Wow! I am 100 pages into Porter’s just released book. It is outstanding. The By Line Is: “Why the Age of Paper Money is Ending and How to Survive the Coming Global Monetary Reset”. He predicts fiat failure in 2029 which aligns with my thought of 2032. Historical, well argued and elegant. If you liked my book you will love this. Highly recommended.
Simon, I actually saw that post and I was honestly curious behind your interpretation. I think I’ve watched every single video you’ve posted since you were on that podcast with Lawrence Leopard. I have a huge amount of respect for what you know and from what I’ve gathered, I am very aligned with your thoughts and philosophies and interpretation. This post caught me off guard to be honest.
Would you believe 57 Republicans and 211 Democrats recently voted in favor of this Orwellian automobile kill-switch? Here’s the roll call for the vote I forced to defund the mandate: https://t.co/dnPxPHFYie
Anthropic decidió dar de baja a toda nuestra organización por una supuesta infracción de sus condiciones de uso. Qué política específica infringimos no tengo ni la menor idea: simplemente recibimos un mail y listo, adiós Claude. Si querés apelar la medida hay que completar un Google Form, así de ridículo como suena.
De golpe más de 60 personas se quedaron sin una herramienta fundamental para trabajar. Integraciones, skills, historial de conversaciones: todo perdido o, en el mejor de los casos, parado por tiempo indeterminado.
Enorme aprendizaje para cualquier empresa de software que dependa de herramientas de IA en procesos críticos. Nunca hay que poner todos los huevos en una canasta.
My Friday Wish:
@natbrunell has a panel with @SimonDixonTwitt , @LukeGromen, @LynAldenContact and @LawrenceLepard on all at once.
The pursuit of the truth of these four is amazing. Natalie, you have killed it as a host. You do such a good job. I also have a podcast, and I have mad respect for your talent.
Claude has gotten dumber and lazier.
Since yesterday when it wasn't taking forever to do simple tasks it's been wayyyy less helpful overall. Asking me to do stuff that it would have just handled previously.
examples:
"i am unable to create a PR, do you have your github authenticated?"
(it was. it never checked)
"I don't have access to [TOOL]"
(it did, i told it so and it was able to do it).
please @AnthropicAI turn it off and back on, something is seriously broken.
@LukeGromen@ProfessorWerner You bet, Luke. I know what it's like to see the forest through the trees while everyone else is staring at tree roots... It's like the Allegory of the Cave... maddening to see the picture clearly and have others deny it.
I have a podcast, and I use it to test my sanity haha

@HayekAndKeynes US blows up Kharg, Iran blows up Qatar, world blows up UST & western sov bond mkts, western CBs blow up currencies via YCC into oil spike to prevent ylds from sending world into debt death spiral, & then a billion people starve globally
There are better ways to do a debt jubilee
AI agents can now hold wallets and make payments without a human involved. Coinbase just launched the infrastructure for it. They also made $1.35 billion last year off your USDC and are lobbying Congress to make sure those agents never use bitcoin.
Brian Armstrong: "Soon there will be more AI agents than humans making transactions."
Every agent transacts on Base, Coinbase's chain. Every payment in USDC. Coinbase buys Treasuries with those dollars, earns risk-free yield. You get nothing.
Now they're on Capitol Hill pushing to limit the de minimis tax exemption to stablecoins only. If bitcoin gets the exemption, agents use bitcoin. If only stablecoins get it, every AI agent on earth defaults to USDC.
They don't want you to use bitcoin as money. They want every transaction on earth, human or machine, running through their tollbooth.
David Sacks, who warned of an impending World War III every single month of the Biden presidency leading up to the 2024 election, has not commented on the ongoing war with Iran.
@LawrenceLepard this was good. He was discussing “the big print “ around 28 min. Said “$20T or so is inevitable”.
It was a good convo.
