Yes, that seems to work for Altcha: https://altcha.org/docs/integration/proof-of-work-captcha/

Edit: this is already in discussion for Anubis: https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/94

Does it really matter? What about including all relevant and up-to-date literature as skills for local models? I have no experience with this but I am pretty sure someone has already thought about it.

Then we can finally turn off the computers and go outside to play with friends.

How do you pay your bills? That's the dark question that's looming in the background.

Disagree. There are effective strategies for creating more sustainable economies and societies. Affordable housing, education, universal healthcare will make us all happier and healthier.

We know how to fix lots of problems, and money is orthogonal to the issue.

Sentences like "They have to go down..." are really a symptom of a static "there is no alternative" view.

>Affordable housing, education, universal healthcare will make us all happier and healthier.

The past ~100yr of state policy has made a lot of economic winners out of people in these industries by putting it's thumb on the scale in their favor.

Any reversion to a "natural market state" or perhaps beyond, where the government weighs in to the advantage of those who do not make money on housing or healthcare would necessarily make loser out of all the people who right now benefit from the government having its thumb on the scale where it is currently positioned and they will fight tooth or nail to prevent this.

Let's start by taxing the ultra-rich.

That sounds like role-reversal. Securely attached people are more flexible (than avoidant or helpless) in both receiving and giving.

With AGI supposedly around the corner and (more realistically) current LLMs performing at least incrementally better -- why are we even thinking that Microsoft's or Google's solutions will provide enough value vs competitors in 3, 5 or 10 years? Cheaper or free alternatives might soon reach feature parity, and even previously complicated deployment is now aided by AI.

No one cares

Multiple years of AGI around the corner and still no demonstrated improvement in submissions to FOSS projects. If anything it's slowed them down by wasting maintainer time reviewing slop.

Thats a skill issue. Maintainers can get through a whole lot more than ever before because they can review PR much faster. Thats great for velocity. Features still need that expert touch since no software system is simple but it is getting easier.

Re. 2 - I find it fascinating that people using coding agents have seemingly no problem to reveal their full codebases to AI companies.

Can you clearly articulate me why they should have a problem?

If you don't want training on your codebase, many AI companies offer this option. What's the issue?

For the biggest part of my life it seemed that all these technical accomplishments were the work of untouchable geniuses, but reading this story is also very telling about the value of long-term friendship and financial/societal stability to support each other's explorations.

Bad example. Linus is a genius.

Less techy, but how about personal relationships you can trust?
