Ai is becoming the most invasive surveillance tool ever, it’s explicitly bypassing all encrypted communications, sandboxing, and privacy implementations so that it has “the right context.” It is literally reading passwords off your screen. For a little bit of convenience, we are losing literally every major barrier we have built for privacy and security in one swing.

"hate speech" and "misinformation" is EXACTLY what free speech was enshrined to protect, because every single person in power believes that speech that threatens them is necessarily incorrect and "dangerous." If you cant think hard enough to realize the label of what is "truth" is the very principle in question, then you are destined to live in a cage built of your own ignorance.

I’m gonna stop referring to the “fed’s decisions” and start exclusively calling it “our central banks new price controls.” It’s foolish that we go by their fake names instead of calling a spade a spade.

So #Monero is being persistently 51% attacked right now by paying miners who merge mine a shitcoin token and reorging all of the blocks produced by the rest of the network. And miners are staying because they are making like 300% what the other miners are making do to the shitcoin. Looks like they’ve had a few 6 block reorgs and it’s still just rolling like this. 🤯😬 Experiments in malicious crypto economics in real time.

GUY SWANN SHARES A PHOTO OF HIS TRAVEL SAFE! 🔥 BEST OF ALL, HE’S NOT STUPID ENOUGH KEEP MONEY IN A CREDIT TOKEN THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WILL PRINT 3 TRILLION MORE OF THIS YEAR. (did you know twitter throttles your post if you use the word "stupid"? 🤦‍♂️ )

Why do new appliances all sound like old annoying 8 bit video games? I set the temperature on the oven and it does a little jingle like I just got a mushroom in Super Mario Brothers. This is such a dumb and pointlessly bothersome “tech” trend.

If everyone builds a project they want to see in the world, 90% of the won’t work right, or will make poor decisions, or have bad timing, but 10% of them will move us forward in a major way. And 1% of them will change the entire question of what to build and where things are going next. Just keep building, whatever you can. It’s like proof of work. Not all hashes produce blocks, but your hashes are worth the same as everyone else’s. Let’s brute force our way to the world we want to live in.

You don't shut down the internet and communications of a population unless you don't want the world knowing what you are doing there.

By an order of magnitude, the most valuable use case of LLMs has been coding. It’s another shift in our history similar to the leap from painting to photography.
