One other thing: almost always, when I ask it to go do some background work, it always fails to report back afterwards. Things like: “update yourself”, it always fails back to report its status or result when it restarted its gateway. Would be cool if it could “pick back up the convo” after doing things like that. Thanks for your work! 🙏

gpt-5.4 was basically unusable for me in @openclaw. it would explain what needs to be done, I’d say “ok do it,” and then… nothing. no action, no feedback, sometimes it would just go silent or say it’s “working” with zero visibility. felt like babysitting an intern that never actually touched the keyboard switched to @NousResearch Hermes agent and it’s night and day. same model, but now it actually executes. on par with opus-4.6 for me no idea why the gap is that big but yeah, huge relief after losing Claude OAuth in openclaw

@kaizenbuild @openclaw definitely. I think it’s pretty clear now you can’t just swap models and expect everything to behave the same my whole claw setup was built around opus, then I switched to gpt-5.4. so yeah, I’m guessing a lot of the issues came from that mismatch in how the system was wired up

Theo Von goes off on a fiery rant about politicians, endless wars, and moral decay: “It’s all just a cat and mouse game.” “People are like, ‘we’ll elect the Democrats next time.’ But it’s all the same sh*t has been happening forever.” “They haven’t been helping anybody forever.” “They’re letting f*cking politicians slurp on kids!” “All of our f*cking money goes to Israel and they’re using it to f*cking genocide people!” “It’s like, everybody is scared out of their wits right now. It’s like, our religious leaders are afraid to speak out.” “It’s like it’s a time where it’s like satan is amongst us and our religious leaders are talking about bullsh*t at the polls!”

A quantum computer just "broke" Bitcoin. Except it didn't. Not even close. Google Quantum AI published a paper showing they've cut the theoretical ECDSA attack down to 1,200 logical qubits. They didn't publish the circuits. They didn't run the attack. They published a zero-knowledge proof that their math works, then cited national security. Here's where we actually are. Entangled logical qubits achieved so far: 96 Coherence time: 1-2 seconds Time the attack requires: days Physical qubits needed: 500,000 Largest quantum computer today: 1,200 noisy, non-error-corrected qubits That's a 100,000x coherence gap. It's not a software problem. It's a fundamental engineering problem that nobody has solved. But here's what most people miss. Bitcoin developers aren't waiting for a crisis. They're already shipping. SHRIMPS: post-quantum signatures 3x smaller than NIST standards, built for Bitcoin's block space constraints. BIP-360: a quantum-resistant output type already live on testnet, with BTQ Technologies running transactions through it. The full upgrade could take 7 years. That's why the work started now. The protocol will be ready before the computers are.

It is unclear to me whether people in business and software are simply having a TOTALLY different experience than those in the hard sciences of theoretical physics/pure mathematics. I can’t easily compare it to a human theorist or mathematican. It’s like if a partially duplicitous but friendly John von Neumann was your graduate student while secretly also taking other, at times conflicting orders through an undisclosed earpiece, coked out of his mind after an epic triple ayahuascachino, and struggling through amnesia and a concussion, with alternating desires to genuinely help, please, and sabotage you, was providing you with insight and word salad in a 4:1 ratio at a rate you couldn’t keep up with on your best day while taking forever to say “I guess I didn’t understand the problem” or “I’m sorry Dave but I’m afraid I can’t do that” while quietly throwing away hours’ worth of work to make room for whatever you needed to do *right now* and instantly admitting to such behavior when caught. I mean, it’s absolutely amazing. But it is also a completely pathological menace. One user’s experience anyway.

I'm seeing crypto folk falling into the trough of dispair after an abysmal bull market with mainly losers and BTC outperforming their "beta". Let me tell you a story that tells you why you got screwed. It starts with the end of FTX. When the bankruptcy folk came in to liquidate FTX assets their mandate was to sell everything. This included vast quantities of locked SOL. They inadvertently invented something new, selling an asset that was locked up on-chain through the magic of a legal sale agreement (pay me now, I deliver later). The deal got passed around the ecosystem, fund managers bought up the locked SOL at more than 60% discount to compensate for being locked up and exposed to the token price. Many hedge funds bought the deal. They knew they could hedge the token price on futures markets by shorting SOL pocketing 70-80% yield at near zero risk (staking + basis yield + token discount). They liked it and asked where can we get more of this? Herein lies your PROBLEM as a crypto investor in 2023-2025. Every crypto project has backers (and a foundation) who has great wads locked tokens that have been sold to hedge funds and dumped on you immediately through futures markets. All your alpha went to market neutral hedge funds pocketing risk free yield. THAT IS WHY CRYPTO IN 2023-2025 UNDER PERFORMED You got dumped on prematurely. On the bright side many of these projects, even though they have "locked up tokens ready to dump" on paper, in reality they have been sold already, so they will logically perform without the expected sell pressure in the next bull market given they have effectively been sold. Not that I recommend buying crypto, you need to be an insider to get an edge, it works like a casino, the house will take your money. The house in 2023-2025 were the people who understood this trade. Just buy BTC and get on with your life.

NEW 'LORD OF THE RINGS' MOVIE Stephen Colbert is co-writing "The Lord of the Rings: Shadow of the Past" (working title), which will go into production after "The Hunt for Gollum." The synopsis: "Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo - Sam, Merry, and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began." Colbert is co-writing the script with his son, Peter McGee, and franchise veteran Philippa Boyens. variety.com/2026/film/news…

@cb_doge “If you want to go beyond a mere terawatt per year you have to go to the moon…. And if you do that, you can go several orders of magnitude greater. You can go to 1000 gigawatts or more per year,” 1,000 gigawatts IS = 1 terawatt 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ wtf is this retardation here??

ELON MUSK: SpaceX will build a mass driver on the moon. "If you want to go beyond a mere terawatt per year, you have to go to the moon. So by having factories on the moon, building AI satellites and having a mass driver, which is the kind of thing you really need to learn about in read about in science fiction, but we're going to make it real. We're actually going to have a mass driver on the moon. And if you do that, you can go several orders of magnitude greater. You can go to 1000 gigawatts or more per year, and ultimately get to maybe a millionth, and then a 1,000th and maybe even a few percent of the sun's energy. I really want to see the mass driver on the moon that is shooting AI satellites into deep space just go like just one after the other. I can't imagine anything more epic than a mass driver on the moon and a self sustaining city on the moon, and then going beyond the moon to Mars, going throughout our solar system, and ultimately, being out there among the stars and visiting all these star systems, maybe we'll meet aliens. Maybe we'll meet see some civilizations that lasted for millions of years, and we'll find the remnants of ancient alien civilizations. But the only way we're going to do that, do that, do that is if we go out there and we explore, and this is the path to making it happen."

MicroStrategy Discovers the Infinite Money Glitch (Again) The new $42 billion masterplan: 1. Issue $21 billion in perpetual preferred stock, legally committing to pay a $2.4 BILLION annual dividend. 2. Use the cash to buy Bitcoin. A pristine asset, but one that generates absolutely no native yield. 3. Acknowledge that the underlying software business generates nowhere near enough cash to cover these massive new dividend obligations. 4. Pay the old investors their yield using fresh capital raised by selling more stock to new investors. Funding existing backers entirely with money from new backers. Charles Ponzi would shed a tear of pure pride at the mechanics of it.

@saylordocs Martin is right about @saylor - Saylor is not only fiscally irresponsible but trying to gobble up so much Bitcoin (5%) that the amount of centralization will simply kill Bitcoin. As it is most of the mining and mining machines are centralized in @BlackRock puppet companies.

@fat_skeletor @joeroganhq Does "justified" make a difference ? Personally, I think *any* violence toward the non-violent is never justified but... unpopular opinion. We live in a system of violence toward the non-violent (e.g. tax) The dominos have simply fallen and their consequences are in play.
