You're playing a game of chess. While you're playing someone delivers a scathing but intentionally misleading critique of your opponent's play. Whose side is this bystander on? It feels foolish to even ask, they're helping your opponent. Yet, in politics we fall for it.

@0xSrMessi @Treggs6 well the weak hands got bought out when push came to shove

Congratulations to the Superclaw team! First project in the Ownership ecosystem to survive a liquidation proposal. As @Treggs6 said on the last Ownership Radio show: Surprisingly, a liquidation offer can actually be used in some kind of marketing strategy if you survive it.

@cusandara just ico the state on metadao. give some tokens to each citizen (maybe even ubi lol). forget democracy.

Combine state-directed capitalism with public capital ownership through co-ops and SWFs, as well as prediction market as institutionalized public reality check and govt power check and balance; and you got an almost perfect post-AGI political economic structure.

A Solana program lets anyone deposit any SPL token and receive YES/NO token pairs for a given question. The question is independently deployed on Amoveo, which resolves it. An on-chain Amoveo light client on Solana is kept in sync by a relayer, and once resolved a proof submitter brings the result over via a Verkle proof. Solana verifies it and settles the market — winners redeem 1:1 for their collateral, losers get zero.

@GoodWillGamed An ethereum contract could keep track of the highest amoveo header. Then you can do amoveo verkle proofs to show the result from the amoveo oracle to the ethereum blockchain. If there is a long enough fork, the committee override chooses a side to follow.

HOW TO ACTUALLY DECENTRALIZE POLYMARKET Polymarket is not decentralized. UMA is not decentralized. They are both committees with admin keys and a decentralization theater. The fix: futarchy. Anyone can submit a binary question by burning the DAO token. Anyone can propose batched resolutions. Futarchy is expected to pick the most accurate proposal. The value of facts the system can reliably resolve scales with market cap. By default, all question tokens automatically generate a resting sell order at 0.999. Specialists fill them permissionlessly, creating instant payouts.

@karpathy duh

- Drafted a blog post - Used an LLM to meticulously improve the argument over 4 hours. - Wow, feeling great, it’s so convincing! - Fun idea let’s ask it to argue the opposite. - LLM demolishes the entire argument and convinces me that the opposite is in fact true. - lol The LLMs may elicit an opinion when asked but are extremely competent in arguing almost any direction. This is actually super useful as a tool for forming your own opinions, just make sure to ask different directions and be careful with the sycophancy.

@zack_bitcoin How do you send the truth to another chain?

@GoodWillGamed More or less. Amoveos oracle mechanism can potentially cause the blockchain to fork. If ethereum was tracking amoveo, it wouldn't know which side of the fork to follow. So, you need some kind of committee to handle this rare edge case.

@zack_bitcoin Can send results to another blockchain?

@GoodWillGamed Amoveo has a decentralized oracle for resolving markets. Copy our design, or use amoveo.

A 22 year old bought two houses with video game money and accidentally broke the Philippine economy. > The game was Axie Infinity. > Players battled cartoon monsters to earn a token called SLP. > At peak, SLP was worth $0.34. > Regular players were earning $155–$195 a month > More than half a full-time salary. > The best managers running teams of players were clearing $20,000 a month from a phone. > 2.7 million people were playing daily. > Half of them in the Philippines. > People quit their jobs and pulled their kids out of school. > Families were living entirely off SLP. > The 22 year old posted a selfie outside his two new houses on Facebook and the government saw it. > They immediately declared in-game earnings taxable income. > Players were ordered to register as taxpayers and report their winnings. > Then SLP crashed 99% in six months. > The government was drafting tax legislation for an economy that had already ceased to exist. > Families had nothing to go back to. A video game built a taxable economy of millions, triggered a national tax crisis, and collapsed before the government collected a single peso.

Things that are overrated when it comes to dating: - Having "game" - The gym - Spitting "clever" lines - Using the perfect "opener" - Caring about what fragrance you use - How well you fuck - Height Thins that are underrated when it comes to dating: - Being considered rich by the girls you wanna fuck - Being at the right spot at the right time - Being an alcoholic - Being funny and fun to be around - Being out frequently - Being popular - Going out a lot in the right places - Having hot ex's - Being retarded

Reality pill: 1) Everyone wants a hot blonde with blue eyes, doesn’t matter what race the man is. It’s the peak trophy. 2) If they can’t acquire this, they go for brunettes or East Asian women. 3) When neither white nor East Asian women give them the time of day they go South American and fixate over voluptuousness even though at every man’s core they want a slim and tall fair skinned girl with a symmetrically sound face card. 4) If they’re really cooked, they then double down on curves and “thickness” which brings black women into the equation. 5) And when black women want nothing to do with you in North America… You become a passport bro, where it’s totally transactional and not based on attraction whatsoever because your going to such a low socio-economic environment where the girls are grateful to be bought a 99 cents hotdog from the local vendor so you can pretend to be an alpha male and make up for lost time like loser overseas. 6) That doesn’t work?… You call yourself “MGTOW” to cope with the fact that ‘you’re choosing’ to be voluntarily celibate when women don’t give a fuck about you ‘going your own way.’ 7) You recognize that you’re an incel and take the blackpill. These are generalities but this is the reality of the game, don’t shoot the messenger.

They really took a depressed 25 year old and sold her for parts. I hope she’s at peace, but this is horrible.

my therapist told me that as an autistic person, i tend to intellectualise my feelings rather than express them; and that my obsession with rationalising emotions, both mine and others', stems from a need to survive situations rather than fully experiencing them.

@edwest After a decade in the public sector I still find this one of the most replicable observations ever made.

Finland consistently ranks as one of the happiest countries in the world I call bullshit Look, I've been to 60+ countries. Some of them quite rough around the edges And I have never seen as many frowny faces per square meter as in Helsinki Genuinely, deeply, almost proudly sad faces Here's what those happiness surveys actually measure: ✅ Low corruption ✅ Functioning institutions ✅ Physical safety ✅ Trust in government But man, that's not happiness. It just the absence of certain problems There's a difference between a life with no obvious disasters and a life that feels worth living I've sat in cramped buses in "poor" countries and watched people laugh until they cried over nothing I've shared meals with families who had almost nothing and felt more warmth in one hour than in a week walking around a Nordic capital The Finns have a word (sisu) that gets romanticized as grit and resilience It also describes a population that learned to endure rather than enjoy Finland has excellent infrastructure and the facial expressions of a country waiting for a delayed flight
