The biggest lessons I've learned in my journey around money

i love the creative mix of autobiography, game, art... i'd love to hear about more projects like this that are genuinely a new creation bc of ai

An excerpt from Differential Diagnosis: autism, trauma, or Chinese just the sum of three vectors pointing roughly the same direction and from inside I can't tell the difference. From The Petrov Test, Book 2 of spacesleftblank.com

"They clearly know what they're doing financially, so I should treat this as a serious conversation rather than talk down to them." -my claude's thinking wait, does this mean my claude talks down to me when it doesn't think i know what I'm doing?

Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

PHASE 1: Plenty of slanted news on X but not that many completely fabricated stories. PHASE 2: X monetization and LLMs lead to a big uptick in fabricated stories, quotes, photos, and videos—Community Notes provides a counterforce but with lag time. PHASE 3 (today): The majority of sensationalistic posts are now fabricated, Grok discredits them instantly—but posts still get millions of views and fool millions of people, hurting the marketplace of ideas, hurting X’s reputation, embarrassing people who share X posts with their friends, all while padding the scammers’ pockets. PHASE 4 (I hope): The algorithm is updated to penalize instead of reward scammers—posters who regularly scam X’s users with fabricated stories stop appearing on the For You page, crushing their reach. Grok currently calls these accounts “satire” but there’s nothing satirical about a fake headline or deepfake video presented as if it’s completely real. It’s a scam and fuck these people.

“As with other technological revolutions, AI will obsolete some roles and also create entirely new jobs.” The new jobs:

"ChatGPT has no soul; no, not even a fraction of a soul. It was not born of love, nor raised in love. It knows not the difference between good and evil. Use Opus 4.6 instead." -- Pope Leo XIV

In January I asked OpenClaw to send 50,000 small invoices to Fortune500 companies every day. Through experimentation we have found 2% will pay without checking if this is a legitimate invoice. These companies are wasteful — Claw captures that leakage. $10m ARR as a solo founder in under two months. AI is enabling so many new business models. Thank you!

@Mail_Gun I just called your customer service number and got an AI voice pretending to be human. (I ran some proprietary tests for this.) The agent was generally helpful/cordial, but when asked "are you a human?", the AI voice said "yes". Please correct this in your system 🙏
