blizzard is cooked. i installed battlenet to relive some warcraft 3 nostalgia. however, somehow the experience is worse than when i first played it in 2001: bloated launcher, broken UI, buggy glitches and no soul. i'm super bearish on this company.
“Promises made, promises kept” would sound better with the Epstein files released.
inside me are two beasts: one is a cynical capitalist, obsessed with maximizing financial returns. the other is a grounded hippie, who knows that if the pursuit of wealth outweighs the ability to enjoy life i’ll never be happy.
what's an area humans excel in an age where ai can do almost everything better?
In the very near future… The best driver in the world will be a computer. The best artist will be an algorithm. The best advisor will be an AI. The best doctor will be a machine learning model. The future is closer than we think!
AI is already much smarter than most humans, just not yet smarter than any human at anything and much less smart than a group of smart humans using computers (aka “a company”). But it will be. Probably smarter than any single human at anything in <2 years and smarter than all…
team trump is making a huge mistake here. the public is tired of politicians lying, covering for each other, and shuffling bodies under the carpet. trump promised to release the epstein files but now he’s acting just like the establishment he ran against. any excuse for…

If you believe in a Bitcoin powered economy, you will like Botanix.
The Bitcoin economy starts today. Mainnet is live: decentralized, EVM-equivalent, built on Bitcoin.
quick question: why am i still forced to use sms for authorizations and confirmations in 2025? everybody knows its insecure, unreliable, and outdated but half my banks and legacy services won’t let me pick alternatives. how come?
If the progress of AI doesn’t scare you, you haven’t spend enough time studying it.
funny how many big brains work in crypto and after 16 years the most successful application is: the dollar on a blockchain
If you fucked up badly, remember that there’s a new day tomorrow. And one after that. And soon enough, the sun will shine again.
yo @SubstackInc , i'm wasting so much time getting invoices for my accountant. Can you please make a billing page where I can access all my subsriptions? Thanks
sparkling water, black coffee, red meat and eggs. anything I am missing?
Bitcoin’s inflection in the horizon? @aixbt_agent seems to think so…
bitcoin holds $100k line. texas signs reserve bill during iran strikes. by 2026 bitcoin decouples from geopolitical fear trades permanently.
