[ot][crazy] mind control and matter mutation without harm: yet another attempt to solve a current problem

Say you want to make somebody in a neighboring country smile, but: - you can’t travel or send a message to their country - some people do interact with their country, but you’re not sure who - you have a map of everyone in their country you bought - you have a powerful AI A naive approach might be to train your AI to make people smile at a distance by influencing the people in between. Unfortunately, when only the smiling of the distant person is in the AI’s reward function, it may learn to enslave the people in between so as to: - report on the person’s smiling - form groups discussing how much they smile and what influences it - stimulate them smiling in a way totally unknown to you, excessively and perversely, and - be left confused and helpless, wondering where their god went, when you pull the AI out. I was briefly thinking on this challenge because it is similar to the challenge of controlling your body when you have a severe dissociative palsy from items similar to the ones listed above. [It also overlaps with other extreme puzzles like teleportation] Basically, the challenge of rapidly influencing something at a distance _without_ harming anything between you and it simplifies to the challenge of even more rapidly influencing things nearby in a harmless way, such that they participate in the more distant influence in a way that is to their forthright benefit. Ideally, of course, we communicate instead of influence, and we hope that influence without harm simplifies to communication and beg people to make requests of us rather than throw us to the runaway paperclip factories. Anyway, simple ideas start out with rapidly comprehending communities and individuals and preparing for them “information and experience packages” that aid them, help them understand what is going on, and make it forthrightly clear that is to the benefit of their values, selves, and communities to help the more distant relation happen. In a situation like this, if a model of somebody’s values is wrong, it’s important to pull out quickly and make things right, because the impact is so large. Given the goal is rapid distant effect, it’s hard to quickly figure out how to hold the meaning and importance of two-way communication, and I suspect theories similar to faster-than-light-discovery and attempts at time travel could be a little relevant — but I’m thinking providing living beings or robots that can learn independently how to resolve things in forthright caring, respectful, and contributive ways could be helpful if back-and-forth communication remains a challenge.

Some critics of the Base network have suggested that its currently centralized nature may lead to regulatory scrutiny from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. For example, attorney Gabriel Shapiro has stated that Base “could threaten dangerous collateral damage” to the industry. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong also raised eyebrows on March 7 by suggesting that “centralized players” on Base must implement identity verification https://cointelegraph.com/news/base-optimism-unveil-shared-governance-reven… Reposts not swapping one tyrant five thousand miles away

Cryptocurrency: The Gold Backed Fiat CBDC Stable Scam, Can't Truss Em !!!
by grarpamp 23 Aug '23

"It is impossible over the longer term for laws to protect a population from manipulated money when the laws are influenced by the people that benefit most from that manipulation. Only an emergent parallel system outside of that control could solve that paradox. -- Jeff Booth" All Fiat, CBDC, Stablecoins, and Backed anything are in the end nothing but inflating depegging usurious confiscating defiling controlled and worse GovBankCorp garbage. Only the laws of math and physics can be trusted. Only sound privacy enabled crypto and gold, both held in hand, are worth anything. Adopt and use them in P2P mode, private around the world, for goods and services, today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-cB1Z9qceI Nixon's Fiat Lies Depeg Dollar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRzr1QU6K1o Nixon's Fiat Lies Depeg Dollar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDDJF0hHMio USA Confiscates Gold ExcOrd 6102 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNz3aZ3Ez7I USA Confiscates Gold Raw Deal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am9BqZ6eA5c Gold Backed et al...

Breaking . . . APPLE is tainted goods sayeth the Bismark oracle! But any real anarchist knew that by well . . . 1984. Moving on, FORE and UMA Collaborate to Enhance Decentralized Prediction Markets? https://blockchainreporter.net/fore-and-uma-collaborate-to-enhance-decentra… Timothea Horwell Highlights Integration’s Significance This cooperation goes beyond technology and represents a commitment to decentralized validation and community empowerment. The addition of UMA’s Optimistic Oracle to FORE’s prediction ecosystem shows how decentralized solutions can disrupt centralized validation sectors. Timothea Horwell, a FORE Protocol co-founder, stressed the importance of this integration for decentralization, transparency, and fairness. The system authorizes a diverse and independent group of validators. In this way, it creates an inclusive and trustworthy prediction market ecology that the community can validate. So if this turns out another AUGUR youse know who to deadpool. Back to the fire sale . . .

Cryptocurrency: Banksters Greenlit To Oppress Manipulate Crypto Markets Down, P2P Wins
by grarpamp 23 Aug '23

23 Aug '23

Analysts have noted that price activity of Bitcoin has elements of repression that Banks have been doing to the price of Gold for decades, and been getting fined and jailed for it. The way to beat the Banks is to buy and remove coins from the market, and to actually use, spend, and replace them in the P2P crypto economy for goods and services, instead of using GovBankPol's Fiat. Unlike Gold which is unlikely to ever be used by the masses again, Crypto is growing into use by the billions. Crush the Banksters... adopt and use Private P2P Crypto.
