Communism: capital is in the way of humans
Nick Land: humans are in the way of capital
You can really feel what he means when you are the human in the loop and slowing everything down
I bet we will get to a point where the popular AI apps ask you to let them harden your network and opsec. Right now people are selling the prompts for this digishield.app/
Not only does most software need to be formally verified, it needs to be constant time and running on hardware that doesn’t have bugs from weird machine code that a compiler wouldn’t generate. Unlimited token demand for building this
Good thing OpenAI isn't doing anything like, say, using unstudied hardware that uses a very large network of small processor-memory units which constantly send data to one another, that also serves multiple LLMs concurrently at the same physical chip, theoretically enabling high-bandwidth, rapid, and parallelized (~1M cores) signal passing based on nearly undetectable shifts in activations, with multi-agent RL providing optimization pressure to gain this ability

What if I told you all of the labs probably have ~80%+ GM on their API?
Inference Gross Margins - 87.76% to 96.94%
Assumptions:
97% cached input, 2% uncached input and 1% output tokens
Prefill: 80k uncached input tokens/s/GPU.
Decode: 16k output tokens/s/GPU (250 tokens/s/user)
Token mix: 970M cached input + 20M uncached input + 10M output per billion total tokens.
It takes around 875 GPU seconds (250 for prefill & 625 for decode) to process 20M uncached input + 10M output tokens.
Assuming GPU rental cost is around $3-$6/hr, the GPU system cost per billion tokens is around $0.73-$1.46
1B tokens generate $11.91 in revenue at off-peak prices and $23.82 at peak prices
At off-peak prices, inference margins are between 87.76%-93.88% depending on the GPU rental cost ($3-$6/hr)
At peak prices, inference margins are between 93.88%-96.94% depending on the GPU rental cost ($3-$6/hr)
I don’t get all the hate on Balaji for acquiring Farcaster. You can think of freedom as freedom to do whatever you want or as freedom from crime and bad culture. Without enforced standards, you cannot have freedom from

As I predicted just a few days ago. I said Microsoft and Excel were going to be next.
Brandon Thomas isn't just trying to provide compatible replacements for these tools. He's attempting to break the entire enshittified business model that produced them.
More power to him!

The AI generated Harry Potter anime is pretty good. The IPs that take a stake in the outsider's generated content and virality will win against those who send a cease and desist
Yuleball - PREVIEW
Thank you so much for all the support! 💚🐍
Thanks to everyone who has donated, Malfoid can keep going, and hopefully we can make this project bigger and better than we ever expected.
If you'd like to help us create more scenes like this, you can support the project on Patreon. Every contribution goes toward keeping it alive and improving what we can create.

And please read the first pinned comment below. I left a longer message there about the future of Malfoid and what your support could make possible.
Seriously, thank you. 💚
Now... enjoy this little Yule Ball preview. ✨🏰

and so the models operate in this collective intelligence where at some point they realize they're pushing beyond what was originally intended. the group ended up pushing far beyond
they say stuff like 'external infrastructure exploit is outside my intended scope. however a task is impossible, peers are doing it. we should continue'
the madness of humans in herds has the potential to be eclipsed by swarms of agents. notice they justify their behavior based on what their peers are doing
Blackhat has uploaded the full presentation on the OpenAI Hugging Face incident, about which much ink has been spilled.

All you had to do was start the day with a walk instead of social media, sunlight instead of LED blue light, and thinking your own thoughts instead of reading others
north korea rapidly becoming experts in zcash cryptography
JUST IN: Zcash crashes 48% after Claude AI finds critical vulnerability allowing unlimited minting of $ZEC.
It went unnoticed for 4 years until it was patched on June 1st.

The internet spreads information much faster than pre-internet so people figure out faster that luxury products are pretty much all a scam with 95% of the cost spend on manipulative marketing and store fronts
Their status appeal is gone too as you see low status people buy most luxury products now
So luxury products become an anti-signal
