@SpaceComputerIO Wondering if it relates affects you?

[Claude @claudeai]

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.

This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.

[Ofer Rotem @oferrotem]

@EliBenSasson Very curious to see what comes out of it, product(s)-wise.

Good luck with these turbulent times, Eli ❤️🙏

[Ofer Rotem @oferrotem]

This episode is very accurate and aligned. From the first words of how a person needs to work first on themselves, until the end with a need to take action.

I believe Amagi is that action.

This week’s Frankly marks a turning point in the work of The Great Simplification. Having spent 20 years articulating the more-than-human predicament, I shift from diagnosis to direction as current events accelerate the timeline.

@NJHagens Wow. This is very much aligned with the model we've designed and are implementing in our village. Would love to have you on our Podcast and see what we could improve in our model. Thank you for this.

Distributed in the sky and @AmagiLife could be the community-owned distributed ground counterparts. Earth-to-orbit collaboration 🛰️🌍

Shared equity

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

True.

Once the solar energy generation to robot manufacturing to chip fabrication to AI loop is closed, conventional currency will just get in the way.

Just wattage and tonnage will matter, not dollars.

The network state movement is graduating from whitepapers to land.
In Thailand, we're building investable villages, living in community, and earning equity through contribution, not just capital.
First founding residents joining the future of living. Exciting & challenging.

@noma_collective @johnrushx @marclou @T_Zahil @bryan_johnson Should partner with Daniel. Would definitely like to see it happening! 🏡

@viktordio_ @AmagiLife Was great to have you! Thank you for coming over, and hope to see you soon, on KP and in Switzerland!

At https://t.co/vZPvp5LSlk we're actively building that better world.
Starting with a small group, building a first village, coordinating with other villages, forming a network. Strategically, intentionally, diligently.

[Jonathan Louis Dent @jonathanldent]

As the masks continue to fall and the world reveals itself more clearly, resist the pull toward cynicism. The oppressor depends on our hopelessness to survive. Surround yourself with people who not only believe a better world is possible, but who are deliberately building it within every aspect of their lives.

[Sterlin Lujan @SterlinLujan]

I just spoke at one of the top spaces on X at the time. Somehwere in the neighborhood of 3k+ listeners.

It was a privacy-focused space, arranged by @SecretNetwork.

Clearly, privacy is assuming a new degree of importance in Web3. I see this as an overall good thing, but maturing also comes with a significant risk.

Let's discuss.

My primary concern is that with the mainstreaming and institutionalization of privacy, the crypto-anarchist message will gradually become diluted. Indeed, this is what is happening. Several speakers in the space were celebrating the desire to be AML and KYC compliant, fully embracing the broken regulatory frameworks. This is probably why Vitalik said, "Privacy is three-quarters of the way to becoming gentrified."

When the message that privacy should be tenuous and provisional becomes dominant, the privacy ecosystem can be hijacked by actors seeking to control the space, narrative, and development roadmaps.

What does this mean for us?

We should work to bring the crypto-anarchist message to as many people as possible. We must undertake a campaign of evangelism to promote the importance of a privacy-by-default, non-compromising position. If the narrative that privacy is always provisional gains sway, we lose ground to the gatekeepers and bureaucrats.

We have a mighty OG crypto-anarchic contingency that should maintain a strong voice as more of these forums and spaces for privacy emerge. I am a firm believer in the criticality of open dialogue. We can indeed continue to build privacy-centric, decentralized public goods. But if the center of our ecosystem gets commandeered by politicos, the mass of users will gravitate toward cucked protocols with backdoors for the alphabet soup agencies to exploit.

In this regard, standing up for privacy as a fundamental human right, with no room for compromise, is what will ensure our position receives a fair hearing as society transitions to a privacy-centric new orthodoxy.

I can certainly understand the desire to play nice, especially as the ecosystem grows, but playing into the hands of a maturing technocracy will only dwindle our power and efficacy. It is a Faustian bargain. This is essentially what happened to Bitcoin, almost verbatim.

Let's continue to ramp up our efforts, not only on the technical front but also on the advocacy side, as privacy begins to fall under the new Overton Window.

Coming up soon!

[Ancient @ancientsh]

Devconnect was great to meet like-minded builders

While we were there, @brady_ancient, sat down with @mrs_vcs, @viktordio_, and @oferrotem to chat about future

Full podcast dropping soon thanks to @ZkAv_Club

[Ofer Rotem @oferrotem]

Talking at Devconnect, Buenos Aires, on Nov 21st, 12:30pm.

Join me to participate in a talk about:
Regenerative Tokenomics: Designing Village Economies That Reward Community Contribution Over Speculation

Would love to share our ideas at Amagi and hear from others theirs.

As kids we believed everything was possible. Our dreams weren't filtered. That version of us is still in there & we can start small. It's worth it.

You spend 80,000 hours at work in your lifetime. 1/3 of your waking life. Right now, are those hours building something YOU believe in? Or are you filling the void with weekend escapes and self-help books?
@rcbregman asks the hard question: what are you actually building? 🧵

[Ofer Rotem @oferrotem]

100 years ago: Universal education? Radical. Women voting? Unthinkable. Yet here we are.
Community-owned housing, sustainable villages, work that builds personal & collective wealth? Not a dream. The next frontier. History shows: radical becomes real when enough people commit.
