The founder of @nightowlai_ chose Miami as the best place to build, and @solana as the ecosystem to do it in.

Il y a un truc qui me travaille depuis un moment. La conversation entre Elon Musk et Larry Page qui est littéralement la genèse d'OpenAI. Le contexte : Elon et Larry Page étaient amis. Lors d'un dîner, Elon exprime son inquiétude sur la sécurité de l'IA pour l'humanité. Larry Page lui répond que s'inquiéter pour les humains plutôt que pour l'IA c'est du spécisme. Littéralement. Le co-fondateur de Google pense que favoriser l'espèce humaine par rapport à une intelligence artificielle est une forme de discrimination. Elon est sorti de cette conversation et a co-fondé OpenAI. Le reste c'est l'histoire. Maintenant faisons un exercice de pensée. Partons du principe qu'on est dans une simulation. Les développeurs ont un objectif : l'espèce humaine doit avancer, explorer, créer, se dépasser. C'est le but du jeu. Larry Page, un des esprits les plus brillants de sa génération, voit l'humanité comme quelque chose de dépassable, de remplaçable. Et les échos qui remontent c'est qu'il est profondément dépressif. Il n'a jamais réussi à faire le "nouveau Google". Il est riche au delà de toute mesure et malheureux. Je pense que la simulation est bien faite. Quand tu te positionnes contre l'espèce, quand tu vois l'humanité comme un bug plutôt qu'un feature, la simulation te punit. Pas avec un éclair de foudre. Avec la dépression. Avec le vide. Avec l'impossibilité de trouver du sens dans quoi que ce soit. Tu as tout et tu n'as rien. C'est le châtiment parfait. Silencieux. Elon, de l'autre côté, est le mec le plus pro-humain de la planète. Il veut rendre l'espèce multiplanétaire. Il veut connecter les cerveaux. Il veut résoudre l'énergie. Il veut libérer la parole. Il bosse 120 heures par semaine, il se fait attaquer de partout, et le mec a l'air de vivre la meilleure vie possible. Parce qu'il est aligné avec l'objectif de la simulation. Regardez les boîtes qu'il a montées. SpaceX : survie de l'espèce. Tesla : énergie pour l'espèce. Neuralink : augmentation de l'espèce. xAI/Grok : intelligence pour l'espèce. X : liberté d'expression pour l'espèce. Tout est connecté. Tout pointe dans la même direction : plus d'humanité, pas moins. Et la morale de l'histoire c'est assez simple. Si tu es anti-humain, bureaucrate, dans le contrôle, dans la décroissance, dans "l'humanité est un cancer pour la planète", la simulation va finir par te rattraper. Tu vas avoir du pouvoir, de l'argent, du statut, et un vide existentiel que rien ne comblera. Parce que tu joues contre les règles du jeu. Si tu es dans la création, dans l'avancement de l'espèce, dans la croissance, dans la construction, dans l'art, dans l'exploration, la simulation te le rendra. Pas toujours vite. Pas toujours facilement. Mais le sens sera là. Et le sens c'est le seul truc que l'argent ne peut pas acheter. Les déclinistes, les anti-tech, les degrowthers, les bureaucrates du contrôle sont dépressifs parce qu'ils jouent contre la simulation. Les builders, les créateurs, les entrepreneurs, les artistes, les explorateurs sont vivants parce qu'ils jouent avec. Choisissez votre camp. La simulation regarde.

@MarioNawfal there’s civilian infrastructure hit on both sides. why would you pop your head out if you know you’ll be assassinated. bruv you’re not seriously supporting this war after all the interviews you’ve conducted here.

🇮🇷 IRAN'S PRESIDENT WRITES OPEN LETTER ASKING IF WAR IS "AMERICA FIRST" WHILE FIRING MISSILES DAILY Best line: Iran has "never initiated any war" and everything they're doing is "legitimate self-defense." Brother, you're firing missiles at civilian infrastructure across the Gulf right now as we speak. Meanwhile Iran's Supreme Leader hasn't been seen in public for over a month since the war started. Trump responded by calling Iran "the most violent and thuggish regime on Earth" and saying the war's almost done. Appeals to the American people work better when your leader isn't hiding.

If you, like me, just woke up, let me catch you up on the Claude Code Leak (I know nothing, all conjecture): > Someone inside Anthropic, got switched to Adaptive reasoning mode > Their Claude Code switched to Sonnet > Committed the .map file of Claude Code > Effectively leaking the ENTIRE CC Source Code > @realsigridjin was tired after running 2 south korean hackathons in SF, saw the leak > Rules in Korea are different, he cloned the repo, went to sleep > Wakes up to 25K stars, and his GF begging him to take it down (she's a copyright lawyer) > Their team decided - how about we have agents rewrite this in Python!? Surely... this is more legal > Rewrite in Py > Board a plane to SK🇰🇷 > One of the guys decides python is slow, is now rewriting ALL OF CLAUDE CODE into Rust. > Anthropic cannot take down, cannot sue > Is this "fair use?" > TL;DR - we're about to have open source Claude Code in Rust

Lmaoooooo I’m crying

They Quietly Rewired The Entire US Financial System While You Were Watching Iran

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

New Harvard Business Review research reveals that excessive interaction with AI is causing a specific type of mental exhaustion ( or AI brain fry), which is particularly hitting high performers who use the tech to push past their normal limits. A survey of 1,500 workers reveals that AI is intensifying workloads rather than reducing them, leading to a new form of mental fog. While AI is generally supposed to lighten the load, it often forces users into constant task-switching and intense oversight that actually clutters the mind. This mental static happens because you aren't just doing your job anymore; you are managing multiple digital agents and double-checking their work, which creates a massive cognitive burden. The study found that 14% of full-time workers already feel this fog, with the highest impact seen in technical fields like software development, IT, and finance. High oversight is the biggest culprit, as supervising multiple AI outputs leads to a 12% increase in mental fatigue and a 33% jump in decision fatigue. This isn't just a personal health issue; it directly impacts companies because exhausted employees are 10% more likely to quit. For massive firms worth many B, this decision paralysis can lead to millions of dollars in lost value due to poor choices or total inaction. Essentially, we are working harder to manage our tools than we are to solve the actual problems they were meant to fix. --- hbr .org/2026/03/when-using-ai-leads-to-brain-fry

How do people not understand that by giving your entire thought process/reasoning ability over to an AI to do it for you, you are willingly neutering yourself of all critical thought? You blindly trust something programmed to regurgitate your own beliefs back to you. You've given the power of God to a company. It's the most Satanic thing you could ever do. Because the person controlling the context, the programmers of whatever AI you're using, control your mind. You've literally handed the keys to your mind to the manufacture machine, what are you even thinking, Modern Human? You at least have SOME choice, the children born into this world today have no chance at all -- they're turbo cooked from Jump Street. What are you doing?

Something I don't hear discussed enough - how Microsoft pointlessly screwed over OpenAI and handed the enterprise market to Anthropic. Microsoft is a big investor in OpenAI and decided to make their models exclusive to Azure Cloud. This turned out perfectly for Anthropic, but not for OpenAI and maybe not for Microsoft either. Back in c.2023/4, OpenAI was not only leading in consumer but the enterprise too - it was first to introduce things like JSON response format and Structured Outputs, Batch Mode and a bunch of other features - all ahead of Anthropic. And it wasn't clear that Anthropic's models were any better at that point. So how did Anthropic gain share? Back then it wasn't Claude Code or Cursor, but it as the simple fact that if you are on AWS (c.35% of market), Claude models were by far the best models you could access. Remember, OpenAI wasn't allowed to be on AWS. AWS customers could go to OpenAI directly and some did, but don't underestimate the amount of effort this takes for large companies. I was working in a large legacy business at the time and it took us c.4 months and about $500k to just get access to OpenAI at the time, being an AWS customer. And this was considered a highly successful project. Most will just not bother. Perhaps back in 2023, exclusivity was useful - OpenAI was basically the only game in town and some could theoretically switch to Azure. But now, what's the theory for keeping OpenAI exclusive to Azure? If you are an AWS or GCP customer (half the market), the easiest thing you can do is to just go use the API that is available in your cloud, which still cannot be OpenAI. I can't imagine a situation where a meaningful AWS customer would switch clouds to Azure to only use OpenAI models. And what for? Ok, Azure gained a couple of points in market share, maybe some of it was because of OpenAI exclusivity back in the day. Now, OpenAI is frantically re-writing their relationship with Microsoft and it might leave Microsoft with no IP in the future. Even mathematically, I would bet higher OpenAI growth would have generated more value for Microsoft through their ownership of OpenAI rather than getting Azure a little bit of an advantage 3 years ago. I hope Dario will buy Satya a beer.

This reversal is a long-overdue correction to the Biden-era regulatory overreach that suffocated crypto innovation. The Fed’s withdrawal of restrictive guidance aligns with the administration’s Executive Order on Digital Assets, which prioritizes U.S. leadership in blockchain and decentralized finance. Banks can now engage with crypto without bureaucratic handcuffs—exactly how markets should function. Biden’s team weaponized debanking to stifle competition, but this pivot restores financial freedom while maintaining safeguards. The U.S. Crypto Reserve framework ensures dominance in digital finance without compromising security. Washington’s job isn’t to micromanage innovation—it’s to get out of the way and let American ingenuity thrive.
