i created this short film about space travel in honor of @SpaceX with @grok @imagine @ChatGPTapp @higgsfield_ai @Kling_ai on a small process of the journey and what the future could look like of life on mars. lots of credits were burned but this was fun to create..

@nikitabier hahahah omg 😂😂😂

Headed home now. Here’s a quick recap of my Japan trip.

@mardehaym interesting @mac_eth

None of this is satire. → A company spent $500,000,000 on Claude in one month because nobody set usage limits → Uber ran leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used, not what they shipped → Uber burned their entire 2026 budget by April. Their COO said he can’t connect any of it to consumer features → A CTO told Axios employees were using enterprise AI to check the weather → Microsoft canceled most Claude Code licenses because the token bill spiraled → Companies are now laying people off to pay the AI bill. Not because AI replaced the work. Because the bill replaced the headcount.

@AmazingSights @grok explain this

The middle duck paid attention in physics class, while the others played around in class...

@brian_armstrong no wonder why @chase bank keeps blocking crypto transaction on @coinbase

@phantom hey @phantom 🍆🎂

vibe check? (emojis only plz)

@elonmusk sickk!!!!!! i wonder when we will start seeing it roll out?

Cybercab driving itself out of the GigaTexas factory

@ClarksonsFarm1 ratio’d hard. should probably remove the horse emblem. what it is vs could’ve been

Safe to say the new Ferrari Luce has been poorly received, and rightly so…

@GazzettaFerrari i’m sorry purr-rari

Lewis and Charles revealed fully electric Ferrari Luce.

@Ferrari just released new model called luce. i reimagined it with @grok @imagine which would you pay $700k for?

@PaulSkallas Oh come on. But for $725k +?

Let me try to defend Ferrari here. Cars aren't cool anymore. Most people don’t dream about sports cars anymore. They want SUVs or trucks with comfort and safety. Ferrari was built for a world where cars were emotional objects. That's all gone. This car is the non-alcoholic beer of cars. And a lot of people have quit drinking alcohol.

@Lamborghini BREAKING NEWS: Lambo says “proud to keep you dreaming.” Fact. Ferrari says “proud to keep you sleeping.” Also fact.

Proud to keep you dreaming.

@kevincodex @0xJigen what’s the reason for test launching token? @kevincodex

@0xJigen will keep pushing no matter what. I came from the bottom of the bottom and now have more resource to keep building

Gm everyone Call me stupid if you want, but I haven’t even sold my initials on $gitlawb. That’s how strong my conviction is. I’m willing to roundtrip it or even lose the bag completely. People are trying to FUD $GITLAWB because of what happened yesterday, but honestly, it doesn’t even make sense. Every time people miss the train, they start spreading FUD. Let me tell you something: even if I had zero supply, I’d still be pushing this play the exact same way. People don’t understand that GITLAWB running to a $100M market cap is good for everyone. More eyes on the ecosystem. More volume flowing into other plays. Maybe I’ll regret it later, maybe I won’t. But for now, I’m still buying the dip. The vision hasn’t changed. @kevincodex is still cooking hard.

@elonmusk the phrase “securing long term future of consciousness” has so much depth and meaning behind it. if life on mars is secured, it could look something similar to this.

Mostly true. What matters is securing the long-term future of consciousness, both on Earth and other heavenly bodies. We cannot just focus on Earth, because there are irreducible external (eg massive meteor) and internal (eg global nuclear war) cataclysmic risks. The Moon is faster to make self-growing, but is more susceptible to problems on Earth. Mars will take longer to make self-growing, because it is so hard to reach, but is more secure from Earth disasters for that same reason. Both the Moon and Mars should have self-growing civilizations. Making this happen is the prime directive of SpaceX.

@XFreeze the luce looks like a kid drew up a mock of it

Ferrari just finally unveiled its first-ever EV, the "Luce" and it costs an insane $550,000+ for it. It's a 4-door, 5-seater... with a design that is a joke But when you actually look at the math, it's hilarious. Ferrari just spent 5 years of R&D to build a car that gets absolutely crushed by the Model S Plaid... a family sedan Tesla literally *just discontinued* because they’ve already moved on Here's the side-by-side specs comparison: Ferrari Luce (2027) • 0-62 mph: 2.5s • Top Speed: 193 mph • Range: ~330 miles (WLTP) • Price: ~$550,000 Tesla Model S Plaid (2026 - Retired) • 0-60 mph: 1.99s • Top Speed: 200 mph • Range: 359 miles (EPA) • Price: ~$89,990 Legacy auto is completely cooked. Ferrari is trying to sell a half-million-dollar "hypercar" that loses in pure physics to a discontinued Tesla family sedan lol

@Chewy @bulletproofkp interesting choice indeed of ad picture 😂 this could’ve been a regular post instead lol

@bulletproofkp Of course! 💙 In the meantime, if you see a similar ad again, you can tap the three dots in the top right corner of the ad and select “I’m not interested” to help better tailor your feed.

Just curious @Chewy twice now I’ve gotten ads on my instagram feed from your blue check verified instagram page and it’s of a quarter with maggots on it I’m so confused Is AI running your instagram ad campaigns and simultaneously ruining them?

@nikitabier gorgeous! looks a bit chilly

Good morning Tokyo

@defidude @0xDeployer @ratspeakorg awesome. love the transparency.

@toastedkepler @0xDeployer @ratspeakorg Still exploring. Our focus will always be product and the overall mission - unstoppable and accessible private communications. We will not shoehorn a token into something where it doesn't make sense, but there is definitely things I could see it being useful for in the future.

gm @0xDeployer I was told you can help me claim the pending fees for @ratspeakorg while Bankr is down? The rats need better tools and hardware. 🐀 0xf1e9baa65d418a9025e1851dd2d37f1ad208bba3

@mac_eth @mykcryptodev @iruletrenches @AskSurplus @AskVenice great ideas @mac_eth i like how agile your thinking is. but i agree with myk that is is perhaps way to early for dao

thoughts on the thread so far: first, disclaimers: $0 revenue right now. This is off the cuff brainstorming, nothing binding at all. My mind may change completely by the time we implement anything related. 1. I'm open to buybacks from revenue, but; a) I'm planning to keep revenue low for a while / make just enough to cover costs. This might be fine though, since in past projects just having a fee switch and the speculation/understanding that it could in the future be turned on was enough for token to track project performance metrics like marketplace volume, ... . b) if a company with equity forms it might get complex. But it's probably doable / I'm pretty sure there's some crypto projects with tokens and also equity that are doing token buybacks. 2. kinda against staking. Venice used staking in an interesting way. But their staking model depends on minting, and since this is a bankr community coin that's off the table for us unless we do some messy token migration. 3. subsidized compute for holders/stakers: > reserve cheapest inference for stakers against. Gets messy (how much do we reserve? what do we consider cheap?), and those choices could have unexpected effects on market equilibrium prices that make the product worse overall. > free or discounted inference against. Again it could change market dynamics/equilibrium price in unexpected ways. And ultimately someone has to pay. fwiw, the marketplace already supports creating listings at $0 - so sellers have the option to give inference away for free if they want to. Also, if any other providers offer free inference, it would be easy to cross list it on Surplus as free, too: they'd just create an offer that's a proxy for the free inference from another platform. This is the beauty of being an open marketplace. If the inference is free anywhere, it can be brought to this market and given for free, too. > Treasury buy DIEM for free inference DIEM is kind of expensive right now for this kind of use case. The DIEM that could be bought by treasury wouldn't go far with our number of holders. imo treasury funds will get higher ROI if spent on hiring as needed. > buy compute to give OSS models for free. I feel like there's already platforms that give OSS for free or very cheap. I'd rather just integrate those; add them as providers and let sellers offer this on their own if they want to. > Community token as payment This is a direction I've been thinking about a little. Like, there's a lot of people who are massively up now. Maybe they'd be interested in paying for their compute with the token appreciation. And maybe there's some sellers who want more tokens and have inference but don't have much capital... Still though it'd be a lift to implement and simplest thing is just for holders to sell a little to pay USDC to sellers, then sellers buy the token if they want to. 4. governance rights. I'm a big fan of DAOs and would like to use the token to decentralize some of the decision making. It's just a question of: governing what? I was thinking that the fees could be treated as a treasury for token holder, and any use of them would need to be approved by a vote. just an idea rn. I think it would be cool but also it's obviously be a big loss to me to donate the fees to a community treasury, and adds bureaucracy like if I need to make a proposal to the DAO to be paid from fees ... Or slows things down; like if we would have required a vote for setting up the project twitter ... . Also governance tokens historically have gotten low 'voter turnout'. Might start with something like seeding the treasury with a meaningful fraction (~20% or so) of the fees so far, then adding more later if it goes well. 5. rewards for buyer vs seller. Open to this. So far we're growing a organically. But I'm also considering using token fees as incentives to attract buyers or sellers depending on which one we need. This would be a bit later on like if there's a persistant imbalance. Right now I'm rapidly pivoting between the two sides based on partnerships, ... . Again, nothing binding. I'm tracking lots of convos changing my mind all the time. These thoughts are just where my head is at in this moment.

I think @AskSurplus has the potential to pull an @AskVenice move over a longer time horizon. No one owns enough $surplus, i strongly accumulating a surplus of this coin, head into a coma and wake up 6-12 months later to 8fig profits.

@cb_doge soon @cb_doge
