The best way to deal with tariffs and taxes 👇 https://x.com/bunkerjunge/status/2000510643770888446: "If these criminals really introduce a sugar tax, I'll buy sweets abroad and sell them on xmrbazaar cheaper than you can buy them in the store. So please do that and best at 50% or so @bundeskanzler 🙏🏼"

Most victimless "crimes" are punished more severely because they target the state, not people: unlicensed services or tax evasion often draw harsher penalties than rape or murder. The state isn't just a social structure to care for society: it's a monster that always prioritizes its own interests over genuine human suffering. #freesamourai #freeianfreeman

6 years ago today, #RandomX went live on #Monero mainnet. Still no ASICs in sight... Anyone with a modern laptop can still mine real private money. Hashrate followed CPU evolution and remained decentralized. Quietly one of the most successful experiments in cryptocurrency history.

One friend just called the Bob Dylan's painting from my last letter (https://aillia.substack.com/p/roads-less-traveled) "awful AI slop, not even a good one." Another said the whole piece "feels AI-generated". People’s attitudes are messed up in an interesting way: they can’t differentiate anymore: everything is suspect as AI slop. Thanks to this, we’ve entered Hesse’s Age of the Feuilleton from The Glass Bead Game: "The most important consequence of this new attitude… was that men largely ceased to produce works of art. Moreover, intellectuals gradually withdrew from the bustle of the world." I can’t prove I’m not a bot to X or anyone anymore. The only "proof" left seems to be historical records, ID, or biometrics... and that’s not happening in my case. I’m exhausted from proving my humanness, not just to Twitter, but to friends too. Taking a break from being online. At least Bob Dylan never had to prove he isn’t a bot to anyone. View quoted note →

The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists. - Ernest Hemingway, “Notes on the Next War”, Esquire, 1935

LMAO, I think I'm in trouble on X again(!) (Why TF is a cybersecurity meme getting auto-labeled as sensitive content there?! ...disclaimer: the author never labelled it herself!)
