We are deeply unconscious of ourselves. When humans get super intelligence, will we have the courage to look at ourselves in the mirror? Will we be ashamed of who we once were?

Books are long not because the key points can’t be summarised in single paragraph. They are long because humans need time and a memorable narrative to integrate the knowledge contained in them.

@zerohedge True. That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

Crypto tokens are the new commodities. Gold, iron, copper, and oil were consumed to build the physical world; BTC, ETH, SOL, and LINK etc. will be consumed to build the digital one.

X algorithm is so bad right now, feels like it’s amplifying the very worst human behaviour.

Something is clearly broken. It’s time those of us who were able to live this out, figure out what to do to help the millions who aren’t anymore.

This graph says it all. Something is fundementally broken, I don't care what interest rates were in 1981.

@elonmusk @IBM Based on 2025 assessments from NIST, IBM, and expert surveys, the probability of quantum computing cracking SHA-256 (via Grover's algorithm, reducing preimage search to ~2^128 operations) is near 0% in the next 5 years and <10% by 2035. It requires millions of error-corrected

Still amazed that LLMs take up only about 1TB of space. The internet is >100 zettabytes. That means most of machine learning is just about culling slop.

Take My Ape is out! Try it at https://t.co/lzVTi2tHc2. Own a Bored Ape for 15 minutes with one Ethereum transaction. Ownership ≠ rental. It means copyright license, access to BAYC spaces, and your address on chain as owner. TMA's goal? To demo the power of Liquefaction.
