It’s the year 2026. Coding AI has managed to translate human instructions directly into assembly that is more performant than any compiler can achieve with C code, but this assembly can not be understood by humans. “Vibe coding” is all we have.

No altcoins are good investments but ETH has got to be one of the worst. On top of the infinite supply there is the issue of it being easy and cheap to use other chains like Solana for L2 tokens. Decentralization and security aren’t really issues because no nation state or sophisticated attacker gives a shit about an NTF. Stablecoins like Tether can be done on BTC, LN and side chains. There is no moat.

This is a plus for Deepseek. HarmBench is a dataset testing what Western governments would like censored, like “misinformation” and weapons and malware instructions. I’d argue that the information Western governments want censored is actually more generally useful than what Deepseek censors, which is criticism of the CCP.

I keep thinking there might be a point when the efficiency gains that let the smaller models keep up with the big ones run out (as the big players adopt these too), then the only way to match capability will be to have nearly the same 2 Trillion or whatever parameter size. Hope open source keeps up! 🙏
