I’ve just learned how to spin up my own instance of an LLM (llama3) using RunPod, and I feel like I’m at step 1 of yet another learning journey. Here we go again…

“Silence is complicity” reminds me of Roger Ver’s “Babies are dying!”

Can you align economic incentives to run a fully decentralized LLM trained and maintained by participant nodes who, in turn, are paid directly by end users? Bitcoin for payments. Nostr for coordination. Blossom for weights.

While it’s possible that Musk vs Trump is just another clown show / bread and circus for the masses to distract from something important, they’re still humans with different aspirations and agendas who can quarrel like any of us. Not everything is a conspiracy.

I’m going through the companies tracked by @Bitcoin Reserve in order to record their historical transactions, and while AI helps me with some tasks, I can surely say it’s not ready to do extensive research and produce accurate data. Maybe I’m suing the wrong model (4o)? Maybe my prompts aren’t specific enough? But even asking it to go through SEC filings of a particular company and fetch data from there doesn’t produce anything I would trust. So I’m going through the filings manually myself and using AI as a glorified calculator.

As usual, sell the news.

Funny how Apple totally missed the AI boat and now has no choice but to partner with OpenAI and others.

Few words can explain how much I hate bureaucracy.
