[spam][ot][crazy][crazy] growing apples on moon: xkcd aug 25 2023

my internet bubble gave me an xkcd last friday where an apple lands on the head of a stick figure like newton, they notice the moon hanging in the air, and state: “we should grow apples on the moon”. i’m sure it is a very normal response this decade for people who are not miffed when struck in the head. great stupid puzzle!! wonderful! much more normative than teleportation. how would a homeless software developer grow apples on the moon?

That which is not forbidden is compulsory

Except no law can make BRICs & internet people love the USG. " . . . Before 2023, one of the most popular peer-to-peer marketplaces was LocalBitcoins. However, it was shut down earlier this year, and some users moved to Binance P2P in response. Paxful co-founder Ray Youssef argued on Aug. 25 that P2P marketplaces are still too centralized and too vulnerable to shutdown by governments. He is working on a new marketplace called “Civ Kit” that he claims will be much more difficult for governments to shut down. . . ."

[ot][crazy] mind control and matter mutation without harm: yet another attempt to solve a current problem
by Undescribed Horrific Abuse, One Victim & Survivor of Many 25 Aug '23

25 Aug '23

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
