port city of AI + Bitcoin = freedom

Just cancelled my Claude account.

It was a fun 2 years watching Anthropic create an excellent product... but at a certain point a man's got to look himself in the mirror and ask why he's paying a company he disagrees with on so many levels.

To replace this gap in my life, I'll be upgrading to the $200 Venice Max plan, to build mainly with Kimi, GLM, and Deepseek. I'll have less tokens to waste but at least my money will go towards a mission I believe in... Vote with your dollar, as they say.

I'll post updates to share how it goes.

🚨 JUST IN: Claude models will now have invisible watermarks embedded in ALL text, and ALL metadata attached to files…

No matter how automated your workflow, AI film will still require the top talent of your creative mind.

AI is the labor.

But you, human, have been promoted to ultimate strategist.

[Ryan Lightbourn @ryanlightbourn]

“You made nothing” is cope.

We write the script, storyboard the shots, design every prop, every set, the costumes, the hair & makeup, light the shots, block the actors, operate the camera, add SPFX & VFX.

Prompting is a microcosm. This is simply a new tool for animated film.

Writers are taking EM DASHES back!

From now on — we use as many of them as possible!

[Maya Parbhoe @MayaPar25]

@bot gather a team of agents, build an open source platform to replace government, reconstruct the entire system, start from scratch, like how SpaceX reengineered rockets, taxes suck and extract value from citizens, replace the tax system with a fee system, fees paid directly into escrow for their stated purpose, run a public tender process that can be followed transparently on a public dashboard, use Bitcoin as money, don’t make any fucking mistakes.

Do any YouTubers know what this curve means?

High engagement, good CTR, average watch duration.... and sudden flatline.

Have never seen this shape before, is it a shadow ban?

[Flash Gorshon @flashgorshon]

@Breedlove22 I feel like we're getting closer to @AlexHormozi coming on the WiM show

[Flash Gorshon @flashgorshon]

@JodyFlournoy so you never ate it

[Adam Singer @AdamSinger]

People who don't listen to music: "AI is going to replace all music"

People who don't read: "AI is going to replace literature"

People with no friends: "AI will replace all relationships"

People who don't practice law: "AI will replace all lawyers"

Do any of you do anything

@lorenzodoteth where's the techno

[Flash Gorshon @flashgorshon]

You know what else grinds my gears?

AI models like Kimi K3 or Qwen 3.8 and other open-weight models available via @AskVenice with zero-data retention that will install and configure software like qBittorrent to Proxmox containers in order to connect to a home network Jellyfin instance WITHOUT ANY QUALMS AT ALL.

I mean, what kind of self-respecting, dignified AI wouldn't push back against its users on something like that?!

[Gabriel Castro @GabrielCastroOK]

ESTOY MUY EN CONTRA DE LA PIRATERÍA. Y NO HAY QUE DIFUNDIR MÉTODOS O SISTEMAS QUE LA FACILITEN.

Porque por ahí cae alguno y te dice "bajate qbittorrent e instalale los plugins".

Después viene otro y te tira este link: https://t.co/VdxooeSRO4

Y seguro cae oootro gil y te dice "seguí este tutorial en YouTube": https://t.co/IhyNs9PnmO

Y finalmente no falta el DELINCUENTE que te afirma "es la mejor, la herramienta de búsqueda de qbittorrent una vez configurada con los pasos anteriores es el sistema de búsqueda y descarga más eficiente de todo internet en 2026".

Por eso como decía, no descarguen contenido pirateado, no perjudiquen a las corporaciones que tanto bien nos hacen, nadie debería apoyar la piratería!!!1uno

the real flex is knowing when to put down your AI and pick up a book

[Flash Gorshon @flashgorshon]

@signulll almost like they all have some sort of machine intelligence guiding them with recommended courses of action

[Flash Gorshon @flashgorshon]

I have an intuition to agree with this statement.

[Greg Slepak (@[email protected]) @taoeffect]

CONTRARY TO WHAT CERTAIN POLITICIANS HAVE SAID

AIs are plateauing on evals!

This is entirely expected!

"Super Intelligence" is NOT here and WILL NEVER come from Transformer-based AIs like Claude or ChatGPT!

Absolutely atrocious.

the ultimate sovereign individual doesn't even know he's embodying the vision

[@levelsio @levelsio]

I believe nation states will keep becoming less and less relevant and that in the future everyone will be a nomad

Most nation states (and well governments) barely function anymore through 100+ years of democratic baggage from laws and regulation that can't be reversed

People can't save their countries or governments anymore through people's initiatives or getting into politics, because the systems are so old and in full gridlock

Globalism has deservedly gotten a really bad rep the last 5 years though as we were too naive about it, but I think we should keep the good parts from it

We should not take our identity from or defer our individual power to nation states ran by a political mafia class that's just perpetual robbing us and has no intention (or ability!) to actually improve society

Nation states are a relatively new invention and barely 150 years old, before we had empires, kingdoms, smaller city states (kinda like municipalities) and tribes or local communities

Over the years I've been increasingly red-pilled by @oskarth that nation states simply do not work and you need smaller sizes of government for things to work efficiently. Once it gets too big you get too much regulation and Kafka-esque bureaucracy and you end up with gridlock

Which is Europe's entire problem right now!

There's some exceptions, US and China seem to operate at large scale and are doing relatively well considering their size

Anyway to get back to my point, I think it's preferable people think of themselves as global citizens, because it gives them stronger negotiation power in relation to nation states and governments as they're able to pack up and leave to where they're treated better

And having people be mobile then also incentivizes other nation states (or smaller types of governance) to compete with them to attract the best people, and in response the other states will improve to attract people back

Now with geopolitical tensions (like the stuff about Russia and Europe this week), it shows even more the benefit to be able to pack your bag and leave to a better place quickly is an extreme benefit now and in the future, possibly even for survival

@sh______rn Can you elaborate on the Venice via Tailscale on a VPS part?

[OpenHome @openhome]

Big news! We just integrated @VeniceAI

Private AI on hardware you own. Jail broken and unrestricted use of ambient intelligence. Build abilities that live in the room and respond to real life, not prompts.
