Pace the frontier coz major datacenter rollouts are due in 2030. Before that, the whole industry is compute-poor at least or bitter-lesson-plateaued at most.

It's so completely over for AI Doomers Patriots (Jensen & DJT) in control.

The frontier labs are afraid of open source + RL fine-tuning. Many enterprises are experimenting & getting near-frontier perf 20x more cost-effectively This goes against the business model of closed labs, so they are trying to kill this approach with red tape.

reading code is a niche hobby by now

Welcome to 2026! Milady is back. Ethereum did a lot in 2025: gas limits increased, blob count increased, node software quality improved, zkEVMs blasted through their performance milestones, and with zkEVMs and PeerDAS ethereum made its largest step toward being a fundamentally new and more powerful kind of blockchain (more on this later) But we have a challenge: Ethereum needs to do more to meet its own stated goals. Not the quest of "winning the next meta" regardless of whether it's tokenized dollars or political memecoins, not arbitrarily convincing people to help us fill up blockspace to make ETH ultrasound again, but the mission: To build the world computer that serves as a central infrastructure piece of a more free and open internet. We're building decentralized applications. Applications that run without fraud, censorship or third-party interference. Applications that pass the walkaway test: they keep running even if the original developers disappear. Applications where if you're a user, you don't even notice if Cloudflare goes down - or even if all of Cloudflare gets hacked by North Korea. Applications whose stability transcends the rise and fall of companies, ideologies and political parties. And applications that protect your privacy. All this - for finance, and also for identity, governance and whatever other civilizational infrastructure people want to build. These properties sound radical, but we must remember that a generation ago any wallet, kitchen appliance, book or car would fulfill every single one of them. Today, all of the above are by default becoming subscription services, consigning you to permanent dependence on some centralized overlord. Ethereum is the rebellion against this. To achieve this, it needs to be (i) usable, and usable at scale, and (ii) actually decentralized. This needs to happen at both (a) the blockchain layer, including the software we use to run and talk to the blockchain, and (b) the application layer. All of these pieces must be improved - they are already being improved, but they must be improved more. Fortunately, we have powerful tools on our side - but we need to apply them, and we will. Wishing everyone an exciting 2026. Milady.

So no @tbpn on July 4th? Time to give @notthreadguy a shot!

Some @zkBring updates: - we're not releasing the early version we already developed because there are certain trust and privacy assumptions for a 3rd party zkTLS provider we're not comfortable with. - after sharing a testnet version with early users, we discovered that idea of using zkTLS verifications as a proof-of-humanness resonates more than the idea of attracting non-crypto users with targeted airdrops - we decided to take a bolder bet and focus on solving the problem of airdrop sybils and private Internet identity in general. In a way, we're building now a solution similar to World ID, but instead of scanning your eyeballs, we will ask to verify your web2 accounts (privately via zkTLS). - as this is a much bigger vision than the one we had originally, we believe we cannot outsource the tech to an external party and decided to build everything in-house (based on TLSN and Semaphore). Here are some (early, subject to change) technical details: gist.github.com/mikhaildobs/… Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

About to discuss the Blackprint manifesto by @goodalexander on our reading club. It is focused on enduring yourself and your port by means of tummo practice and pumpfun trenchwatching. You should remain alive till radical longevity is discovered as a knock-on effect of AGI/ASI.

Crypto’s goal, beyond Bitcoin, was always to coordinate capital in a decentralised manner + incentivise protocols. Nobody could’ve predicted it would be the most unserious side of crypto (memecoins) doing this for the most serious side of technology (AI).
