Put on your helmets, this could be wild ride. «Some at OpenAI believe Q* (pronounced Q-Star) could be a breakthrough in the startup's search for what's known as artificial general intelligence (AGI), one of the people told Reuters.

A note to longterm Ledger and Trezor users. Today, I made a concerning discovery with my Ledger Wallet – a popular choice (but one worth considering*) for storing Bitcoin. It seems that the display of my Ledger, which I purchased about six years ago, is becoming dimmer, suggesting that it might be on its last legs. This issue appears to be more prevalent in hardware wallets that have been used for a considerable length of time. The same happened to a Trezor of mine after several more years of usage. The display went completely dark on that one, leaving me only with my backup seed. It’s a reminder to stay vigilant about both the physical integrity, digital security and thorough backups of our keychain storage solutions. tl;dr: Check your backups. See if your Ledger or Trezor still works. *

In spaces ever-expanding, our voices echo. The clubs we dance are getting larger. Steel yourself, for this is Bitcoin: Mightier than ever, radiant with unprecedented hope. The future beckons, and it shimmers in the pulse of our shared digital heartbeat. #BTCPrague

Standing amidst a sea of pioneers at #BTCPrague, I'm deeply moved. This thriving Bitcoin community, blossoming from a mere seed of an idea, is a testament to human innovation. Unbelievable journey it's been, yet it feels we're just at the dawn.

With AI we might have finally achieved our goal of immortality - just not ours.

Recharged my minimal Python skills and did a thing: It connects to my Bitcoin node to track the fee situation, turns it into a human-range pulse and generates a pseudo sinus heart-rhythm for a Hue lamp. Now, I can witness the mesmerizing pulse of #Bitcoin in my living room! 🧡🧡

Sitting in the train I can see a random sample of two open laptop screens from my position. Both have GPT open. Things are going to change a lot.

Happy Easter everyone.

High-waisted jeans, mustaches, and a rapidly evolving AI - we're quickly approaching 'her' state.
