🔥 CZ: BITCOIN SHOULD FREEZE SATOSHI'S COINS IF THEY DON'T MOVE WITHIN A YEAR

CZ suggests the Bitcoin community should give Satoshi a 12-month window to move his coins before a quantum upgrade, and freeze them permanently if they don't move.

"On the new protocol, there will be like only 20 million coins because we're just going to lock them."

He warned that doing nothing means "we're basically giving to somebody who's going to hack it" once quantum computing catches up.

There are a few things that I look back on as my mistakes in the early days.

Quake was overly ambitious technically. We could have done all the great multiplayer and modding work inside a Doom++ engine, allowing the designers to work with a more stable base instead of rug-pulling everything out from underneath them a couple times. The follow up game could have then brought in full 6DOF environments and characters.

I pushed everyone too hard. I didn’t appreciate how maturing companies need more slack, and that running people at startup intensity constantly will wear them out. Quake was also where I really had to accept my personal limits. I was working pretty much as hard as humanly possible, and I was still slipping past my goal points.

On all of the founders’ shoulders, our original corporate stock arrangement and buy/sell agreement was a mistake, and resulted in bad incentives. We wanted to ensure that all ownership rested in the hands of people working hard on current projects, but the Silicon Valley standard approach of vesting stock would have worked out better.

One real problem that I don’t accept the blame for is that we were insisting that level designers be not just game designers, but also have strong visual design esthetics. They needed to make things that not only played well, but looked awesome, and it got more challenging as the technology provided a richer palette. Romero covered that well, which set our company expectations early on.

We should have figured out how to pair up artists and designers earlier, but there was infighting among the designers, and the ones that could manage the visuals were happy to disparage the ones that couldn’t.

Sorry, Sandy.

I’m proud of Quake. We all are. Quake changed games forever. That said...

Unless @Apple's decision to terminate @craigraw's Apple Developer account is reversed by June 30, all new installs of Sparrow will fail, and development on macOS will end. If you value Sparrow, a repost would help. @AppleSupport

Today, we’re sunsetting JPEG.

What started as a simple idea became an incredible learning experience. Over the past months, hundreds of you joined the beta, shared feedback, tested new features, and helped shape the product.

While we’re proud of what we built, we’ve decided not to continue operating JPEG in its current form/ product.

Building consumer products is never a straight line. Sometimes the right decision is not to push forward, but to step back and take the lessons learned into whatever comes next.

To everyone who supported us, tested the app, and believed in the vision: thank you. We couldn’t have done it without you.

The app will be winding down, effective immediately. We will be pivoting and exploring new form factors/ products.

❤️

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

ITS HAPPENING

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

The shockwaves are so powerful, that it looks like reality is being ripped apart.

For comparison, this rocket carries approximately the same amount of potential energy as the Hiroshima nuclear bomb.

I love this stuff.
