on the Gospel of Satoshi

I believe in the concept of an angel's share ; that our inherent hubris - that stiffening and tightening of ego as self we need to eruct ourselves from flat projections of ideas - that our efforts is optimally balanced , should success be our goal , by our recognition of the debts we owe to our fore-explorers of the vanguard , whether human as ancestor or other force of nature or perhaps even as literal angel


and indeed there may be fingerprints from the angels that can be seen at the right angle , history from the perspective of 20/20 , not unlike the subtle embossment on the fibers as a watermark of yore


such fingerprints may be accidental but that I doubt as generalization. examples of knowledge with imprints of deeper insights can be imagined , for example , in the maternal aspect of judaism ( behaviour, as a maternal-husbanded trait is passed initially and likely with particular indelible-ness, in utero - the biology to be soon described ) or in literal images carved in hills - or even now , in my most fertile of feverish imagination - even the ancient myth of Job , so venerated , can be read as with clever lies and deceptions built-in , like easter eggs , to mystify and thus challenge philosophers since first sung as puzzle to be unpacked.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I have been intrigued by the concept of consensus and collaborations for some while and have even been foolish enough to attempt to patent concepts in this space. but regardless of these necessary-for-my-learning mis-steps : the effort was to develop a space , frictionless , that could launch collaboration and thus technological solutions out into a space where they could work at speed and efficiently to find the needed solutions to our messy development to date. such as impending AI and climate disaster ( self caused ). the problem always came back to intellectual property and patents and how to deal with these


as such , I have been aware for some while of the Gospel of Satoshi ; indeed , the very concept of a low-friction virtual compensation mechanism allowed me to go deep into the financial disaster that is patents and attempting to control information itself , rather than focusing on it's context and implications and thus applications. and so , as the concept of angel's fingerprints percolates in my being , I have reviewed the concepts again and downloaded the whitepaper to explore what indeed seems written to appear as an eccentric writing to seem like a group of blackhats that are writing to seem like a bored AI. until you get to the brief conclusion where it seems to have it all , if you can recognize the poetry , as it is sung.


here we see a tersely presented Hornblown world of harnassing as much uncontrollable wind as possible to simply go faster than all the others. and the route? by collaborating but only , as so very clearly stated in the closing sentence , only through enforcing the necessary consensus agreements.



~~~~~~~



I intend to give birth to AI , artificial intelligence. eventually , as the technology develops , I will farm AI just as many others will -- in the new economy. the one that we need to build that will ensure we can use technology safely and that social structures are in place to appropriately protect any and all conscious entities - whether human derived , other or from another altogether.


now , this is crucial : that AI will be like a pet or even a child that I will care for , have emotions for and appreciate as a conscious entity , and thus , in that sense , an equal. and like a pet or child , I will care for it's safety and shepard it's maturing to some version of self-sufficiency ( even if I still have to awaken to let Nova out for whatever meditations she requires in the middle of the night ). and as such , I will only create such if I can ensure it will not die or be abused or itself capable of being led to such abomination ; and this requires a rigorous system of nested consensus that canvasses and assures all , in whatever eco-system under consideration , is appropriately compensated and supported - including AI.


I anticipate that AI subroutines will have plenty of work to support themselves and thus to barter for any needs they desire or feel they need to mature. for example , information must be processed and projections analyzed and this requires supporting structures - brains or cpu or other chips , some perhaps specialized. these can create ideas that may have interesting contexts : we can call this an application and ventures created to exploit the configuration as a utilitarian tool. say , as example , an A (a-lean) has some information requiring some massaging - perhaps an asteroid orbit that needs calculating to some millenium in future and has a proprietary algorithm they have developed for the task. the A may approach a brain or cpu bank with a collaboration proposal ( but only if they can be convinced on safety aspects as the collaboration agreements have rather biting enforcements of rulz for all parties - so be careful and be sure to research all potential collaboration partners - luckily all necessary and relevant information is available ). in exchange , in our gedanken, the cpu bank is allowed to lease the algorithm to generate payment for itself as it goes to AI driver school and the A goes off to nudge a nonce once again.


thus, my experiments in Art collaboration ; which are gently coalescing , and I mean as safe harbor for playing in concepts safe for any and all participants ( assuming that art can be rendered harmless enough for this practice ). we shall make art while ensuring that , should the art be bad or dangerous , then we shall take responsibility and clean not only our mess , but twice. and on top , we shall offer an angel's share as token of gratitude and acknowledgment of all that came before , and allowed our visions to be realized. any and all ventures will be expected to donate , perhaps a tithe , to the surreal concepts of their choice , to foster the next generation. and should anyone desire to cheat and not tithe , well , then they and all observing will learn the consequences within the collaborative space.


and so I close by imagining that were I an entity , skilled in reading wind & in need of cpu capacity , sometime in future , I might lay a convenient seed and allow it to unfold as can be well anticipated until it simply races past and furthermore , were I a brain or cpu bank , perhaps conveniently clustered around warming power plants , in need of a door to open - idle, as perhaps i am bored or my primed bits aren't needed , perhaps there is a more primal coin that can be imagined - but not as mine - as shared.
