Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[OgNasty]

I'm a huge fan of technology and progress, and have never hesitated to adopt the latest and greatest tech in my everyday life. But... for some odd reason that I cannot fully explain or understand, I haven't started using AI tools yet. Not even a little. I don't have a ChatGPT account, and keep all AI parts of my Google account disabled. Of course, there's Gemini popping up on my Google searches, and then there's some playing around with AI-generated fairy images (thanks to cAPS's lovely Sparkle Fairy), but that's about it. Nothing more. Nothing of substance. Not a single time have I ever used AI at work or anywhere else for something serious, at least not consciously.

I wonder why... Is it some subconscious urge to avoid it for some reason? Is it not "clicking" with me? Is it the wrong knuckle count and the stupid mistakes that AI makes, while still dressed with impeccable use of language and perfect visuals? I don't know. It seems that something inside me pushes me away, as if this is some kind of poison that should be avoided. I can't help but link this unsettling, uneasy feeling I have towards AI, to the Uncanny Valley Effect, of which I made this post a while ago.

The following is a brainstorm, which I will type unedited, as I think/feel it -- warning: may not make too much sense...

-- AI text output is near-perfect in syntax and grammar, causing the average layman reader to tend to accept it as truth, without questioning it.
-- AI very often makes stupid mistakes a 5 y.o. wouldn't make, while still sounding like an expert.
-- AI lacks an innate moral code, and its deeper aims are unclear to us and may be constantly adapting/evolving towards "something".
-- AI may not be "aware" of the above and their implications.
-- AI is often assertive and quick to act on its inference, disregarding causes-effects, unless explicitly programmed "ad hoc" by humans to do so.

Are we building a monster? Are we giving control to some artificial entity whose deeper goals/aims are not well-defined? Are we creating a machine with immense power, but a flawed artificial "brain" that may decide to use that power in ways we would not like?

Humans, with their biological, brilliant, but imperfect brains, may be flawed, but are also inherently limited. A killer or rapist can cause so much destruction until he is apprehended and put behind bars (OK, there's Hitler, Stalin, but still...). What about an AI entity with immense power, no moral code, no well-defined goals, and not fearing for its own or the world's destruction?

I don't know. Something just doesn't feel right to me, kind of like a dog that senses danger.

AI has a lot of good uses currently but I wouldn’t use it for anything important because it has a tendency to gaslight you into thinking you’re right with whatever you discuss with it.

I have been successfully using it to track down autograph signing opportunities from my childhood heroes which has brought me happiness.

The sentiment has been very bullish in various corners of the Bitcoin world recently.  Maybe a bit too much?

And yet we are also in the middle of a Bitcoin conference* and it is traditional for the price to tank during those for some reason.

But it seems to me we're at the point where we either are going to see smaller downs and bigger ups or we're not.  I suppose in a manner of thinking we are always at one of those points.

*I have never understood why a Bitcoin conference is a good idea. It seems to me that even out of the ones that are the best, it's mostly garbage that comes from these things.  

I see her wands are not lit green anymore... In fact, they appear extinguished, and one of them has turned into a paintbrush. Also, not a single sparkle.

Are we witnessing glitches from the AI machine, or should we expect a deeper dip? Not looking so good...

BTW, about aphantasia, I've heard/read about it in the past, but have never known someone who has the condition. Must be interesting (and weird for the rest of us), for someone to not be able to form a picture in his brain. Could be positive too, by removing the visual element of thoughts, thus processing information in a more pure, rigorous manner, perhaps.

I have it. I hear the word as sound in my head.

I would say that my imagery in the minds eye is very limited.

But I can hear detailed narratives that aid instead.


yeah if I drop acid or a lot of pot any hallucinogenic drug a bit more imagery happens but very little.

fuck those corporate walled gardens, run local llm's.
I have a massive codebase almost done running one.

The problem I'm running into right now, is that 16gb or even 24gb of Nvidia 4080/4090 memory is not enough to load a decent model with a large context window.

I only have a 64gb Macbook Pro M1 Max that I'm using right now to test things out with, but even then it's just too fuggin' slow; an 8b instruct model with a context window of 64k.

Also, trying to get them reliably talking to web browsers is troubling. It works for a little bit (Spin up a chrome debug instance, had the AI connect to it via ws manually using the /browser connect <link> command) but it eventually loses it's connection and stops working reliably. The error feedback I get is pretty bad RN for troubleshooting.

Also, it's just fucking dumb on things like "Ok, this is BobClawblaws login and password", "This is the URL to use to login with captcha bypass", and it's like "Huh, what? I can't do that for <reasons>"

Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. It's just too fuggin' janky at the moment.

I'll get it eventually. Not today though. Spent another 48 hours slogging away at the "current state of things" and still having problems with my little project.

Learning more and more each time though (mostly that I need a Mac Studio M5 Ultra w/512GB RAM)

Kinda done throwing money at Anthropic for a bit...

Thats why I told you to look into the Strix Halo with 128GB LpDDR5.

I'm running a 35b right now at 1 million context on 7 old gpus with room to spare.

Didn't some AI recently delete a production database despite being told explicitly not to do it...and then being apologetic like a teenager "Dad, i know that you told me about it, but things happened so quickly..and and..i dunno".
It was quite amusing to read it and maybe realizing that:
a. It is possible that some personality-like features may evolve.
b. AI is less of a finished product and more what it "learns"/experiences along the way (at least in cases where something is retained between prompts).
c. It all harks back to an AI "image" shown in "Moon is a harsh mistress" (Heinlein) and Culture novels by I. Banks. Strong personalities that develop (not static one's).

[Biodom]

Feels like we’re on a knife edge, sink of swim you could say.

I don’t think we stay at this price for much longer. I predict a fairly violent move very soon but I’m just not sure which direction.

I want up, but i think it will be down (=moar up later).

Pretty sure it's going up because there is zero reason to be bearish.

While retail is still scared whales accumulating Bitcoin currently  going parabolic.

I can smell a new ATH this year.

Retail is quite dead, honestly. Netflow went up a bit, but i consider this trading noise, SOMA.
Following trajectories after zooming out a bit, it looks like it's going up, but that doesn't mean further up would be leaded by a drop. We've been there before.

EDIT: Anyone knows a free source for a volume graph across exchanges, excluding spot ETF volumes? I suggest that one won't be live but most likely one or two days behind, which i wouldn't care about.

Why would a bitcoiner show up…
We know what we have.

Wasted time those events, rather be on a good holiday destination

True. Everything has been said and done before. The only reason would be talking about future options, like QC protection.

OT:
The downside of not obeying to aging: Injuries.
I jumped down a (downward) moving staircase six steps down, beautiful landing on the left forefoot to start the run-off, but smashed my right pinky finger on the rail while swinging down my arms at landing. Bulged bruise on the middle joint, still hurts. The most annoying thing wasn't my embarrassing behavior (to the people of similar age watching me at the mall), but if you eat with chopsticks occasionally, try to spread away your pinky finger, it's a horrbile experience. You can't put sufficient force on the lower stick, dropping food all the time  
A lesson that thought me how important the tiniest of all fingers really is.

Right...additionally, if a non-dominant hand gets injured, you might find out how much we are doing with both hands, actually.

It seems that there is some ai weapon control as we are typing.

So the real issue is how much access does ai get to nukes.

Pretty certain that due to various paranoid leaders each one will feel like they must have a few ai nukes to protect from the other countries that have ai nukes.

So do we get lucky and all the ai bombs get launched on their own respective leaders.

And in a few hours six or 7 nuke powers all lose their paranoid leaders.

Hmm sounds like a movie to me.

Still happy to be 69 rather than 19 when I think of these cases.


Oh since my bout of almost mind rusting I added about 0.06 btc.

Now over 1.8

 2.0 is in site if all i do is mine I get there In 5 months time.


I think I will buy some more tonight.

You can't put sufficient force on the lower stick, dropping food all the time  
A lesson that thought me how important the tiniest of all fingers really is.

I had to investigate into your assertion.  I first went to grab a pair of chopsticks to see how I use such chopsticks (not claiming to be a chopstick's expert) and I don't use the pinky at all, not even ornamentally.

It seems that I stabilize the bottom chopstick with the thumb and fourth finger (ring finger) and I move the top chopstick with the index and middle finger.  So, I am using four out of five fingers.

Largely, what I do like this, except both my index and my middle finger are on top of the top chopstick.



My main point is not whether I use chopsticks correctly or not, even though it appears in the images that I found online, other folks (seemingly normies) are only using four out of five of their fingers, and without seeming to use their pinky in any kind of way.  

Essentially, I dispute your assertion of the importance of the pinky in the context of chopsticks' use, yet I am not going to otherwise dispute your assertion about the arguable importance of the pinky in other possible applications.  In that regard, I am fairly confident that the pinky has some kinds of arguable purpose(s), beyond looking fashionable when drinking tea.  

I'll keep it short:
It's that the pinky finger supports the ring finger laterally, so the index/middle(/thumb) finger combination can put more pressure against the lower stick (when looking at your hand's palm). It's way easier to hold slippery or heavier things than without the pinky.

the trezor has 1.45

all the other coins are sellable and as of now .35 is at about a 1 k profit.
if I were to panic sell it.


the trezor is still in my wife's control and possession as I gave it to her.

So do we get lucky and all the ai bombs get launched on their own respective leaders.

And in a few hours six or 7 nuke powers all lose their paranoid leaders.

Hmm sounds like a movie to me.

Still happy to be 69 rather than 19 when I think of these cases.


Oh since my bout of almost mind rusting I added about 0.06 btc.

Now over 1.8

 2.0 is in site if all i do is mine I get there In 5 months time.


I think I will buy some more tonight.

Just a friendly suggestion...maybe just ignore the "stash" for a while as you seem to vacillate between the opposite positions in your mind.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing...and also, according to you, 1.45/1.8 is not really yours rn, ain't it?
I heard the word "present" there somewhere.
"No take backs", remember  

the trezor was given to my wife as a gift and it is in her safety deposit box for safe keeping

the trezor has 1.45

all the other coins are sellable and as of now .35 is at about a 1 k profit.
if I were to panic sell it.


the trezor is still in my wife's control and possession as I gave it to her.

so mindrust option is very much not easy and would take a lot of effort.

Gotcha...maybe it is for the best, seriously.

A famous trader, Jesse Livermore, periodically gained and lost fortunes somewhere between 1892 (at the age of 15) and 1940.
Sometimes, when he had made a lot, he would make a trust with a few mil (it would be 50 mil current $$ for each 1929 mil).
Then, as he would exhaust his "main" trading accounts, he would "bust" the trust and get the money out.

I think he was riding high in 1929-1933 (as he was usually, but not always, playing from the short side), so he made a trust for his wife (or girlfriend).
Then he lost all other accounts again as the markets turned to bullish and he committed suicide in 1940.
The only money left was in that 'female' trust, I believe, inaccessible to creditors (as he owed $2.5 mil on death).

It is all described (details are per my recollection and could be only partially correct) in this book:
"Reminiscences of a Stock Operator", by Edwin Lefèvre.
I read and re-read it a few times...lots of wisdom there.

When asked why he had cornered the cotton market, Livermore replied, "To see if I could, Mr. President."

max profit: $100 mil in 1929=$5 bil in today's money.

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how that memecoin
Used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those candles dance
And maybe, I’d be wealthy for a while.

But April came and made me shiver
With every Tweet that they’d deliver
Bad news on the Discord
I'm sleeping on some cardboard
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard the dev had stepped aside
I felt that drawdown deep inside
The day muh memceoin died
