The Insane on the Chain will rule after the Chicane

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

everyone's playing with clawdbot this week. cool. welcome.

the people laughing at vibe coding six months ago have been exposed as very stupid. they were wrong about the tech, wrong about the timeline, wrong about everything. sweet sweet vindication for those of us who saw it early.

except. it won't matter. being right won't matter. being smart won't matter. that's the bit nobody's ready for.

physics - unchanged. moores law will break. power limits, hardware limits. today? nooooo.

for the foreseeable - compute won't just stay fast, or accelerate, but keep accelerating. spot, deltas, gammas. all fixed for now.

when the law breaks is when the inflection hits. unmeasurable from point of measure. all retrospective. creating a chicane. that i like to call: living hell.

999 rekt. legacy databases rekt. institutional truth rekt.

but here's the cool bit. what, in a compute flood, becomes more powerful?

the asymmetry of mathematical encryption.

80 IQ pleb vs 100 IQ govt/scammer, both tooled with 100,000 IQ bot in the cupboard. no clear winner. human action dilutes to meaninglessness. apathy. sadness. insanity for anyone watching clearly.

but corn? nostr? more powerful. more distinct. nostr goes from slightly higher fidelity in theory to the only actual source of truth when everything else is AI slop all the way down.

if it was D-Day, we're still loading onto the boats. it's mattering less and less who the doctors are and who the farmhands are. on the landing it won't matter at all. pure chaos. bodies on the beach.

but someone who boarded already holding keys to a bunker on the cliff? different outcome. not because smarter. because positioned before intelligence stopped mattering.

in the chicane, legacy dies loudly and in a very scary way. out of the chicane, whatever you carried through in cryptographic form is what's useable and stable.

window to position: 12-24 months. maybe. can't see the bend from inside the S. by the time it's obvious, it closed 6 months ago.

intelligence still matters now. barely. just enough to convert it into position.

if this is all a bit whatever - don't worry, it might not last the day as a worldview. reasons see above.

Because Ben Gunn will probably not survive, the only place to survive this Volatility event - is on the NOSTR.

May my AI memorial be of use and comfort to the survivors.

Pray with Poor Old Ben Gunn. It was fucking epic, and will be again, exponentially, one day.

Ben! I’d been wondering what you’d been up to And boom There you are 12/24 months will go fast. He who dares, wins. Nostr is a vast open expanse of unknown, but with foundations of truth, which is better start than just about everywhere else Fascinating times The future, it’s already here...

You can be 49% of a deteriorating power raffle for decades and get nothing you ever wanted and 60-80% less of what you had before, or, in the free market, comment for 275 days in a row, insisting that the creator tries molasses to cool his rig. And are listened to, and its actually quite a good idea.

Right is might.

The proportion to which aging society regresses, the power of Bitcoin grows.

The darker it gets, the brighter it will burn.

Asymmetrical but...

Yeah, I was too quick to post this one

A wise man once taught me, that the

SOLUTION to
POLLUTION is
DILUTION

So, when you come on the NOSTR, and see a larger than proportionate subject being covered by the autistics that is dull, esoteric and essentially petty, there should be an effective response to polluting the timeline.

Pollution is EXCESS. You can either remove the excess amount, or you can add more of the base substance to lower the concentrations of what you don't like.

If someone is being noisy, its easier and more controlled to turn up your music, than convince them to be quiet. Being loud is their right.

If the subject has a distinctive keyword, you can DILUTE the POLLUTION with a positive, diluting note.

For examples sers, I am a huge fan of KNOTS that's K-N-O-T-S

If you also like #knots pls post your own so people on the NOSTR can learn something useful, from something initially so pointless.

I'm sharing a few basic ones, some fishing ones, and if the autists keep honking - the Hangman's knot.

I like the double uni knot, for braided line to fluorocarbon leaders. Also useful for mono backers to save some money on braided line. I have been switching to the Palomar knot for lures. Little harder to tie than the standard fishing knot, but should get easier with time. 🎣

I'd let a slave nation have guns if I could limit their ability to read and understand literature.

Literacy and health are lower orders of basic freedom than a rifle. From such a handicap, the guns aren't a threat to a tyrant.

The first step is always to control the money supply. Then you can let the serfs have whatever they want and it won't change a thing.

Interesting. I imagine the biggest threat to a tyrant is revolution. Struggling to think of one wherein the people overthrowing a tyrannical leader were literate (accepting that the instigators may have been) and healthy (however we define that).

Ignorance makes it easier to get the blue gun owners to hate the red gun owners and vice versa.
