I thought they’d keep more, like 25%. They essentially negotiated to have Blockstream publicly say the transaction is some amount of consensual rather than pure theft in hope that law enforcement doesn’t act.

Pretty wild to see where the best open model is on the Artificial Analysis Index if only non-Chinese companies are considered. It’s a visual of just how much American AI companies don’t want you to own and control your model.

They’re too glued to the network effect of the major platforms. I think it will take major censorship or other types of regulation that make centralized social media too restrictive or onerous to use to get people to come here. I do believe it will happen at some point though.

Hope to see on-chain privacy solutions without horrible tradeoffs. I’ve heard the biggest fear with something like CT is bugs that violate the supply limit. Seems powerful LLMs could be the solution to that.

Probably an attempt to offer Blockstream most of it back, minus a hefty fee like 1000 BTC, in return for Blockstream putting out a statement that it was a consensual transfer that doesn’t deserve law enforcement follow up.

That one might have to wait for a major enterprise hardware rotation combined with a general data center overbuild.

I’ve also considered a 8x MI325x server (2TB VRAM) for ~$270,000 to run on two 240v 30a circuits in my garage. 😆
