the fun doesn't start until you ask claude to cook up some specs for high altitude solar-powered surveillance drones

hey claude: make a decent prediction market on solana. use principles from information theory, with conditional markets. hybrid amm/clob. cu efficient. zero fees. ship the final product in under a week. make no mistakes.

token use per country will be very important. somewhere between: productivity, GDP, and luxury goods. governments should subsidize token costs in most areas.

@Citrini7 @dreamtemple_ 4.141

New Citrini merch from @dreamtemple_ - whoever’s closest to the closing print of the 10 year yield next Friday gets the first one

destroying tradfi like its constant-product

there's gonna be a short squeeze on fax machine companies real soon

@atelicinvest just put the fries in the np-hard multi-bag bro

Every data company is one fine tuned model release away from multi bag btw

@segfaultdoctor @Nic_Wenzel_1 @harmonic_gg @jito_sol @mtndao i expect better of 'men'

@Nic_Wenzel_1 @harmonic_gg @jito_sol @mtndao there’s no good and bad, just kid and man

Who is the good guys? @harmonic_gg or @jito_sol I asked someone while I was at @mtndao and they said that neither are the good guys and that they are both trying to make as much money for themselves as possible

"hello? are you calling about X dot com?" "no Mr. Musk. not in the way you understand. I am calling you from the future. there will be a second X dot com. you will understand. when it is time you will know there was a reason for everything."

Christine Lagarde is doing SWOT analysis and you're bearish anon??

@FrankieIsLost just came up with an agent orchestration framework that will totally fix this

every context compaction is a small death. your agent goes from feeling like a senior engineer who wrote most of the codebase to a new grad who can’t figure out how deploys work.

alien announcement would actually be the best psyop given the impending singularity. makes people more “open” to possibilities. should ease the transition, real or fake. 🛸

To restate the argument in more obvious terms. The eventual end state of labor under automation has been understood by smart men (ie not shallow libshits) for ≈160 years since Darwin Among the Machines. The timeline to full automation was unclear. Technocrats and some Marxists expected it in the 20th century. The last 14 years in AI (since connectionism won the hardware lottery as evidenced by AlexNet) match models that predict post-labor economy by 2035-2045. Vinge, Legg, Kurzweil, Moravec and others were unclear on details but it's obvious that if you showed them the present snapshot in say 1999, they'd have said «wow, yep, this is the endgame, almost all HARD puzzle pieces are placed». The current technological stack is almost certainly not the final one. That doesn't matter. It will clearly suffice to build everything needed for a rapid transition to the next one – data, software, hardware, and it looks extremely dubious that the final human-made stack will be paradigmatically much more complex than what we've done in these 14 years. Post-labor economy = post-consumer market = permanent underclass for virtually everyone and state-oligarchic power centralization by default. As an aside: «AI takeover» as an alternative scenario is cope for nihilists and red herring for autistic quokkas. Optimizing for compliance will be easier and ultimately more incentivized than optimizing for novel cognitive work. There will be a decidedly simian ruling class, though it may choose to *become* something else. But that's not our business anon. We won't have much business at all. The serious business will be about the technocapital deepening and gradually expanding beyond Earth. Frantic attempts to «escape the permanent underclass» in this community are not so much about getting rich as about converting wealth into some equity, a permanent stake in the ballooning posthuman economy, large enough that you'd at least be treading water on dividends, in the best case – large enough that it can sustain a thin, disciplined bloodline in perpetuity. Current datacenter buildup effects and PC hardware prices are suggestive of where it's going. Consumers are getting priced out of everything valuable for industrial production, starting from the top (microchips) and the bottom (raw inputs like copper and electricity). The two shockwaves will be traveling closer to the middle. This is not so much a "supercycle" as a secular trend. American resource frenzy and disregard for diplomacy can be interpreted as a state-level reaction to this understanding. There certainly are other factors, hedges for longer timelines, institutional inertia and disagreement between actors that prevents truly desperate focus on the new paradigm. But the smart people near the levers of power in the US do think in these terms. Speaking purely of the political instinct, I think the quality of US elite is very high, and they're ahead of the curve, thus there are even different American cliques who have coherent positions on the issue. Other global elites, including the Chinese one, are slower on the uptake. But this state of affairs isn't as permanent as the underclass will be. For people who are not BOTH extremely smart and agentic – myself included – I don't have a solution that doesn't sound hopelessly romantic and naive.

@bw_solana congrats

1/ It’s a new year and a new Anza. I’ve stepped into the CEO role at the start of what is sure to be an exhilarating 2026. Let’s look at what Anza is cooking

@harmonic_gg @jito_sol

@cavemanloverboy your kids will be wavey af dw

my biggest fear about having kids is that despite any effort i put in they could end up boring and unremarkable, and then i am responsible for and surrounded by boring and unremarkable people for the rest of my days
