Fully stand by this - AGI isnt happening. A single anecdote reinforced it for me: I’ve been using Claude a lot, it’s useful to bulk search things or find stuff in #Vietnam that I would struggle with. Translation is a real usecase. Recently I wanted to buy a digital picture frame which could be hacked to serve images off a home NAS. Worked out I needed something pre Android 11 - 11+ has an issue with data partitions. Claude found me suitable products but none of them listed the Android version of the frame, but they all listed the CPU though. Claude basically gave up trying to work out which frame would work because it doesn’t know “HOW” to think. I prompted it to search the CPUs listed and their Android compatibility and voila, I got my shortlist. Pattern matching is useful, but it’s not intelligence, nor is it a path to intelligence. Without knowing HOW to think, these things are only going to replace the lowest levels of work - it will be hugely disruptive no doubt, but we’re not going to see Digital Intelligence any time soon. nostr:note1wat3fjsq64t5sn4y0wx2766sfdv4hx8u46cj4psz3j24l744ydzq05le5w

Eurohags have no clue what time it is, sitting atop a tinderbox womansplaining to the masses. A GFC type event in the coming years won’t result in an Occupy Wall Street type protest in NYC, it’s going to be lynchings in Brussels, Paris and London. nostr:note1h4krwppc432r26xryjvnx2wwfrlhfa63xdv6hw9s09k60l4cw6nqntgjg6

Life before scissors were invented must have really sucked.

One of my better #memes, worth resharing with Franklin nostr:note15p9n4dmhylcxwps8g548z67ydwp379au70m9zz8h98lcqlrm5qnqxfatgf

You guys know how I feel about koalas. The balls to ask me to give these chlamydia-ridden rapists a whole fucking #Bitcoin!! nostr:note1s7zts9hyz6lxzvxuhvh4dmpxfum5r8mhfuejunz5652ml8t64duq8nwyp3

Every successful revolution has 2 things in common: A) An organised minority B) A loss of will by existing elites A) could be #Bitcoiners. It’s not today, but it could be. B) can occur when enough of the *actual* working class - not the sit-on-their-arse-class who live off government redistribution and espouse postmodern wokeist bullshit online to keep the gibs going - the people who actually produce things society needs (food, energy, water, logistics) realise how undervalued they are in fiat terms, and opt out into #Bitcoin We don’t need the whole working class - we need the workers without whom life goes to shit. Don’t worry about trying to orangepill your barista or hairdresser - we can do without the vast majority of the working class. Orangepill your plumber, your electrician, that neighbour who works at the water treatment plant or in a coal mine - people who produce the stability needed to make modern society work. #Bitcoin will fulfill its promise only through the people who make society work.

Governments genuinely think you are their property. Even when you’re outside their jurisdiction, doing something completely legal in another place, they do not care - just because you temporarily got off the reservation, they’ll be there to whip you when you return to ensure you know who’s boss.

This would be illegal in 18 countries, in #Vietnam it’s a Sunday stroll on the beach

The final sentence is the kicker - Boomers never understood wealth, at all. They were in the right place, at the right time to take advantage of fiat money printing, and that’s it. They didn’t earn shit - they were gifted a culture and society which they destroyed so their house could be a savings vehicle and they could be rich on paper. Only #Bitcoin can break this cycle. Wholecoiners have an opportunity to create dynastic wealth not just by HODLing, but by teaching the next generation about money, about the system, and ensuring their kids aren’t left swimming uphill in a sea of shit like the Boomers have done. nostr:note14aff47qq2pn72pdsgqhv6fz0k6tnnyfgykz7gw5r9anu5sh0tjqshgv0y6

In case anyone was wondering how the Zionist narrative machine is going.. Not well I think. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/nov/25/founding-fathers-promised-land/

Another review for #bookstr , this time 1931: Debt, Crisis, and the Rise of Hitler by Tobias Straumann. If you’ve read about this period such as the reparations problems, the constraints on the Reichsbank, German domestic politics during the rise of Hitler etc. then you’ll find the broad strokes familiar. Straumann adds granular detail: specific meetings between central figures, the timing of particular credit freezes and political maneuvering around the Hoover Moratorium. It is very well researched I have to say, and the narrative is clear enough. But in being meticulous, it’s just a book of details which pads out the timeline rather than illuminate it. For monetary history of the era, Adam Fergusson’s When Money Dies remains far more visceral and revealing about what hyperinflation actually does to a society. And for Hitler and the Nazis, there are far better books to understand the context 1931 imparts (a 2-year window from 1929-31 is the focus here). Not a bad book but I added it to my list after a Luke Gromen recommendation so expected more, but perhaps he’s just less of a history nerd than I.

Everyone seems bored at $91k. The Zcash shills don’t even argue with Bitcoiners because there’s literally zero conviction - pure bag pumping. The mETHeads have realised it’s over and don’t engage Maxis any more. A few still follow Creg to torment him by forcing him to argue with Grok. Macro people have NFI what’s going on and just keep talking about how nothing stops this train. All news about my country makes me want to guillotine fuckers, can’t stand it. Meanwhile, #Bitcoin Xitter is retard maxing.

The enshittification of Melbourne continues with 7/11 opening it’s first staffless vending-machine-only outlet in the CBD due to rising crime. I remember seeing a Walgreens with half the stuff locked behind plexiglass in San Fran 8 years ago and thinking “wow, this is bad”, but walking the streets you understood why. Melbourne already has injecting rooms and has banned machetes - just needs some homeless encampments and a poop map now to catch-up https://v.nostr.build/Ntj6zech9V3NMlsP.mp4
