you running? yeah I'm "flowstaking it"
incentivizing human movement we're building @flowstake

Game theory explains why improving yourself rarely fixes your outcomes. People keep treating their own skills and discipline as a dominant variable because it's the one they can consciously control. They end up running never-ending optimizations but leave the whole structure around them untouched. Suddenly, they are the shiniest object in the room, but it gets them nowhere. That's because a diamond in the mud is still part of the mud. Cleaning it and putting it back to where you found it changes absolutely nothing. Hence, you must change the structure. Swipe the whole room clean; toss out the junk. Ask yourself which environment converts what you already have into a return and what it would cost to move there. Don't spend a decade improving yourself while covered in filth. The structure around you either works for you or against you. There is no middle ground.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The greatest ever has joined X, and his first post is a banger
A letter on why open models are the future
He’s 100% right. And you should be paying attention
Open models will allow every company and person have their own custom, Fable level intelligence. Built completely for their needs
Fine tuned to do exactly what they need it to do
All data, prompts, tokens, completely private
Running 100% on their desks on something as small as a DGX Spark or Mac Mini
This future is guaranteed to come. Every path is leading this way. No government or corporation will be able to stop it
Open models are getting exponentially better and more efficient
They have caught up to frontier, and soon their tokens will be so efficient to create you’ll be able to run them on crap hardware
The time to start getting ready, educating yourself, and even setting up these models is now
It doesn’t matter what hardware you have. You can do this.
All you need is a Hermes or OpenClaw to be your local AI administrator
Ask it to examine your hardware, then look at Hugging Face and see which models you can run. Then ask it to list them with top use cases you can run on each.
Ask it to load the model and get started
Will they be the best models? Depending on your hardware probably not. But they’ll only get smarter and faster. This is the worst they’ll ever be.
The future is coming, and now one of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time came to this platform to reinforce it
Start preparing.

Today we're launching EthSystems.
We build confidential systems for institutional Ethereum.
Institutions want to use Ethereum, but one of the biggest problems is the lack of built-in, modular privacy tools.
We were the Ethereum Foundation's Institutional Privacy Task Force (IPTF) for the past year. We had hundreds of conversations with central banks, regulators, tier-one banks, and asset managers, shipping open source work the whole time.
Wall Street has found crypto as an asset class, but not yet as commercial infrastructure. Institutions want to run real flows on Ethereum: stablecoins, tokenized assets, settlement. These are businesses with billions of dollars on the line, and no bank will operate in full public view. On a public ledger, confidentiality is the hard part: each party to a transaction should see what it has a right to see, and nothing more.
We have a year of proof of work: private bonds, confidential stablecoin transfers, private settlement across chains, the Ethereum Privacy Map, and more. All with protocol specs and security properties, at our website.
We've spent a decade working on privacy in crypto. We know there's no silver bullet. Different use cases need different systems, each designed, specified, and hardened properly, and someone has to do that work. That's why EthSystems exists.
We're an independent, for-profit company, backed by long-term Ethereum-aligned investors. This is a decade-long transition, and we aren't going anywhere.
If you're an institution that wants to build on Ethereum, talk to us. We're hiring: BD in New York, protocol engineers, ops: [email protected]

repeat founders with real build history get a few of my people paying attention
i know a couple angels who like early software bets from builders whove done it before, DM me

Claude Code creator:
"I don't prompt Claude anymore. I write loops - and the loops do the work. My job is to write loops."
in 30 minutes Boris reveals his actual daily Claude Code setup.
Claude Code + loops + dynamic workflow
Worth more than a $500 vibe-coding course

Anthropic pays engineers $750,000+ a year to understand how LLMs work.
Stanford just put a 2 hour lecture that covers 80% of it for FREE.
Bookmark this. Give it 2 hours today.
It might be the highest ROI thing you do this month:

fucking ruthless lol. now we know why anthropic left the board of figma this week
they built a product that not only replaces them it’s just better
Figma stock is getting crushed on the news and already down 50% this year 💀
claude design
> reads your code base,
> creates a custom design system for it
> uses new opus 4.7 to create design assets
this is 90% of the work designers do.

I’m going to tell you how much worse it was at the start of the PC Revolution for white collar workers trying to adapt, vs today with AI
Today, presumably every white collar worker has access to a smart phone and/or a PC/laptop.
Back then, a PC cost $4,995 , an off brand was $3,995. 5k in 1984 is about $16k today. It was really expensive.
The only reason I could learn how to code and support software is because my job let me take home a PC to learn. By reading the software manual. Literally. RTFM. Or pay to go to training. Classes that started at hundreds of dollars then. It was expensive. It absolutely limited who could get ahead.
Today, ANYONE can go to their browser, to the AI LLM website of their choice, and type in the words “I’m a novice with zero computer background, teach me how to create an agent that reads my email and …”
That concept applies to LEARNING ANYTHING
Think about what this means. Any employee of any company can say “ I need to learn how to xyz for my job , which is to do the following: Tell me what more information do you need to help me be more efficient, productive and promotable”. Or “ what new skills can you teach me that will help me reduce my chances of getting laid off “. Or “what suggestions do you have for me to communicate to my boss, who I barely know, to help my chances of staying employed “
These aren’t great prompts. But they are a start that anyone can take.
Think about how incredible that is.
Back in the day was so much harder for white collar workers. It was harder for new grads because unless they took comp sci, they probably had never used a PC.
Big Companies are going to cut jobs. No question about it. Small companies is are going to need more and more AI literate thinkers who can help them compete or get an edge
What I tell every entrepreneur, and it’s more crucial today. “ when you run with the elephants there are the quick and the dead. Adopt tech quickly , you can out maneuver big companies. “
An article from the 90s explaining how in the 1980s, personal computers changed the dynamic of college vs high school workers. College grads learned how to use PCs and grew wages faster
Mind you, this was when interest rates were 15pct, white collar unemployment was the highest it’s been any non covid year, general unemployment was 10pct, there was a recession, 18pct mortgages, and the start of the savings and loan industry collapse.
The economy was a mess. Except it was the start of the “digital revolution “ which lead to change.
Here we are at the early days of the AI revolution. I think it will be very analogous to what happened back then.
If you think learning how to use Clause seems daunting, imagine being 50 yrs old in 1983, not knowing how to type, using a 1.0 key adding machine with a tape roll to do all your work as an analyst and realizing you had to figure out how your brand new IBM PC and lotus 1-2-3 worked.
Or having only used a typewriter your entire career , then having to learn the new PC and WordStar. Trust me. WordStar key combinations were far harder to learn than telling Claude what you want done
Lots of people couldn’t figure it out. Those who did were more productive

@flowstake has a really unique option for things like this. It uses human performance as an attenuation and auth layer. Quite interesting project
