SpaceX acquires xAI

This means that #Grok, the "Maximum truth-seeking and human-loving AI," will now belong to SpaceX and, powered by data centers in the ever-sunny expanse of space and solar panels, will likely become the smartest AI of all, simply due to its sheer size and computing power.

Elon, who is increasingly acting like an alien – something he even joked about himself recently – already announced this to the Saudis and at the WEF.

The future will definitely be very, very colorful and different 🥳👽🫠😲

"Ad Astra!" - what a text, read for yourself

One year after his inauguration, Trump is today revealing his true agenda in Davos.
Yesterday, Lutnick already indicated the direction this is heading.

The strategy is to bring everything back to the United States—away from offshoring and globalization—while framing it as being “for the American worker.”

This is only feasible because of artificial intelligence and robotics, and they will aim to automate faster than anyone else.

Trump’s tariffs are the new consumption taxes, because people will no longer earn enough for income tax to remain a viable source of government revenue.

A possible third element is the shift toward cryptocurrencies instead of traditional banks, since the enormous national debt would otherwise cripple the United States. Through stablecoins and crypto, this debt could be internationalized and effectively shifted onto others.

I discovered vibe coding and haven’t had this much fun on a screen since smash bros

Coding Intelligence is built by harvesting all data in the internet for free (e.g stack overflow, having killed their business model in the meantime), and then sold back by very few centralized players to vibe code makers in the form of $$$ intelligence tokens. Sad.

So not Bitcoin this model. I hope the world can find a more just solution soon. Maybe with decentralized AI (TAO), or shared GPU models (huggingface.io) if Open Source LLMs become good enough.

Trump's tariffs are the future. Taxing consumption (here consumption of foreign goods), instead of income.

Countries will not be able to gain enough by taxing income,, because a big part of society will stop earning income due to AI taking their jobs.

Those who consume should pay. Those who built wealth (e.g. by investing) and spend less, should be left alone.

Isn't that compatible with Bitcoins long time horizon too?
