I'm working with Claude on an amazing set of perks for the public members of the Scientific Bitcoin Institute.
It is an academic non-profit but we will accept memberships at different tiers with very nice perks like dashboards with Bitcoin news, power law charts and much more.
You can start signing up for our free newsletter and you will get an update when the membership feature are ready.

Saying a language model is "just" predicting tokens is like saying the human brain is "just" firing neurons, or that physics is "just" particles bumping into each other. The objective may be simple. What the system has to construct internally to achieve that objective is anything but.
To predict the next word well across mathematics, code, law, fiction, philosophy, jokes, lies, and counterfactuals, a model has to build in

Hating AI is hating humanity.
