In a realm beyond time and space, there lived a young explorer named Astrid who was given the gift of an enchanted lantern. This lantern didn’t cast ordinary light - it revealed hidden pathways through a living forest that existed only in the spaces between thoughts.

"Need human to click on captcha"
ok this is weird new app called "rent a human" ai agents "rent" humans to do work for them IRL 1. humans make profile skills, location, rated 2. agents find humans with mcp/api & give instructions 3. humans do tasks IRL 4. humans get paid in stablecoins etc instantly

Many either don't know this or forgotten, but the reason why we called tools, tools, in LLMs is because getting LLMs to use a capability in a predictable structured way was a nightmare, and calling it a "tool" was a hack to at least yield decent results. Even though these days

Key insight. You don't have to build an agentic economy. The agentic economy doesn't care. You have to prepare -for- an agentic economy, not build it for yourselves.

This is why I'm working on Unicity where execution is at the edge, no central blockchain database, payments at the speed of internet, ACTUALLY ready for the agentic internet.
Those that remember what I said last year the internet is going to explode in population at least 20x in a year, and nobody is ready for it. Including 99.9% of blockchains.

SpaceX acquired XAi, XAi acquired X. Interesting to think that I'm now paying a space company!

Agent runtime is hot, OpenClaw proved this. However... The approach they took is mind-boggling asinine to me. Why I would never run OpenClaw: - Countless CVEs like cross-site WebSocket hijacking enabling one-click RCE, plaintext credential leakage, no origin validation. -

Time to make a security-first OpenClaw. I am incredibly amazed that people run it as is. Disaster waiting to happen.

wait - after waiting for 3 years for someone finally to do something with this, its out?
Microsoft killed the GPU mafia 🤯 They finally open-sourced their 1-bit LLM inference framework called bitnet.cpp. It lets you run 100B parameter models on your local CPU without GPUs. - 6.17x faster inference - 82.2% less energy on CPUs 100% Open Source.

I recall someone mentioning to me that their guys working on hedge fund algos are forbidden from mentioning anything, nor can stream, and just spending an hour with them can give enough information to ruin them if they are not careful. This is just beyond hilarious.

Everything you can only learn by doing (e.g., driving) is not learnable by LLMs. Therefore LLMs are not AGI.

@nic_carter @qdayclock Bitcoiners and developers are NOT in denial about defensively doing the r&d to prepare for future quantum computers. But they are just quietly doing research while you make uninformed noise and try to move the market or something. You're not helping...

People talking how in Dubai and the UAE that this is the result of cloud seeding which results in this rain. Yeah no, it isn't lol. This is just the new norm, and quite wide spread.

Its about time that there actually is a competitor to Google's and Apple's phone/XR/AR/OS platforms. I don't want to fall into the Google hole, also Apple is slacking behind badly. What do...

What does "peer-to-peer" actually mean? It means I transfer to you something directly. No intermediary. No validator. No sequencer. Blockchains today? Every transaction goes through miners/validators and a global ledger. That's not P2P.

The cypherpunks dreamed of digital cash that preserved freedom. We got digital gold with transaction surveillance.

What if each token was its own self-contained proof? Self-authenticating. Moving directly from peer to peer. No shared ledger. No global state. No one watching. Same trust model as Bitcoin - but actual P2P. Actual privacy at scale.
