Attie, which interim CEO Toni Schneider referred to as a “new product” that’s “not part of the Bluesky app” in an interview with TechCrunch, allows users to essentially vibe code their own custom feed using natural language prompts — or even build their own Bluesky app alternative on top of the service’s Atmosphere protocol
We’re making it easier for millions of businesses to accept bitcoin.
Starting today, eligible U.S. @Square sellers will begin having Bitcoin payments automatically enabled.
Sellers who accept bitcoin will receive USD as default.
This is how bitcoin as everyday money begins.
Agentic commerce refers to a model where AI agents—not humans—discover, evaluate, and purchase products or services on your behalf. Instead of browsing websites and comparing options yourself, your agent handles the entire workflow from intent to transaction.

The same concentration of power and opacity of accountability that protected Epstein's network also protects the legal architecture that subordinated your property rights without your knowledge. These are not separate problems but they are the same problem, expressing itself through different apertures.

because people who comply under pressure do not suddenly discover their spine when the next demand arrives. They comply again and again. The demands, as they always do, keep escalating.
When millions of people were threatened with job loss during the pandemic if they refused vaccination, most complied. The reasoning was understandable, since all they wanted was to provide for their familes and keep the lights on, live to fight another day. The problem is that the fight never came because people who comply under pressure do not suddenly discover their spine when the next demand arrives. They comply again and again. The demands, as they always do, keep escalating. Compliance did not save them. It simply gave the aggressor permission to continue.
The system does not require the active bad faith of any individual to produce systematically exploitative outcomes. Its inherently evil architecture requires only a structure of incentives, compounded by legal privilege, enforced by the state.
The system does not require the active bad faith of any individual to produce systematically exploitative outcomes. Its inherently evil architecture requires only a structure of incentives, compounded by legal privilege, enforced by the state. Due to the fiat system's opacity and its centralised nature, society has delegated its financial future to a remarkably small number of people; people whose character, ethics, and judgment face far less scrutiny than the average mortgage applicant. Epstein was just a symptom and one of many nodes. The system is the disease.
This system first impoverishes you through monetary expansion, then charges you for the privilege of trying to keep up.
The Federal Reserve has made it structurally impossible to save productively outside the equity market. When the Fed holds rates at or near zero, savings accounts return less than inflation, government bonds yield below the cost of living, and the investor who simply wants to preserve the purchasing power of their accumulated labour has no rational low cost alternative to equity market participation. This is a choice made under duress. The coercion is invisible and deniable, since no law compels you to buy stocks, but it is as real as any coercion that operates through the elimination of alternatives rather than explicit force. This system first impoverishes you through monetary expansion, then charges you for the privilege of trying to keep up.
“Whilst we appreciate the criminals’ exceptional taste, the fact remains that cargo theft is an escalating issue for businesses of all sizes,” KitKat said in a statement.
The exemplary sloth is the fearful small self, which is commonly referred to as the ego of the individual. This safe-loving, all-dreading entity likes quick pay-outs, long breaks and comfortable space without any trouble or grind.

But communities do not decide these things in a vacuum. In practice, governance tends to follow funding.

The majority of people's post-retirement quality of life is tethered, directly and inescapably, to the performance of markets they do not understand, cannot meaningfully influence, and are not equipped to exit.
The majority of people's post-retirement quality of life is tethered, directly and inescapably, to the performance of markets they do not understand, cannot meaningfully influence, and are not equipped to exit. The market god does not merely signal economic health, but also determines whether you can afford your medication at seventy-five. Whether you can leave work at sixty-five or must grind until you die. Whether dignity in old age is possible or merely aspirational. That is the authority this deity exercises daily, invisibly, over billions of lives.
Whenever experiments have been tried on the surface of standing water, this surface has always been found to be level. If the Earth were a globe, the surface of all standing water would be convex. This is an experimental proof that Earth is not a globe,

And I would like to suggest that slowing the fuck down is the way to go. Give yourself time to think about what you're actually building and why. Give yourself an opportunity to say, fuck no, we don't need this. Set yourself limits on how much code you let the clanker generate per day, in line with your ability to actually review the code.
Anything that defines the gestalt of your system, that is architecture, API, and so on, write it by hand. Maybe use tab completion for some nostalgic feels. Or do some pair programming with your agent. Be in the code. Because the simple act of having to write the thing or seeing it being built up step by step introduces friction that allows you to better understand what you want to build and how the system "feels". This is where your experience and taste come in, something the current SOTA models simply cannot yet replace. And slowing the fuck down and suffering some friction is what allows you to learn and grow.
The end result will be systems and codebases that continue to be maintainable, at least as maintainable as our old systems before agents.
Gambling is flourishing because it meets the needs of our moment: a low-trust world, where lonely young people are seeking high-risk opportunities to launch them into wealth and comfort. In such an environment, financialization might seem to be the last form of civic participation that feels honest to a large portion of the country. Voting is compromised, and polling is manipulated, and news is algorithmically curated. But a bet settles. A game ends. There is comfort in that. In an uncertain and illegible world, it doesn’t get much more certain and legible than this: You won, or you lost.
A 2023 Wall Street Journal poll found that Americans are pulling away from practically every value that once defined national life—patriotism, religion, community, family. Young people care less than their parents about marriage, children, or faith. But nature, abhorring a vacuum, is filling the moral void left by retreating institutions with the market. Money has become our final virtue.
The death threats are extremely unwelcome and trying to get my social security number, phone number, and address taken down from pastebins and anonymous imageboards is not exactly how I planned to spend my time, to put it lightly. I am just trying to filter out the noise and focus on addressing the constructive feedback
All of this requires discipline and agency.
All of this requires humans.
build fewer features, but the right ones
experience and taste
Anything that defines the gestalt of your system, that is architecture, API, and so on, write it by hand
Give yourself time to think about what you're actually building and why
a rubber duck to bounce ideas against
Things start falling apart when you think: "Oh golly, this thing is great. Computer, do my work!".
Coding agents are sirens, luring you in with their speed of code generation and jagged intelligence
blossom into a beautiful shit flower of complexity
With agents and a team of 2 humans, you can get to that complexity within weeks.
The individual suffering doesn't pass the threshold of "I need to fix this".
unrecoverable mess of complexity
You have zero fucking idea what's going on because you delegated all your agency to your agents.
you realize that the gazillions of unit, snapshot, and e2e tests you had your clankers write are equally untrustworthy
You have removed yourself from the loop, so you don't even know that all the innocent booboos have formed a monster of a codebase. You only feel the pain when it's too late.
no bottleneck, no human pain
Or the human gets fired
the human, who hates pain
requires you to actually observe
clankers aren't humans
Maybe we all have skill issues.
your side project barely anyone is using, including yourself
surely the next generation of LLMs will fix it
surely the next generation of LLMs can fix it
You're ralphing the loop.
We have basically given up all discipline and agency for a sort of addictio
No code review, design decisions delegated to the agent, a gazillion features nobody asked for. That'll do it.
the fever dream of having your agents do all the work for you
Companies claiming 100% of their product's code is now written by AI consistently put out the worst garbage you can imagine.
Windows is going down the shitter
