fish he had, and helping him source 50 pound bags of bulk fishmeal. i realized how much money was involved all this and started flipping chinese spirulina powder and shrimp meal on ebay and reefcentral that I was buying for nothing on alibaba, and printing out labels to cover theirs that said FishFeed International. I was probably clearing a few hundred dollars a week, nothing crazy but I was 16 this guy on the buy/sell forums said he needed two metric tons of protein and I figured he was trolling but I told him I could get as much as he wanted, so I tried to set up a direct shipment between the source I was buying from on alibaba and him. But they wouldn't give me that much credit without a registered importer, so I used my FishFeed International name and my friends marine contracting license and we took 15% off the top just for brokering it within a couple of weeks the buy/sell forums were all posts like that trying to get tons of fishmeal. Everyones suppliers were either raising prices or totally out. I tried to repeat the arbitrage but the seller on alibaba was asking for prepayment up front and the other sellers I tried wanted insane prices I thought it was over, but at the time the most replied to post on reefcentral was a petition for trying to stop krill harvesting near scotland, it seemed like a lost cause to me and I went looking to see if there was a way to buy the krill. Back then the internet sucked and it wasn't uncommon to find open FTP servers. I found the backend of the government bidding system for the krill harvest and just edited FishFeed International into the bidding spreadsheet with an order for 12 metric tons. I didn't really realize how insane that volume was but I had just sold 2 tons and there were posts all over the forums asking for more. Later I learned the guy who bought the 2 tons was supplying a bunch of zoos The krill harvest came in just as la nina peaked and a huge storm hit the whole west side of south america. Anchovy prices exploded and the fishmeal stock was gone. People were begging for supply on reefcentral and nobody had any there was no exchange or pricing structure , i just said i had a bioequivalent substitute and started taking orders quoting people 10x a normal price, nobody blinked. I got $20k worth of orders in the first day and by the end of the week I had over $300k in my paypal i started forwarding the delivery addresses and weights from the orders to the krill collectors and paid about 1/5th what I was charging on reefcentral for it it maybe lasted three weeks until I ran out of krill to arbitrage and by that point big companies were undercutting me anyway but for a brief moment in time I ruled with an iron fist

I've fired a lot of shots over the last 24 hours but the new @baseapp is clearly the future of crypto and is going to be heavily copied in the next year by competing apps either trying to pivot social into their wallet or pivot wallets into their social app. It's really good

This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed.

What.

If any of you remember my floating data center in the ocean, a company is building a real one nearly two years later. Hyperstition in action.

A company is actually building a real Blue Sea Frontier Compute Cluster, nearly two years later. Hypersititon in action. Fiction bringing idea into reality through memetics. Also, the ship was named Prometheus, Meta is building a 5GW datacenter for AI named Prometheus in Ohio.

This doesn't surprise me, but it should be clear this has large implications for even non misaligned models and data. What I mean is, presumably this also transfers to other biases even if more subtle or socially acceptable. If GPT 4o prefers Obama over Trump or Germany over France, all of its other output presumably will carry that bias. And a ton of information on the internet has been generated with it, and all of the other LLM models over the last few years. So we're creating a kind of perpetual stew where the output of these models is mixing with all out our chatter, and getting fed back into them. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe its kind of a mean reversion as their biases blend into a homogeneous goop. Grok's tantrum the other week might have produced poisoned data that has crazy biases in it. But in another few months that deviation from the mean will get smoothed out with new data. These are vector spaces of hundreds of thousands of dimensions per layer, it shouldn't be too surprising that biases in some areas impact the whole structure and can be transferred or reconstructed.
