aww.. we thought crypto would be the payment rail for agents

[artlu @artlu99]

so ... is Mythos vibe coding the best human-aligned kyc ever rn

[artlu @artlu99]

@kunchenguid makes sense!

thank you so much for your investigations

[artlu @artlu99]

@kunchenguid want to run my intuition by you -- if I use a CLI or TUI framework, does that eat less tokens / flatten the comparison across languages?

Charm (go)
Commander (Node)
click or Typer (python)
ratatui (Rust)
incur (by wevm) - super modern

**$871M USD Reserve left as of May 25** (after drawing from ~$2B+ prior reserves to fund the $1.38B cash outlay). They plan to replenish via ATM equity/preferred sales while maintaining a robust buffer for preferred dividends and credit support.

Full size was prudent: locked in ~$120M accretion at 8% discount, cut 2029 converts in half (lowering dilution/leverage to $6.7B total), added ~0.7% BTC yield, and cleaned the balance sheet proactively while notes traded cheap. Multiple levers (ATM, BTC optionality, 843k+ holdings) made it low-risk vs. leaving excess idle cash. Smart capital allocation.

@pirosb3 3/x

...discombobulated, that rather than follow my new instructions which conflicted with the prior established pattern, it started answering in Chinese rather than English

old pattern: always say something

new pattern: only write to log, say nothing

monk AI: 用中文说话

@pirosb3 2/x

tried ~7 intellectual traditions, incl experimental scientist, financial quant, non-fiction author, journalist

I could succeeded in getting all of them to change their minds (on a trivial technical implementation pattern) except the monk persona, which got so internally...

[artlu @artlu99]

@pirosb3 yeah, I use it as a sounding board and try to give it room to explore

the AI tends to tell me my ideas are brilliant haha

any useful tricks in your bag that you can share?

[artlu @artlu99]

@frdysk https://t.co/m9y4gMKMZf

machines (dot) cash solved this

WITHOUT any unproven tech (zk), just existing blockchain rails

unfortunately, they are shutting down

this should be studied fr

@kennyistyping > Anyone who's followed me for a while knows I have strong feelings regarding social feeds

can confirm

[artlu @artlu99]

Low-key making progress on Zig and Vyper projects rn

[Patrick Collins @PatrickAlphaC]

Low-key don’t build for the next 6 months. This is nuts.

[artlu @artlu99]

@frdysk blame AI lol

@jarredsumner Did you rest on the 7th day?

[artlu @artlu99]

@kennyistyping ok I want to argue with you (I want micropayments to be a thing)

money can be a fair, impartial gate

no crazy rules to judge worthiness, just price

we just didn't have good enough gate tek before, for these micro-markets to emerge

[artlu @artlu99]

@paulbohm Sonnet: hold my beer

[artlu @artlu99]

@kennyistyping also that whole exchange-might-steal-funds-and-I-won't-have-recourse thing

[artlu @artlu99]

@kennyistyping I think this is true: "the psuedoanon [sic] privacy of BTC/ETH is private enough..."

one pain point of on-demand addresses is related to secrets tracking / taxes. But this is accounting, not tech

unfort. the fancy crypto appears mumbo-jumbo, and attracts money and attention
