I'm obviously biased but I think @devanshmehta talk. Because @deep_funding is going to change the ecosystem and take us mainstream. This is not a prediction. It's a spoiler.

Which talk at @ethmumbai are you most excited about?

Actually I strongly disagree. I know I'm in the minority (for now) but I think AI will be the unlock that Ethereum needs. For disclosure, I've been frequenting the @OfficialINDIAai summit, where I've been chatting with folks about @deep_funding (currently on @seer_pm) and it's a very different kind of energy. I actually want to brag about the cool folks I've been meeting, but I strongly sense these guys hate it and will never do business with you if you breathe a word about this stuff until a deal is done. So I will resist. If I'm right then @ethereum will make a profit and I'll be a prophet. 😌😌 (Geddit? Heheh).

@badcryptobitch

Ngl, this feels like the beginning of the end. When companies, projects, etc start parroting things in line with the current "narrative", you know the leadership has stopped believing in anything Like countless trendy things before, it means you are dying and hoping to stay x.com/ethereum/statu…

In continuation of my @slatestarcodex peace offering arc, I will point readers to one of my favourite posts of his - The Book Review for Red Plenty: slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/24/...… It's a book about one of the world's biggest debates - Communism v Capitalism. It's a bit different than the usual "under communism everyone is lazy" story. Instead here, the big challenge is ALLOCATION. The allocation project I am most interested in as of today is @deep_funding . Scott, if you're reading this you should know one of the brains behind this is @devanshmehta - who impressed you with his impact assessment project as you mentioned here: astralcodexten.com/p/impact-ma...… (Does the giant gold golf ball city ring a bell?). It's also an AI alignment project, though people talk about it less in those terms, so that might make it interesting for you as well. (Also since you half-apologised for the Scott Adams post, my offer to keep my end of the deal to help your cause stands: open.substack.com/pub/astralco...… )

Book Review: Red Plenty

I. I decided to read Red Plenty because my biggest gripe after reading Singer’s book on Marx was that Marx refused to plan how communism would actually work, instead preferring to leave the e…

I made it into a @slatestarcodex post! I'm famous now 😤 Bye bye losers. I'm never talking to you again. Muhahahah. Jokes aside, dammit I made it for a reason less than ideal. For beefing with him. I wanted an apology and I got a half-apology. But it's a start and it's a peace offering. I'll take it. Hey Scott (rationalist blogger), appreciate your move. Happy to bridge the gap more if needed. I made an offer to someone else in the comments section of the thread that I would help with your cause using Scotts persuasion stack. Let me know if you want to talk. My DMs are open.
