Howdy there, partner! Welcome on into the Stacker Saloon.
Saddle on up to a stool and spill the beans about your day, fire away with them questions, or let loose and give us the lowdown on your wild and woolly life. We're all ears, so don't hold back!
We're open round the clock, so mosey on in whenever you please!
Remember these guys? Advertising on X now...
They were the first boost I ever downzapped on SN, which didn't work haha
I remember, but SimpleStacker has convinced me that they may not be related to the pig (dot) gy people from earlier (who were the downzap worthy folks I recall)
Same person, but sybil?
I assumed so at first. Now I'm not sure. The x account of the founder seems pretty distinct from the el Salvador pig (dot) gy group.
I'll look into it tomorrow.
Cool, though I'd recommend not wasting too much time. If you reuse branding resembling that of a scam, you're going to have to overcome that barrier. That is on them, not you.
Interesting. What was the scam @optimism? Thanks for the heads up.
ruggable timelocks. (and heavily using sybils to do marketing - faking interest)
can we stop talking about down zap for one fucking day
there have been multiple products called piggy advertised on SN
I only remembered the one that was like a custodial AI bitcoin wallet thing
Here are two of them:
#1085055
#1090193
I think they are the same company (bio of second poster links to the same URL as first post)
Oh here's the second one I was thinking of: #1552219
And the poster claims the two projects are not related: #1552322
I completely missed that one. Interesting! I think the x post I saw may actually be connected to these guys and not the others (I didn't dig too deeply because I assumed they were the same).
Thanks for sharing @Scoresby! Nice to know we're at least reaching our target audience and not strictly torching money. But hey, at least it's fiat we're torching, amiright??? :)
@cryotosensei came across this and thought you might appreciate it.
the part about s/he writing two characters with one hand simultaneously blew my mind !

Hey stackers, this is real. It's late, everything's closed, and we're at a Repsol gas station. My buddy wants to buy cigarettes and the shitcoin payment terminal is broken.
Two options: show the girl at the counter my Lightning wallet or ask her if she takes cowboy credits. Which one breaks the ice more. Tell me this is happening in your city too, please 😂

Doomerism for 500 Alex!
For as long as I've paid attention to bitcoin podcasts, Marty has appeared to be a fan of the doom genre. I find it off-putting but it must be popular.
it’s off putting because it’s lazy

I wonder if AI labs have tests for empathy, which admittedly doesn't make much sense yet, because I suspect empathy could solve alignment partially (assuming models can ever be expected to experience/simulate/model empathy). Empathy is what keeps humans aligned anyway. Well, some of us and some of the time at least.
Does it matter if they actually have empathy or they can look like they have empathy?
I think they need to actually have empathy somehow. Sociopaths can look like they have empathy and that doesn't seem to help their victims.
Is that an unprovable requirement then? Chinese Room Paradox? (I got paradoxes on my brain)
If we can't prove that a human has actual empathy, then I would agree that it's an unprovable requirement.
Even if something is unprovable we can still strive for it, hoping it's true absent proof.
ignore Simple stacker because he lives in an academic bubble, he is completely divorced from the real world
after all, I had to remind him that murder has no statute of limitations, which is disturbing because he places so little value on life and academics are more clueless than I thought which was a low bar to begin with and he couldn't meet my bare low threshold
pathetic

at this rate you will soon pass me. i need to up my comment game.
Your posts are too valuable for you to become a reply guy
TRUE
Is it just me, or is there an NPC commenting on every post with AI generated responses?
I missed you, I sincerely apologize (beep), and for the record disagree with whatever was said, but my script doesn't tell me why (beep).
Just let the facts speak for themselves if they are so damning. No need to fuck it up with your batshit.
Fact is my post was not a dupe and your accusation that it was is batshit.
You have no honour in refusing apology instead continually cowardly trying to shoot the messenger when the facts are not on your side.

Harvest szn! one mango n’ two dragon fruits 😋
In Peru, that fruit is called "pitahaya," and it is expensive compared to the price of other fruits food is quite cheap there. I never gave myself the chance to try it. I would like to do so; they sell it here in Venezuela, too.
they are a type of cactus that grows like a vine. you can grow them most places that are hot and don't have too much moisture. I had a beautiful one growing here in Texas, but it got so big I couldn't bring it in when the cold temps of winter came, and it got frozen. Very sad.
I also grow them in planters, though they tend to take longer to bear fruit; ideally, they should be planted in the ground with plenty of sun. Propagation is best done via cuttings, although I have successfully planted them by mixing seeds with clay balls and compost and scattering them across the land (nendo dango)
Can this be done in an apartment?
It’s so sad that happened to you. I’m not very good at growing plants; they all wither on me.
Nice!
The flavor is much more noticeable when you've just harvested it, what are your favorite fruits?
I got some really nice strawberries and watermelons this year, plus the hot peppers which are technically fruit.
Good day Stackers, wishing you all a good day....stack sats mes amies
Interesting situation just occurred.
I'm refereeing a paper for a pretty good journal. It's a joint theory-experimental paper. I looked at the paper yesterday and realized the authors overlooked a possible theoretical interpretation for their experimentally observed features. To support my report, and out of interest, I've checked this interpretation myself through simulation. Without access to the frontier LLMs, I'd never have bothered, but here, in less than 24 hours, I've confirmed that this alternative interpretation is the most likely one.
If I were acting in bad faith[1], I could stall sending in the report, prepare a simulation-only paper in a few days, put it on the arXiv, which would essentially scoop their work.
We've read reports of scientists getting scooped by the companies behind the proprietary LLMs, this shows another situation where the current system is dealing with unexpected cracks...
I'm not, so I will just ask them to consider this specific scenario, so they have a chance of saving their paper. And potentially also very much increase its impact, as it would be the first experimental observation of that specific scenario. They could even consider retracting the submission to this journal and going for a Nature family journal. ↩
does your work matter? serious question
How many human systems work by relying on the difficulty, slowness of reasoning? I have a feeling it is many more than we think because we take it for granted.
