@cryptopunk7213 As @DavidDeutschOxf said, “You need the disobedient things to program the obedient things.”

the fear around AI is overblown something that makes me certain AI isn’t going to replace us is non-determinism: ai and robots are (for better or worse) deterministic creatures. no matter how “human” they appear - there’s always a binary(ish) outcome. humans are built different. you never know our next move or what we’re thinking. that gives us a sense of hope that theres a way (however small) that we can create the reality we desire and i think that’s fucking beautiful 🤷🏽

@MilkRoad I see prices divided lower than one cent every time i drive by a gas station

Why AI agents need crypto: "Last time I checked, you can't divide a dollar lower than one cent." Agents will make micropayments for tasks, pay other agents for compute and electricity. Dollar rails can't handle that. Crypto rails can.

@BrianRoemmele Just saw a sci-fi episode on Netflix about this storyline m.imdb.com/news/ni6499094…

The Buddharoid: Japan’s AI-powered robot monk trained in centuries of Buddhist scripture. So many are wittingly and unwittingly mocking humanity with little thought.

@cryptopunk7213 I think it’s the same as photoshop was for photos, we’ll just adopt the skepticism for video as well

one side-effect of ai videos being so good now is nothing is taken seriously anymore eg the jeff epstein anime subconsciously turns him into a fictional character you can make kanye sing in chinese, watch lebron get dunked on by a toddler or meme serious issues it ends up de-sensitising people to the original facts you can turn a serious figure into a clown and vice versa

@MarioNawfal AI slop

🇺🇸 MINNESOTA TOWN CAN'T AFFORD $10M WATER PLANT - WHILE EMPTY "DAYCARES" PULLED $110M IN FIRST DAY OF INVESTIGATION Mayor Mike Murphy of Lexington, Minnesota just said the quiet part loud: "If there wasn't so much fraud, waste and abuse, there would be money for us to build that water treatment facility for our residents." His town has 4,000 people. They need a $10 million water plant. Can't afford it. Forced to buy water from neighboring communities. Meanwhile, across Minnesota: "Quality Learing Center" (doors locked, zero kids): $4 million Future Leaders Early Learning (completely empty): $6.67 million Mako + Mini Child Care (no children observed): $4.6 million ABC Learning Center (windows blacked out): $3 million One citizen journalist found $110 million in fraud on day one. Federal prosecutors estimate the total scam at $9 billion minimum. Lexington needs $10 million for water infrastructure that would serve 4,000 Americans. Can't get it. Fake daycares with misspelled signs serving zero children? Billions available. That's the trade. American towns don't get clean water because the money's going to empty buildings billing the state for services never rendered. This isn't abstract anymore. This is a mayor standing in front of cameras saying "my residents can't have water infrastructure because fraud ate the budget." Tim Walz was governor during all of this. His administration approved the licenses. His agencies processed the payments. His oversight failed so completely that buildings with no children received millions annually for years. The fraud didn't just steal money. It stole infrastructure. It stole schools. It stole public services. Every dollar that went to fake daycares is a dollar that didn't go to water plants, roads, bridges, actual education. Lexington's mayor shouldn't have to explain why Americans deserve water before empty buildings get millions. But here we are. The equation's simple: $9 billion in fraud could build 900 water treatment plants. Minnesota has 853 cities. They could have upgraded infrastructure statewide with the money that disappeared into the scam. Instead, towns of 4,000 people are begging for $10 million while facilities serving nobody collect checks. That's not government inefficiency. That's systematic looting while essential services collapse. Source: Mayor Mike Murphy statement/Minnesota fraud investigation, @EricLDaugh

@swyx @aiDotEngineer Agreed!

This was complete slop and I'm tired of everybody pretending it was some genius work I'm in 🇧🇷 today soft launching my talk declaring War on Slop . hope to develop it fully in time for my @aidotengineer keynote

@mert How do we rebrand “NFTs”?

I still think the greatest thing crypto has accomplished is rebranding "betting" to "prediction markets" right up there with rebranding salt and rocks as "electrolytes"

@nikitabier So just be the best in the world at something…it’s that easy

If you want to get rich on X, it isn't going to be through creator revenue or meme coins. Instead, think about one subject matter that you know more about than anyone else in the world. It can be anything: plumbing, menswear, Indian food, furniture, social apps, whatever. Post one unexpected insight you picked from your experience in that area. Keep it under 5 sentences. Do this every day for 6 months. If you stick to it, we will promote your account to others. By the end, you will be recognized as the world's leading expert in that subject area and you can charge whatever you want for endorsements, your time, or whatever. And no one will be able to take that way from you.

Worried about AI deepfakes? Don’t be. We adapted to Photoshop and learned to question images. We’ll do the same with video—and blockchain tools will help verify what’s real.

@jackiehluo @twobitidiot Sounds like a good deal, a doctor using the best tools available and able to filter for you any hallucinations

@runwayml Congrats on the Gen-4 model. When is the next Gen:48 contest?

@iluminatibot Yes. They are competing with each other. First to discover a cure gets the whole trillion

Do you really believe that the trillion dollar cancer industry is researching for a way to put themselves out of business?

@condzxyz @NickPlaysCrypto @EthereumDenver The agent builders at the ETHDenver side events are full speed ahead

Despite the current mkt sentiment on CT I just wanna share that all AI agent events @EthereumDenver are packed and the energy is insanely positive. I went to around 7 side events in 2 days, also coffees, lunches and dinners all around with some of the biggest players in the space. Incredibly bullish to share with you all positive PnL next for @AcolytAI products. The vision is clear. Signal.

If Bitcoin hits $100k in the next 24 hours, we're following everyone who replies to this.

@beaniemaxi Wouldn’t shifting away from BTC mining to AI decrease hashrate and energy expenditure and lower the cost to produce Bitcoin?

The sudden shift in bitcoin mining capacity to serving AI cloud customers means the cost to produce bitcoin will rise. Data center demand has simply mooned. And when production cost of any other commodity goes up quickly, so does the price of the commodity. Bitcoin not different.
