From their announcement: “While Jev gives up string generation, it’s optimized for structured outputs.”

I understand what that means, but do I? Obviously it’s not a chat model. So, how does this translate into automation? What are the applications?

Oh, I see: Hook it up to a Doom console and it’ll automate the shit out of your dungeon crawl.

And here are the other potential use cases.

HuggingFace just passed $1,000,000 in sales for Microduck, which uses Nostr. How does Microduck use Nostr? Essentially "invisible plumbing". Microduck is Hugging Face's new $399 open-source biped ...

I was initially put off by this post’s mention of things I was unfamiliar with, plus that $400 price point. Then I paused to reconsider and do a background search. Now I think that some people pay hundreds up to thousands for certain educational experiences. At some conceptual level Microduck sounds to me like the Amazon DeepRacer: a device used to help ppl learn and apply cloud concepts, machine learning, and robotics. Maybe Microduck is a “toy,” but perhaps it’s not *just* a toy.

From a Microduck article I found: “The creators also say their simulated twin approach will give owners, even those with beginner-level programming skills, the ability to train their robot while better understanding how AI training works.”

Months ago when Ledger’s shipping company got hacked, I got spooked and started researching other cold wallet (ahem, signing device) solutions with the intention of migrating. I noticed several influencers praising ColdCard products. The marketing seemed slick. I started feeling remorse for being the normie simpleton who didn’t own one. But I eventually told myself not to knee-jerk every time the FUD hits. It turned out that doing nothing was the right thing, but not for the reason I would have ever envisioned.

I’m not unfamiliar with crypto hashing. Before last week, I never heard of dice-rolling your own seed phrase. After several days of reading my nostr feed about the CC meltdown, the message of “multi-vendor multi-sig” has resonated loud and clear in my brain.

So that seems like a migration worth moving forward with not necessarily as a FUD-induced knee-jerk, but because it seems prudent to strengthen my self-custody for the long-haul in the age of AI. I know it’s not a perfect solution. But I’m just not gonna build my own seed signer, do hundreds of casino dice rolls, hand jam a bunch of zeros and ones, convert hex values, and consult the BIP-39 word list. I’m not cool enough, and I guess I’m willing to suffer for not being cool (ahem, not a sufficiently self-sovereign anarcho-cypherpunk.) Hell, I’m barely cool enough for nostr if at all.

As I understand it, I could pay for a multi-sig service like CASA or Unchained, or I could set it up locally for free with a Sparrow Wallet. I found this article that I think will walk me through self-setup. Maybe I can figure out how to do that.

Tony Robbins: "We're going to have AGI in less than 3 years. That means one AI knows more than all human brains combined." "You're not gonna stop it." https://blossom.primal.net/0b50ddf5a9f04452f7103...

So wait, sanity check: how the fuck would Tony Robbins know with such certainty that we are going to have AGI in 3 yrs? Is he an AI researcher? Is he running a frontier lab? Does he have a glass jar filled with Dario Amodei’s farts that he huffs on the reg? Oh btw I think his $40/month chatbot is a great value. Its tagline is “The power of Tony’s strategies - in your pocket.” Yeah, that mofo is in a lot of peoples’ pockets alright.

Now I need to go meditate about why I have such animosity towards Tony Fucking Robbins (TFR) since I never gave him one second of thought even after I watched his amazing performance in Shallow Hal 25 yrs ago.

Urinal troughs, yay or nay? https://blossom.primal.net/65a0014e603b51ceec1563317100c1b885c9ee115ecc4e0e8bac47799008ee9b.jpg

Definitely not yay (rejoice) but also not yea (affirmative). I’m anti-trough except when there’s no other option. And usually there isn’t. A trough is one step up from a latrine, but just barely. So I’d say troughs are a necessary evil. However, I might do the trough over a Porto-pottie, which makes Porto-Potties pure unadulterated evil. Not just nay, but hell naw. Now maybe there is such a thing as a high quality porcelain trough experience in some airport in Dubai or a high end bar in Manhattan. But I’ve never seen one. That picture is probably the best I’ve seen. Ever.
