Supersightis in the Blockchain Infrastructure Industry

Supersight

Let’s skip the technobabble and talk about how blockchain will impact the wallets of you, me and maybe even your mom. WTF is blockchain, really? We’ve been bombarded with this, and that, but really…why should the Average Joe give a #$%?? decentralization trustlessness So let’s start with what blockchain actually does: Blockchain individual contributions, and in some cases, to these contributors. VERIFIES DISTRIBUTES VALUE A glorified ledger that tracks . Cool. But let’s be honest with ourselves, this sounds like gibberish to most people, especially our parents. stuff What does this for the Average Joe? actually mean Blockchain will provide a way for people (and things) to be compensated for ALL types of contributions: big or small, work or leisure. Your previously INVALUABLE skills, knowledge, creativity and time…now have VALUE. Fancy shmancy. To understand how we get there, let’s revisit history. Internet = “Information Superhighway” Back when Kurt Cobain, Tupac and Biggie were still alive, the Average Joe described the Internet as the A cheesy phrase if you ask me, but still better than “Information Superhighway.” Hypertext Transfer Protocol. Like blockchain, the Internet means different things to different people. At its core, however, it solved a major problem from the Real World. It’s cumbersome and expensive to share information in the Analog world, especially around the globe. The “ solved this by providing instant global distribution of digital information. These new capabilities have ushered in a period of unprecedented new value creation. Information Superhighway” But, where the F did all the value (aka money) go?!? The Internet, aka “ provides instant global distribution of digital info Information Superhighway,” Today’s challenges with “Value” How does one determine the “value” of an item or activity? It’s a difficult and rather esoteric exercise, so the tendency is to valuate based off either initial inputs (e.g. time spent) or final outputs (e.g. product, cash flow), ignoring most everything in between. Outdated compensation models Today’s organizations are incredibly reliant on the cooperation and contributions of its employees. So it’s mind-blowing that companies still compensate their employees using Industrial Era models that haven’t changed in 100+ years: hourly wages, salaries based on attendance, and flat rates based on time spent. Input, time-based compensation is woefully inefficient for compensating productive work in today’s modern economy. Even worse, it undervalues important contributions such as leadership, mentorship and cooperation. Ignored contributors On the other end of the valuation challenge, you have many stakeholders and contributors who are “left out in the cold.” For example, consider that the vast majority of Facebook’s content is provided by consumers and small business partners. Yet, these contributors are often under-compensated or not compensated at all. The collective value from their contributions is instead held by the Facebook corporation that owns the final product and its associated digital info. Concentrated control Whether one is valuating contributions based on initial inputs or final outputs, both methods rely on a centralized player to determine and distribute compensation. A centralized entity that determines how much is worth. your time A centralized entity that owns the final product, all of its associated info, and much of its accrued value…and has the to distribute value to you (or not) as it sees fit. exclusive choice To put it more plainly, just imagine you had a boss like Michael Scott deciding the value of all your work contributions… Valuating your work like it’s 1918 Distributin’ ain’t easy What about the centralized entities who ? do want to compensate their contributors $30+ billion Airbnb and $60+ billion Uber have the crucial role of their sharing economy contributors: publicly acknowledged “We believe that enabling private companies to grant [sharing economy participants] equity in the company from an earlier stage would further align incentives between such companies and their sharing economy participants to the benefit of both.” But as the illustrated, good intentions may not be enough to overcome the significant hurdles in distributing “value” to contributors. Today’s regulatory frameworks and liquidity options are simply not designed for free-flowing distribution of “value.” Juno case Blockchain = more precise, less biased valuations Bitcoin’s appropriately named consensus model, in a nutshell, is a transparent way to verify one’s work contributions. proof of work Art and science…but more science By using math to directly verify work contributions, Bitcoin and other blockchains are able to pinpoint the “value” of an individual’s contribution from the larger haystack. Think of it like MRI scans for valuations. Direct and precise verification lays the groundwork for new valuation models that will be magnitudes better than previous models that relied on indirect and imprecise inputs and outputs. As consensus and valuation models improve, I’d expect an exponential growth in the number of activities and contributions that will be efficiently compensated. Gatekeepers not required A transparent verification process means anyone around the world . This makes it that much more difficult for a misbehaving gatekeeper (like Michael Scott) to suppress, ignore or manipulate the “value” of your contributions. can see where the value is coming from Transparency combined with well-designed incentives (aka value distribution) means we can avoid the altogether. centralized Leviathan Blockchain = wider, more aligned distribution Besides giving us the warm fuzzies, why should we care about distributing “value” to contributors? Because incentives drive us. When “value” is offered as an incentive, humans will literally move mountains. Case in point: Silicon Valley. Mo Distribution, Mo Value When asked about Silicon Valley’s greatest innovation, iconic products typically come to mind: the personal computer, smart phones, social networks, etc. But perhaps Silicon Valley’s greatest innovation isn’t technological, rather, it’s behavioral, in the form of employee stock options. Let me explain. Valley tech companies the distribution of company equity to employees, essentially transforming these employees into mini-owners. These employees were then incentivized to grow their individual wealth by aligning their work activities with the interests of the larger company. Today, tech companies’ dominance of the stock market and our everyday lives highlights the effectiveness of using value distribution to align groups of people. pioneered The from Silicon Valley is that “value” is NOT a . insight zero-sum game The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The for blockchain is that value distribution incentivizes the group alignment that creates even more “value.” The wider the value distribution, the greater the group alignment, the more net “value” is generated. lesson Employee stock options democratized ownership of company “value” from a few founders to thousands of employees. Blockchain takes this democratization to a whole new level to include MILLIONS, perhaps even BILLIONS of consumers, partners and other contributors. Blockchain = “Value Superhighway” Tying together better valuation models with wider distribution give us the conditions for blockchain to be a superhighway for in the same way the Internet was a superhighway for . value, information Blockchain, aka “ provides instant global distribution of digital value Value Superhighway,” The Internet solved a major problem of the Analog World by digitizing stuff and distributing it everywhere. However, the Internet still sucks at distributing value. Blockchain solves this problem by valuating stuff and distributing it everywhere. Just as the Internet was built off the lessons and infrastructure of the Analog World, so will blockchain build off the lessons and infrastructure of the Internet. How will this affect my wallet? Multiple income streams FTW Consider the many different work activities you perform for your job today. Now think about the many different leisure activities you enjoy. What if you could be compensated for each of these work and leisure activities? In fact, there already are several blockchain solutions that compensate you for activities such as , the web, , and even . answering surveys browsing online shopping watching TV Now, not every activity can or should be compensated via blockchain. But just as the Internet enabled completely new ways to make money (did anyone predict social media managers?), blockchain will do the same. So the bigger question is how such a future will affect you, your family, friends and colleagues? Would having multiple income streams change your attitude towards your 9-to-5 job? How would you allocate your free time? How would you differentiate between Work and Play if you’re getting compensated for both? The Long Road Ahead Construction on Route 66 The Internet, aka “Information Superhighway,” required decades of iteration on products, ecosystems and business models to arrive at an efficient global network for information. Likewise, for blockchain, aka “Value Superhighway,” much work remains on what is today, just a dirt trail. This is a multi-decade journey that will require patience as the industry proceeds . But the underlying ingredients are incredibly promising: one bite at a time Thanks to improved valuations and better aligned distribution on the “Value Superhighway,” blockchain will have a major impact on how we organize, work and play. In future posts, I’ll explore in more detail how blockchain will touch our daily lives, as well as dive into the building blocks of the “Value Superhighway.” Progress never proceeds in a straight line — there will certainly be plenty of detours, dead-ends and accidents along the way. My hat goes off to all the entrepreneurs, investors, regulators, academics, and most of all — the contributors, who are paving the road for others to follow. I’m just happy to go along for the ride. Like what you read? If so, please hold the clap button to clap away! Follow to be notified of future posts. Thanks to Luke Xie , Matthieu Courtin , Ed Wu , Jim Breese and Rajiv Pardiwala for their invaluable feedback.

Amazon Falcon Lite vs OpenAI ChatGPT - The Large Language Model Battle

Welcome back, friends! In the wild expanse of the internet, there's a place that often sparks curiosity and intrigue—the Dark Web. Just as the name suggests, it's a little mysterious, and maybe a bit scary. But let's clear the air and set some things straight. The is a piece of the internet puzzle that's intentionally hidden away. It's like the underground network of the internet, accessible only through special browsers. And despite the ominous name and reputation, the Dark Web isn't just a shadowy haunt for cybercriminals. It's also a haven for activists seeking to avoid persecution, whistleblowers looking to share their truths, or everyday folks who value their privacy. Dark Web Before you take your first steps into this digital 'back-alley', I must stress the importance of understanding the legal and ethical implications. Accessing the Dark Web is not an illegal act, but participating in certain activities within it certainly can be. It's a bit like stepping into a city with hidden corners - it's okay to explore, but straying down the wrong path can land you in hot water. If you're an iPhone user, I have published another guide on . But in this piece, I'm going to focus on how Android and PC users can navigate this hidden part of the internet. So, are you ready to dive in? Let's demystify the Dark Web together. how to access the dark web on iPhones Disclaimer: This post includes affiliate links If you click on a link and make a purchase, I may receive a commission at no extra cost to you. What’s The Difference Between Surface Web, Deep Web, and Dark Web Before diving deeper, it's helpful to understand the structure of the internet, which I like to compare to an iceberg. At the top, visible above the water, we have the Surface Web, the part of the internet we all know and use daily. It's where you find websites like Google, Facebook, Wikipedia - all the sites indexed by standard search engines. Submerged beneath that is the Deep Web, making up the bulk of the iceberg. The Deep Web includes all the pages not indexed by search engines, including emails in your inbox, your online banking details, or the data behind a paywall. It's not necessarily hidden for sinister reasons, but mostly to protect privacy and security. At the very bottom, we find the Dark Web. It's a small portion of the Deep Web that's been intentionally hidden and is inaccessible through standard web browsers. Here, users can access websites anonymously, which leads us to the next point. Why People Use the Dark Web? The Dark Web may have a bad reputation, but it isn't used solely for illicit activities. The anonymity it provides makes it a valuable tool for many legitimate and important uses. Here are a few: : Journalists and activists, particularly in countries with strict censorship laws, often use the Dark Web to communicate safely and share information without fear of retaliation. Privacy & Freedom of Expression : Platforms like SecureDrop on the Dark Web offer a secure and anonymous way for whistleblowers to share sensitive information with media outlets. Whistleblowing : Law enforcement agencies, researchers, and cybersecurity experts may use the Dark Web in their work, investigating cybercrimes, studying online behavior, or understanding security threats. Research : In countries with restricted internet access, the Dark Web provides an avenue to bypass censorship and access information freely. Circumvent Censorship So, as you see, the Dark Web isn't all shadows and crime - it's also a beacon of freedom for some, lighting the way through the murkier depths of the internet. Safety Measures Before Accessing the Dark Web Imagine you're about to explore a new, uncharted territory. It's thrilling, sure, but also fraught with unexpected hazards. That's exactly what venturing into the Dark Web feels like. And just like any smart explorer, you need your safety gear—in this case, it's all about online safety measures. One of the key tools in your digital survival kit should be a Virtual Private Network, or . Picture a VPN as a secret tunnel that camouflages your online activity. It encrypts your data (think secret code) and masks your location by hiding your IP address, which is essentially your device's ID on the internet. On the Dark Web, a VPN can be your invisible cloak, giving you an additional layer of much-needed anonymity and security. VPN I recommend —it's one of the most secure VPNs out there. NordVPN Next, consider antivirus software. The Dark Web can sometimes feel like a sketchy back alley where you might bump into all sorts of cyber threats. Antivirus software is like your personal bodyguard, spotting and neutralizing these potential threats before they can harm your device. Similarly, a firewall functions as a vigilant sentinel, scrutinizing the data entering and leaving your system, and slamming the door shut on anything suspicious. However, remember, as long as you're using a VPN, an antivirus isn't a must-have unless you're already using one. Lastly, just as you'd regularly service your car before a long journey, make sure your device's software, along with your Dark Web browser, is up to date. Developers constantly fix security loopholes in newer updates that could be exploited by the bad guys if left unattended. The Dark Web is a home for hackers. Depending on what you access and who you talk to, a VPN and Antrivirus software may not be enough to keep your device secure. You should always DYOR and understand the risks associated with browsing The Dark Web. DISCLAIMER: What is Tor? Ever heard of Tor? No, it's not the hammer-wielding Norse god. It's a powerful tool that's essential for those venturing into the Dark Web. , short for The Onion Router, is a unique browser designed to make your online presence anonymous. Tor Picture Tor as an internet superhighway, but instead of a straight line from point A to B, it's a winding path through multiple random points. Your data, or more accurately, the layers of it (hence the 'Onion' in the name), is encrypted and sent through several different servers around the world. At each stop, a layer of encryption is peeled off to reveal the next destination. This process repeats until the data reaches its final destination. Because of this roundabout journey, anyone trying to spy on the data can't trace it back to you. Why is Tor essential for accessing the Dark Web? Simply put, standard browsers like Chrome or Firefox can't access .onion sites, the websites of the Dark Web. Tor, however, can, while also offer a degree of anonymity. Keep in mind that while Tor increases privacy, it doesn't make you entirely untraceable. That's where our trusty friend, the VPN, comes back into play, enhancing your security further. How to Access the Dark Web on a Computer Step 1: Download and Install the Tor Browser To embark on your Dark Web adventure from a computer, your first step is to download and install the Tor browser. Think of it as your compass for navigating the Dark Web. Head over to the official . It's crucial to download it from the official source to avoid any malicious versions of the browser. Once there, select the version that suits your operating system (Windows, MacOS, or Linux), download it, and follow the prompts to install, much like any other browser. Tor Project website Step 2: Tips for Using Tor Safely on a Computer Now that you have Tor installed, here are some tips to use it safely: : As much as possible, avoid sharing any personal details that can be linked back to your real-world identity. Don't Provide Personal Information s: Remember, not all .onion sites are safe or legal. Steer clear of any sites offering illegal services or goods. Stick to Legal Site : To bolster your security, consider disabling JavaScript, as it can be exploited to reveal your identity. You can do this from the Tor's security settings. Disable JavaScript : For an added layer of security, make sure to connect your VPN before opening the Tor browser. Use a VPN ! NordVPN 3 Months Free The Dark Web is a home for hackers. Depending on what you access and who you talk to, a VPN and Antrivirus software may not be enough to keep your device secure. You should always DYOR and understand the risks associated with browsing The Dark Web. DISCLAIMER: Step 3: List of Some .onion Sites and What They Offer (Legal Sites Only) The Dark Web is not all dark. There are several .onion sites offering a range of legal services and resources. Here are a few: : This is the Dark Web version of the popular non-profit newsroom that produces investigative journalism in the public interest. ProPublica ( ) https://www.propub3r6espa33w.onion/ : A directory of other .onion sites to help you navigate your way around the Dark Web. The Hidden Wiki ( ) http://zqktlwiuavvvqqt4ybvgvi7tyo4hjl5xgfuvpdf6otjiycgwqbym2qad.onion/wiki/index.php/Main_Page : A privacy-focused search engine that doesn’t track your searches, now available on the Dark Web. DuckDuckGo ( ) http://3g2upl4pq6kufc4m.onion/ : A whistleblower submission system where media organizations can securely accept documents from anonymous sources. SecureDrop ( ) http://secrdrop5wyphb5x.onion/ How to Access the Dark Web on Android Device To access the Dark Web on Android, you'll need two key apps: Orbot and Orfox. Orbot is like Tor for Android—it connects your device to the Tor network. Orfox, on the other hand, is a web browser that, like the Tor browser, allows you to access .onion sites. Step 1: Install and Use Orbot and Orfox Download Orbot and Orfox from the Google Play Store. They're free and relatively small, so they won't take up much space. Open Orbot and tap "Start". This will connect your device to the Tor network. The process may take a few moments. Once Orbot is connected, you can now open Orfox. Use it just like any other browser, but remember, it's your gateway to the Dark Web, so surf responsibly. Step 2: Safety Measures While Using the Dark Web on Android Even on Android, the basic rules for Dark Web exploration apply: Always use a VPN alongside Orbot and Orfox for enhanced security. Avoid sharing any personal information. Be wary of downloading anything from the Dark Web. Stick to the legal side of the Dark Web. Armed with these guidelines and tools, you can venture into the Dark Web safely, even on an Android device. Remember, always prioritize safety over curiosity. The Dark Web is a vast, uncharted domain—stay safe as you explore its depths. Final Words I'll leave you with this: the Dark Web is not a playground. It's a place that demands respect, caution, and an understanding of the potential risks involved. It's a lot like the deep ocean. There's a lot to discover, but you must always be aware of the potential dangers that lurk beneath. Keep your digital lifejacket on at all times (in the form of a VPN and other security measures), and never forget the rules of safe navigation. Frequently Asked Questions Is it illegal to access the Dark Web? Simply accessing the Dark Web is not illegal. However, many illegal activities take place on the Dark Web, such as the buying and selling of drugs, weapons, and stolen data. Engaging in these activities is illegal, even if they are conducted on the Dark Web. How can I stay safe while browsing the Dark Web?

The world as we know it is changing. In fact, the internet – the very innovation that has changed the world so much – is itself evolving. Over the past year or two, we’ve seen a lot of talk about and why it’s a new frontier of the internet that has everyone excited. The new evolution of the information superhighway is expected to change the way we relate with data and each other on a fundamental level. Listening to the chatter from excited fans, there’s definitely a lot of love for it. Web3 Web3 is expected to change the way the entire internet works. Instead of having to deal with big corporations that take our data and use it for their profit, people will now be able to control their data and who sees it. There is expected to be a greater focus on privacy and user control, as opposed to people having to trust big corporations that have shown time and again that they aren’t the right people for the job. If you’re a player in the digital space, however, you might be feeling confused. How will Web3 change your work and the way you live? Is there a way for you to leverage this technology for your benefit? One of the best ways for creators to get ahead of the curve in Web3 is to find their communities. Just as digital communities have thrived in the current iteration of the internet, they are also expected to dominate when the Web3 revolution comes. We spoke to the creators of WiFi Map, a global connectivity platform that is helping likeminded people to connect and share. 1. What was the vision for WiFi Map? As of our launch on the TrustSwap Launchpad on March 30, WiFi Map is the largest connectivity platform in the Web3 space, and well on the way to becoming one of the biggest apps in the world. We’re very thankful to be in the position we’re in, and we’re incredibly excited for what’s next, but to understand how we got here you have to go back a few years. We're old enough to remember a time when the internet was a place you visited for a short period of time. Maybe you wanted to read the news or check your emails. This might seem hard for younger people to imagine, given that we're now connected to the internet all the time. Traveling was also very different in those days and, while there were some great things about those times, I’m not sure I’d go back now! WiFi Map came into being at a time when smartphones were still a relatively new phenomenon and the app stores were buzzing with new possibilities. We saw that people were sharing information about free public WiFi hotspots with their fellow travelers online and decided to create a global map where we could crowdsource that energy. We created a global, shared map where anybody could add a WiFi hotspot, and millions of people did. Let’s face it – you need the internet to function in today’s world, whether that means showing a boarding pass on your phone to get on a flight, paying your bills and taxes, or communicating with your loved ones. We believe that this makes the internet a fundamental human right. As founders and developers, we think WiFi Map has the potential to help connect the whole world and reach the third of humanity that still doesn’t have a reliable and secure internet connection. 2. What are the media through which communities will be developed with Web3? We’ve been working hard on the community front since we announced the Web3 drive last summer, and we think we’ve done a pretty amazing job since then. We have 15,000 members in our Telegram community and 58,000 on Discord, not to mention our 100,000 Twitter followers. We’re looking forward to seeing how these platforms adapt to Web3, and we’re also on the lookout for exciting new Web3-native social platforms. Community has to be at the heart of any crowdsourced project and we’ve been working with some of our most loyal contributors for years. Our community advisory board is an informal group of top WiFi Map users who we’ve been able to consult with on new ideas and receive all kinds of feedback as the project has grown. This has put us in a great position to ensure that the Web3 shift is as community-powered as possible. Web3 is still a relatively small world, and our own little niche of DeWi, or wireless, is just one part of it. We believe that the network effects from launching $WIFI will help us to put our name out there even more and allow our community to continue to grow organically. We’ll be adding more opportunities for community members to interact inside the app very soon. decentralized 3. With Web3 posing a threat to the fundamental powers that be, how do you view its current integration by Big Tech? There was a really interesting survey last year – I think it was done by Rapid Innovation – which found that almost all Fortune 500 executives think that Web3 will define the next century of business. Some of the world’s biggest companies are embracing Web3 in really interesting ways, whether that’s via collabs, NFT collections, or new payment systems. This being said, I think there are some cases where companies view Web3 as merely a trend and don’t expect that they’ll be engaging with it in the long term. In our case, this couldn’t be further from the truth. We are committed to Web3 as a framework for delivering horizontal, decentralized and democratic ecosystems, and it’s going to allow us to make huge improvements to our core product. There have been lots of amazing new projects in the space, and I think you’ll see more cases like ours in the next few years, where established startups and companies harness the benefits of decentralization at a deeper level. Web 2.0 So I think having a massive existing community and a solidly Web3 approach puts us in a strong position, and I’m really excited to see how we can make the most of the first-mover advantage. 4. How does WiFi Map hope to give its communities benefits and what can it expect in return? The entire philosophy of moving into Web3 and launching $WIFI is baked on the idea of giving back to the community. Our 150 million users and 13 million contributors have helped to build the most successful WiFi finder and one of the biggest travel apps in the world. This represents a significant amount of value, and $WIFI is going to unlock that. Millions of people were already happy to build the app without expecting anything in return, and we’re delighted that we can now thank them with $WIFI rewards, which they can use to access services within our ecosystem like eSIM mobile data. Our iOS and Android development teams did an incredible job of building the $WIFI in-app wallet in such a short space of time and making it fully secure. eSIM is actually one of the most popular features in the WiFi Map app, and a core element of our medium-term plans. By combining millions of WiFi hotspots all over the world with international mobile data coverage, we’re aiming to be people’s primary source of connectivity. There’s a term for this – mobile virtual network operator, or MVNO – and we’re the first one in the Web3 space. With the introduction of lifestyle services like those we announced last year in partnership with power bank sharing companies Chargefon and Fast Energy, we’re on the way to becoming a superapp. In the future, WiFi Map is going to do the job of an entire stack of your favorite apps in one place. Ultimately, we need to show people that our belief in the internet as a fundamental human right means something tangible. As well as broadening opportunities for our existing users, entering the Web3 space means we’ll be able to bring free WiFi to everybody. We’re very excited for the weeks and months to come.

How Digital Communities Can Get First-Mover Advantage with Web3

With over 5 years of experience in chatbot development, I’ve been building on top of GPT models since the early days of GPT2, when it was once considered too dangerous. The introduction of ChatGPT piqued my interest, and I was curious to learn how people perceive this technology and how they plan to use it. In order to gain this knowledge, I offered free development assistance to members of the OpenAI community in exchange for their project insights. In this article, I’ll share what I’ve learned and the tools I’ve created to help others achieve their goals. You can find the OpenAI thread here: . https://community.openai.com/t/let-me-help-you-build-your-project-no-fees/27085 Although ChatGPT is an amazing tool, most users expressed dissatisfaction with two key aspects. Firstly, ChatGPT only includes training data up to 2021, which implies that the model’s responses may be outdated. However, since Microsoft is integrating GPT into Bing, this concern may not be significant for too long. Secondly, users face the challenge of being unable to use ChatGPT with their own data source. Although ChatGPT has been trained on a large amount of data and has a general understanding of our world, it is difficult to train ChatGPT to prioritize its responses to custom data. What is the significance of this? Assume you are a marketer who wants ChatGPT to write blog posts promoting your brand’s products and services. Teaching ChatGPT unique aspects of your brand and including product details that may not be in their training data is not currently possible using OpenAI’s standard API. Similarly, for chatbots to assist with answering customer questions, they must be knowledgeable about the company they represent, or else they will not be effective. After speaking with various users across different industries and use cases, it became clear to me that all their issues could be resolved if they had their own version of ChatGPT. To assist these users, I divided the challenge into two parts. Firstly, generating content on a large scale from their own knowledge base. Secondly, answering questions for themselves or the people they serve using their own knowledge base. Content Generation from Custom Data Source To simplify content generation at scale, I created a Google spreadsheet where users can input their custom data, and the spreadsheet will automatically call OpenAI’s API to generate content in multiple rows. You can download this sheet at . https://community.openai.com/t/google-spreadsheet-gpt3/25460 I chose Google spreadsheets because they’re user-friendly, and you can easily create workflows by chaining together multiple cells. Here’s an example of how you can generate a lot of content using a GPT custom function in Google spreadsheets. In one column, you can input the context, and in the next column, you can ask GPT a question based on that information.
