Over the weekend I built a social simulation game... where you’re dropped into a random life in San Francisco right as the AI wave hits. You have 12 years to make generational wealth. Will you build it, buy it, or marry it? Simulation based on true data. Play link below.

Every day I log on, every day multiple new CVEs and hacks. I now have a grok bot summarize the day’s actionable security items for Claude to review and implement, and just cross my fingers. Super simple to set up but lmk if you want the summary.

What are the best coin charts that started with perps? Are there any? The best charts always launch with no pre-trading. Hope PAPER becomes the exception, for my bag.

Working from China. Productivity divided by 10. Still paying for $200 plans. Feels bad man.

Nostalgic for the late nights walking home after playing dota with the bros. The air is crisp, the streetlights amber, the snow is cronchy under your footsteps. The only concern is tomorrow’s finals and how to impress the girl.

How do other kwants do universe definition? 30d adv? Circ market cap? Whatever is top on your main exchange? Also gotta consider point in time ness. If you screw this up, everything downstream is tainted.

In the future there will be a currency (no not Bitcoin) for superintelligence space-time coordination. You will not be able to meaningfully accumulate any of it, nor be able to hodl it (high inflation). And a currency for humans, which will be soul-bound. Your material possessions will be respected and carried over but they will lose relative value.

She’s describing @jomatech
literal hardest role to hire for rn and every ai startup wants someone > chronically online (knows trends) > has taste & can create (new media) > understands ai & technical > can execute with quality (operator) such a small niche of folks who can do this

One design improvement I could see for @papertrade_xyz is if they paid the winners in $PAPER for waiting in the payout queue (if there’s a queue)

i trust that our game devs designed the game so that defense > attack
Replying to @kmad @matthew_pines
I think we might lose public key cryptography.
