Starlink IPO expectation ~= Risk mitigation of Tesla ~= A light buy rally...?

How Elon Musk Could Solve His Tesla-Twitter Puzzle SpaceX may offer a solution to Elon's dilemma of selling Tesla shares to fund his other ventures. As most of Musk's investments are privately held and illiquid, his main source of income is selling Tesla shares, and it caused the stock to tumble when Musk had to sell $23B worth to keep Twitter afloat. - However, SpaceX's increasing profitability hint at the potential for an IPO. Starlink appears ready with its service expected to generate ~$1.8B revenue in 2023. It presents an opportunity for Musk to raise capital for further expansion without stressing Tesla.

Yay Web browsing and Plugins are now rolling out in beta (May 12) If you are a ChatGPT Plus user, enjoy early access to experimental new features, which may change during development. We’ll be making these features accessible via a new beta panel in your settings, which is rolling out to all Plus users over the course of the next week. Once the beta panel rolls out to you, you’ll be able to try two new features: Web browsing: Try a new version of ChatGPT that knows when and how to browse the internet to answer questions about recent topics and events. Plugins: Try a new version of ChatGPT that knows when and how to use third-party plugins that you enable. — from ChatGPT — Release Notes

Robotics would be one of the biggest area that is impacted by Generative AI... And this gives the clue that the next gen dogs are not gonna bark, but speak 😉 — from Santiago's tweet

AI needs ZKPs to enhance privacy and trustworthiness in ML. Key ZK-ML use cases include privacy-preserving ML, verifiable ML, and secure ML. Projects like ZKonduit explore ZK-ML applications in areas like ZK KYC, fraud checks, and autonomous DAOs. — Why AI Needs Zero-Knowledge Proofs

By combining ML with zkSNARKs, we can create a system that keeps both the input data and model details private while still proving that the ML model processed the data correctly. This way, we can have privacy and trust in the system without revealing sensitive info. — ZK Machine Learning

Indeed, metaverse is coming - yet not in a name of “metaverse.” Meta was once ridiculed that its name should be changed into smth else than “Meta”, but they did not leave the space at all. Buzzword has been removed and the real innovation is now here. — Imagebind

Article on accelerating MSM in HW & SW from Jump Crypto — Accelerating Multi-Scalar Multiplication in Hardware… and Software

Accelerating Zero-Knowledge Proofs Same statement from Trace. In the long-term, the outlook for ZK proof hardware acceleration is likely to involve a combination of FPGA and ASIC. Both AI and ZK expected to move towards FPGA and then ASIC in the logic chip space. - FPGA comps (AMD Xilinx, Intel Altera) may create chips with hardened components specifically designed for common operations in ZK proving as the market grows, providing higher performance while maintaining programmability. - Meanwhile, ASICs with some flexibility will eventually provide the strongest ZKP acceleration when ZK becomes more stable, and the market size justifies the investment. - Btw this article is a good wrap-up for the major bottlenecks of ZK (up to 90% of whole computation): Multi-scalar Multiplications (MSMs) and Number Theoretic Transforms (NTTs). Highly recommended if you're interested in this space.

Agree that we need some type of regulatory framework, but the more important thing would be letting small players & individuals to challenge big ones. And regulating AI would be complicated as crypto... - And personally think the big models and the ownership of the data should be somehow decentralized in particular layer to avoid the situation where big ones take over the uncontrollable amount of power. — The Case for Big Action to Regulate Artificial Intelligence

Royal Kingdom: Will it Usurp the Throne or Just be a Royal Relative? Signiture brand + mid-core elements. Dream is exploring new directions with their latest game, Royal Kingdom, while maintaining similarities with Royal Match. Both games have similar level designs, obstacles, and aesthetics, creating a consistent brand with the "Royal" signature. - The main difference is the introduction of a casual PvP attack mechanic, inspired by midcore games like Empires & Puzzles, Clash Quest, and Clash Royale.
