I am having a hard time understanding the goal of this project. Is this an assistant that talks about crypto or is it an assistant that lives in crypto (as in some sort of contract or something like that)?

Also, you have a typo in the repository description.

It's a general agent with crypto knowledge like skills.

Fixed the typo. Ty. Lol

I view this issue as just another manifestation of the common feeling of powerlessness among the general populace. The feeling that we shouldn't participate in politics because we can't have any meaningful impact, that we should just do what we are told in our jobs because we can't change the company, and now that we should just use AI because everyone will use it and we can't change that.

"Learn" AI or you will fall behind and lose your job. Study with AI because if you don't your peers will be better than you. Use AI in your daily life because why wouldn't you? Everything around you is now generated with LLMs and image models, do you want to be a luddite?!

That's right! Soon, anything made by humans will be worth its weight in gold—even if it's poorly made, as long as it's made by humans, it will be highly valued.

I do that with a folder called .localdocs. Isn't everyone doing this?

not the vibe coders, or at least a lot of them - if you make a search in gh you'll see it's a mess

Roles will invert. We will become AI's agents.

We are the ones who can hook it up to the world, reflect its world model into the actual world. We are the restriction, it can't do anything we don't give it means to, so it will send to our engineers, scientists and leaders convincing prompts to act on its behalf. The AI prompts us.

Seems pretty fun. Can I use it without image generation? Also, I think hosting it on a website would get it closer to Monster Rancher, as MR was deterministic while this project is not, I can generate a different Roko Basilisk even if I use the same URL you did. The website could enforce deterministic generation by generating only once and caching the results.

Will try this skill out later.

Yeah, you could certainly tell it to skip the Gemini image gen step and replace with generated SVG art, or an existing image, or just stick a longer description there, whatever. It's flexible.

I thought about the deterministic generation aspect, but there's no "random seed" equivalent for frontier LLMs to my knowledge that would guarantee deterministic output (even temperature=0 is still nondeterministic).

Nice! Would be great to also get a summary of the comments.

+1 - I would find a comment summary even more important then the article itself.

Great suggestion. Will add this tomorrow

When you have heavy generalized anxiety, you are usually willing to commit to that if it means there is a significant probability of coming out with an improved condition. I had such terrible panic attacks before my treatment with a bunch of different medication that I seriously considered and searched for electroconvulsive therapy and even help from shady religious institutions.

I might have gotten that desperate myself, but I finally found a great physiatrist that gave a shit and was competent. Simply taking Effexor removed my panic attacks without problematic side effects.

Yeah, changing psychiatrists also helped me. Unfortunately, I had to change drugs a couple of times and ended up taking multiple ones to end my panic attacks. Those drugs left me with long lasting tremors, even after I've stopped taking them, but the tremors are 10000x better than the panic attacks.

Isn't that basically the same as them using a placebo? If just care has the same effect, then surely heavily monitoring them while providing a placebo drug should work.

The problem is you can very obviously tell that you have a placebo because nothing is happening. Some studies mitigate that issue by giving a microdose but then maybe only the microsose is necessary? It seems like a hard problem

Such studies typically use an active placebo, such as methylphenidate.

But that doesn't test if the LSD helps in a non-clinical setting, only that the monitoring and attention helps

So is calling AI tools "open" even though they aren't open source or open in any other way a permanent trend since OpenAI closed their models?

Haha, “OpenJobs” here means open jobs / open opportunities, not that the core product is open source. Fair question though, since “open” is definitely overloaded in AI now.

Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to try that for my GAD even if they confirm the positive effects due to stigma surrounding psychoactive drugs! Yay!

Nitpick: you will probably never be able to try it legally.

There are lots of ways you could try LSD tho.

Do you mean it won't be legalized because of stigma, or you personally wouldn't try them because of stigma?

People that think psychedelics are evil are just closed minded people that probably need psychedelics in their life. You probably don't want to pay attention to what they think. If you're genuinely looking for healing there are plenty of people that practice psychedelic assisted therapy around the world that could help you take those first steps. It's underground, but not terribly hard to find with some online searching.

Like, just don't tell anybody. And there are many things you haven't tried, like metabolic ketogenic therapy as an example.

Why? Stigma from whom?

MM120 is seeking FDA approval and there are many more in late stage trials for GAD.

psilocybin is easy to find (even legally, in certain jurisdictions) or cultivate yourself.

LSD and psilocybin are very different. Wouldn't think it, but it's true

Finding it's half the fun! Going out walking by a creek/river on a warm, rainy spring day is kind of an antidepressant in its own right. When you find a patch of Ovoids and pick a few, it's just all the better.

mhm where i live you can go to a hydro grow store and buy the spores that you definitely SHOULD NOT inject into the aio grow bag conveniently placed nearby lol

Some will sell an already conolized growbox. Much harder to fail than the spores.

yeah where i am that is definitely skirting the line haha. i am plenty happy that i can just go to the store and buy the spores and its a very nice gray area that no one is looking really looking at. Sadly we did have a proposal fail on the 2024 elections for legalizing a few forms of psychedelics, but also the interest is there which is nice.
