It's actually a culture thing. A) People go to Youtube or tiktok mainly for entertainment, knowledge and news. So creators who can make the most out of all three dimensions are rewarded. B) On short form platform like twitter, it's mainly used as a source of news, then sharing ideas and opinions. Authentic and quick news source is highly rewarded on twitter. As per opinions and ideas are flooded with arguments ranging from celebs, gossips, sports to informed opinion. Most people's content lies on celebs, gossips area as to informed opinion. Therefore, banger high quality opinion is hardly rewarded if it's from smaller account

The second result would be extremely exciting as it would allow us to interact with nature in wildly interesting ways

If an isolated quantum system were to generate a zk proofs with something much harder security, like say lattices or something entirely quantum. Would the quantum state collapse? If it would collapse, then we're merely scratching surface with our machines. If it does not collapse, then it would provide us a way to learn about the quantum state without measuring it (Assuming perfect isolation)

There must be something beyond than how we're building ZK systems. We have to peek more into mathematical structures. We're too reliant on curves and discrete log assumptions. Langlands program is some fascinating direction we could maybe look into.

If protein structures have a pattern on how they statically fold, is their some sort of equivalence transformation to RNA or other biologically important components?

If Stuart Hameroff is correct, then the real question would be can we make machines closely approximate consciousness?

Do I think it's similar to how we human minds operate. Probably not but it would be closely approximating it. Bringing determinism in a probabilistic system is challenging but logical thing to do as, our whole classical world is an approximation of quantum mechanics. Consciousness could be a quantum phenomenon like Penrose Hameroff suggested. We are able to move from one system to other system, from Lucas Penrose argument that would mean consciousness could be the only thing allowing this. Brain and neural networks, even language itself is very important for intelligent task. But understanding could very well be an innate property of consciousness. That could explain how human child can do arbitrary arithmetic while neural nets can't neural nets depends on pattern prediction just like human brain, but understanding by virtue of consciousness allows us to transcend the rules.

I believe for AI we have to step back and look at smaller but important problems that AI can't solve right now. Like basic arithmetic, unlike humans who by grasping concept of arithmetic can extrapolate to any arbitrarily large numbers of operands, neural nets can't do that especially if you're input data is just a bunch of arithmetic pairs and output. But that's changing promising research from Waterloo changes that: https://arxiv.org/abs/2502.16763 . This can be further worked on for other arbitrary algorithms and even languages as they conform to grammatical rules and structure.

Twitter is getting too tiresome, it's same UX debate, we're so early debate

Selling privacy is hard, it's cool but lacks incentives. Kind of like working in hard core cryptography or doing pure math

I once had a chat with one of the founders. They're from MIT. These days they're pretty popular

Do you think industry is taking wrong direction on not embracing tokens as unregistered securities due to regulatory scrutiny, instead rebranding it as "utility tokens", with both having potential to be a playground for bad actors regardless. Most project don't need a token like polymarket, and only should if they want to do governance and revenue sharing like stocks
