1/ threads about how to think different L1 as countries or cities, and use to predict the likely winners? think about how US as a country become rich, the past 50 years or so, since WW 2. what would be the major reasons? 3 major things: Energy, Culture Law

MrBeast reveals why a 10% better video gets you four times the views, not 10% more "I mentor YouTubers a lot. One of the people I've been mentoring recently, he was doing $24,000 a month and then he recently had a $400,000 a month on YouTube." "He was doing 4 million views a month, 24 grand. And then probably like seven, eight months into it we got him up to 45 million views." "It's much easier, as weird as it sounds, it's much easier to get five million views on one video than a hundred thousand views on 50 videos." "You could upload one great video a year and get more views than if you uploaded 100 mediocre videos." "If you get people to click your video 10% more and watch a video 10% longer than mine, you don't get 10% more views. You get like four times the views. A 10% better video is four times the views, not 10% more views."

We're excited to share we have been listed on OpenRouter. Darkbloom is private inference network that runs on idle macs, at half the cost. We're doing a free trial to load test and analyze our performance. All providers will get paid. If you have Mac, get on: darkbloom(.)dev We've already started seeing the numbers. 600K tokens per minute.

True, and has been true for tech in general. since tech make things abundance, which means people who used to 'hoard' those scarcity will 'lose' it. hence it is a Meaning Crisis. this is good for humanity, it 'forces' us to be humble and human again.

"That’s what ... @gensynai @PrimeIntellect @bageldotcom @Pluralis @NousResearch @MacrocosmosAI @covenant_ai set out to research, while everyone on the planet told them it was impossible" @coinfund Founder @jbrukh on @AnthropicAI, government controls and decentralisation

sounds like a perfect storm is forming for decentralized-AI: banned of centralized LLM, data center becomes more expensive, what's next? ooh UK is doing police state and banning social media, and maybe France is next, and yes India is doing its own thing. the risk of counterparty risk has never been greater.

A quick list of stuff "banned" or access restricted to <16 since I was born: • Comics • Pinball • True crime and Judy Blume books • D&D and "satanic" games • Metal and Rap music • Violent films • "Video" games • Pokémon • Laser pointer • The Internet • Energy drinks

dang, stare at the wall ...it's crazy to think the gov becomes your parent.

My ugly delicious with pecel sauce meal

In medieval times, within the arms race of ever more demonic torture devices, some sadistic genius came up with the idea of the Little Ease. This was a prison cell built so small in every dimension that a grown man could not stand upright in it nor lie down at full length nor properly sit. The pain is relentless and without relief and inflicted by one's own body. Prisoners were known to go insane within a few days. A stay at the Little Ease was considered even more cruel than the rack, the thumbscrew, and the other ghoulish machinery of the Tower of London. A breeding pig will spend her whole life in a version of that box. These are social, roaming creatures (more intelligent than dogs) who will never leave this corset of steel. They have been selectively bred to be bigger than their frames can support. Yet we put them in cells so confined that they cannot comfortably sit, and their attempts to do so (for example, by sneaking their limbs into adjacent stalls) reliably lead to fractures and sprains. They cannot sweat, yet have nothing to roll around in to cool themselves off. Except their own manure, which (contrary to the common misconception) they are so averse to (thanks to their strong sense of smell) that new sows will often suffer from constipation to avoid soiling the space from which they eat and sleep. Here is how the writer Matthew Scully described what saw at one of Smithfield’s “gestation barn”: > “Sores, tumors, ulcers, pus pockets, lesions, cysts, bruises, torn ears, swollen legs everywhere. Roaring, groaning, tail biting, fighting, and other “Vices,” as they’re called in the industry. Frenzied chewing on bars and chains, stereotypical “vacuum” chewing on nothing at all, stereotypical rooting and nest building with imaginary straw. And “social defeat,” lots of it, in every third or fourth stall some completely broken being you know is alive only because she blinks and stares up at you … creatures beyond the power of pity to help or indifference to make more miserable, dead to the world except as heaps of flesh into which the [insemination] rod may be stuck once more and more flesh reproduced.” — The Save Our Bacon Act is trying to unroll the few state protections we have against this barbaric cruelty - for example California’s Prop 12 - which banned the sale of pork from pigs kept in gestation crates. It’s incredibly important we don’t end up with this sort of federal preemption. SOB will not only kill the most important animal welfare related laws in the US of the past decade, but more importantly, it will also restrict ALL future legislative progress (aka how the animal welfare movement has gotten its biggest wins). The Senate is currently deciding whether to add the SOB Act to the Farm Bill. With relatively little money now, we can discourage the most pivotal senators in the Ag committee from backing this amendment. Defeating this bill is even more important given the amount of philanthropic funding I expect to come online in the next year or two. It will plausibly be over 10x more expensive to repeal SOB than to prevent it from passing in the first place. All that money that could be spent transforming our society's relationship to mass animal suffering will instead have to be spent just getting us back to where we are right now. That's why money spent now fighting this bill (and I mean right NOW) is so effective. If you’re in a position to donate six figures, please DM me.

Let’s go

If you are in AI pivot to crypto

I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… 34% reduced all-cause mortality 27% reduced major heart disease 34% reduced stroke 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

Thoughts on AI crypto ...NFA

For medical information, general AI frontier models (Google, OpenAI, Anthropic) outperformed specialized @EvidenceOpen and @UpToDate as assessed by 12 US clinicians, randomized and blinded to which model and extensive testing/benchmarks. This was not anticipated. @NatureMedicine nature.com/articles/s41591-0…

aah, and still ignoring crypto ...

all can @Polymarket @Lighter_xyz @HyperliquidX put this as tradeable pre IPO stocks? Prometheus

.@Polymarket just made you a VC. No carry. No LPs. No 10-year lockup. You can now trade @OpenAI, @SpaceX, @stripe and @AnthropicAI outcomes on a live market resolved by @Nasdaq Private Market. The last moat in finance just opened.

this is NFA, but robinhood backed lighter, also backed by some of the most prominent US VCs in the space.
