WHY #AGI IS ON SCHEDULE 🧵

The AI enthusiast community has recently been panicking that #AI may have reached a plateau.

But this is a psychological misperception.

In this thread, I explain why.

Let's start with a graph showing the gaps between GPT releases: Image As you can see, there's no recent slowdown.

Even if we use the postponed GPT-5 release date (late 2025 - early 2026) that @miramurati appeared to imply in her latest interview,

the graph still shows the same rate of progress as in the past 4 years.

The time from GPT-4 to GPT-5 would be almost identical to that from GPT-3 to GPT-4.

Investing clichés can be cheesy...

...but also very true!

These are my favorite TRUE clichés about investing in #crypto/#NFTs

👇🧵

1/25 RINSE AND REPEAT

We obsess with getting that huge sale

Real sales = ...

No, #squatters are not bad for #ENS.

They are inevitable.

In a free market, you can't simply wish squatters away.

In any free-market namespace, every single name with perceived value will be registered by the market participants as soon as there are enough participants.

1/3 Image 2/3 So since valuable names will always be squatted in any sizable free market, then, the more professional those squatters are the better for the ecosystem.

We don't need fewer squatters (impossible) we actually need more, professional ones.

#NFTcommunity #NFTcollector Pepe The Frog with the text 'How to Buy Pepes' 2/ WHY PEPES MATTER?

#RarePepes are the first Art project in the history of NFTs.

They were also very popular—in that sense, they were to Bitcoin what #CryptoPunks are to Ethereum.

This makes their rediscovery one of the greatest opportunities in #NFTs at the moment.

The oldest popular NFT project in history

It's older than the 2nd oldest popular project (CryptoPunks) but much cheaper.

Eg:
most expensive CryptoPunk ever sold >> $ 11.7 Million
most expensive rare pepe (a 1/1 piece) >> $300k.

That's 40x room to grow!
