Next, you're gonna tell me that that anti spyware pop-up that I let install itself on my computer is secretly spyware.

To be fair, chokepoint was not imagined, authorities openly made a decision to do "regulation by engagement" a completely reasonable way to deal with an industry full of rapidly morphing shit.

The key insight Nic had was that the government openly doing their job was actually a conspiracy

Cool now billionaires can now hand select candidates

Thank, um Peter Thiel? Idk thank the deity that created the Polymarket for is Jesus coming back

You could save money on editing by just having people predict what the next article is gonna be and then you know let the market decide

lol of course such an interaction happened. I'm also imagining he tried to mog you with some really amazing and esoteric philosophical words

Paul might try to create a censorship resistant one. Could be interesting

Yeah, he doesn't strike me as a big into David Graeber. I think he just gets something out of separating himself from said 40W crypto chuds

Turns out "markets exist at the pleasure of the government" didn't go over too well on crypto twitter. He turned off replies.

Freedom is Slavery

Ignorance is Strength

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

This rules.

The left needs to step up its signaling game and make it clear that we will do more than just do this whole smug "we told you he was going to do this OMG I'm just so exasperated" thing. This is genuine blood of patriots and tyrants territory.

I just did not have this White House doing PSYOP in my bingo card

AI haters gonna hate, but this is a thing

Not in foreseeable future. There are many miners would get low cost (sometimes negative cost for short periods) energy and they have already paid for ASICs. They may be losing money long term in interest on the equipment, but by that time difficulty will adjust way downward

Yes and because some miners have near zero marginal cost, they will continue to produce blocks. Difficulty will adjust to the pace at which they are producing blocks.

So only the profitable folks continue to mine, and it keeps going.

Guys. The difficulty adjusts automatically. That how the thing works.

Sorry to be that guy but you do all know that the difficulty adjusts automatically, right?

What the jestermaxxers don't know is that there is only a supremum

Predicting now that a certain segment of Bluesky is going to predictably lose their minds over the fact that prediction markets are going to be useful , and try to gaslight like they deny that LLMs are use useful tools.

Of course prediction markets will be tools of some horrible people.

The problem remains that the media more or less has to give their audience what their audience wants. And you're lying if you haven't thought about 2028 and who might the viable candidates be and the only place to really check that against reality is Polymarket.

Watching crypto, AI, etc develop over the last decade according to the perversions of neoliberalism the whole thing feels prescient - like how about the story when they reinvented the phone call because iooksmaxing AI avatars lacked authenticity?

So much easier for billionaires to select their candidates before the primary stage by getting the media to cover the "clearly the consensus front runner"

I hope there's a picture. There's gotta be a picture

Funny, I saw a couple weeks ago somebody apologizing for having read it and saying that well actually it was pretty good

I read it and really enjoyed it.

Substack haters weren't wrong

This is a really weird take
