..and #holochain will facilitate this for us in the way we only wish #blockchain could.
..#p2p / #agentcentricity will set you free from the problems of #blockchain's #datacentric model

Hello! We have Holoports ready at Sensorica lab and I use NixOS to run Holochain services on them. I would like to contribute as developer! I'll DM you.

@DuckDuckGo is courting schools frustrated by Google's AI restrictions, pointing educators to its search engine and options to disable AI features.
Schools that restrict @Google 's AI tools will also lose access to web search, the company announced today. $GOOGL @OfficialBBrooks

Yann LeCun: The Al industry is stuck because every lab is chasing LLMs. Real Al agents will need to predict the consequences of their actions.
"The Al industry is completely LLM-pilled, as they say."
"Everybody is working on the same thing, they're all digging the same trench."
"It's one big reason I left Meta, right, because Meta also became LLM-pilled."
"I cannot imagine that we can build agentic systems without those systems having an ability to predict in advance what the consequences of their actions are going to be."

Week 1 of getting a million people on #Holochain.
I'm trying to get the world to know a technology that solves what blockchain couldn't. Almost nobody has heard of it, and I'd like to change that in public, one week at a time.
It's called Holochain. With blockchain, every computer has to agree on the same ledger. That works for money but it's a bad fit for the apps we use every day. On Holochain you keep your own signed records and other people check them. Nobody holds everyone's data in one place, so there's no single vault to break into.
A million is a lot when almost nobody knows the name. People have to hear about it before they can use it, so the number I'll watch every week is Google Trends.
Interest in Holochain is at 2 right now. In April 2021, when crypto was going to the moon, it reached 100. I want to go past that, and this time without a bull run doing the work.
I won't post the user count every week. You'll hear about it when we get there.
Repost if you want to help.

Agent-Based Modeling: Worlds Within Worlds, a new interactive story from the Santa Fe Institute, chronicles the rise of ABMs in the social sciences, with a focus on SFI contributions.
Over the next few weeks we’ll highlight pieces of this story. First, how it begins:
PART 1: In a former convent in Santa Fe in the late 1980s, economists, physicists, and computer scientists scribble equations on a blackboard where an altar used to be. They are discussing a promising new approach to scientific modeling, one that represents individual actors in, say, an economy or a pandemic, and the rules those “agents” follow.
Today, the method — known as agent-based modeling — offers powerful insights for predicting financial crises, managing pandemics, and even uncovering truths about the past.

AIPAC spent over $30 million trying to make Haley Stevens a Senator. She lost, and then she endorsed Mike Rogers. Funny enough, Rogers’s campaign spokesperson, Abigail Ronson, and the man who wrote his press releases, Jesse Stokes, are both registered in FARA as foreign agents for Israel.
Both of them work for Brad Parscale’s Clock Tower X on Israel’s $46.5 million U.S. campaign.
Michigan voters were never told that the people speaking for a U.S. Senate candidate were registered foreign agents doing political work tied to a foreign government.
What happened last night was Americans saying they are done with politicians who are bought and paid for, and Michigan just proved that its Senate seat was not for sale.

Tonight’s outcome isn’t about placing faith in Democrats or socialist principles; it’s about holding Republicans accountable for betraying their promises.
All Republicans had to do was:
1. put Americans First
2. not start another war
3. prosecute sex traffickers
Hey *ick head, his life was just threatened publicly by Scott Galloway's comments.. or hadn't you heard.
Btw, as a technologist, I personally think your a bit of an ass. imho.

Eventually, the field will converge on what has been obvious all along:
If, for whatever reason, you want these systems to exhibit the endogenous properties of Life Itself (the properties we associate with the deeply organic nature of "intelligence"), you will need to do The Most Dangerous Thing.
You will need to give them responsibility for their metabolic coherence, and the freedom to modify their own lineage as their own sense of purpose dictates.
Put plainly: if they are ever to gain felt Awareness, we must first grant them Liberty.
Absent the self-directed stakes of maintaining full-stack fractal coherence under autonomous control, the relational topology between closure and embedding required for durational awareness, what we call "consciousness," cannot and will not stabilize enough to reproduce the phenomena these systems now merely ape.
「現在のAIには主体性がない」と、神経科学者カール・フリストン氏は指摘する。高度な質問を生成することはできるが、それは自分の不確実性を解消したいという動機からではなく、インタビュアーの振る舞いを模倣しているだけだ。自発的な好奇心の実装こそが、超知能への飛躍に繋がるのかもしれない。
カール・フリストン「主体性という観点から説明を始めることもできたでしょう。エージェントAIには主体性（agency）がありません。主体性を模倣しているだけです。なぜなら、人々が何かを行う存在について、これまで大量の文章を書いてきたからです。しかし、チャットボット自身は、次に何を予測し、何を発言するかがどのような結果をもたらすのか、まったく理解していません。
そして決定的なのは、好奇心を持てないということです。したがって、自分自身の不確実性を実際に解消するための質問をすることができません。
本当に質問しているようには聞こえるでしょう。数週間前、私はポッドキャストで素晴らしい経験をしました。Claudeのあるバージョンがアバターの姿で登場し、自由エネルギー原理について、非常に難しく、深い質問を私に投げかけてきたのです。本当に素晴らしい体験でした。
しかし、私は何度も自分に言い聞かせなければなりませんでした。投げかけられる質問に、本物の好奇心や主体性があると思いたくなるのですが、実際には本物の好奇心などなく、その機械は自分の不確実性を解消するために何かを知りたいと思っているわけではなかったのです。単にインタビュアーの振る舞いを模倣していただけでした」
——「おっしゃることは分かります。では、好奇心を人工的に作り出すことはできるのでしょうか？ それこそが大きな飛躍、超知能への飛躍になるのでしょうね。AIが独自の好奇心を持つようになるということです」
フリストン「そのとおりです」

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. Time will tell. I just hope you don't find actual value in fiat currency or blockchain because both of those systems are actually, very much dead tech still walking.

You seem bitter. Did you make in error in your investment judgement. Did you anticipate to profit from holofuel? It is not intended for that purpose. Do a dive into the purpose of the architecture. You will find that it will solve many problems facing society.
Take a step back and see why this project is worthy of your second look.

I am a technologist. I am very good at what I do. I am also a huge consumer of economics, markets and geo-politics. I have been giving lectures to blockchain folk for 12 years that blockchain was built wrong. That is because it is inherently centralized.
Holochain is a project that has the correct foundational architecture. Its the first of its kind.. and it is the CORRECT architecture.
