Not important.

Call me old-fashioned, but I believe in making up my own damn mind instead of letting former founders of a societal-cancer (centralized social media) influence my thinking in any way. 1 bitcoin will always be 100,000,000 sats.

AI, when overseeing pb&j construction, can redirect that extra bit of peanut butter scraped off of the sides of an otherwise empty jar onto a sandwich. This is incredibly powerful stuff. It’s redefining ‘waste’ peanut butter and making all peanut butter abundantly available. #aieverything View quoted note →

This should be the basis for a much larger investigation into how much evidence has been suppressed by the DOJ in prior cases in order to achieve precedent. It should. But it won’t. Not without someone to enrich by doing so. So how can we align incentives? View quoted note →

You: “Proof of Work is the way!” Also you: “Vibe coding is great!” One of these things is not like the other. A child could understand this.

Vibe coding. Day by day, I see more engineers submit to AI’s ability. It’s an average ability. It’s glorified copy pasta from Stack Overflow. Is it faster? Yes. But thats fiat thinking. If it needs to be done fast at the expense of quality, how much worth is it? Would you depend on an airplane? How about the firmware for robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery? The harvesting of your food? There is value in human time. I believe this to be more valuable than AI time. Thus, there is tremendous value in human-made goods. Vibe coding was supposed to be for a quick script, a throw-away proof-of-concept, or testing an idea. It wasn’t meant to replace the investment of heartbeats. Yet that’s the path we’re on. Ever sat in Amish furniture? Try it. Then go sit in a mass produced ikea chair. We’re bitcoiners. We’re nostriches. We’re supposed to recognize true value because we use better measuring sticks than the fiat zombies of the world. Yet we’re producing our tools like we’re trying to mine more fiat. You will not get 1 sat from me for anything vibe coded or thrown together. Our tools should be built the way the Amish work - with the utmost respect for time and human work. To love the little details. To take the time to discern a truly necessary feature or just noise to appease the squeaky wheel. THIS I will support and throw my heartbeats into.

This. Time is precious. I like to measure time/value in heartbeats. It grounds that impulse to buy something, to compromise on your wages, or to submit to false authority. Your life is being stolen from you. It’s vampiric. Demonic. Evil in every way. Escaping the system isn’t a cause - it’s a biological imperative. “Rules without rulers” isn’t an innovation. It’s evolution. View quoted note →
