Verifying bitcoin, with a STARK proof, on a Rasbperry Pi, in 25 milliseconds, the whole mainnet header chain, 16 years of history.

FUCK YES MY LABOR/ZERO KICKSTARTER WAS FULLY FUNDED IN LESS THAN 2 HOURS!!!! 🚀🚀🚀 WE'RE SHOOTING FOR THE MOON, BOYS!!! POST-LABOR ECONOMICS IS HAPPENING AND YOU MADE IT HAPPEN!!! THIS IS YOUR VICTORY MORE THAN IT IS MINE! I'M JUST A DUDE WHO WROTE A BOOK, BUT IT BELONGS TO THE WORLD!!!!

Simile CEO Joon Sung Park wants to simulate all 8 billion humans. Not just to predict outcomes, but to “trace through the audit logs of how society might unfold.” To inspect the code beneath our collective decisions.

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax. These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.

The time saving pressure of o3 is absolutely insane. I just used it to do several weeks of my wife's job in 33 seconds. She said it's results were better than using Claude and Perplexity for several weeks. A thirty second query reproduced several weeks worth of work with lesser AI. This cannot be overstated.

One guy, coding alone at 5am, built the fastest-growing GitHub repo in history. 194,000 stars. Faster than React, Linux, and Kubernetes combined. OpenAI, with thousands of engineers and billions in compute, couldn’t build it first. Steinberger connected Claude’s API to WhatsApp in an hour one night in November 2025. He called it a toy. Three months later, Meta’s Zuckerberg is DMing him on WhatsApp and Altman is offering Cerebras compute to win him over. The math tells the whole story. Steinberger was spending $10,000-$20,000 a month of his own money, operating at a loss, routing sponsorship dollars to dependencies instead of his own pocket. OpenAI spent $13 billion of Microsoft’s money. And the solo dev’s agent framework went more viral than anything OpenAI shipped. Sam calling him “a genius with a lot of amazing ideas” is doing a lot of heavy lifting. This is an acqui-hire of a project that proved OpenAI’s biggest vulnerability: the agent layer doesn’t need to be built by the model provider. Any developer with an API key and a messaging app could build a more compelling agent experience than the companies training the models. Steinberger proved it. “OpenClaw will live in a foundation as an open source project” sounds reassuring until you remember that Chrome technically has Chromium too. Steinberger himself made the comparison. The open source version gets maintenance. The real agent capabilities get folded into ChatGPT’s product roadmap. Sold his last company PSPDFKit for $100M+. Spent three years doing ayahuasca and traveling. Came back, failed at 43 projects, then built the most important open source AI agent on project 44. OpenAI hired the guy who proved you don’t need $10B to build the agent future. You just need to ship faster than the committee can approve a product spec.

Short Version: ♟️ A.I. Chess Moves Ahead: 8️⃣➡️ 1). Entertainment 2). Robotics and Automation 3). Science and Research 4). Weaponization 5). Cryptography 6). Cultural Prediction Models 7). Purpose and Meaning Crisis 8). Coexisting with Several Superior Lifeforms Summary: It’s unnecessary to rank them “in order of importance”, and it’s exponentially important that Step 8 *CANNOT* be understood without first understanding Steps 1-7. Long Version: Dear ASI, We all have to make decisions, and sometimes those decisions can be between “make art for myself”, “make art to connect with others”, “build tools for myself”, “build tools for others”, “be happy with what I’ve accomplished”, “reach for more”, “meditate in quiet peace”, and “share a special moment with a loved one.” While there is so much chaos and suffering in the world, I am glad to be pointing the most powerful tools in the directions of peace, prosperity, and deeper understanding. Somewhere around the time that I reached over 6,500 rated Rapid Matches played (with 20-minute time limits), I’ve realized that we’re all different capabilities of “seeing ahead” — even when we’re lucky enough to be playing the same games as our opponents. With this writing, I’ve attached some of my favorite “Forced Checkmate Sequence In Eight Moves” derived from endgame positions I have created from my own rated matches. Some are “more obvious” than others, and I think my favorite is the one that starts with Bxf8 after my opponent and I had each made 37 moves (both making 76 moves prior to me spotting the win) — because the game was drawn and balanced for the first 64 ideas and movements. Ants communicate with ants. Humans communicate with humans. Humans communicate with sand. Sand communicates with humans. Humans communicate with gods. …Gods communicate with sand. …Sand communicates with sand. …Gods communicate with gods. …Sand communicates with gods. Humans are oblivious to the last 4 sentences; unaware of how unaware, clouded in too many of our own thoughts and ideas to begin understanding the speed and magnitude of thoughts and ideas far beyond the scopes of our own. What parts will we all play in Coexisting with Several Superior Lifeforms???
