I think there's a pretty clear implication of referring to generative AI specifically when lay people use the term at this point, especially when creative labor is mentioned.
No one is using LLMs to cure cancer.
You don't have to provide anything to make a wallet, but you do have to give banking details to whomever you buy the tokens from, and as of the boom a few years ago, any exchanges that don't want to be cut off from the global banking system will be as thorough about verifying and retaining data about your identity as any other regulated bank. Proper obfuscation would require something like buying Bitcoin for cash on the street and doing some prosecutable money laundering for good measure.
Neat! Genuinely cool to see more models of governance than the default BDFL/cool kids' club online.
Will community moderation policy be determined by sortition?
I guess I'm trapped in the void, trying to set up crafting for enough sigils to break into splashing dimensional cores, as usual. Orb of Creation had already been consuming enough of my life...
Gas Town is the weird slop-illustrated hype post from a while back about creating a sort of corporate org chart of LLMs prompting each other. Basic ideas like "what if you had developer LLMs and project manager LLMs and a COO LLM and they all roleplayed with each other" got their own obfuscatory Mad Max themed names to make the whole thing seem more exciting and innovative, and I seem to remember a sentence along the lines of "This is not for anyone for whom token costs are an object." Obviously this was the coolest thing to have ever hit the orange site for a few weeks afterward.
Snorting launch. Snorting hack. Snorting go. The possibilities are endless.
It depends, would you consider Sam Altman part of the LGBTQ+ community?
Israel's entire edge in the tech sector is in lax regulation and a steady supply of experienced, amoral ex-military software engineers. Western entrepeneurs who would otherwise have had trouble finding willing professionals and maintaining legal cover for their adware, data mining, or cyberweapons startup in a home country more concerned with ethics and international relations flocked to Israel over the last couple decades and singlehandedly propped up the local economy.
In return, the US, for instance, gets to wash its hands of the whole affair and say they're not the ones selling spyware to the Saudis and other western-friendly authoritarian regimes, it's all out of their control, while American venture capital reaps the rewards of investments in Israeli companies.
It's not even secret, there have been highly publicized tests of ground- and air-launched interceptor missiles, and a fair few tests observed by amateur astronomers where military satellites rendezvoused and closed to observation/weapons range with dummy targets. It's very hard to hide anything that happens in orbit.
It doesn't have to be a full on quest marker HUD overlay, just being able to glance at a mirror of your phone's map display in your peripheral vision without taking it out of your pocket would be great.
