it’s insane to realize that humans have been on earth for hundreds of thousands of years and we are witnessing the exact moment when artificial intelligence is born right now
Fun feature in the History of Bitcoin about the time I bagged 30,000 of the black market BTC at auction.
The night before the auction, I decided that I would actually bid over the market price. The market was $618 and I bid $632.
My thinking was this: either Bitcoin would be extraordinary and transform the world economy, or it wouldn’t.
If it did, the market for Bitcoin against fiat would be infinite, as Bitcoin rose and the dollar fell.
If it didn’t, I would lose my investment. It didn’t really matter much if I bid $617 or $632. I was surprised that I won all nine lots, and I ended up buying more than was prudent for me, so I tried to get my old partnership at DFJ to share the purchase, but they didn’t want it, so I ended up owning the whole thing.
I had to wait about an hour for the six verifications to go through as the blockchain was so slow back then. I made the US Marshall’s office stay on the phone for the entire verification. I had to pay them the money upfront, and they needed to deliver the bitcoin.

Why are robotics companies obsessed with making nightmare fuel?
Only one of these doesn't look like it would kill me in my sleep.
You would think 'not looking deadly' would be a top priority for home robots, but apparently not.
Great job @sundayrobotics
Just so I'm clear - we're in a boom but on the verge of a cataclysmic bust, and the only thing that can save us from the bust is an all powerful intelligence that will eliminate most of the world's jobs and maybe most of the humans but also has a decent chance of creating infinite abundance by solving every hard problem and leaving us with limitless freetime and this is is the bargain that most of the US economy hinges on and we're still meant to just go to sweetgreens and eat our kale and wait this all out
