kid, you just invested more than you should have.
1- Rule: don't invest money that you need.
the same could have happened to you with nvidia 10 years ago
> be Yann LeCun
> spend years building JEPA at Meta
> company focuses on LLaMA instead
> his idea stays complicated and unused
> robotics plans get dropped
> decides to leave and start AMI Labs
> builds a much simpler version from scratch
> trains it on normal hardware in just a few hours
> removes all the complicated tricks and keeps it simple
Results:
-uses 200x less data than similar systems
-makes decisions 50x faster
-runs on a single GPU instead of massive clusters
-simple to train
-understands movement, objects, and space
-can tell when something is physically impossible
-learns how the real world works without being explicitly taught.
dont trust the benchmarks, use the tools yourself.
that's is the first lesson @jeremyphoward taught you as fast ai, choosing the right metrics to optimize for, you can always overfit :)
absolutely insane to watch everyone who was on the "vibe coding is the future", "AI will replace software engineers", "you can vibe code anything you want", "you no longer need developers" - train for a year turn back and say vibe coding doesn't work
Andrej Karpathy calls AI Agents slop
"Overall, the models they are not there. And I feel like the industry [...] it's making too big of a jump and it's trying to pretend that this is amazing.
And it's not—it's slop!
And I think they are not coming to terms with it. And maybe they are trying to fundraise or something like that, I'm not sure what's going on."
September alone:
- PayPal's PYUSD pool: $80M TVL (days)
- New FXSwap tech crushing old pools
- Plasma live with Curve day one - $25M in a week
- Savings-crvUSD: 9%+ yields
I doubled down. I think is worth looking into it.
yesterday was really bad for me, i think this is the most insane price action in crypto i’ve ever lived through. more intense than covid or ftx.
Only a few winners: insiders always (as always), dex/cex, and stablecoins

Why? Because they're the BEST at stablecoin swaps.
When you're moving $75M USDC→USDT, Curve gives you 0.9995 exchange rate vs 0.99 on competitors.

Last time I saw @CurveFinance outcompeting @Uniswap in large non-stablecoin swaps was 2022 when tricrypto had a size of $1B. Now this comes with 10M-sized pools
