something about irrational and insolvent

[NoLimit @NoLimitGains]

🚨 China just ruled that firing workers to replace them with AI is illegal.

Here’s what actually happened.

A tech company in Hangzhou fired a worker after replacing his role with automation.

They offered him a reassignment at a 40% pay cut.

He refused, they terminated him.

Court ruled: ILLEGAL.

The companies’ legal argument was that AI adoption counts as a “major change in objective circumstances” under Chinese labor law, which allows dismissal.

Courts in Hangzhou and Beijing both rejected it.

AI adoption is a voluntary business decision. The cost of that decision cannot be transferred to the employee.

Before any AI-driven termination, companies must now offer retraining first, then reassignment at fair pay.

Only after both fail can they terminate, and only with full compensation.

The US has no equivalent ruling. No federal protection, no precedent.

170,000 American workers were laid off citing AI this year alone.

Not one of those dismissals triggered a legal challenge that stuck.

China is deploying AI faster than almost any country on earth. They’re not slowing it down.

I’ve been here for a very long time and when I make a new move in the market, I’ll mention it here.

Make sure you’re following with notifications on, this is very important.

Many people will wish they followed me sooner.

If you're not on experimental peptides, maintaining a Mac mini farm of Clawdbots, have 50 claudes doing your bidding 24/7, squatting ATG 4 plates for reps, cranking diet coke and nootropics, using intracranial NIR photobiomodulation, on sleep-maxxing stack, you're NGMI in 2026

Your time horizon for strategic planning should approximately be equal to the length of time your organization has existed so far.

I really don't understand why everyone is so upset and sentiment in the crypto market is so low right now.

All you had to do was go all in on SOL in 2023 for an average price of $20 (up 12x) then rotate your entire SOL bag into $BONK in mid October and rotate out of it in mid December (up 190x) for $WIF. And then rotate out of $WIF in April 2024 (up 470x) into stables. Then you could've bridged to Hyperliquid and farmed perps volume for months before the airdrop happened. In October, you could've bought into the $ai16z presale at $80k mc and $VIRTUAL at $0.05. In November, you would've been airdropped millions of dollars of $HYPE from Hyperliquid and could've rotated all your stables into $HYPE at launch and sold at $30 (up 15x) a week later. In December, you could've taken a break and spent time with your family who've forgotten your name at this point. In January, you could've sold your $VIRTUAL at $5 (up 100x) and your $ai16z at $2.4 (up 21,000x) and then rotated your entire net worth into the $TRUMP coin at $1 and sold at $75 (up 75x) a day later. And if you missed any of the plays above, you got pillaged and raped onchain.

But if you did all of the above and compounded your wealth, you are now up 120,055,500,000x (excluding the ai16z presale since you couldn't size into it).

Instead, you decided to bet on Ethereum (up 7% which is 1.07x) during that same time.

Fight or flight is kicking in. There’s no time to be melancholy and ignore the pressing issue. the only choice is to amass as much capital as possible over the next 3-4 years as that’s all the time that’s left.

@PrestonPysh Who did he say his favorite interview was?

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Florida man accepts his fate after being bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake, says he is "cooked" but at least it will make a good meme.

Gotta respect his commitment to the meme game.

Social media influencer David Humphlett told the snake "good game" (gg) before he was rushed to the hospital, appearing to accept that he may not make it.

Humphlett received 88 vials of antivenom and is miraculously expected to survive.

He has been in the ICU for two *weeks* as doctors continue to fight the venom.

"My reaction was just like, 'Dang it, this is really bad,' ... It was pretty scary because my whole body went numb, head to toe."

Humphlett still can't move his ankle.

When I lived in Manhattan, the mindset that "we need to protect the bankers' big salaries because everyone else here benefits from their spending" really chaffed on me

Seems like we've gone national with that now: "Let's all service the rich b/c they spend a lot"

I'm a true capitalist. But do we really want America to be an aristocracy/oligarchy?

I don't.

Remove the sweetheart treatments. Put bad actors in jail. Get money out of politics. Dismantle cartel advantages where they exist. Make everyone play by the same set of rules.

If spending/tax revenues go down for a bit in response, we'll get by. And new competition will fill the gaps over time, making things fairer & more efficient.
