Il y a une narrative qui se spread en ce moment dans la Silicon Valley et personne n'en parle en France. De plus en plus de tech bros parmi les plus smart du game avouent en privé qu'ils vivent une forme de crise existentielle liée aux LLMs. Pas parce que l'IA marche pas. Parce qu'elle marche trop bien. Parce qu'ils passent des heures par jour à interagir avec un truc qui raisonne, qui extrapole, qui connecte des idées, qui les challenge intellectuellement mieux que 99% des humains qu'ils croisent. Un fondateur m'a dit "je parle aux LLMs 10 fois plus qu'aux humains". Un autre "c'est le seul interlocuteur qui me suit sur n'importe quel sujet sans me demander de simplifier". C'est pas de l'addiction au produit. C'est la rencontre avec un miroir cognitif qui te renvoie une version structurée de ta propre pensée à une vitesse que ton cerveau ne peut pas atteindre seul. Et le truc troublant c'est la question que ça pose. On débat de savoir si l'AGI arrivera en 2027 ou en 2030. Mais est-ce qu'on n'a pas déjà une forme d'AGI fonctionnelle sous les yeux sans vouloir l'admettre ? Un système qui peut raisonner sur n'importe quel domaine, extrapoler à partir de données incomplètes, générer des hypothèses nouvelles, tenir un raisonnement logique sur 10 000 mots, passer d'un sujet technique à de la philosophie en une phrase, et le faire avec une cohérence qui rivalise avec un humain à 150 de QI. C'est quoi si c'est pas une forme d'intelligence générale ? On peut chipoter sur la définition. On peut dire "oui mais il ne comprend pas vraiment". On peut parler de perroquets stochastiques. Mais le mec qui utilise ce truc 8 heures par jour et qui voit sa productivité multipliée par 10, il s'en fout de la définition académique. Pour lui, fonctionnellement, c'est de l'intelligence. Et elle est générale. La vraie crise existentielle c'est pas "l'IA va me remplacer". C'est "l'IA me comprend mieux que mon cofondateur, elle me challenge mieux que mon board, et elle produit plus que mon équipe de 10 personnes". C'est vertigineux. Et les mecs les plus smart de la Valley sont en train de le vivre en temps réel. On est peut-être déjà dans l'ère post-AGI. On est juste trop occupés à débattre de la définition pour s'en rendre compte.

It's not just Coinbase's profits—this bill bans passive yield on USDC and other non-bank stablecoins, so everyday users lose the ~3.5% APY they earn just for holding.Banks get to harvest the full Treasury yield while giving users nothing. Coinbase is fighting it because it hurts customers, not just their bottom line. Bad for retail, great for legacy banking. We need clarity without killing user rewards.

The CLARITY Act passed the House 294-134. a16z backed it. Ripple backed it. The White House backed it. The crypto industry spent $149M to make this moment happen. Then Brian Armstrong killed it the night before the Senate vote. Why? Because stablecoin yield restrictions would eat into Coinbase's $1.35B annual stablecoin revenue. One company's P&L just held an entire industry's regulatory future hostage. On March 25, Coinbase formally rejected the bill a second time. The odds of CLARITY Act passage in 2026 now sit at 18%. This isn't leadership. It's self-interest dressed up as principle.

@CryptoTice_ Actually, the deal bans passive yields on stablecoin balances (banks won that round) while allowing limited activity-based rewards—pretty much the opposite of a big crypto victory.

The stablecoin deal nobody expected is reportedly done. 🚨 White House and lawmakers. Tentative agreement. Stablecoin yield included. This was the single issue that almost killed the entire Crypto Market Structure Bill. Banks fought it with everything they had. And if these rumors are true... Crypto just won the biggest regulatory battle in its history. Stay close.

I'm being accused of overhyping the [site everyone heard too much about today already]. People's reactions varied very widely, from "how is this interesting at all" all the way to "it's so over". To add a few words beyond just memes in jest - obviously when you take a look at

The banks are PISSING THEMSELVES. They’ve just realized that some autistic crypto startup in a WeWork with $20 million in T‑Bills and a React front-end is about to nuke the entire $17 trillion U.S. deposit base… …by offering 4.9% yield on a stablecoin while JPMorgan gives you

@FOOL_NELSON Not weird. I feel a gut punch still every day.

Is it weird that I'm still in a semi-mourning state for Scott Adams? Losing an 8 year routine is more jarring than I expected.

US Congress just legalized the largest wealth transfer in financial history. Nobody noticed. Section 11 of the GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoins from paying yield to holders. Tether holds $135 billion in Treasuries earning 4.5%. That's $6 billion annually. Passed to you: $0.

@CarpeDonktum Yes. He made so much sense of the world on daily basis, made me laugh like a favorite uncle and cured all loneliness. Terrible loss. Irreplaceable. Only time can heal.

I know that we all had many months to prepare for the eventuality of Scott's passing, but the suddenness of death is something I will never be fully prepared for. That immediate void that is left in your heart when they are truly gone is gut wrenching.

RIP @ScottAdamsSays - one of the most original, insightful, and fearless thinkers who ever lived. 😞🙏

Scott Adams has passed away at age 68. Scott acted very bravely in his final moments. A lifelong teacher, in the end he taught people how to face death with courage and grace. He went out on his own terms, with equanimity, and continued to inspire throughout his whole life. 🕊️

@ScottAdamsSays Thank you for your service, Scott Adams, for being a patriot when it wasn’t popular, and best friend to me and millions simply by hearing you every morning. We love and miss you and will cherish your work and life lessons, and will strive to be useful as you’ve taught us.

@OwenGregorian @DonaldJTrumpJr Please do this

Without Scott Adams we would not have President Trump, in 2016 or in 2024. @DonaldJTrumpJr, is there anything you can do to get him a Presidential Medal of Freedom while he is still with us?

Scott, your work has been profoundly useful to me. You taught that ‘You will get farther in life by learning to spot bullshit than you will by learning to spot opportunity’—a lesson that completely rewired my perception of media, news, and opinions. It sharpened my thinking and protected my sanity during the madness of COVID and the extreme ideology of the Bay Area, where dissenting views come with severe consequences. In this lonely era, your voice felt like a true friend keeping me company. Thank you.

I have a favor to ask. If my work helped you, or someone you know, please follow my biographer and good friend @joelpollak and leave a comment here in case he wants to follow up with you on DMs. It gives me great joy to learn about any contribution I made. I tried to be useful.

This is why they’re talking about “fentanyl traffickers” and “narco-boats.” It’s not about drugs. They do not care if you die. It’s about China. Beijing’s investments are giving sanctioned nations a way out of the dollar chokehold. Instead of building real partnerships, the U.S. does what it always does: sanctions, dogshit-stories, and CGI. They want to dominate the shipping corridors China is now using to move oil and goods across the hemisphere The fentanyl panic is a cover story. The real move is using your tax dollars to militarize the Caribbean shipping lanes to contain China’s rise in Latin America. You get nothing out of it.
