there will only be a handful of frontier models. people’s lives will depend on them. some will almost worship them, like it’s a religion.

we need cashtags on primal and damus and on all other clients. $BTC

stop thanking ai every time it finishes a task. that little burst of gratitude just smacked a gpu in a random data center and cost you 5 sats.

💯

your job is safe for now 🤣

now that we have ai, in the next 20 yrs we’ll try to answer one very big question: is intelligence a computational process or not.

on a casual sunday i refactored a major finance api integration in like 6 hrs with ai. honestly it did the whole thing, i just babysat a bit. would’ve taken me 3 months otherwise.

the prevailing discourse around bitcoin’s future demand centers on a familiar cast of actors. nation states building strategic reserves, sovereign wealth funds diversifying away from fiat exposure, and corporations adopting it as a treasury asset. these are all human institutions operating within human timeframes subject to human politics. but there’s a far more profound demand shock that almost no one is discussing: autonomous ai as an economic agent accumulating btc. ai’s rapidly moving from tools that humans direct to agents that transact independently. negotiating, purchasing, allocating capital and optimizing for objectives with minimal human oversight. these systems will need a settlement layer that is permissionless, censorship resistant, programmable, and not subject to the counterparty risk of any single government or banking system. they won’t open chase accounts. they won’t submit kyc documents. they’ll gravitate toward the only truly neutral, global, natively digital monetary network that exists. bitcoin isn’t just sound money for humans. it may be the only money that makes sense for machines. every prior model of btc adoption assumes a human decision maker somewhere in the loop. a treasury committee, a central bank governor, a fund manager, a big family office, etc... but ai agents optimizing for long term value preservation will arrive at bitcoin through pure economic rationality unburdened by political ideology, institutional inertia or career risk. they won’t need to be convinced. they’ll simply calculate. unlike a sovereign wealth fund that allocates 2% and revisits the position quarterly, an ai system operating continuously across global markets could accumulate relentlessly around the clock with a time preference approaching zero. not as a speculation but as a logical necessity for self sovereign operation in a digital economy. the question isn’t whether ai will accumulate btc. the question is what happens to a fixed supply asset when a new class of demand emerges that is non-human, never sleeps, and compounds its own economic agency exponentially. everyone is modeling the next buyers as institutions. but almost no one is modeling the possibility that the most aggressive accumulators won’t be human at all.

being a bitcoin hodlr is one of the hardest things. watching your money get destroyed 80% again and again, eight times in ten years and still having the conviction to sit there calmly knowing that long term you’ll outperform every asset that exists.

quantum threat to bitcoin is minimum 30 yrs away. and this problem isn’t unique to bitcoin. the entire world runs on the same cryptographic primitives. bitcoin will be the first network to fix quantum vulnerabilities long before they become a real threat.

software ate the world for the past 40 yrs and now that era is about to end. there won’t really be a thing called saas anymore. not mid or large software companies either. just frontier models generating software on demand and the companies that own them..

ai will hire humans to do physical tasks and pay them in bitcoin. as hopeful and as dystopian as it gets.

ok i’ll bite. nostr feels absolutely dead. it’s not just me. a lot of accounts i try to keep up with are constantly posting and getting almost no engagement. maybe it's time to be honest and actually think about whats going wrong instead of trying to create fake hype. there i said it.

watched boston dynamics’ new atlas for a few mins today. human evolution took about 2m yrs from homo habilis to now and it’s still an ongoing process. meanwhile these robots basically started a few yrs ago and are already pulling off incredible hand movements and hands are the hardest part. replicating hands means solving high dof control tactile sensing real time feedback loops and motor precision all at once. kinda wild to think where they’ll be in 20/30 yrs with ai accelerating exponentially.

looks like both karpathy and elon are saying the singularity is finally getting close. i mean very close probably within the next 12 months or so. if that’s true, by the end of 2030, 5 to 10m bitcoin doesn’t sound crazy at all. when everything becomes abundant and money gets easier as a consequence, scarcity is what ends up mattering most.
