That's not the whole point at all. And there are truly wild west cryptos, but most people want some trustworthy regulatory body, whether it's a government or not, backstopping their funds when they get large enough.

For instance to unwind a 5 billion dollar robbery

Where are the papers???

It's cool as fuck but calling it flying is misleading. It jumps and can maneuver in space.

yes pretty much, spin up a vm, run your coding agent of choice and ask it to reverse engineer whatever part of the app you need. You dont need to setup the emulation sandbox or even download the app, agent can take care of that.

Its a lot of work to actually be anonymous, use a clean browser, vpn, tor, etc... It's too easy to slip up.

UX is not a moat, especially in the era of AI software replication. I disagree that there are network effects for MUSE, maybe there will be at some point (e.g. vendors or something sign up for it) but I would love to hear why its better to be on muse when more people use it? Barrier to entry is somewhere they have an advantage, but not more of an advantage than google, or really anyone who has an app installed on your phone already.

Social networks have network effects, an ai assistant does not

Muse is not sticky at all, it's just OpenClaw wrapped in meta branding. Any company can roll one out

I've had some luck with this too. Every device you buy wants you install an app on your phone. Not if I can help it.

Wish I could release the apps I've "made", but worry about DMCA

It's hard to interface with society this way. I'm the same as you and have waxed and waned many times. There are periods where I'm all about being social and living a normal life. There are other times where I'm just down to only sleep when I'm dead tired (as opposed to using drugs to keep me in normal rhythm). There are tradeoffs

Live on East Coast, take a west coast remote job. 9am Meeting is noon.

I did this for several years. It works great

Lol, like it's some sort of psy-op. I dont check hackernews that often. My point was that banks are pushing one factor, just the phone, by requiring you to use your phone number or their app as the 'second factor'. I don't know which banks you can use without a phone number in the US.

What you can do is create a second email that is not at all accessible on your phone, but this is not what 99.9% of people do.

you don't have access to your email on your phone?

How do you get around this? Literally every bank, brokerage, etc... is hell bent on you using your phone for everything from 2FA to passkeys, etc... They dont even imagine people have computers anymore or want two+ physical devices/controls on what can be done with which factors

> There was never any plausible explanation for why this wouldn’t happen.

What a nice post hoc revision of history. Distillation is still an active area of research, that you can distill models as easily as you can it genuinely interesting and absolutely not something that was taken for granted even 12 months ago.

Even 6 months ago this idea that 'using model outputs as training examples' was listed as the reason that all models would fail in the near future due to some spooky circular training catastrophe.

Don't pretend like this was so obvious.
