grateful for the @artblocks_io crew, spearheading another AB Weekend this week in Marfa TX and v honored the curation crew at @glitchmarfa has the opportunity to show new code-based work from one of my fav artists @mpkoz this friday, october 23rd @ 8:00 PM mpkoz's new collection ‘Believers’ is about religion and technology where in both, people create systems outside of themselves and surrender some degree of knowledge and agency placing trust in intelligence we cannot fully see or understand historically, religious stained-glass objects operated as representations and filters between reality and the realm beyond so too do @mpkoz’s twelve ‘Believers’ twelve sculptures, each with their own distinct color palette and composition, randomly dictated by code painstakingly constructed by the artist in physical form and paired with an associated art object on the @ethereum blockchain this friday at 8:00 PM (CT), join us at @glitchmarfa in the cathedral where you’ll witness a ritual, through which one of you will ascend in a live performance constructed by @magey_mage x @mpkoz, in partnership with the @glitchmarfa curation team all twelve pieces will be on display at @glitchmarfa fire off a DM to me or our team to learn more ❤️

CLAUDE FOUND THE SEEDS anthropic.com/research/ecdsa…

I'm increasingly partial to the argument that increases in the fed funds rate will do little to lower inflation, and may be counterproductive. - AI investment is unlikely to slow because interest rates are slightly higher - Energy is highly inelastic and rate changes can't alleviate the current supply shock - Higher rates hurt supply-side solutions in housing, energy, autos, and other capital intensive industries - Higher borrowing costs raise business operating expenses, some of which is passed along to consumers - A large percentage of debt is fixed-rate, dampening the feedback loop but hurting new homeowners, small businesses, and investment - An economy increasingly dominated by services is less sensitive to rate changes - This century has repeatedly demonstrated how blunt interest rate policy can be, both in stimulating inflation when it's low and suppressing it when it's high

also important news we fixed the writing

“we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models.” i mean props to them for straight coming clean. (so far the proof looks more along the lines of another euler blowup proof we had, off of whose ansatz naming we were making really stupid puns like “smooth criminale”, unlike the much better “ideal fluids explode”, Tristan) so i’ll now give a bit on my thinking here. i actually woulda been pumped to collaborate on this, there are a lot of people at oai i like (ok, clearly some were indirectly dicks to me because of being part of the whole situation, but im a big boy, i still like them), idgaf about authorship on that step anyway, coulda been me Tristan and every fte at oai for all i care (on that Tristan would disagree:p). but on hearing the loud convo in the hallway, especially the part where a millennium prize was offered if i’d just be removed from the paper, it was kinda clear the die had been cast and things were locked. pretty wacky, unstrategic, and unnecessary, since on my side things were mostly me and claude having a good time yoloing random stuff in the corner rather than anything institutional. i also like the idea of the labs cooperating, and even better on scientific progress. it’s a shame!

We congratulate Levent Alpöge and Tristan Buckmaster on their remarkable mathematical work. We (the researchers and the agents) did not see any of their work through any means until they released it publicly — in particular, no specific user data was accessed in order to solve this problem. While unlikely, we cannot rule out that de-identified data derived from their usage of our products helped improve our models. However, our proofs differ significantly and even the precise results proved are different in the Euler case (forced vs. unforced).

It's hard to believe it's already been 11 years. On July 30 2015 we launched Ethereum from a small scrappy office in Berlin's Kreuzberg. So much has changed since then. Ethereum has undergone so many transformations yet one thing stays the same. Ethereum is the world computer.

aw shit. here we go again.

it’ll take me longer to process all of this than it did to create the collection itself. but for now, I can say thank you. anything written here would not suffice for the gratitude that envelopes every cell in my body currently. to the folks who reached out prior to the drop with well wishes. those that spent time with the collection in any capacity. to the people who ended up winning one. to glitch the fucking best partners in history. to transient. to anyone whose ever read a single word by me. or enjoyed a single smile from a stupid meme. or departed reality for a moment in an animation. I created things for so long in a vacuum of unbridled isolation for so long, it’s a really special thing to have found people who enjoy the things I make. and make things of their own. or collaborate through shared stories of midwestern depravity or happy nostalgia. thank you. die

"toppled statues cherishing the destruction of permenance" Stoked to add this beast to my collection. Thank you deeply @toadswiback, and of course @derekedws, @magey_mage, @maltefr_eth, and all the @glitchmarfa team. Going to be hard to top this one.

is there something between us knowing that dying is not enough @toadswiback

dying is not enough 'the next 1000x' by @glitchmarfa the first, last, and only episode @toadswiback x @derekedws

Yesterday was my last day at the Ethereum Foundation. Today we are launching EthSystems. We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum. I've spent close to a decade building privacy infrastructure in crypto: p2p messaging at @ethstatus, developing Waku protocols at Vac (both now part of @logos_network), mobile proving tooling with @zkmopro, teaching zero-knowledge proofs with my zkintro primer, and advising @ethereumfndn on privacy and access layer strategy. Most of that was aimed at individuals. The past year at EF's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) we've been looking at privacy for institutions. On the surface this might seem different, but there are a lot of similarities. There's also a very strong market need for it, and the timing is right. I've written in the past about the tension and overlap between cypherpunks and institutions. Twitter is not exactly the best medium for nuance, but right now we are at a sensitive point in time: the defaults for the next generation of financial infrastructure are being set, with or without us. I believe we need cypherpunks in the room when that happens. Excited to start @eth_systems together with my co-founder @motypes and @_rymnc as part of the founding team. See quoted announcement thread for more details. xitter.cf/eth_systems/status/207…

when will you realize that dying is not enough @toadswiback x @glitchmarfa

seventy five 1/1 artworks on ethereum no reserve auction open: July 14 @ 9:00 AM (PT) close: July 15 @ 6:00 PM (PT)

glitch Gallery is proud to announce that the namesake artwork from @toadswiback 'dying is not enough' has been acquired by @Blondie23LMD x @RaoulGMI on behalf of 'Something Bigger' for 50 ETH. All other seventy five 1/1 artworks will be made available via no reserve auction starting July 14th @ 9:00 AM (PT). The 'dying is not enough' namesake work is a concentrated expression of the larger collection's central theme. It gathers the emotional core of the project into a single loop - every lost memory, every feeding-tube drip, every quilt falling to the floor, every machine hum, every flower in the waiting room, every hand reaching for what remains. It is a meditation on loss, memory, erosion, and the strange persistence of being remembered after the self has begun to disappear. dying is not enough
