Something I don't think we talk enough about in discussions surrounding AI is the loss of perseverance.

I have a friend who works in education and he told me about how he was working with a small group of HS students to develop a new school sports chant. This was a very daunting task for the group, in large part because many had learning disabilities related to reading and writing, so coming up with a catchy, hard-hitting, probably rhyming, poetry-esque piece of collaborative writing felt like something outside of their skill range. But it wasn't! I knew that, he knew that, and he worked damn hard to convince the kids of that too. Even if the end result was terrible (by someone else's standards), we knew they had it in them to complete the piece and feel super proud of their creation.

Fast-forward a few days and he reports back that yes they have a chant now... but it's 99% AI. It was made by Chat-GPT. Once the kids realized they could just ask the bot to do the hard thing for them - and do it "better" than they (supposedly) ever could - that's the only route they were willing to take. It was either use Chat-GPT or don't do it at all. And I was just so devastated to hear this because Jesus Christ, struggling is important. Of course most 14-18 year olds aren't going to see the merit of that, let alone understand why that process (attempting something new and challenging) is more valuable than the end result (a "good" chant), but as adults we all have a responsibility to coach them through that messy process. Except that's become damn near impossible with an Instantly Do The Thing app in everyone's pocket. Yes, AI is fucking awful because of plagiarism and misinformation and the environmental impact, but it's also keeping people - particularly young people - from developing perseverance. It's not just important that you learn to write your own stuff because of intellectual agency, but because writing is hard and it's crucial that you learn how to persevere through doing hard things.

Write a shitty poem. Write an essay where half the textual 'evidence' doesn't track. Write an awkward as fuck email with an equally embarrassing typo. Every time you do you're not just developing that particular skill, you're also learning that you did something badly and the world didn't end. You can get through things! You can get through challenging things! Not everything in life has to be perfect but you know what? You'll only improve at the challenging stuff if you do a whole lot of it badly first. The ability to say, "I didn't think I could do that but I did it anyway. It's not great, but I did it," is SO IMPORTANT for developing confidence across the board, not just in these specific tasks.

Idk I'm just really worried about kids having to grow up in a world where (for a variety of reasons beyond just AI) they're not given the chance to struggle through new and challenging things like we used to.

How Crypto Traders Gain Consistent Profit with Crypto Flash Loan Arbitrage Bots

The appeal of consistent profit in the explosive crypto market is a siren song for many traders. Amidst fluctuating prices and emerging DeFi protocols, flash loan arbitrage bots have emerged as a refined tool, promising to transform fleeting market inefficiencies into tangible gains. This article delves into the mechanics and strategies behind these bots, exploring how they enable traders to navigate the treacherous waters of crypto volatility and potentially achieve consistent profitability.  

The Genesis of Instantaneous Capital: Flash Loans and Their Power

At the heart of flash loan arbitrage lies the revolutionary concept of flash loans. Unlike traditional loans that require collateral and lengthy approval processes, flash loans allow users to borrow vast sums of cryptocurrency without upfront capital, provided the loan is repaid within the same transaction block. This seemingly paradoxical feat is made possible by the atomic nature of blockchain transactions, where all actions within a block are executed or reverted as a single unit.  

This instantaneous access to capital unlocks the potential for arbitrage, the practice of exploiting price discrepancies across different exchanges. In the crypto world, these discrepancies, though often minuscule, can be amplified by leveraging the immense borrowing power of flash loans.

The Algorithmic Maestro: Orchestrating Profitable Trades

Manual execution of flash loan arbitrage is a near-impossible feat due to the time-sensitive nature of the trades and the complexity of the underlying smart contracts. This is where the crypto flash loan arbitrage bot steps in, acting as an algorithmic maestro, orchestrating a symphony of trades within a single transaction block.  

These bots are programmed to:

Real-time Market Surveillance: Continuously monitor price feeds from multiple decentralized exchanges (DEXs), identifying potential arbitrage opportunities.  

Profitability Assessment: Calculate the potential profit from each opportunity, factoring in transaction fees, loan interest, and slippage.

Automated Trade Execution: Execute the entire arbitrage sequence, including borrowing the flash loan, swapping tokens on different DEXs, and repaying the loan.  

Risk Mitigation: Implement risk management parameters to minimize losses due to slippage or unexpected market fluctuations.  

The Anatomy of a Profit-Generating Machine

A typical flash loan arbitrage bot comprises several key components:

Smart Contracts: The core of the bot, defining the logic for borrowing, swapping, and repaying the flash loan.  

Web3 Libraries: Tools like Web3.js or Ethers.js, facilitating interaction with the blockchain and smart contracts.  

Data Aggregators: Real-time price feeds from multiple DEXs, providing the necessary market data.  

Arbitrage Algorithms: Algorithms that identify and calculate profitable arbitrage opportunities.  

Risk Management Modules: Modules that implement stop-loss orders and other risk mitigation strategies.  

Strategies for Consistent Profitability

Achieving consistent profitability with flash loan arbitrage bots requires a strategic approach:

DEX Selection: Choosing DEXs with sufficient liquidity and reliable price feeds is crucial.

Transaction Fee Optimization: Minimizing gas fees is essential for maximizing profits.  

Slippage Management: Implementing slippage tolerance parameters to mitigate losses due to price fluctuations.  

Backtesting and Optimization: Thoroughly backtesting the bot's performance on historical data to identify optimal parameters.  

Staying Updated: Keeping abreast of new DeFi protocols and market trends.  

Security Audits: Ensuring the security of the bot's smart contracts through rigorous audits.  

Navigating the Perils of Flash Loan Arbitrage

While flash loan arbitrage offers the potential for significant profits, it is not without its risks:  

Smart Contract Vulnerabilities: Bugs or exploits in smart contracts can lead to substantial losses.  

Market Volatility: Sudden price swings can invalidate arbitrage opportunities.  

Transaction Fee Spikes: High gas fees can erode profits.  

Front-Running: Malicious actors can exploit pending transactions to steal arbitrage profits.

Liquidity Constraints: Insufficient liquidity can lead to significant slippage.

Regulatory Delay: The growing regulatory landscape can create delay.

The Future of Algorithmic Arbitrage

As the DeFi ecosystem matures, flash loan arbitrage bots are poised to become increasingly sophisticated. Advancements in AI and machine learning will enable bots to adapt to changing market conditions and identify more complex arbitrage opportunities. Layer-2 scaling solutions will also play a role in reducing transaction costs and increasing efficiency.  

Conclusion

Crypto flash loan arbitrage bots offer a powerful tool for traders seeking to capitalize on market inefficiencies. However, success requires a deep understanding of the underlying principles, meticulous execution, and a prudent approach to risk management. By combining technical expertise with a strategic mindset, traders can potentially leverage these bots to navigate the volatile crypto market and achieve consistent profitability. It is however, imperative to remember that the crypto market is highly risky, and only capital one can afford to lose should be utilized.

Hi I'm Lauren I'm new to this app, I'm just trying to make some friends. Can i be your friend?

so as a semi-popular blog i tend to get a lot of scam asks, but this is actually a type of scam i've never encountered on tumblr before, so i'm going to make kind of an in-depth post/psa instead of just the usual short "this is a scam" response i usually give.

usually, tumblr scammers tend to follow a few easy signs:

blog less than a week old because they use them for like a week before discarding/being banned and then remaking

fundraiser post for cause that's meant to tug at the heartstrings (cute pet that needs medical treatment, single mother trying to provide for kids, queer teen who got kicked out, etc)

pictures are stolen off facebook or gofundme, oftentimes from an actual, legitimate fundraiser (this is so scummy)

paypal country code does not match with the country they state they're in

spams asks to random blogs telling their backstory and asking for donations or reblogs of their donation post, often with a request to answer privately (so the spamming doesn't show up if you search their url)

those are donation scams, and i get them in my inbox about once every week or two. they're the most common type of scam on tumblr.

THIS asker didn't mention any kind of money, or donations, or backstory. just "can i be your friend". they have no fundraiser post or in fact any original posts at all, and their blog is almost a year old with consistent activity. seems kind of normal at first glance, if a little awkward, but this is actually the beginning to what's referred to as a "pig butchering scam".

pig butchering scams can be either romance-based or friendship-based. they involve an innocuous-seeming interaction developing into a relationship, and once the scammer thinks they have your trust, they start asking for money, using that built trust as the basis. you would lend a friend some money in an emergency if they promise to pay it back quickly if you could, right?

pig butchers are definitely harder to spot than donation scammers, but there are some clear signs if you look closely enough.

the out-of-nowhere nature of the ask was what got me initially suspicious, so i searched her url. this is what that search looks like.

clearly not a user trying to actually make friends, and instead a spammer. a couple people there have already pointed out this is a pig butchering scam.

a few weeks ago, she was even bolder and doing a more donation-scam approach:

(hint: she is not going to give it back to you)

@kyra45 even posted about this as far back as september, and apparently the scammer was a blank blog back then:

if a tumblr search yields little results, you can also google someone's url. a google search led to this post with a user who got into the actual pig butchering part of the scam, developing a relationship before trying for money.

another, far less obvious tell is that she's following loads of bots, mixed in with normal users she's following. while i'm unsure if this user is a bot herself (i'm leaning toward a mixed use of a bot to send asks and personal replies once she gets a bite), normal users don't just... follow random bot/SEO accounts.

she also has a second, identical account at @pleasantdesttinykkryptonite, the same url with an extra k. possibly a backup in case she gets banned.

john oliver actually did a whole episode on pig butchering scams (already posted by someone in the url search) if you'd like to learn more.

Fact checking the discord ai training chain letter

it does not make sense to have "invisible magic discord bots which are hidden in your server" as a result of a supposed partnership between discord and some ai company, because if discord wanted to secretly give some ai company your messages or uploaded images, then

they don't need a fucking bot to do this, they already have the data

what makes you think you would able to counteract this by using discord's features

furthermore, "partnerships" are mutual: if a company claims that a partnership exists when no such partnership exists, discord can tell them to knock it off or announce that no such partnership exists, and guess what, the article does not mention any such partnership, it says "we launched an app", which is like, whatever, it's inside all the other shovelware hidden in the menus no one clicks.

the evidence for "invisible magic bots" is super flimsy and results in misunderstanding about how banning works (banning a user by id and then seeing the entry in audit logs). in reality, you can ban users that are not present in your server, which I've been doing as a preventive measure for years at this point when I see someone on another server doing stuff I would be banning for if they were present on my server.

you also can't add apps or bots to your server without having "manage server" permission.

furthermore, as a bot, you can't read messages on the server without opting in with enabling message content intent, and needing explicit approval from discord for this.

(this is what you see in discord developer portal in the bots settings. "Read more here" leads to this website)

in fact, "application commands" discord feature that the bot uses was introduced specifically so bots don't have to read every message on the server to see if it starts with an exclamation mark or whatever in order to know if to react to it, and how.

there are also "external apps" which are per-user, rather than per-app, but these are basically equivalent of a user DMing a bot, and they don't have access to anything aside from whatever user sends them, and, if the role has has "use external apps" permission enabled in the channel, they can send a message as a result of a user action.

and yes, potentially a member of your server could send some image in it to an AI company by using the application command, but then again they can also right click -> save and upload it to chatgpt. your threat model is fucking bonkers.

conclusion: the original message is fearmongering based on misunderstanding on how discord, or computers in general, work.
