My pitch to the public: “Join the Fediverse and help build the weird new Internet.”
The Epsilon galaxy is a friendly outpost of services in the brave new decentralized digital universe, now known as the Fediverse. (I coined the term Fediverse “galaxy” to refer to a cluster of federated services/nodes run by a single entity, and it’s gained some traction on Mastodon).
My galaxy is completely bootstrapped, no VC investment: https://epsilon.lol
We even have our first paying customer (8 euro/ year)!

"This way, Chrome gives you a personalized, predictable browsing experience."
Right... "predictable."

Also, when did backups go from $2/month to $5/month per linode? What a joke.

Sad but expected price increase on short notice.
RIP Linode (2003-2023)

This is fascinating and impactful for AGI as likely the action-plan for the robot will be generated token by token similar to an LLM.
Assume you have a robot instructed to protect humans.
How do you verify the action-plan passes moderation (i.e. doesn't harm a human) when the individual actions each do pass moderation, but the plan as a whole is dangerous (will harm a human).
Waiting to verify the entire chain of actions before starting actions in motion means your reaction time is slower.
If the robot is standing at a crosswalk, and sees a girl about to get hit by a car, he has to decide if he will push the girl out of the way, or if that action will cause greater harm.
The individual actions (activate arm, move arm towards girl, orient hand, shove girl out of path of car, etc) might each look beneficial to the human but as a whole actually are harmful.
However, the reaction time for the robot to save the girl might require near-immediate response.
Do you start processing the pipeline immediately or do you wait to verify the entire thing passes moderation?
