WTF Happened In 1971?

We're all going to get AI girlfriends

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place. I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

I began doing some research on this chart for a sculpture and ended up blowing my mind a few times. Did you know that all John Nash's math in the movie "It's A Beautiful Mind" was handwritten by one of the authors referenced in the Bitcoin Whitepaper? I found a lot more too, wanna dig into some obscure Bitcoin history? Let's go!

Two weeks ago today, I took my first steps outside prison walls in over a decade. I was able to liberate Leaf Erikson as well, the little pepper plant that had been clinging to life on the sill of my cell window for the past year or so.

When Bitcoin has been confirming tons of 1 sat/vb txs for days except yours

Thanks to @realDonaldTrump's pardon, Ross got to hug his wife, mom, dad & sister outside the walls of prison. The past 36 hours have been a complete whirlwind and we keep pinching ourselves to make sure we're not dreaming. So much gratitude, love, and hope for what's to come. Thank you for all your messages! We can't reply to everyone but know it means so much to us. ❤️
