👉 Also: What is “My Brain on Chain“?

It’s the first complete human brain inscribed on the Bitcoin blockchain, an act of decentralizing the ego. 🟧

amazing to see Rutherford Chang in this survey of major systems artists of the last 60 years

✊ a milestone ✊

Chang's work, as we witness with CENTS, roots in the undercurrents that drive history.

CENTS brought Ordinals into UCCA, one of the world’s leading contemporary art institutions.

CENTS was selected by Christie’s for Beyond the Screen, a highly curated digital art auction that positioned digital art within the wider contemporary art landscape.

CENTS is the only ordinal that has a chapter in TASCHEN’s On NFTs and it has been written about by Frieze, Monopol, e-flux, Bitcoin Magazine, Art in America …

… and I’m not even talking about the community yet :-)

AI Feels Like 1999 All Over Again 🔄

👉 We’ve seen this movie before!

As someone who was already on the brink of adulthood when the dot-com bubble burst, the current AI moment feels deeply familiar.

We witnessed the birth of the internet in real time. The hype. The impossible valuations. The belief that every company with a website would change the world overnight.

Then the bubble burst.

But the Internet wasn’t just that bubble.
What survived after the collapse became the foundation of modern life:
Google, Amazon, digital infrastructure, social media, cloud computing - an entirely new reality emerged from the wreckage.

The bubble was real. 🫧 
But the technology was real too. ✅

👉 AI is probably both!

That’s exactly how I currently see AI.
The enthusiasm, capital, and expectations seem massively ahead of actual capabilities and - perhaps more importantly - sustainable business models.

It feels like many people assume we’ll skip directly to the “world-changing dominance” phase without passing through the inevitable correction first.

A lot of today’s AI valuations feel less like mature ecosystems and more like pre-bubble psychology.

After the crash comes the real revolution.
That’s why I’m convinced something extraordinary will remain after the dust settles.

Just like the internet survived the dot-com collapse and ultimately transformed nearly every aspect of human life, AI will likely do the same.

The question is not whether AI matters.
The question is whether we are currently pricing the future as if it has already arrived. 🤔
