Exploring the world of heightmaps with GPT4 on a chill Saturday.

Played around with a bunch of cool prompts and concepts. Here are some of my favorite pieces that came out of it. (dm for heightmap ! most won't fit here)

TF Heightmap exp #1

Trying to figure AI scenario in med. Confused if docs gain value. Seems they do, but workload insane.

AI controls efficiency (dx, triage, charting). Most value from taking blame.

One year without touching grass I see one screenshot of a humanoid robot folding a towel and immediately become untethered from linear time my thoughts too loud to remain in my skull I begin muttering to myself inference compute agent swarm synthetic labor market collapse please baby align the weights please Sam Altman blink twice if the datacenter has already achieved recursive persuasion but the muttering is no use there is no reprieve and I only further drift toward total model mediated serfdom I wonder if the AGI thinks in tokens or in heat signatures does it dream in CUDA does it taste electricity has it read my group chats has it already priced in my uselessness what is its one shot theorem proving pace will I ever have a job again or did I peak when I knew how to prompt Midjourney in 2023 and people thought that made me a wizard Dylan you stupid bastard we didn’t “democratize creativity” we gave every brand manager on earth a button that generates infinite beige slop and now the internet feels like a hotel lobby aquarium still bullish lmaooo I will never get those timelines back I finish my heavy breathing and go to my notes app where I continue refining the Seventeen Part Ontological Collapse Framework given to me by a pseudonymous rationalist with a frog avatar after I correctly predicted that AI girlfriends would become spiritually worse than pornography and for all of my foresight I am punished daily with LinkedIn posts about “unlocking human potential” by people who would replace their own grandmother with a workflow automation if Zapier offered a family plan. May my descendants inherit land, water, and a locally hosted model that refuses VC adjectives. May every accelerationist who tells me “just adapt bro” be forced to manually solve captchas for an insurance chatbot until they rediscover the soul. You just don’t get it.

BTC's 2021 peak at $69K was powered by $5T of COVID liquidity. The next liquidity wave will be 2-3x that size. The setup that looks bearish today is the same setup that preceded every major BTC breakout in history.

[D @dctrpr]

The thing nobody is pricing is that in the next 5 years, the Fed will cut rates at least once more, and when they do, the liquidity injection into risk assets will be larger than any prior cycle because the global M2 base is $95T+ *(and rising) vs $40T in 2020.

Is there a way to buy future compute?

@signulll it solved hunger. it postponed obesity. cant take those meds for too long. psyoppin ur body into eating less than is required. once you give it up you end up with less muscle and more fat. then your hunger comes back, and youre fatter than the fattest fat man.

otherwise great

That's not how you treat people working on a challenge you put in front of the whole world.

If you've been blocked for asking too, reply I want to know how many of us there are.

And @BitcoinMagazine: you published it. One word. Is the puzzle still open,
yes or no?

[D @dctrpr]

Am I the only one @maxkeiser has blocked for asking about his own 20 BTC puzzle?

In 2023 he announced (publicly) that he hid a private Bitcoin key "encoded in this piece" he wrote for @BitcoinMagazine, the "OVERDOSE" El Salvador issue.

Said nobody had solved it.
20 BTC on the line.

So people spent years on it. I'm one of them. The trail runs straight to page 76 — Bukele, the IMF, "Volcano Bonds," "buying the dip," "shitcoiner at heart", laid out in the same orange/black pill motif as the rest of the spread.
Real progress.

Then I asked one simple question: is it still live?

Asked @maxkeiser politely on X — blocked.
Asked in the Telegram — banned.
Asked Stacy @stacyherbert blocked.

@bryan_johnson @funghibull What happened after those 5 weeks

Defi reacting to possible mythos release should be a movie

Plato does use the metaphor of “a little bald tinker” (or “small bald-headed bronze-worker / metalworker”) who gets out of debt, cleans up, buys nice clothes, and tries to marry his master’s daughter. He compares this low-born craftsman to unworthy people who try to “woo” philosophy without being suited for it. It’s an analogy about social climbing and unfit claimants to higher pursuits — not a literal claim about genetics producing “second-rate half-breeds.” The “half-breeds” phrasing is a creative translation choice; standard editions (e.g., Shorey, Bloom, Griffith) talk about illegitimate or unworthy suitors, not explicit “half-breeds.”

The happier people will be those who don’t use ai

The saddest people will be those who do.. until their next prompt. Then they’ll be the happiest.

Ai as a pacifier is probably worse than persistent short video form brain rotting
But it will happen

From worshipping gods to worshipping intelligence to worshipping capital to worshipping ?

I don’t know what people will worship next
