Episode 1: Chutes, SN64.
The first Bittensor subnet to cross $100M market cap. 9.1 trillion tokens processed. 400,000+ users.
Its closest centralised competitor just raised at $17.5B.
Here's what Chutes actually does and what it's worth. 🧵

Today I scrolled wayyy back through Discord just to see what was happening 5 years ago.
Fucking Discord, thank you for somehow keeping all that history alive. 😂
It's wild to see how small Bittensor started - just like every other tiny startup with a crazy idea.
Now we've got 100+ teams, thousands of insanely talented technical minds, and an ecosystem that barely resembles what it was back then.
Makes me wonder where we'll be 5 years from now.
If this is what happened in the first five years… imagine the next five.
HOLD!

At @covenant_ai, we made decentralized RL for LLMs as fast as centralized RL.
We achieve over 100× bandwidth reduction for weight sync. Completely lossless.
Here's how we did it!

1. Do more in parallel
Spin up 3–5 git worktrees at once, each running its own Claude session in parallel. It's the single biggest productivity unlock, and the top tip from the team. Personally, I use multiple git checkouts, but most of the Claude Code team prefers worktrees -- it's the reason @amorriscode built native support for them into the Claude Desktop app!
Some people also name their worktrees and set up shell aliases (za, zb, zc) so they can hop between them in one keystroke. Others have a dedicated "analysis" worktree that's only for reading logs and running BigQuery

923 Clawdbot gateways are exposed right now with zero auth (they just connect to your IP and are in)
That means shell access, browser automation, API keys.
All wide open for someone to have full control of your device.
Had Clawdbot check my setup:
- Config shows bind: "loopback"
- External port test: connection refused
(Not exposed)
If you're running Clawdbot, check yours:
bind: "all" means you're on that list
Fix: change to bind: "loopback" and restart.
It takes 10 seconds.
RT for exposure

Bitcoin was the Zcash testnet
Satoshi: "I very much wanted to find some way to include a short message, but the problem is, the whole world would be able to see the message. As much as you may keep reminding people that the message is completely non-private, it would be an accident waiting to happen."
Zcash: "We conceived of the encrypted memo field..."

wow chamath is zec pilled!
"The great thing about the US dollar is the physical bill in your pocket is fungible. We have to find a way to replicate that digitally to preserve privacy. If you transact all day and theres no way to shield some privacy, that's a scary outcome."

A major additional factor should be considered.
Satellites with localized AI compute, where just the results are beamed back from low-latency, sun-synchronous orbit, will be the lowest cost way to generate AI bitstreams in <3 years.
And by far the fastest way to scale within 4 years, because easy sources of electrical power are already hard to find on Earth. 1 megaton/year of satellites with 100kW per satellite yields 100GW of AI added per year with no operating or maintenance cost, connecting via high-bandwidth lasers to the Starlink constellation.
The level beyond that is constructing satellite factories on the Moon and using a mass driver (electromagnetic railgun) to accelerate AI satellites to lunar escape velocity without the need for rockets. That scales to >100TW/year of AI and enables non-trivial progress towards becoming a Kardashev II civilization.
