Maumee, Ohio is amazing. Found The Village Idiot. Standing room only with cover charge and live music at 6pm on Friday evening. Local recommended pickle and meatball pizza. It was phenomenal.

Imagine 10,000x’ing your productivity.
The single biggest difference between humans and AI agents is the amount of actions they execute on a computer per unit of time. AI agents can look and act just like humans, but execute 10,000X more actions per unit time. that's the tell. so the key to defending cyberspace from AI slop or AI attacks is to target ACTION, not IDENTITY. trying to detect AI is a fool's errand; targeting its BEHAVIOR is the key. So if you want to deter AI from accessing your website/system, simply make it expensive in computational tokens to ACT on your website. Make every command or button cost a token, and suddenly it's 10,000X more costly for AI to act than a human. You can't stop AI, but you can make it extraordinarily expensive to use it. We already know this intuitively, because everybody who has ever run openclaw or their own personal AI agents knows that the single biggest LIMFAC is compute tokens. your AI is only as good as your compute token wallet. but AI compute is constantly getting cheaper and better, and some countries have far better AI compute than others, creating a major imbalance of power. so the key to long term success is to create some kind of universal, non-sovereign, geopolitically neutral compute token network. that is, we need some kind of network that accounts for a bunch of transferable tokens that are computationally expensive to produce. that no amount of AI compute can produce more of. we need a proof-of-compute token network. and we need it to be fully decentralized so that no single person or polity can gain permanent or centralized control over it. we need this network to be globally dispersed. and we need to figure out a way to distribute those compute tokens in a way that's fair, that gives no single person or polity an advantage over the others. perhaps in some kind of first-come first-served basis, where the users who provide the computational power are given the tokens and free to spread them out however they want. if we had this compute token network, the final step to saving ourselves against AI is to simply adopt the habit of making every online action cost some fraction of a compute token, so that it's orders of magnitude more expensive for AI agents to operate online than humans. the first nation to discover this compute token network and use it to its defensive advantage against the threat of agentic AI will win the 21st century. BTW that compute token network is Bitcoin.

AI is the greatest driver of growth man has ever created. We haven’t seen anything yet. Compute demand has barely peeked around the corner.
i have been buying GPUs for the past month & gotten firsthand insight into how sales processes are changing due to ai. vendors are now sending us forms with prompts built in & assuming that we are going to hand them off to our agent who will gather context to fill them out. the one in the image is an anonymized example, but i gave the real version to opus 5-5 & it executed perfectly. i think it's likely that ai leads to infinite GDP growth. every 0.1% of bureaucracy we cut leads to ~$100B in GDP created. right now only the most ai-pilled customers & vendors are doing this, but it will soon be everyone. we're not ready for how insane the compute crunch is going to be. we're still so early.

Can't oversell the importance of reading C.S. Lewis. @CSLewisDaily
I hope they've done the required reading.

You haven’t enough compute.
JUST IN: Elon Musk predicts SpaceX will surpass OpenAI and Anthropic in AI within 6 months.

Stacking sats with every purchase of anything. You got a receipt? @crinklrewards gives you sats.
A scan a day keeps inflation away. Someone asked me of if @crinklrewards was legit. I just claimed 33,000 sats from scanning my receipts.

Whoops! $ORCL
Aren’t they selling compute? They literally don’t even have tokens

Zuck had gone so deep on AI & Compute that he has noticeably increased his presence here in X, a competitive platform to his own Threads, to market $META. I like it. More power, more compute, by any means necessary. Muse and Muse Charm…thoughts?
Here's everything I announced at Meta Connect today 👇

Demand for tokens compounds like nothing we’ve seen before. The more tokens we burn, the more we want. Quantifiable demand increases daily. Compute has legs. Incredible legs.
Every time I'm like "wow are we severely overbuilding or overvaluing all of this AI stuff" I then run out of tokens and immediately realize I need infinitely more Give me infinite tokens. We should do all the things that will lead us to infinite tokens

It's only a matter of time till neoclouds introduce dynamic pricing. If you are running at full capacity, by definition, you are pricing too low and leaving money on the table. As margins compress, that money will become a critical part of your revenue optimization.
Today we're introducing spot pricing for preemptible VMs on Nebius. From October 8 the price will be calculated dynamically from available capacity and demand, per GPU type and region, instead of a discount we set. Cap what you pay, or follow the price. Settings are live today.

Expect more headlines like this. More power. More data centers. More compute. At any cost. Great to see Google/Alphabet stepping up like this. $GOOG
Replying to @Google
@Google has agreed to pay for the upgrades of two of the Georgia Power owned nuclear plants. this deal is a point in the story of how data centers may be net positive for the grid long term. but, that takes understanding how dollars flow through this market to explain🧵

‘agentic’ showed up on 24% of s&p 500 calls this quarter, up from 9% in early 2025. ‘generative ai’ went the other way, from 13% to 5%. but only 15% of companies put a number on what ai did for their own business. that was 9% before. pilot language never even got above 4%, which makes the 15% pretty selective. nobody gets on an earnings call to talk about the pilot that went nowhere. same problem with the 47% average cost saving. that’s the average from the stuff that worked well enough to make it onto the call. 15% doesn’t read like early adoption to me. it means 85% still don’t have a number they’re willing to be held to.

There’s going to be a lot of education required to get compute derivatives flowing. I’m a fan and builder of electronic trading platforms but accept that OTC brokers will play a significant part of igniting the compute trading space. @berniebiased is correct here. Helping hands will be in strong demand.
many people ask me how to get into the compute game and what kind of products to work on my suggestion is to just become a broker. build your network, understand how it works. right now you can make millions just being a broker - stop being silly and overly clever
