On Claude degradation: I wanted to double-check this, so I'm speaking from personal experience. I noticed this back in mid-February, long before complaints started flooding in this week. Reasoning got weaker, solutions less precise, and it’s not just Claude Code, but Opus 4.6 chats too. I tried to compare tasks vs GPT 5.4 and even integrated the Codex plugin to Claude Code, and the difference in reasoning was noticeable in favor of GPT. Not on a benchmark... but in my real work. I want to believe this is temporary. @AnthropicAI is shipping 10s of releases weekly, so they’re not standing still, but what concerns me is if this isn’t a temporary issue but a compute shortage, then it’s a systemic problem that can’t be solved quickly or by internal improvements alone. That’s a completely different conversation.

Jensen makes a good point on Dwarkesh podcast. If TPU and Trainium are so great, how come they don't compete against Nvidia in the industry standard benchmarks like MLPerf? $NVDA

To @AnthropicAI: actually, the KYC data of power users is more valuable than what you are “protecting.” For those who don’t know, Anthropic started requiring government ID (and camera access for some Claude Max users). For context: 24k fake Chinese accounts, 16M extracted conversations, something I wrote about recently. x.com/rezosh/status/… KYC makes mass fraud harder. Logical. But here's the structural inversion: to protect the model, Anthropic now collects government IDs and live selfies on the servers of a third-party verifier... and this data per record is worth more than what they are protecting. KYC verifiers get hacked... regularly. Anthropic built a honeypot to protect its product, and that honeypot itself became the most valuable target in the room. The fix becomes the problem.

AI is giving every CEO the same advice

🚨Anthropic seems to be adding a mandatory KYC checks for some users. > a chinese account saw this pop up right after opening Claude Max earlier. first they nerf the models then they add a mandatory kyc, smh.






BIP-361 as Bitcoin's quantum moment of truth. Jameson Lopp and Casa are proposing a phased freeze of quantum-vulnerable wallets before theft becomes possible. Mechanics: - Block sends to old addresses = 3 years post-activation - Invalidate old signatures = 5 years post-activation - HD wallet recovery proofs = quantum-safe migration path Not a hack, just infrastructure hardening with a migration window... and Satoshi's 1.1M BTC sit on exactly these types of addresses: - If BIP-361 activates, Satoshi doesn't migrate - That's ~5% of supply frozen forever - Meaning the upgrade itself becomes the deflationary mechanism I've written a bit and thought a lot about the quantum threat, and I've said that the Bitcoin dev community responds fast when it has to. Here's proof. No panic, no regulation, just a concrete technical solution with a concrete timeline. The "code is law" crowd will lose this round and not coos they're wrong, but cos the existential argument beats the principled one. Infrastructure evolves when it has to, not when it wants to... and right now it has to.

Whoever controls production controls speed, and in the AI race, that may turn out to matter more than just the best model for the moment. To rephrase it... the best model will be built by whoever wins on speed. Tesla tape-out AI5, plus AI6, Dojo3, and other chips in development. Elon is playing a different game, and his main advantage is neither models nor engineers... it's manufacturing. Tesla and SpaceX, both companies, are built on control of production, and if Tesla can scale its own chips, the bottleneck shifts from “who can buy chips” to “where to get minerals.” A game @elonmusk already knows... remember how Tesla controls the lithium supply chain.



Cypherpunk Jameson Lopp and other Bitcoin developers propose BIP-361 to freeze quantum vulnerable wallets. This could lock dormant BTC like Satoshi Nakamoto’s 1.1M coins, now worth $74B, before quantum computers can steal them.

Congrats to the @Tesla_AI chip design team on taping out AI5! AI6, Dojo3 & other exciting chips in work.
