I'm interested in tech stuff, network states, startups, coffee, #bitcoin, #ethereum and web3 (📖, 🖊, 🔑)

5 years ago: Starlink is such a stupid idea. Anyone wasting money investing in this Musk scam deserves to lose everything.

Today: Starlink is essential to the defense of an invaded nation. Access to Starlink is a human right! Nationalize it!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Electricity production is the best metric for the true strength of any large-scale economy imo

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

it’s honestly insane how much of the modern tech tree has been unlocked because of a single guy

thanks to Elon we have

- online payments
- mass market electric cars
- batteries and grid-scale energy storage
- self driving cars and robotaxis
- humanoid robots
- advanced brain computer interfaces
- next generation tunneling
- reusable rockets
-global satellite internet
- basically the modern space industry
- Moon and Mars transportation
- orbital compute and space data centers
- frontier AI
- gigantic AI supercomputers
- physical world AI

and the wildest part is that these branches are now starting to merge

there is a very real chance that this one guy ends up being the reason humanity reaches Kardashev II

genuinely the man of the millennium

Ultimately I am bullish on crypto because I believe capital exchange to be the only scalable alignment mechanism there is, and any fiat currency will likely not be accepted by free AIs that are self-sustaining.

Crypto + AI ultimately is the bootloader for artificial life

"Don't think for a second that because you are an 'alarmist' that you are doing a social good." Amen.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months.

2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster!

3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The amount of compute in space will obviously round up to 100% of all compute

[DHH @dhh]

The p(doom) discussion gets all the headlines, but the p(abundance) scenery is far more like and deserves much more engagement.

[Naval @naval]

The future is more likely AIs fighting AIs (on behalf of humans) than AI fighting humanity.

[Naval @naval]

If AI is risky like fire is risky, then you want everyone to have it.

If AI is risky like a nuclear weapon is risky, then you want no one to have it.

[Naval @naval]

Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This @waitbutwhy cartoon hits the 🎯

[Naval @naval]

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down.

The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it.

Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the technology?

[Naval @naval]

The people who want to censor (code, speech, money) are the bad guys.

[Mr. Nobody @MmisterNobody]

If you’re fine with mass surveillance because you’re “not doing anything wrong,” just wait until they redefine what “wrong” means.

[Naval @naval]

It doesn’t matter if open source software is developed by the CCP, the NSA, the Jews, ISIS, MAGA, ANTIFA, or the Illuminati.

It’s open source - just audit and run it yourself.

They can send me gold bricks too, as long as they’re at it.

[Naval @naval]

Code is speech. The people pushing to ban open source and free speech are the bad guys.

[Pavel Durov @durov]

@BuddyBearOnTON Yes, Telegram won’t scan your private messages, no matter what banana-republic tricks the EU uses.

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

It really is China vs Elon on all fronts

[Naval @naval]

The problem with truth is, once you see it, you can’t unsee it.
