Hello to everyone who i recently unmuted!
So some biohacking updates on my ADD.
I did the morning nude sunlight for about a month. One to two hours first thing in the morning. Skin in the dirt. Reading or meditation.
This was even better than the carnivore diet combined with 15 to 30 minutes of sunlight and grounding. Exceptionally calm and stable energy and mood.
So now I'm thinking I could hack this further. Perhaps do one week carnivore, 3 weeks off. Or I could do carnivore when I notice that I am not strong. And for the other three weeks, do the spleen supporting traditional Chinese medicine diet which continues to detox my gut (congee for breakfast, no wheat or corn or soy, no seed oils, no pork, no seeds, some nuts but only roasted, all water and food heated, nothing cold, all meats sliced in 1 inch cubes with the fat drained).
Thoughts?

I have two aunts that are mentally handicapped. And yet even they have long flowing feminine hair.
What's your excuse Karen? 2011 wants it's forever ugly hair back.
Cute but I'm waiting for the paradise to have children

From the 2600 Australian mailing list.
Google AI Spying on users private data in google drive and banning accounts.
So a few US states ban or restrict manga, even Australia is
restricting creative writing.
It seems google implemented an AI to enforce this, which
seems to have.. broken.. applying several different nations
standards all at once, resulting in entirely perplexing
google account bans.
Anyway, it seems Japanese Manga artists have been getting
their entire google accounts terminated for private art and
self drawn manga art they have uploaded to their private
google cloud storage. On top of this despite the
presidential edict punishing this in the USA paypal too has
been terminating services to legitimate services and that
sell or offer subscriptions to manga or art in Japan

We need a distributed, cryptographically verifiable internet archive. Would this even be possible? I don't know.

The truth about AI
a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.
a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.
the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.
he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.
Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.
GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.
Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.
Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.
then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."
GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.
then he splits the users by income.
Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.
18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.
so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.
it isn't recommending the best option for you.
it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

Saylor is promoting Ethereum.
Saylor is promoting the Runes protocol on the Bitcoin network.
Saylor is promoting issuance of stablecoins on the Bitcoin network.
Saylor is promoting issuance of staking tokens on the Bitcoin network.
Saylor is promoting the use of the Bitcoin network to support tokenized synthetic bitcoin tokens on L2s.
Saylor is telling folks to exchange their BTC for stablecoins, in part so they can earn yield on those stablecoins. That yield is provided by STRC, which is purchased by entities within the stablecoin ecosystem described above.
Saylor/Strategy then takes the proceeds from those entities buying STRC and buys a boatload of BTC themselves.
Saylor use to tell folks to buy and hold BTC, there is no second best.
Saylor now tells folks to buy a security or a stablecoin instead.
Here's what's involved in the stablecoin money flow. Two different stablecoins, one riding on Ethereum, one riding on Bitcoin. Two different staking tokens, one on Ethereum, one on Bitcoin. One synthetic bitcoin token riding on an L2, which uses the Bitcoin network. One security, and last, but not least, some actual bitcoin. What could possibly go wrong?
Here's the kicker, in that whole process, the only entity not buying and holding BTC is the individual customer.
It's an unbelievably complex thing. I'm almost hesitant to even post this out of fear I'm going to look like an ass because there's no way this monstrosity could exist, and I'm just making shit up. Who knows maybe I've misunderstood it all, but I don't think so.
Taproot and OP_RETURN are the two key aspects of the Bitcoin protocol enabling the Bitcoin network to be used for all this non-bitcoin stuff.
All except Strategy are VC-backed.
Here are all the entities, protocols, outputs and tokens involved for the privilege of exchanging your BTC for a yield bearing stablecoin:
Hermetica (USDh, sUSDh) enabled by Runes/OP_RETURN on Bitcoin. Saturn (USDat, sUSDat) on Ethereum. Stacks (sBTC) on bitcoin L2, enabled by Taproot on Bitcoin. Strategy (STRC, MSTR) - securities.. Oh and some BTC, mostly flowing away from the individual into STRC.
Unbelievable. No way this will turn into another FTX, BlockFi, Celsius, Voyager, Three Arrows Capital, etc.. No way. This time is different.
How do you sleep at night Saylor?
