Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI).

ZCash is having a governance debate thanks to @maxdesalle, @zooko, @matthuang and others. It's a perennial debate because everything DeSalle says about the weakness of governance institutions is correct and yet when it comes to public goods, externalities and increasing returns--all of which are critical for ZCash-there is very little choice but a governance institution. N.B. All DeSalle says also applies to firms! Firms are islands of central planning. Central planning is inefficient. So shouldn't people who appreciate markets want to get rid of firms?! No. The boundary between firms and the… Quoting @matthuang A few thoughts on ZCash (disclosure: Paradigm is an investor in ZEC and ZODL): - All blockchain ecosystems struggle with long-term funding, especially of public goods, and an inflation-funded developer fund is an elegant mechanism to do so. How this fund is allocated is a fair debate, and we should… Related

Growth tactic #13: "🎈Go anti-professional: One of the most viral LinkedIn posts of all time came from a manager who swapped her corporate headshot for a casual, no-makeup photo. Pick a norm of your own and break it in public. You might talk about how much roles actually pay or admit that a big launch didn’t actually meet internal expectations. People are tired of perfectly curated, glossy exteriors of the professional world, so a bit of human messiness will stand out." More here: lennysnewsletter.com

During the weekend I built a contextual search tool for a photo library with 42k images across 2.8k galleries. The results are amazing! Turns out the AI models that generate embedding vectors from images directly are BAD at capturing the image contents, so I had to first generate captions and then generate the embeddings for the captions instead. Total cost: $30 for both captions (gpt-5-mini) and embeddings (text-embedding-3-large with 3072 dimensions). OpenAI Related

What is wrong with @instagram! Someone has created a fake profile of a friend, registering the exact same username as his, with an added underscore at the end. So username is main account, username_ is the fake one. The fake profile's photo is copied from main, even original photos of friend himself have been lifted and posted as their own. I've never seen a more blatant impersonation. And they're reaching out to his friends asking for money. A bunch of us reported the fake profile for impersonation, and Instagram refused to take any action. Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
