Proverbs 3:9-10 "Honour the LORD with thy substance, And with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, And thy presses shall burst out with new wine." Good morning 😇☀️☕ #gm

PSA from Palantir: "Our thoughts on the importance of AI sovereignty. 1. Your AI sovereignty dictates your institution’s future. Sovereignty is the precondition for choice. Relinquishing sovereignty transfers the future choices of your institution to others, who are likely to exploit it for their gain and your loss. 2. Data retention is your treasure. Transfer it at your own peril. Your ability to win is dictated by your ability to recognize and use your unique edges, and you keep winning by compounding the underlying data to generate new insights. Transferring that data hands over access to your pre-existing winning plays and yields the means of production for new ones. 3. Tokenmaxxing hijacks your value orientation and decreases your institutional fortitude and intelligence. The pursuit of high token usage incentivizes disposable scripts over robust software — with the addictive feeling of false progress. There is a reason why those selling tokens refuse to charge based on value. 4. Controlling your weights is controlling your fate. Weights are the distilled form of hard-won, accumulated institutional knowledge. If you let others control your weights, you are allowing them to migrate the alpha of your business to theirs. 5. There is no contradiction between sovereignty and alpha. The architecture that maximally preserves sovereignty is one that enables institutions to own their tribal knowledge, and to compound it as alpha. 6. Politicizing the technical issues involving sovereignty is what your adversary wants. Techno-politicization is the wellspring of false sovereignty. Techno-politicization drives decisions that seem to reduce dependency, but ultimately limit agency — especially on the battlefield in the West. 7. Real expertise is existential. Allowing politics or favoritism to determine your technical decisions rewards whoever is best at politics, not whoever is right. Listen to those closest to the problems, not those speaking most compellingly about them. 8. Learn from institutions that are winning or that have consistently delivered. Institutions facing existential threats do not have the luxury of making technical decisions based on political preferences. 9. Only listen to institutions, countries, and people who have a proven record of being right. A track record of correctness is the best and only signal for future correctness. Judging something as right or wrong based on who you like is exceedingly misguided." View quoted note →

Karp indirectly letting you know that your data is being exploited by the Anthropic, OpenAI etc..Apart from merely paying for compute not intelligence it's not far fetched to assume that the users of these models are unpaid employees for these LLM companies while paying them. Otherwise why would they need to employ thousands of developers and pay them to improve their model?? My hunch is that, we are probably being duped into thinking we are building something for ourselves, while in reality, we are giving them ideas, data, and control over us.

The EU comunistas are the best I tell ya 😂 Either they have no idea how the realm world works or they think their subjects don't

"Having just privatized DARPA’s TIA program into Palantir, Thiel, and perhaps Parker, certainly saw in Facebook a company that could be molded to serve as more than just a social network. Thiel likely saw its utility as an analogue for the shuttered sister project of TIA, LifeLog, particularly given the fact that Thiel was known to have been meeting with John Poindexter, the close friend of LifeLog’s project manager Douglas Gage, during this time." What a tangled web we weave 👀

Daniel 10:12-13 "Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia." #biblestr

A slave wearing a gold watch is still a slave. Likewise, a Bitcoiner whose every transaction is monitored, profiled and permissioned may own the hardest money ever invented while steadily losing the very freedoms Bitcoin was designed to protect. This is the uncomfortable paradox of our moment. #MiCA View quoted note →

Zuck's libre project reborn under a different name but the concept remains the same: centralized money controlled by a few mega-corps. Meanwhile Elon now has X money. Aren't you excited?

Just in case you hadn't caught on yet, the military operation that was popularly known as hoaxvid-19, would have gone smoothly had it not for dissenting voices online. The online child protection laws are meant to close that loophole such that by the time the next one comes, you won't be able to voice your opposing view or wake up those that are yet to catch on. They are in the process of turning the entire internet into Twitter 1.0 View quoted note →
