It’s my 2 year anniversary since joining the @Overlord_xyz project.

What a crazy ride it’s been. I’ve always believed in investing in founders. Can’t wait to see where you take us in 2024 @dom3xyz @jo3car 🎂🎉🥳.

The wealthiest people in the world (updated)

[Frank Brown @FrankBr05713205]

I teach auto shop at a small high school. We work on students cars, teachers cars, students parents cars and some community people cars. We only charge for parts and not labor, so we saved some people a lot of money last school year. This last school year we did 126 oil changes, 68 brake jobs, 85 alignments, 4 steering racks, 22 tune ups, 32 struts, 20 shock absorbers, 4 transfer cases, mounted and balanced 82 new tires, 4 timing chains, 15 valve cover gaskets, 14 thermostats, 4 radiators, 12 in tank fuel pumps, 8 EVAP canisters, 6 exhaust manifolds, 4 mufflers, 15 AC repairs including evacuate and recharge, 8 alternators, 22 batteries, 9 starters and so much more! Proud of those students I am!

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

Watch my full interview on @SquawkCNBC from this morning:

[runn3rr.eth @runn3rrr]

During the Biden term we had:

- nft bull in 2021
- Shiba and Doge parabolic runs
- Pepe and eth meme szn in 2023
- Bonk wave on Solana in 2023
- Memes super cycle in 2024
- Bad actors going to jail
- Degen led Base szn in 2024
- AI agents szns on Base and Solana in 2024

During the current Trump term we got:
- mass extraction by president, his family and friends
- denominated USD, so btc/eth in fact never made ATH
- bad actors go OUT of jail and new ones never go there (why is Hayden Adams still free????)
- tariffs dump
- war dump
- 6mo in a row of straight dumps
- alts down 99.9%
- memes dead
- defi dead
- nfts dead

So who is the crypto president you say?

If your quant who has been bullish on BTC from $126k to $60k is dunking on people because of this candle, then you need to find a new quant.

Bitcoin has *always* rallied in the first week of March in midterm years.

[pourteaux ⋆ ˚｡⋆ @pourteaux]

i was told if i voted for Harris, bitcoin would crash, we’d be in another war in the middle east, groceries would be expensive, the DoJ would be politicized, and the government would protect Epstein pedos.

they were right- i voted for harris and now we have all these things.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
