No, I think you are confusing the two kinds of trusts: a revocable trust means you still own the money or property, an irrevocable trust means you don’t own it anymore. Either you “give it away” in an irrevocable trust (which can’t be “dissolved”), or you don’t give it away (in a revocable trust).

You are describing putting something in a revocable trust, which is not spending it or giving it away. It’s closer to just putting a label on it: “this money is for charity”. You don’t get a tax deduction unless you put the money in a irrevocable charitable trust or the charity actually receives the money (from any source, trust, whatever).

That’s giving the money away. Either you are still controlling the trusts, or you gave the money to the trusts.

I think this is going to look like crap in 10 years. I support building your own, I just think it can be done way better.

This may shock and amaze you but…

there is more than one user for your product. If you don’t know that, it sounds like you either haven’t done a user survey or you haven’t created the correct user profiles (based on that survey).

Creating a “perfect UI” without asking users what they want is not good UX. It’s just masturbation. The user survey tells you that people want A B C, etc. and in which order. You should know exactly how your changes are going to be received when you release them.

Imagine a restaurant that doesn’t ask you what you want. Instead the chef tells you “This is the best food possible” and just makes what they want. That’s what developing without a user survey is like.

Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.

It’s called a “name”.

Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.

ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.

generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.

It’s hard to say where exactly the responsibility sits for various LLM problems

Uhh… it’s the designers, or maybe QA people. If there are no QA people, it’s whatever project manager let it out of it’s cage.

There are people behind these models. They don’t spring out of the ground fully formed.

They said AI would take you places. They never said they were places you wanted to go.

I just realized something: since most people have no idea what AI is, it could easily be used to scam people. I think that will be it’s main function originally.

Like the average person does not have access to real time stock data. You could make a fake AI program that pretends to be a trading algorithm and makes a ton of pretend money as the mark watches. The data would be 100% real and verifiable, just picked a few seconds after the the fact.

Since most people care a lot about money, this will be some of the first widespread applications of real time AI. Just tricking people out of money.

It isn’t particularly hard to call this out. Just say “I haven’t done anything since Friday.” And leave it at that.

Be comfortable with silence.

PMs act that way because people above them ask for updates regularly. Bad PMs don’t know how to push back. If you need things done faster, the answer is usually “we need more resources”.

This doesn’t answer the question: what is the purpose behind adding the vulnerability? What specific things are vulnerable? What could it be used to do?

But it doesn’t even say “Sign in” in German. It says “Das Bootton” because someone thought it would be funny and never changed it.

Actually the front end stuff is more like “we need to make the ‘sign in’ button bigger. No one can click it because it’s tiny, and it’s in German.”

All countries? Uh, Russian, Indian, and Chinese billionaires have much more freedom to do whatever they want.

In the US, Donald Trump (who claims to be a billionaire) is currently being fined $450 million dollars for underpaying his taxes. He accrues $110K per day in interest on that fine. And he was President of the US!

And violent overthrow is not a “founding block of American Democracy”. Right after he won the Revolutionary War, George Washington used the Army to put down an American revolution against taxes:

This dude sounds loud and incorrect.

If you’re talking about

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fountain_(Duchamp)

that’s a seminal work of avant guard art. You are still talking about it 100 years later. It’s obviously great art.

Art is a work of visual, auditory, or written media that makes you feel emotion. That’s it. Does this pile of rocks make you feel happy or sad or anything? Then it’s art.

AI makes pictures like a camera does. It doesn’t make it art unless you make something that evokes emotion.

creativity has been one of the first walls to fall

Uh, no? Unless you think unhinged nonsense without thought is “creative”. Right now, these programs are like asking a particularly talented insane person to draw something for you.

Creativity is not just creation. It’s creation with purpose. You can “create art” by breaking a vase. That doesn’t mean it’s good art.
