The Highwire: “THE INDOCTRINATED BRAIN WITH DR. MICHAEL NEHLS”
The spike protein “appears” as though it was designed to turn people into non-thinking drones and initiate early onset dementia - or it’s just a random chance that so many things came together as they did.
1967 AI here featuring various advanced creations from US and UK and comments from Asimov, Clarke and others about robotic intelligence.
Lots of things I liked about this, interesting takes and fascinating to hear the ideas and see where the tech was back then.
[Apologies for those outside UK who don’t have a UK VPN]
This reminded me of the movie’s take on computer AI with mainframes.

Interesting summary of a recent Messari report on DePin (Decentralised Physical Infrastructure), where quite a few things relevant to the Safe Network are mentioned.
On a surface level, it mentions other decentralised storage offerings and says it’s a sector that has the potential to go mainstream, though has so far lacked demand (I guess due to lack of ease of use?).
Later, it mentions intersections between DePin and AI as something with a lot of potential. The Safe network could do well there. Interesting stuff, with a lot of potential for the Safe Network in this area.
Meshtastic creates encrypted LoRa networks on very low cost devices. This reminds me of ham radio but better. I wonder if this could be used for SafeNetwork. I know at this point bandwidth is low but as more devices come on line this could allow for SafeNetwork outside the internet. Considered dangerous because it allows encrypted messages outside internet surveillance. This seems paranoid in my opinion.
It does allow hybrid internet connections.
Meshtastic utilizes LoRa, a long-range radio protocol, which is widely accessible in most regions without the need for additional licenses or certifications, unlike HAM radio operations.
These radios are designed to rebroadcast messages they receive, forming a mesh network. This setup ensures that every group member, including those at the furthest distance, can receive messages. Depending on the settings employed, the Meshtastic mesh network can support up to 100 devices concurrently.
Additionally, Meshtastic radios can be paired with a single phone, allowing friends and family to send messages directly to your specific radio. It’s important to note that each device is capable of supporting a connection from only one user at a time."
If you are interested in a more technical overview of how Meshtastic works, visit the overview section below:
Bandwidth is the limitation here and means this is not likely to be a suitable transport for Safe nodes, or anything focused on data beyond things like sensors, which is what it was designed for AFAIK.
There may also be issues with encrypted radio, because you may need a special license to do that in many jurisdictions. I’m not sure if there are any concessions made for the spectrum LoRa uses, it’s quite possible because of the use case, so this may not be an issue everywhere.
In most regions the spectrum is free to use. Some nations do restrict use but very few. Agreed bandwidth is an issue now but who knows. There are a range of settings that increase bandwidth and decrease range. This can be powered with a solar panel and battery endlessly at very low cost. In rural regions this could allow payment transactions is areas where there is no internet.
It should improve over time like we did with 300 baud modems. It really would be amazing to have the SafeNetwork live inside and outside of the current internet.
I’m not taking about ‘use’, I’m talking about use for encrypted information, and not for sensor data, so that’s what you need to check.
Bulletin boards is the level of capability that this might be suitable for.
The network is growing worldwide so we should know for sure where such use is restricted.
Yes definitely BBS level at this point. The good old days lol.
It is designed for much more than sensors. It’s amazing what they have built so far.
That could be nice. Just a payment app that uses this could be low bandwidth. A market could set up just one of these and share the connection, then people could pay for goods.
I’m not certain if SAFE tokens SNT would be good here though - are txns on SAFE low bandwidth - or do the cashnotes and such going back and forth eat up a lot of bandwidth? Regardless for most blockchains it would be pretty low bandwidth I think.
This is the question. I wonder how minimal the bandwidth of a cashnote transaction could be made. Yes for sure there are some chains that should work for payments only.
Or imagine a node going offline due to internet access transmitting the hash of its last storage hash until it gets access to the internet again. Kind of calling out saying I’m still here waiting to reconnect.
Another possibility here is to circumvent censorship via DNS blocking by running an alt-DNS over mesh.
These were points touched on in my very first conversation with David nearly 10 years ago now…
Interesting update on the tech but the beginning short explanation on why saying “we’re getting there” was banned in house needs to be heard by a few here.
Pretty interesting story on the founder and his origins.
History, explanation of, and possible future application of memristors.
So possibly after creating LLM (conventional way), the LLM could be encoded into a memristor. This super low power and high speed device could thus replace conventional high power LLM and make these intelligences available anywhere in any kind of device – possibly like an upgradable sim card, but for AI. Maybe could continue to learn as well.
