Perpetual soldier of fortune, occasional internet slacker. Cooking @happychaindevs, I mostly talk about blockchain tech.
Impact & Intelligence of GPT (What is it missing?)
1/68 🧵 AI thread part 3!
This time we look at the impact & future of AI:
- What are AGI (general AI) & superintelligence
- What is GPT missing to achieve AGI?
- Real-world impact of LLMs (does it change everything? will it steal your job?)
2/ And I still didn't get to AI existential risks (the risk AI cause the extinction of humanity). That will have to be for part 4!

ChatGPT and Its Limitations (AI Part 2)
1/63 🧵 Thread on AI — PART 2
This time we'll cover:
- How ChatGPT works (+ many good links)
- Its fundamental limitations: what can't it do?
Unrolled: typefully.com/norswap/gPRkWlT
2/ I ran out of space again 😅 So there will be a part 3 (and maybe a part 4) about:
- What are AGI (general AI) & superintelligence
- What is GPT missing to achieve AGI?
- How dangerous is superintelligence?
An Overview of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
1/57 🧵 Long overdue thread on AI — PART 1
We'll cover:
- What is artificial intelligence?
- What is machine learning? (+ example: spam filtering)
- The basics of neural networks
- How StableDiffusion & DALL-E work (high-level)
Unrolled: typefully.com/norswap/SUF6F2F
2/ I had to split this thread because it became too big :')
Next time I want to cover:
- How ChatGPT works (+ many good links)
- The fundamental limitations of neural networks
- AGI (general AI) & super AI: how close are we / what is missing
- How dangerous is super AI?
Thread on Velodrome Finance
1/54🧵 Thread on @VelodromeFi and why it's a superior system for incentivizing liquidity.
2/ Liquidity is super important for project tokens. A lack of liquidity makes the token price too volatile. It also prevents investors for exiting, which makes them wary to invest in the first place.
Thread on OP Airdrop #1
1/40/ Some technical notes on $OP airdrop #1 from yesterday. 🧵
2/ Obviously, it was a bumpy ride. We ran into a few different things that I think people will be interested to hear about though.
Natural gas prices - how does it work?
1/19/ Me and my girlfriend were wondering why energy prices went up.
The obvious answer is: it's because of the war. But that's a total curiosity stopper isn't it?
How does it work, mechanically?
2/ If Russia stopped exporting gas, the effects would be easy to understand (less supply). Similarly, if Russia decided to sell at a higher price, things are easy (less supply at previous price). But that's not what happened.
$DJED/$SHEN Mechanics
1/16/ Earlier this week, @liamihorne asked if anybody knew about the design of the $DJED "algorithmic" stablecoin from @COTInetwork
I was curious, so I gave it a look...
Unrolled: typefully.com/norswap/snO6FA6
2/ The stablecoin is not so much algorithmic as it is overcollateralized in a way that separates minting from collateralization.
OHM Valuation
An analyst reached out to discuss my OlympusDAO analysis, and in particular, my "sustainable value" model (twitter.com/norswap/status/1498358036733194243)
After clearing up a couple things, I felt like doing what I hadn't done last time and actually compute a few possible prices for OHM.
