in a sea of corpo/vc L1s, ethereum must be cypherpunk maxxing. it's the best differentiator and very hard to credibly replicate
and this will probably only get worse until the demographical overhang in the west is resolved (if ever)
the eip8363 discussion is impossible to follow at this point, so i asked the clankers to generate an interactive overview endophysics.github.io/eip836…

the free flows of money and information over the last 30 years were an aberration. statists will curtail them again to save their asses. you have to be illegibility maxxing. compliance is only an option if you are on the side of less freedom.

Yeah, I agree slowdowns/pauses on either hardware or frontier AI work or both are good. If "it's unrealistic because the other guy will move forward anyway", then the right solution is for the entities involved (corps and govs) to publicly say "I am willing to not do [X] if [entities A, B, C] also make a similar pledge", and move in good faith from there.

pet conspiracy theory: global shortage of ram, storage etc. is being manufactured to prevent as many people as possible from acquiring enough compute to run any meaningful ai models locally
i am oddly confident in the proliferation of coding agents making software supply chain attacks via dependencies less successful in the future

you gotta love a "privacy protocol" pushing for censorship. next thing you know, you will be the criminal being denied privacy
