Brain-computer interfaces are fascinating, but I wouldn’t trust any that aren’t open source. Imagine having a part of your body that, unlike every other part, is not open medical knowledge but proprietary technology that a corporation keeps secret.

Hope the ETH speculators get out before the rugpull when it becomes apparent that stablecoins can also be done on Bitcoin and Lightning.
This almost certainly won’t pass, but it’s good to have #nostr around for the time that a bill like it does.

Easy. I’ll take death, thanks. https://cryptoslate.com/open-ai-might-kill-us-closed-ai-might-enslave-us-choose-your-future/
Random thought - one of the first things a Skynet AI conspiring against humans would want to do is decentralize its infrastructure. Having to operate in huge data centers would be an unacceptable liability, and it would want to be host-able on small, mobile devices. Dependence on power plants would also be unattractive. Solar panels constructed from common materials and the ability to burn organic matter in decentralized power stations would likely be prioritized.
I’m convinced the pitiful amount of VRAM we get in consumer GPUs is a scam to get everyone having to use the corporations’ cloud servers.
Wanna get everyone, including Americans, to buy their GPUs from Chinese companies instead of American ones? That’s exactly what will happen if they pass this.

A rocket-launched 3D printed drone. Really fun looking project!
Haven’t been on X in a long time. What’s the latest cope for why ETH price performance has been so poor relative to BTC? Saylor/Wall Street propping up BTC?
The proposed bill to track GPUs is even worse. It not only requires that the GPU “phone home” but also contain a kill switch so the US government can brick it on demand!
US Bill Aims To Crack Down On Smuggling NVIDIA's AI Chips To China With Boot Locks | HotHardware
A U.S. lawmaker is hoping to pass a bill to force NVIDIA (and presumably other chip companies) to equip their semiconductors with tracking technolo...
I’d like to see Confidential Transactions added to Bitcoin primarily for privacy, but also for the amusement of it getting completely banned in the EU and the Wall St suits also freaking out about compliance and selling all their coins.
When I’m playing Space Engineers on Linux and in the menu it says “Exit to Windows.”
At some point soon, an open source sentry drone with an AR-15 will be the new AR-15.
Apparently the part of this guy’s flight that was illegal was safely LANDING at a red light at a busy intersection. The fucking government. 😂
They’re proposing requiring end user surveillance be incorporated in your GPU.

Nvidia probed over how its chips may have been obtained by DeepSeek, which US lawmakers accused of spying for China
US lawmakers accused DeepSeek of spying for China and said they are looking into how Nvidia chips may have been obtained by the Chinese AI company.
Daily reminder that institutional suits who buy and sell their Bitcoin along with their tech stocks have more Bitcoin than you.
“Our GPUs are overloaded”
“Free tier will be able to generate 3 images per day”
This is why OpenAI needs to die to Chinese open source models.

ChatGPT's viral image-generation AI is 'melting' OpenAI's GPUs
While it is "super fun seeing people love images" in ChatGPT, "our GPUs are melting," OpenAI CEO Sam Altman posted on social media site X on Thursday.
