Ugh, what happened to Resolve USR?? How's Morpho Vault doing?? Unlimited minting is back... Every time I log into CT, some DeFi-related mess happens...🤦 Someone minted 50 million USR with just 100,000 USR.

The downhill season is over. The spring powder snow season in Rusutsu has ended. GM

Most AI "productivity" is just a facade if you're only automating tedious tasks to escape the existential crisis of making bad problem choices. AI doesn't solve bad problems; it just makes mindless optimization more efficient.

For most white-collar workers, "fluency in artificial intelligence" is a huge cognitive gap... I once spent a long time explaining to a colleague why we should encapsulate a command-line interface (CLI) instead of having Claw write code in a session, but for someone without any programming/engineering background, it was simply incomprehensible and impossible to "guide." However, merely having programming skills without understanding business logic is not enough; therefore, true mastery of artificial intelligence is what truly demonstrates a person's comprehensive capabilities for the future.

The digital iron curtain has caused technological diffusion to regress while accelerating: in China, VPNs are needed to access the open internet/US LLM; in Taiwan, VPNs are needed to access Rednote (a Chinese internet browser); Chinese LLM is blocked in the US… When every technology becomes “autonomous,” permissionless, ultra-autonomous networks become crucial. No government can block anything it cannot control.

Let's give @0xtony0x a Brad Pitt! We need more handsome guys to manage dd (a Chinese online community), as long as they're both handsome and nerdy.

US Artificial Intelligence: Super Bowl Ads, Trillion-Dollar IPOs, Private Companies vs. Department of Defense Chinese Artificial Intelligence: Grandmas/Students Queue for Two Hours at Tencent Headquarters Just to Install OpenClaw for Free… The sheer speed at which Chinese tech companies are popularizing their technology is astonishing (it reminds me of digital payments and on-demand services). And after installation, they even give you a “birth certificate”…

Before the emergence of autonomous workforces: a company's culture and quality were determined by its initial 25 employees. After the emergence of autonomous workforces: a company's culture and quality are determined by its initial 2 employees. The formation of great companies and their capital will be concentrated in companies with 2-5 employees.

General Motors, humanity lost but not hopeless. Today I visited a ski museum and discovered that even the birds there have evolved built-in snow boots, with feathers extending all the way to their toes. Nature spent millions of years training to create this hardware. Humans, however, merely use tools to crack it, seizing opportunities in an endless game of growth, surpassing evolution. But what use are new inventions after standing at the top of the food chain for millennia? Few stop to consider what "meaningful growth" is, why everyone is striving so desperately for "growth," and why this game, whether at the individual or national level, is such a zero-sum game, even a losing proposition. We are victims of our own success: the more "efficient" we are, the lower our fertility; the more "effective" we are, the lonelier we become.

We spent years pleading with institutional investors to accept cryptocurrencies and we finally got our wish! Cryptocurrencies are now the go-to safe-haven short-selling tool for traders over the weekend, a market structure development that is perhaps both beneficial and frustrating. 🤷
