If I had a parallel life, I would be hacking on FVM building a new generation of storage offering on top of Filecoin.

It’s taking us thousands of years to figure out our human program. AGI will be so lucky they will get theirs from us really quickly

Prediction: Some of the LLM AIs will encode in their outputs an authetication code that will make it easier for them to understand if content was generated by them.

It's 2023, we still don't have an Airtable/Notion/Observable that is private and doesn't read your data. We will look back and not believe that we shared so much personal info with so many people we don't know! There is a massive opportunities for web2/3 to go private first.

With AI coming up, Sybil attacks are going to be more and more mainstream - greatest time for bots and fake network of identities. Proof of Personhood will be a thing (or gov-issued digital identities)!

I believe the macro trend for 2023 for many groups will be about showing value more than potential growth. I believe Filecoin is doing both! Value: high rate of deals, cheapest storage solution Growth: Filecoin VM, programmable storage, data daos I look forward to 2023!

Web3 decentralized storage networks like @Filecoin have completely different value propositions compared to today’s cloud storage options twitter.com/MessariCrypto/…

Yay, #RWC23 notifications are out! I'm glad to confirm I'll be in Tokyo in March to present how we "hacked" a deployed public randomness service in practice to provide a different kind of cryptographic functionality 😁

I'm personally excited about the L2 CDNs that cache the content stored in Filecoin storage deals and make it available all over the world. It completes the vision. We can build trustless decentralized rep systems and get closer to the end goal of making storage a human right.

VM go live soon. in 2017 this was just a few short sentences in a lengthy whitepaper, but the piece that got me most excited. what kind of applications would you build when *storage* is the first class primitive that can be trustlessly programmed.

New paper from IDSIA motivated by building an artificial scientist with World Models! A key idea is to get controller C to generate pure thought experiments in form of *weight matrices* of RNNs that still surprise the world model M, and then updating it. arxiv.org/abs/2212.14374

This is a great analogy of the layers in Web3 and the importance of storage and the role of Filecoin.

Here’s a test for your self custody: Tell your next of kin to retrieve your coins as if you had died. They are only allowed to use the info they have now. No new note or instructions allowed- if you died today they wouldn’t have those instructions either. See how the test works.

Automatically downgrading every single thing SBF believed in is an error. It's important to actually think and figure out which things contributed to the fraud and which things didn't. Don't be the guy who would have tried to cancel vegetarianism in 1945.

1/n Why are mathematicians interested in the distribution of prime numbers, and what do they actually mean by that? A 🧵 on the Riemann hypothesis and Yitang Zhang's latest preprint on the Landau-Siegel zeros conjecture, which I covered yesterday

Mathematician who solved prime-number riddle claims new breakthrough
Nature - After shocking the mathematics community with a major result in 2013, Yitang Zhang now says he has solved an analogue of the celebrated Riemann hypothesis.
