BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the CLARITY Act, including our Securities Clarity Act and elements of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act.
A. An interesting law would be to enshrine the right to run a node for every citizen.
B. Economically, would be good to see hardware costs for machines compress to stay in equilibrium with data size increases.
Perhaps A is counterproductive for B, so B is probably where we should focus more.
Here’s another reframe.
AI doesn’t take your job.
AI takes the job of the previous AI.
For example, Midjourney took the job of Stable Diffusion. And Claude Code is competing for the job of OpenAI Codex.
Because once you know how to prompt an AI model in a given domain, once it’s really part of your workflow, it’s easy to swap in a new one.
That means you’re always “employing” an AI image model, an AI code model, an AI video model, and so on. You essentially have budget for AI contractors in each vertical. But you’re constantly upgrading to the best new model.
Thus: AI takes the job of the previous AI.
i do think the future of work is like starcraft or age of empires. you have 200 microagents you’re directing to fix problems, gather information, reach out to people, design new systems, etc.

Bitcoiners running nodes should not prune. Keeping the chain in tact from Genesis and helping other Bitcoiners sync is essential. We actually have Bitcoiners today saying "the size of the chain doesn't matter. Just run a pruned node." I reject this.
If everyone runs a pruned node, we end up in a really bad place. Don't promote users neutering their nodes so others can store unlimited garbage under the rug.
