North Star for Fractal Society. Verifiers + RL gyms turn small models into reliable specialists. That's a company. That's a research pipeline. No frontier model required.

@nikitabier Dennys is a BIG Deal! Kept me alive all those college nights!

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@ssi So is your model more sparse than even open AIs? Taking a guess.

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@sama Voice is the new operating system!

@paulg Be honest, if your wrong, pivot, life too short to not build everyday!

We are still going through heavy printing, btc will be higher by end of 2027! We wont be done til end of 2028!

We are still tracking along weimar republic's path towards hyperinflation. We should see a big jump in Gold in 6-15 months.

@Jason If your in AI use Fractal Society

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@ilyasut Congrats, so are entering the R&D phase again? or still in scaling for the AI industry?

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@naval @PareshSardaCA The founding fathers didnt have a federal tax amendment for a reason. To give people freedom from tyranny, if a state made bad policies, people can easily move!

Day 45 of building Fractal Society.

Today I'm launching the first beta and the first piece of Fractal Society (as soon as X approves 😅).
@BuildFractal
Fractal is an execution graph for AI agents designed to coordinate models, tools, and humans instead of relying on a single model.

Voice is the fastest way to build. Graphs are the best way to coordinate humans and AI agents.

Just tell Fractal what you want. It coordinates the rest.

Compatible with Cursor, Codex, Claude, and Hermes (for local models).

macOS first. Windows and Linux coming soon.

This is just the beginning.

Looking for builders who want to shape what's next. A lot more innovation is coming.

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@elder_plinius Lol! There going to always be a lot more good companies and defenders that will outnumber any bad actors. Letting defenders defend their product is the right way!

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

If you are an owner of rare works, please please please dont sell it for pennies on the dollar to mega corp. Keep it and train your own local model on it. Control of truth and information is crucial in a world where truth is collapsing into controlled narratives.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world."

My Take
This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email.
ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation."

I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate.
"We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline.

Open source manufacturing at the consumer level is crucial to the balance power. More people need to get into hardware and energy in the US. If you dont, mega corp and mega govt will own everything and " you will be happy" . Consumer ecosystem must grow at the same pace closed source grows. If it doesnt, the abuses that will follow from this will rival the worst moments of humanity in history before decades of corrections to fix the imbalance.

There’s something major happening with @OpenAI & @AnthropicAI’s businesses that has huge implications for the compute and memory complex

>Both Anthropic and OpenAI have had explosive revenue growth this year, while at the same time, seeing significant gross margin expansion (see chart)- close to unheard of for companies to see sequential margin expansion while they’re scaling this aggressively

At least so far, it looks like each jump in capability has been worth more to customers than the cost of delivering it. And that gap is getting wider, not narrower… 1/5 🧵

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

@naval no, but there are backdoors in every major closed platforms that are constantly being discovered otherwise known as zero day "bugs".

[John Ho @0xjohnho]

I'd love to release my cool projects to the world, but Apple takes 6 weeks to approve my developer Application, and takes 4 hours + , likely days to approve my mac app for outside mac store distro while taking 5 min for 98% of other apps. Not a good sign when big govt/big corp run things to the ground.

* not saying this is a real dragon in this case, but it looks like intelligent engineering to me. Same with our eclipses, the moon is so precise that it looks like intelligent engineering again. We have not found any other moon so precisely placed on other planets to create full eclipses.
