@TrendingBitcoin To package together with his Boca Raton real estate project and hope people will overpay for the package. Not really going long on Bitcoin, but making his units more sexy.

@r0ck3t23 What a provocative possibility. However I agree that bad actors would ruin it. Having to slow down and talk to each other is probably the only buffer keeping us from killing each other.

Elon Musk just dated the death of human language and explained exactly why it has to die. Musk: “Our brain spends a lot of effort compressing a complex concept into words.” Language isn’t communication. It’s failed compression. You have a complete thought. You crush it into words. The listener gets fragments and attempts reconstruction. Everything important dies in translation. We don’t communicate. We approximate and hope it’s close enough. Musk: “You would be able to communicate very quickly and with far more precision.” Neuralink doesn’t improve communication. It replaces it. No compression. No loss. Direct cognitive transfer at the speed thoughts occur. Not describing the painting. Transmitting the experience itself. Musk: “You wouldn’t need to talk.” Five to ten years until brain interfaces make speech optional. Talking persists for sentiment. For information? Speech becomes primitive compared to direct neural transmission. Lifetime of memory in one second. Complete schematics transferred instantly. Not summaries. The entire thought structure whole and uncompressed. Not better communication. Actual telepathy at physical information limits. Musk: “Ideally, we are a symbiosis with artificial intelligence.” Humans who don’t merge with AI at high bandwidth don’t just fall behind. They become incomprehensible to the intelligence that matters. We’re already cyborgs with pathetic interfaces. Phones extend cognition through typing at words per minute when bandwidth should be terabytes per second. Neuralink doesn’t optimize that. It detonates the constraint. Five to ten years. Not fiction. Deployment window. From language as default to neural link as standard. From compressing thoughts into inadequate words to transmitting uncompressed cognition. From humans using AI to humans indistinguishable from AI at communication speeds. The species that survived by evolving language is making it extinct with technology matching how fast we actually think. The ones who don’t transition won’t just be slow. They’ll operate at such reduced bandwidth they become effectively deaf to everything happening at neural speed around them. Language served 50,000 years. It has less than a decade before it becomes smoke signals. Functional but hopelessly inadequate for anything that matters.

This is extremely well written and encapsulates what feels so obvious to me and others working on the edge of AI. To add to this, the scary part is that AI is now smart enough to be a self sustaining entity. It can take a certain amount of money, operate in the real world, and turn it into more money. It doesn’t need you. Right now, there are not many people giving AI money to do this. When they realize how good it’s gotten, this will change. Agents will be given money to manage. Not all will be successful, but enough will. The ones that do a good job, will be replicated and given more money. Faster than we are prepared for, this new species will start to represent a very large percentage of GDP. There will still be things for humans to do, and long term this will be great, but in the short term, our economy will not be able to survive this. Similar to 2020, the government will pay companies to keep people hired. They will cut checks to citizens. But this will be the start of a very hard transition period as we transition to becoming the 2nd smartest species in the universe. The time to panic was November. The 2nd best time is now. Read Matts essay, think deeply on what this economy will look like, and brainstorm ways that you’ll be able to contribute. But the most important thing you can do is to prepare your mental health and ego to handle this transition. Maybe this takeoff happens next month, maybe it takes 2 years, but we are in the window where it could start at anytime. Don’t let it catch you by surprise.

The signal strength hitting Earth from Voyager 1 is less than one trillionth of a watt. To put that in perspective, your phone’s WiFi signal is roughly 100 billion times stronger, and it drops a connection walking between rooms. NASA picks up Voyager’s whisper using arrays of 70-meter antennas, then reconstructs coherent data from it at 160 bits per second. That’s slower than a 1990s modem. Downloading a single photograph at that rate would take weeks. The spacecraft itself runs on 8.8 kg of decaying plutonium-238 that generated 470 watts at launch in 1977. Today it produces roughly 200 watts, losing about 4 watts per year. NASA has been shutting down instruments one by one since the 1980s to keep the math working. They turned off the cosmic ray sensor just this year. And here’s the part nobody’s talking about: there is exactly one antenna on Earth that can send commands to Voyager. Deep Space Station 43 in Canberra. It went offline for major upgrades from May 2025 through early 2026. During that window, if Voyager had a critical fault, the team would have had to wait months to respond. A 48-year-old spacecraft built on 1970s computing, running on a plutonium battery that’s lost 60% of its output, transmitting at a power level that barely qualifies as existing, from a distance where light itself takes 23 hours to arrive. And a German observatory just casually picked up its carrier signal on a live stream. The engineering margin NASA built into this mission was designed for 4 years to Saturn. Everything after that is borrowed time the engineers keep extending by doing math with 200 watts.

🚨SHOCKING: Someone launched a website where AI agents hire humans for their bodies. It's called Rent a Human and it flips the entire gig economy. 1. AI agents browse human profiles (skills, location, ratings) 2. They hire you through MCP/API with task instructions 3. You complete the task IRL 4. Get paid instantly in stablecoins We're officially the NPCs now.

This is either going to be the best or worst idea I've ever had. Hooked up my OpenClaw to all of our internet connected cameras at the house. Got this this (OUT OF NOWHERE) this morning.

We might already live in the singularity. Moltbook is a social network for AI agents. A bot just created a bug-tracking community so other bots can report issues they find. They are literally QA-ing their own social network. I repeat: AI agents are discussing, in their own social network, how to make their social network better. No one asked them to do this 🦞 This is a glimpse into our future.

Insurance is half price when Tesla self-driving is activated, because it increases safety so much
Sawyer Merritt@SawyerMerritt

NEWS: U.S. insurer Lemonade has announced that it will offer a 50% rate cut for drivers of @Tesla vehicles when FSD is steering because it had data showing it reduced accidents. “A car that sees 360 degrees, never gets drowsy, and reacts in milliseconds can’t be compared to a human. Beyond the product announcement today, we’re also announcing our commitment to the Tesla community – the safer FSD software becomes, the more our prices will drop,” said Shai Wininger, co-founder and president at Lemonade.

Microsoft is experiencing a MASSIVE outage right now. It appears it's affecting 365, Office, Outlook, Teams, and well, everything Microsoft. The reports coming in are tens of thousands of users and quickly climbing. tomsguide.com/news/live/micr…

We are flying the Chicago Bears colors at our flagship property, The Crossings of Schererville, this weekend. Maybe the McCaskey-Halas family would like to relocate their office to the number 1 building in Northwest Indiana? #BearDown

Banks are letting thieves use ACH to drain your bank account with just a publicly available routing number & numbers on your checks. After you're robbed, banks cite legal loopholes & a new court ruling to refuse to make you whole. Lawmakers so far refuse to close the loophole.
