"Most AI systems today are stuck in a “cage” designed by humans. They rely on fixed architectures crafted by engineers and lack the ability to evolve autonomously over time. This is the Achilles heel of modern AI — like a car, no matter how well the engine is tuned and how skilled the driver is, it cannot change its body structure or engine type to adapt to a new track on its own. But what if AI could learn and improve its own capabilities without human intervention? In this post, we will dive into the concept of self-improving systems and a recent effort towards building one."

In bitcoin, censorship-resistant is not the same as censorship-proof. Just like water-resistant is not the same as water-proof. When miners make a block, they do so by choosing which transactions to include and which to exclude. That is a form of censorship. It is a mistake to think that a "greedy" approach to this, is the only game in town. Miners want to maximize long-term gains, not short term events. The best way to do this is to be a good actor.

Bitcoin changes must be proven safe, needed, and wanted, before they're adopted. The burden is on the proposer, not the community. If it’s not clearly worth the risk, the answer is simple: don’t change the rules. That’s how Bitcoin stays secure.
