Be careful out there, folks…
Le Parisien is reporting that the relatives of a "cryptocurrency tycoon" escaped a terrifying kidnapping attempt in Paris today. The incident was captured on camera; you can see one attacker dropping a handgun as a man fights him. pic.twitter.com/mPql1gdyMU

Could be a great guerilla marketing campaign if we all start ripping eachother off for ANT in real life.
another vid of the incident
The start of this video sounded like Sam was talking about something very much like Autonomi:
I think Autonomi is on the right track… and hope Open AI would not be trusted in that role if a good decentralised and truly open alternative exists.
This is very exciting. Watched multiple times. It’s so obvious that Autonomi is the future. There is also zero chance that Altman is unaware of Autonomi and other emerging tech. It’s his job to be aware of his competition and that’s how he views every other person on the planet. His own sycophants are literally asking him how not to get crushed by his innovations. The idea that he wants to see a federated future is total bs. He’s just stating the obvious. Every bit as much of a dead-eyed, socially retarded pathological dork as Zuckerberg.
Just a reminder, Sam Altman, CEO of openAI co-founded “worldcoin” … so it wouldn’t surprise me if they did try to launch some new network or joined forces with another existing project like ICP - “Internet Computer”.
edit: I say ICP and not 
because I think Sam Altman is a globalist and not interested in real anonymity - despite worldcoin’s promises, they are putting a global ID number on everyone.
All of this is a bit obvious to me … but perhaps it offers validation.
MIT study used a game to get people to choose different levels of privacy models.
“the game distinctly suggests that the value of privacy is highly contingent on specific use-cases”
The more use-cases offers people the better.
They want to be in the middle of centralised AI, go gain monopoly power and wealth.
This seems the antithesis of Autonomi.
Personal AIs, storing data sets on Autonomi, to be ran securely on our own devices is where we need to get to. Then we can share our private and personal data with them, without risking it being in another cloud honeypot.
AI needs big machines to run right now. In a few years, mobile phones will be capable, at a consumer price point.
ChatGPT will have to open up or die. Same for the rest.
Ants best humans at test of collective intelligence
When people work together, they can achieve great things. But if they can’t talk, they’re not necessarily smarter than ants, at least according to a study published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
But ants talk by scents
Oh and I forgot, also by actions, and also by using their feelers when communicating with another ant
Sure, we also have non-verbal communication. And it turns out ants are better at it in collective tasks.
Seeing increasing amounts of botsplaining, and expect it to increase as more people trust these convincing charlatan proxies and give their agency over to those who control LLMs:
I’m a simple man. I see “asked $AI…”, I skip.
I understand your point, still use it cautiously and mainly for my personal amusement, however, I think people are falling into a boomer trap here. Most people on this forum are absolutely leagues beyond me as it pertains to technology in general, software development, etc. I cannot understand why any thinking person would not want to hammer away at it and expand your mind.
Hammering away at porn hub doesn’t make you any better in your field of interest. Like porn hub AI has a time and a place but it’s not the real thing.
Its great if you just want to knock one out quickley.
Lol. There’s just way too much knowledge to be gained there by average people from AI. I can’t imagine being a smart young kid and sitting through 12 years of institutionalized hell. I don’t think taking advantage of all this new tech by anybody is knocking one out quickly.
Iv knocked some out with the best of them.
And of course you use what you have got at hand to get where you are going.
I’d never take a woman on a date and tell her Guess what I was on porn hub all last night it says you are going to love “xyz” you are one lucky girl that porn hub exists.
My point exactly.
Everything I said is born out right there.
