AI bubble bursts when enterprise figures out how to run Chinese models.

Which is why US regulations will prevent that from happening.

everyone knows why elon musk is so hated by the socialists, it's not exactly rocket science

wait actually yes it is

[mert @mert]

this is much, much, much worse than it sounds

there's an argument for social media being bad for children

but this should be up to the parents to modulate, not bureaucrats who think they own you

to enforce this, you have to enforce collecting personal information of i) children (which is insane) but also ii) literally everyone since you cant distinguish age beforehand

which means mandatory state surveillance for absolutely everyone

now combine that with new AI cybersecurity and unstructured data capabilities and you get both: i) more draconian and complicated controls and profiling by the state for a LIFETIME

and ii) your personal information almost certainly being hacked and leaked to thousands of criminals. that is children's sensitive information getting in the hands of bad guys at internet scale

privacy in crypto is not enough, but if done right, it is crucial, as it can spearhead advancing tech like FHE and ZK while also helping fund new privacy projects in all sectors

private capital and money is upstream of the resistance everyone will need

capitalist: I make something you want and you pay me if you like it

socialist: I steal what you make and your money and use it to make everything worse for everyone

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.

The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.

And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.

Imagine the companies that don't exist, because Washington destroyed them before they were born.

Thanks, Anthropic, for helping protect Zcash users. At Shielded Labs’s request, they ran a security audit of Zcash with Mythos. It did not find any more serious bugs in the Zcash protocol. Shielded Labs and others are continuing security hardening work. Stay tuned for updates.

yesterday i signed up again for claude max $200 plan and had it change the whole visual metaphor of the productivity app i’ve been working on intermittently over the past year: instead of a traditional UI with tables, lists, tools, etc, i told Fable to use a desktop OS metaphor instead for displaying the various built-in mini apps (tasks, chat, notes, etc). all with a functioning dock and animated wallpaper and multiple window support etc.

fable was able to solve the problem but really i’m beyond the point of being impressed by an LLM doing some upfront task. everything worked, it “made no mistakes”, all tests passed (it even fixed old tests), but i was like ok whatever thanks. i blew past my $200 limit in 2 hours.

and now i’m sitting here like, ok, now what? do i ship this? hear me be a whiny bitch for a second: that it was too easy killed the whole part of the journey of making an app where you become a new person through the creation process, and you earn such pride in your work which in the past gave you the energy and courage to ship things.

and i’m like, i can ship this. i can try to make a buck. the app is done. but i just don’t feel a bond with the work. now if you were a somewhat savvy operator, the business type that would happily sell refrigerator coolant if you sensed an opportunity, AI will be a godsend for you. but i don’t wanna sell refrigerator coolant.

and now because everything is so easy, i hardly ever feel like i’m solving a real problem anymore. it’s like how deep of a problem am i really solving if someone can one shot my app in 2 hours?

i will say that in those 2 hours yesterday, i really enjoyed being back near the code. there’s nothing funner than making shit.

it’s just that the new way of doing things kills a lot of the creative and spiritual juices you used to get before, that many times lead to commercially beneficial outcomes.

now, i just don’t know what’s worth building anymore.

when did everyone everywhere get so pessimistic about everything

we live in a literal golden era. sci-fi esque intelligent machines, miracle drugs, self-driving cars, spaceflight, new monetary systems, robotics, quantum computing

this shit is awesome

Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

Advice for AI engineers 💡

Stop building LangGraph pipelines.

Modern LLMs are so good at tool calling that your hand-crafted orchestration is actually hurting performance.

Let the model decide.

So ZEC is just BTC minus Saylor, 99% cheaper and private? Seems like a no brainer to me

[Jasper @KarelCrypteau]

@TaikiMaeda2 I feel like the better narrative for ZEC is bitcoin without Saylor (+quantum proof) anyways
