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.

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.

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'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.

This will ruffle some jimmies... But this is sad.
21% of American adults (~43 million Americans) are functionally illiterate, meaning they have difficulty reading and comprehending signs, instructions and forms.
54% of the American adult population reads at or below a sixth-grade level (11 years old). So a little under half of US adults can read Harry Potter.
A third of all US adults lack basic numeracy skills. Fewer than 2 in 5 US adults possess strong numeracy proficiency
The sick part of this, is the victims don't know what they have had stolen from them, like a lobotomy. This is despite a spend of 16k per student per year.
Truly, if you cannot read or write, you are a slave - even in a free country.

In mr dent's defence mate, there's only 80,000 kids trafficked and raped in Texas, which is but a mere third of the entire population of Rotherham. Hardly worth the attention for something so closeby and immediately fixable.
What about a kickass AI assisted blog about the same problem 5000 miles away on a tiny scale?

They will pray for us over their next commercial celebration of how much more tax they pay, how few passports they have, how many people they jail, and how few can read, write or speak fluidly and without flatulence.

regardless, humans are being pushed to the edge cases of even skilled work. And the ancillary roles are cooked with ai (estimator, project manager, quant surveyor).
I would ofc heavily discount a total displacement of skilled labour, but you might be surprised how much manual work will be saturated by the time bots are mass adopted.
I would bet on more being expected of a skilled trade for same time/money. Not redundant, just analog difficulty adjustments, permanently.
I have anecdotes.

for all the stuff that gets attention in this "community", the funds, the tax wrappers, the squabbles, the self serving KYC mega-projects chasing the next round, the pointless niff naff, this one simply didn't get enough, the reaction or lack, is very demoralizing, to the point that the term "Bitcoiner: is now meaningless. It carries no value.
The center is lost. Every man for himself.

Jeeezus there are some ugly ducklings being funded right now.
Too many minted plebs with collapsing marginal utility.
The sharks alllways eat well during the bull.
Sell corn, but not for moonshots. Buy a house or something that can't be frittered away on founder's flight tickets and shit ideas.
