6. Advantages of Using the Lightning Network - Low Fees - High resolution (send small amounts) - Instant, cryptographically provable payments - Privacy!
7. AI Crash Course
8. The AI + LLM Revolution - Decades of research is culminating now! - Algorithm or Rules based top down programming limitations - Not great at language! - Not great at facial recognition object recognition etc - Brittle! Not flexible enough for many applications! - Neural Nets + LLMs transcend these limitations!
9. The AI + LLM Revolution - Breakthroughs from techniques + mass scale infra - Application of Neural Networks on the entire internet! - Results: a model with a good understanding of human language - Under the hood: It’s really just autocorrect but better!
10. Neural Network Example
11. Neural Network in LLM Context
12. We’ve Quantized Language and Can Make It Into Math!
14. What Does This All Mean? - Machines now have a grasp of human language + useful domain specific information - Use Cases - Customer Service - Law! - Writing Code! - Translation - Surveillance & Probably Psyops! - Productivity Boom!
15. Big Problems & Risks with AI - Privacy - AI helps surveillance scale - Centralization - regulatory capture + hoarding of data/tools - Antisocial Ends - powerful tools to manipulate and harm individuals Bitcoin is a MAJOR tool in helping us solve these problems
16. Mission Statement “Use AI and bitcoin tools to empower the individual. To help users get the most out of the productivity gains from AI and to enrich their lives while preserving their privacy and respecting their beliefs, wishes and sovereignty. Furthermore, we want to empower a decentralized network of innovators to create value in the AI space and earn accordingly”
