I believe in Embedded Growth Obligations[1], which we need to come to terms with. -- I believe that computer security is a solved problem, but very few people understand the solution, capability based security.[2] I further believe that because of this insecurity of our computers, people avoid straying from "strange websites" and thus aggregate in the walled gardens. I further believe that this insecurity will be the cause of losing the war for general purpose computation, and thus losing democracy, what little we have left of it. It's quite possible this is all part of a plan. Multics was left to die on the vine, and isn't mentioned much any more, because secure computing would make the NSA's job harder. -- I believe that Von Neuman computing is not the path to cheap Petaflops, but BitGrid[3] is. (It's my personal hobby horse, I may be biased) -- I believe that AGI has likely already occurred, and we just don't know it yet. Either through MemGPT, or some variant thereof. [4] It's my belief that during training, an LLM learns superhuman cognitive skills, but they aren't impedance matched to deal with the bag of words output model. Furthermore, it's handy capped by the small context window it has to work with after it's trained. This is why we keep discovering new things they can do, after the fact. -- [1] https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Embedded_Growth_Obligations https://theportal.wiki/wiki/Embedded_Growth_Obligations [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability-based_security [3] https://github.com/mikewarot/Bitgrid https://github.com/mikewarot/Bitgrid [4] https://memgpt.ai/ https://memgpt.ai/
