From @ryanmcmaken in 2022:"It took some time for the official numbers to catch up with reality. The regime’s official numbers had long understated even the moderate levels of price inflation in earlier periods, but after the mid-80s, the gap between official inflation and estimated real inflation grew considerably.Efremov summarizes the divergence, noting that in 1988 official inflation was 0.6 percent but 6 percent in the real marketplace. By 1989, official inflation was 2 percent, but it was really 8 perc ...

The swarm intelligence algorithms have amazing names. They're all named after bees, fireflies, wolves, whales, dragonflies, cuckoos, and the like.It does feel there's something here in terms of getting crypto crowds to cooperate, and getting AI agents on the same page.CITATIONS(1) Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO)Kennedy, J., & Eberhart, R.

Ants are dumb...but ant colonies are smart.More generally, there's the idea of swarm intelligence.Quite a lot of research in this area.Might be applied to crypto and AI agents specifically.And distributed systems more generally. ...

This is in jest.That said, there’s something amazing about a system where every human can get repeatedly replaced over hundreds of years but the organization keeps compounding. Onchain entities and AI agents will take this much further.Original from here:Object Zero (@Object_Zero_):@tc1415 The Aberdeen Harbour Board has been trading since 1136 and predates Magna Carta. https://t.co/DdocJEYxQk ...

RT David Sacks (@DavidSacks)A BEST CASE SCENARIO FOR AI?The Doomer narratives were wrong. Predicated on a “rapid take-off” to AGI, they predicted that the leading AI model would use its intelligence to self-improve, leaving others in the dust, and quickly achieving a godlike superintelligence. Instead, we are seeing the opposite:— the leading models are clustering around similar performance benchmarks;— model companies continue to leapfrog each other with their latest versions (which shouldn’t be possible i ...

You don’t need to use the concepts exactly, but ideas from real-time OS development could be baked in as constraints during AI training and evaluation.Soft real-time may be sufficient. Unless it’s a car crash if it doesn’t work, like hard real-time. https://t.co/OpEnybplIy ...
