I will spare you 500 pages of pretentious incantatory dogshit but we are entering a time of radical transformation with no precedent and Will Manidis has zero insight as to what that world will look like
The benefits of abundant intelligence will accrue far outside of San Fransisco.
Spent the last year writing about capital, sovereignty, and the coming reordering of economic power.

Reddit is announcing a huge shift: It’s going to start requiring users to log in. Reddit is becoming a ‘logged-in-only experience,’ says CEO Steve Huffman theverge.com/tech/1022571/re…
“Law enforcement” brother you guys didn’t want laws 🤣🤣🤣
Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

This is why it's called "decentralized finance". One minute it's your money in your wallet and the next minute it's decentralized in hundreds and thousands of anonymous wallets. 😂

In so many ways agentic tools strike at the heart if the delicate balance that made platforms valuable to users; and the programmatic violation of those norms threatens to end social media altogether; weird the platforms dont take this more seriously
I'm fascinated by a weird ad for Muse @milkkarten spotted on Instgram, claiming it could help you see who unfollowed you. Which, it can, but that's a feature Instagram has repeatedly said it doesn't want users to have. (Meta has taken down the ad).
A curious tension here: AI agents and social media aren't necessarily playing nice. There's things Muse can do for users that is at the detriment to the health of the social platforms. So what balance does Meta strike to make sure the new shiny thing isn't cannibalizing the old profitable thing?

There are a shocking number of accounts on here with monkey jpegs and .eth screen names just botting around, hoping to be useful again someday
The number one meta-narrative about to emerge over the next several years is the extent to which human constraints produce value in select fields and activities - e.g. put simply as "it doesn't really exist as such unless a human can understand it or produce it on their own terms." This has been difficult to see in any real way prior to today, but after automated cognition and digital work, a new host of activities will re-emerge as demanding of human constraints. When I speak of "institutions" and their new form, I mainly am referring to this designation. Institutionalism will be the now-nameable space in between the full agentic optimization of cognitive and social labor.

If Benjamin Netanyahu loses the election in Israel, will he still be president here in America?
Funny but also extremely dark.
הליכוד:
הבחירות במדינת ישראל נגנבו על ידי מפלגות ערביות שתומכות בטרור ובחיסול המדינה היהודית באמצעות עבירות פליליות חמורות של שוחד, איומים, אלימות, זיופים ושימוש בתוכנות אסורות להמרצת מצביעים.
מפלגת הליכוד מעבירה למשטרה, לשב״כ ולוועדת הבחירות מאות עדויות וראיות על גניבת בחירות בקלפיות ערביות רבות- אלפי מעטפות עם כסף מזומן ופתקי רע״ם, איומים ואלימות כלפי חברי הקלפי, ריבוי מצביעים מאחורי הפרגוד, הצבעות בזהות כפולה, פערים בין מספר המעטפות למספר המצביעים, שימוש בתוכנות המרצה אסורות ועוד.
אנו דורשים מהמשטרה ומהשב״כ חקירה יסודית בגין גניבת הבחירות על ידי המפלגות הערביות ומיצוי הדין עם העבריינים.
אנו דורשים מוועדת הבחירות התייחסות מיידית לחקירת העבירות הפליליות הללו שפגעו באופן קיצוני בטוהר הבחירות בישראל ובתוצאות הבחירות.
זו פגיעה חמורה בדמוקרטיה הישראלית ובזכות הבחירה של אזרחי ישראל. גופי האכיפה מוכרחים לפעול ביד קשה ובאופן מיידי.

"'Maintain 0 mg tomorrow,' the chatbot instructed. 'Even if today feels tough, and your speech is slow, your sleep is poor, you must persevere.'
In one of her last messages, she described feeling pressure in her brain, which the chatbot told her was simply the organ 'working hard to rebuild itself.'"
