There are a few things in this new (came out last night) video analysis of filecoin that could be of interest to our marketing. It’s not terribly long (~27min). Coin Bureau does good research and IMO this episode has great research on the main competition in our space as well as pointing out various market sectors that we could target ourselves.
Also just better understanding the competition and what they are doing/not doing is worthwhile.

I give up - the memes aren’t working, the baddies are winning … so I’m just gonna join’em (joking). 
“I want to be in the Illuminati” (song 
by Dominic Frisby)
This is local and cops were busy there last night.
Jason Scott made this, he is at the Internet Archive I think, and I don’t know how it slipped past me till now. Very relevant to Safe (obviously)
yeah its a real problem on places like archive.org (CMU operated) where they have a policy of letting acquisitors of companies wipe out what used to publicly available information found on the acquired company’s previously public website. Public is public, once released, the information needs to stay out there.
Interesting video about the science behind finance, how it attracted some of the smartest mathematicians and physicist to tackle the finance market looking for advantage.
I subscribe to Network Chuck, lots of good videos.
He just put out a nice video to help you start running a private ai at home.
probably too early to spam his comments section with safenet.
A good two hours has passed. Spam on, mon brave!!!
A lot of sci-fi movies are about to become a little less sci-fi.
I’m not surprised that when you connect video and mechanical sensors to an LLM that it will begin to understand how to operate in 3D. It’s all just data.
I’d be careful if thinking of investing in Figure. The people behind it are not good people IMO and it looks like a multi-year pump and dump IPO stock plan. Do your own research on their executives and you’ll see what I mean.
45m talk with Mike Pond (one of those lovely chaps from Computerphile). It took me a bit of clicking around to find but: he’s very anti-hype, anti apocalypse-meme, etc. Anyone who has been looking for a practical and gentle overview of where the AI thing actually is, I would recommend this.
The title is the only sensational aspect of the whole thing, I promise 
District 9 is already here.
The inspiration came from actual places/events IIRC in Sth Africa. It has been real for a long time, just not framing as Sci FI

High-capacity storage technologies are needed to meet our ever-growing data demands1,2. However, data centres based on major storage technologies such as semiconductor flash devices and hard disk drives have high energy burdens, high operation costs and short lifespans2,3. Optical data storage (ODS) presents a promising solution for cost-effective long-term archival data storage. Nonetheless, ODS has been limited by its low capacity and the challenge of increasing its areal density4,5. Here, to address these issues, we increase the capacity of ODS to the petabit level by extending the planar recording architecture to three dimensions with hundreds of layers, meanwhile breaking the optical diffraction limit barrier of the recorded spots. We develop an optical recording medium based on a photoresist film doped with aggregation-induced emission dye, which can be optically stimulated by femtosecond laser beams. This film is highly transparent and uniform, and the aggregation-induced emission phenomenon provides the storage mechanism. It can also be inhibited by another deactivating beam, resulting in a recording spot with a super-resolution scale. This technology makes it possible to achieve exabit-level storage by stacking nanoscale disks into arrays, which is essential in big data centres with limited space.
It’s amazing, but unless & until, we have archive nodes or vastly larger Inet pipes & processors, then it’s probably useless for SAFE as it’s far in excessive of what could be used. It’s also almost certainly going to be much slower than SSD’s & HDD’s.
I’d even go as far to say that if this tech works out, it’s going to help data centers drop their costs and hence be more competitive with SAFE … so in a way, it’s bad for us. 
Phase Change Memory - the next major uplift for GPU’s.
Ray is a scientist, futurist, and Principal Researcher and AI Visionary at Google.
He briefly touched on a point about how AI will need better storage and a new infrastructure.
This point got my attention.
If JR hears about the Bux n Jim duo I am sure they will get on his show to talk about the new infrastructure Maidsafe are about to release.
edit: I don’t know how to link to Spotify but you can find it there.
I tried to listen the other day, but was put off at the beginning with his talk about his suspenders
