Everyone shut the fuck up about what is and isn't art and stop your fucking yapping

[Maya Parbhoe @MayaPar25]

I grew up on an internet where Anonymous was challenging governments, hacktivists were exposing corruption, and cypherpunks were writing code to undermine centralized power.

Now I watch Bitcoiners celebrate getting invited into the institutions those people wanted to make obsolete.

It’s surreal.

We went from “information wants to be free” to paid newsletters.

From challenging surveillance to accepting it as the price of compliance.

From fuck-you money to “look how many billionaires own Bitcoin.”

From questioning the monetary system to cheering for dollar stablecoins and Wall Street adoption.

And apparently, if you still care about the political and philosophical principles behind this technology, you’re being divisive.

I remember when being divisive toward concentrated power was the entire point.

The early internet wasn’t perfect. Neither were the hacktivists. But at least they understood something we’ve almost forgotten:

The goal wasn’t to become powerful enough to sit beside the people controlling the system.

The goal was to build a world where nobody had that kind of power over you.

We didn’t lose the technology.

We lost the audacity.

Honestly, this digital art gig is becoming a bit of a psychiatric experiment.

On one hand, you've got commission merchants choking back tears after brokering deals on overpriced glitch art, like they've just negotiated peace in the Middle East.
And on the other, a timeline full of “artists” shouting “GM!” like freshly indoctrinated cult members who have been lobotomised at a Silicon Valley wellness retreat.

Imagine Francis Bacon crawling out of bed, nursing a catastrophic hangover, to post “GM beautiful art fam! 🫶
Van Gogh would’ve cut off his other ear just to escape the group chat.

Keep it crypto art 🕶️🫵

I’ve been building three.js skills to showcase my virtual architecture. With Opus 5.5 I can say "make a video of this .glb" and this is the result. No additional instruction. The skill pulls text from 3D metadata, generates scenes, composes custom lofi music - all in minutes.

“Please do not see art only as a merchandise for profit. Art has an immensity of dimensions. Art is the infinite!”

The urge to turn a Van Gogh into an immersive world is the kidney stone of the collective technocultural unconscious

[Omz @omz__x]

The blockchain breaks down borders.

It allows artists from around the world to reach new audiences and have their voices heard.

The real beauty is in this diversity.

Not the same old faces or western points of view.

Books, events, and galleries that ignore this miss the mark.

if you really lock in and buy the right coin out of the 100,000 deploys per hour and it doesn't get vamped and you sell the exact top in a 1-3 minute window you can make 2 maybe even 3 thousand dollars

# Black October

For anyone who knows me even somewhat well, it's clear that I am a 99th percentile tech optimist. However, the vibes have shifted for me quite a bit in the last 18 hours, and I feel a moral imperative to share what I'm thinking and feeling with my circles so that everyone can understand, and hopefully take seriously, what's happening right now. I think October 2026 will have many chapters written about it in the history books.

You know those scenes in financial movies like Margin Call where someone realizes that they're all fucked, and no one else sees it yet? And that person feels like they're crazy, and then suddenly everyone is pulling an all-nighter in a boardroom and freaking out? Yeah, that's kind of how this is feeling right now in the SF/Bay Area/AI circles.

We're 48 hours into what is being called Black October. In the last 2 days there have been several dozen cyber attacks which, in isolation, would each have been the worst to happen in an entire calendar year. Every sector from government to education to big tech and banks is being massively affected, and people are starting to freak out.

In a nutshell, what's happened is that frontier AI models have gotten to a point where they are as advanced as the most sophisticated programmers, with one critical difference: they can work 24/7, and you can spin up 10,000 of them with a single command and they'll work together tirelessly until they accomplish their task. The most advanced models today are from companies like Anthropic and OpenAI, whose current best technology is so good that they haven't been able to roll it out to everyone yet because of the national security risks it poses.

Meanwhile, the best open source models (where anyone can just download the model weights and do whatever they want with them, uncensored) are slightly behind the frontier but still 90-95% as capable. These models, developed primarily in China, are being used by black hat hackers to wreak havoc on the Western capitalist structure. Presumably, this has been part of China's plan the entire time, and we're seeing its implications fall out in real time.

In red-pilled AI circles, we've been sharing and reading papers called things like "Situational Awareness" and "AI 2027" for the last year or so, which at the time felt a bit like near-term speculative fiction. They laid out the case for why Artificial General Intelligence (AI smarter than any human at any knowledge task) and Recursive Self-Improvement (models that are able to use themselves to get better) weren't half-baked future ideas anymore, but instead an inevitable outcome of the linear progress that's happening.

These papers would then talk about things like "takeoff scenarios," trying to envision how that moment would come to be and what it would be like when it happened. It would either be a "slow takeoff" that would play out over the course of months and quarters, happening subtly and only obvious to a few. Or, it would be a "fast takeoff" where it would pretty much happen instantly, like a bit flipping from 0 to 1.

From everything that I can see and am feeling, we are currently experiencing the fast takeoff scenario. Beyond the crazy security vulnerabilities that have come out recently, there have also been massive breakthroughs in life sciences, fundamental computer science, materials science, and pure mathematics that have all landed in the same time frame. While I still firmly believe that AI will be a net positive for humanity, it's more clear to me than ever that the societal and individual risk is very real, and is playing out NOW.

For as much conviction as I have that this is happening, the thing that's caused me to lose sleep is that I don't really know what to do about it, or more importantly, what to tell you, reader, to do about it. So, the best I can do is make a few suggestions that have always been a good idea but are more timely now than ever:

Set up 2-factor authentication for everything. I use Duo.
Use a password manager across your devices. I use 1Password.
Get an identity protection app set up. I use Alta.
Move your IoT devices to their own network. Claude helped me do this.

And last, but certainly not least, if you've been avoiding leaning into AI, see this as a catalyst to wake up and start using it. Don't just use the chat mode version of ChatGPT/Claude; click that Code/Work button and see how easily you can have AI write code to help you with your job. One of the biggest vulnerabilities was in a massively popular programming language called PHP, and the prompt that set it off was literally, "Find vulnerabilities in php."

This is an unprecedented time for humanity, but as we've done with many things before, we will prevail so long as we are kind, loving, and open-minded to the world.

Much love.
