I love these goofy anti-education losers because they think you just rocked up with a chisel at 18 and someone said 'ok so do what you want, enjoy, cathedral there please'. The guilds and apprenticeships were hardcore. It was a degree, as we'd understand it, and highly specialised
Bitcoin’s Backbone Is Rising. Price Has Not Caught Up.
Bitcoin is trading well below its power-law, scale-invariant backbone while new capital keeps entering a fixed-supply asset.
Layer 1: structural power-law backbone
Layer 2: asymmetric upside from trading below trend
Layer 3: reflexive adoption of a fixed-supply asset
Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently got the political equivalent of what baseball players call a brushback pitch — a fastball deliberately thrown dangerously close to a batter’s head in order to intimidate the player, who must flinch or duck to avoid a devastating injury.
The mayor is getting municipal chin music from the major bond-rating agencies: Moody’s formally changed its outlook on the city’s finances from “stable” to “negative,” and S&P Global Ratings opined that Mamdani’s budget plan will “make it difficult to sustain budgetary balance beyond fiscal years 2026 and 2027.” The negative outlook from the agencies is a warning, writes columnist Errol Louis. The next step could be a downgrade of the city’s bond rating, which would raise the cost of borrowing money for routine city operations.
Mamdani maintains that the decision to revise the outlook is premature, pointing out that the city’s overall credit rating remains strong and has not been downgraded. But the message from Wall Street seemed crystal clear: Unless Mamdani adopts a more fiscally conservative approach, we will punish City Hall in the markets.

🚨 BREAKING: A new research paper proved that the future computer will have no apps at all and no operating systems like Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Instead, it may run entirely on AI agents.
The concept is called AgentOS.
Here’s the problem researchers identified.
Today’s AI agents are becoming incredibly capable.
Systems like OpenClaw can already:
• control a local computer
• execute complex workflows
• connect and use external tools
• perform multi-step tasks autonomously
But there’s a hidden limitation.
All of these agents still run inside traditional operating systems.
And those systems were designed for a completely different era.
Modern operating systems like Windows, macOS, and Linux were built around two interaction models:
• GUI (Graphical User Interface) clicking icons and navigating windows
• CLI (Command Line Interface) typing commands into a terminal
These models were designed for humans manually operating software.
Not for AI agents coordinating complex tasks across dozens of tools.
This creates a fundamental mismatch.
And it leads to several problems.
First: fragmentation.
Every application exists in its own silo.
Data, workflows, and permissions are separated across different programs.
Second: context loss.
When a task spans multiple tools, the system has no unified understanding of what the user is trying to accomplish.
Each app only sees a small piece of the workflow.
Third: messy permissions and hidden automation.
Many AI tools bypass normal system controls to get things done.
Researchers call this phenomenon “Shadow AI.”
Where autonomous agents operate across systems without clear structure, governance, or transparency.
In short:
AI agents are powerful.
But the operating system architecture isn’t designed for them.
So researchers propose a new paradigm.
A new type of operating system called AgentOS.
Instead of apps running on the system…
The system itself becomes an AI coordination layer.
At the center is something called the Agent Kernel.
Think of it as the brain of the entire computer.
This kernel continuously interprets user intent and manages intelligent agents.
It can:
• understand natural language requests
• break complex tasks into smaller steps
• coordinate multiple specialized AI agents
• select the right tools for each step
And traditional software?
It evolves into something called Skills-as-Modules.
Instead of launching separate applications, capabilities become modular skills that agents can dynamically combine.
For example, instead of manually opening multiple tools:
• a document editor
• a spreadsheet
• a presentation app
• an email client
You simply say:
“Analyze this report, extract the key insights, create slides, and send them to my team.”
The Agent Kernel interprets the request.
Then it automatically selects and orchestrates the required skills.
No apps.
No switching windows.
Just intent → execution.
In other words:
Computers stop being app platforms.
They become intent platforms.
