@nealasher Midworld - by Alan Dean Foster for inspiration. 😀

Hmm, biological weirdness seems to be my thing lately. I was writing about a particular war drone recently and, frankly, I got a bit bored with fighting and exploding spaceships. Now I've started something set on a world where I'm playing with odd creatures, ecology and tangled biological systems and I'm having great fun. Perhaps this will refresh me to return to the other thing. However, I'm throwing enough Chekhov's guns into the present work that it's already looking like the start of a book. 🤷‍♂️ Go where the muse takes me I guess.

@nealasher Thanks for over 2 decades of amazing stories!

@Tradermayne This is the way!

Just finished reading the Expanse. Next up I'm reading the Mars trilogy. Thinking I got old school and hit Asimov the Foundation after that.

@IJakubCervenka Can't visit yet. Give it another 2-3 years for VR versions of these. Absolutely amazing artwork by the way.

I guess I love to create places that I can't visit.

@SawyerMerritt @mikepat711 @UnpluggedTesla Excellent taste!

@mikepat711 @UnpluggedTesla Here are the 20" UP-05 on my car. I kinda wish I got the 21" but the softer ride quality and cheaper tires on the 20" are nice

Anyone have recommendations on 20” @UnpluggedTesla rims for the 2026 Model Y?

The only sane person in Hollywood right now talking some real talk.

Of course that's your contention. You're a first-time SaaS bear. You just got finished listening to some podcast, Dario on Dwarkesh, probably. Now you think it’s the end of white collar work and seat-based pricing is screwed. You're gonna be convinced of that til tomorrow when you get to “Something Big is Happening”. Then you’ll install ClawdBot on a Mac Mini, vibe code a dashboard on top of a postgres database and say we’re all just a couple ralph loops away from building a Salesforce competitor. That’s gonna last until next week when you discover context graphs, and then you're gonna be talking about how the systems of record will be disintermediated by an agentic layer and reposting OAI marketing graphics. “Well, as a matter of fact, I won't, because ultimately the application layer is just ….” The application layer is just business logic on top a CRUD database. You got that from Satya’s appearance on the BG2 pod, December 2024, right? Yeah, I saw that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or...is that your thing? You get into the replies of anyone posting a SaaS ticker. You watch some podcast and then pawn it off as your own idea just to impress some VCs and embarrass some anon who’s long SaaS? See the sad thing about a guy like you is in a couple years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One: don't do that. And two: you dropped thirty grand on Mac Minis and LLM API calls to come to the same conclusion you could’ve got for free by following a handful of VC accounts.

The real story here is worse than a fumble. It’s a three-step own goal. January 9: Anthropic locks Claude Code OAuth tokens, killing every third-party tool that built on Claude subscriptions. OpenClaw, which recommended Claude Opus 4.5 as its default model, wakes up to a broken integration. No warning. No partner outreach. January 27: Anthropic’s legal team sends the cease-and-desist over “Clawdbot” sounding too similar to “Claude.” Steinberger complies at 5 AM on a Discord call. During the 10-second window where he releases the old GitHub and X handles, crypto scammers hijack both accounts and run a $16M pump-and-dump scheme. The chaos reflects on the entire Claude ecosystem. February 15: Steinberger announces he’s joining OpenAI. So Anthropic had the fastest-growing open source project in AI history (145K+ GitHub stars, 2 million visitors in a single week), built by a guy who sold his last company for ~€100M, whose tool literally recommended Claude as the default model to millions of new users. Their response was to cut off his API access and send lawyers. Steinberger spent last week in San Francisco meeting with every major lab. He explicitly said he could have built OpenClaw into a massive company but chose OpenAI because he wanted “the fastest way to bring this to everyone.” Meanwhile OpenClaw has already spread to China, with Baidu planning direct integration into its main app. This is a project that was essentially a free distribution channel for Claude. Millions of developers installing a tool that defaults to your model. The growth marketing team at Anthropic should have been sending gift baskets, not legal notices. Sam Altman just got handed an open-source agent framework with global distribution and a brilliant founder, because Anthropic’s legal department moved faster than their partnerships team.

@Jake__Wujastyk Huh....look at that.

@Jake__Wujastyk 60kish is where we bounce

#Bitcoin Likely just bottomed $BTCUSD

Huh...look at that.

@Jake__Wujastyk 200 WMA is where we bounce.

Nope, too many leveraged tards still out there. Flush it to $0

This is not just hype for a potential fundraise. Filing with the FCC with plans for 1M “AI Inference” sats in SSO is in line with the 100GW statements Elon has made several times over the last 90 days. We’ve done a lot of math (100s of hours at this point) around this concept specifically, if you want to dig in when you have an hour or two. AI Chips for space (most recent): research.33fg.com/analysis/elon-… Radiative cooling math: research.33fg.com/analysis/debun… Location for the constellation(SSO): research.33fg.com/analysis/where… Energy cost for Orbital compute: research.33fg.com/analysis/orbit… Feel free to ask Grok to read this for you. They are ungated and it does a great job with the math.

@SawyerMerritt Don't forget The Boring Company. Stick a TBM in a Starship and send it to Mars to help build out tunnel infrastructure.

Tesla builds massive chip fabrication and solar manufacturing facilities. Those chips and solar panels go into SpaceX’s AI satellites. xAI develops and manages the AI. That AI helps Optimus development. xAI uses Tesla Megapacks at its datacenters to smoothen out power fluctuations. Optimus becomes capable enough to do construction, so SpaceX ships Optimus to help build on Mars. There are so many organic synergies between these companies across data, hardware, software, and manufacturing.

Thanks for the thought-provoking piece. My main critique is that you are overemphasizing flashy but low probability events like “left-handed bacteria,” while merely giving lip service to the risk of extreme economic concentration of power, which is very real and materializing as we speak. Anthropic is reportedly raising funds at a $350B valuation, and the wealth created thus far has been concentrated into a few hundred (perhaps more like dozens) high net worth individuals / institutions. It’s looking increasingly likely to me that none of the leading AI labs will IPO until they reach valuations in the trillions, at which point retail investors will finally be able to get shares. In order for retail to get a 100x return on these investments, which was achievable for Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google, the valuations of the AI labs will need to reach hundreds of trillions of dollars, meaning it’s likely too late for a more equitable redistribution of wealth. Simply put, you are currently exacerbating the problem. The consequences of this are that voters may take matters into their own hands and push for either or both 1) more aggressive / nonsensical forms of redistribution — the CA Founders’ Tax is just the beginning or 2) a drastic knee-capping of the AI industry in America, which make the CCP dominance scenario more likely. The solution is to enable retail ownership now, increasing the number of Americans with economic exposure to Anthropic and other AI labs from hundreds of people to millions.

people on X are so far ahead on the technology curve compared to everyone else it's not even close
