Once the pages were transcribed, however, Claude was able to do in a day what had defeated humans in 80 years - to understand everything in Godel's 1940-2 notebooks.
Claude found 663 theorems that no one knew about!

This craft is made of one thing: money.
That's the entire difference on everything: investment level.
It's one of the single, uni-dimensional levers we have.

Meanwhile a General strike in Catalonia is massive: almost a half a million people on the streets.
Is there any country in Europe that does not have a general strike or an enormous rides?
Maybe Monaco or Lichtenstein…
Randomly reminded that the Goldman Sachs analyst that predicted a $1,500 price for Bitcoin as a Hawala substrate wasn't wrong, he just wasn't pricing in all the gambling and crime.

It is incredibly funny how an "exchange" can lose 6 billion dollars overnight and it's like just a bump in the road; it doesn't change the fact that Binance is a planet-spanning unregulated casino that produces infinite cash.

DIFFUSION OF RESPONSIBILITY
The problem of "nobody gets fired using Microsoft" brought this interlocking fragility from monoculture, same as in finance nobody gets fired using "Nobel" "portfolio theory/buying "highly rated" securities, &, in medicine, precribing statins.

Fun fact: "Build Your Own Future" (BYOF) in the gapmap.uk manifesto has a sci-fi origin story.
Inspired by Eric Frank Russell's "...And Then There Were None", published in Astounding Science Fiction in 1951.
In the story, the crew of the Terran Empire runs into a free society that refuses to collaborate. It's leaderless and hierarchy-free, run on mutual obligations ("obs") and passive resistance.
Whenever officials tried to take control or find "someone in charge", the standard reply was MYOB - mind your own business.
So parallel institutions BYOF.
While governments MYOB.
Welcome to my TED talk.
P.S. Russell's novel The Great Explosion is worth a read.
Everything you need to know about humanity's failure mode is in appreciating that literally we have the scientists, developers, and the technology to retire this shit for 30+ years now.

We can do 7-angstrom CPUs now -- the hardware layer -- but we're still arguing incredibly stupid shit sociologically -- at the software, mental, cultural layer.
