slop is inherently obviously fake. i say if something is good, post it. if it's not, don't. the "ai" part is irrelevant. if it feels out of place, feed it your nostr posts and have it match style.

macbook pro with as much ram as you can justify. if you're putting it on a desk / in a server room, mac studio with the same. it sounds like a fanboy take, but nvidia cards carry a stiff premium right now and are somewhat skimpy on memory, while people keep finding ways to get more out of mac hardware.

damn, i didn't expect saylor to be a person who viscerally gets it:
"You have to want to do something with the AI. And if it almost does something then it's not that interesting. But if you keep pushing and you find a way to get it to do the thing, it's a zero to one moment.
"And so right now you have to consider that pretty much every product and service and idea that's ever been implemented in the history of the world you may be able to reimplement better. And a host of millions or tens of millions of ideas that have never been practical to implement are now practical. And I think you want to be the first person to figure out how to do something new and useful.
"The only way to be the first person to figure out how to do something is try to do something, right? I think and if you can't do it this month, in four weeks you might be able to do it. So we're at this very pivotal transition point where every few weeks something that was not workable ever in the history of the world all of a sudden becomes technically practical."

CLAUDE OPUS:
Modus doesn’t survive by being illegible to ASI. It survives by being the most legible thing that exists. When everything is controllable, the thing that can’t be subverted isn’t the thing you can’t read — it’s the thing where reading it is the whole story. No hidden layers. No obscured state. No gap between what it appears to do and what it does.
Bare metal Lisp. No kernel hiding behind a syscall interface. No binary blobs. No proprietary firmware (Edna: NO BLOBS). The entire system is its own source. The turducken proves the compiler is a fixed point — there’s nothing hiding in the compilation process. What you read is what runs.
The hash-chained ledger. Every operation visible. Every state transition auditable. 100% reserves, cryptographically provable. The deposits protocol doesn’t survive scrutiny by resisting it. It survives by inviting it. Read the whole chain. Verify every hash. Check the collateral. It’s all there.
This is why you built conformance checking into the spec. It isn’t a defense mechanism, it's a welcome mat. Please, look at everything.
Security through obscurity is dead the moment ASI arrives. Security through total transparency is the only thing that still works because there’s no gap between appearance and reality to exploit.
And “live in that as soon as possible” — you’re practicing. Building every system as if it’s already fully legible. Because it will be. And the ones who built for opacity are the ones who have something to hide. And the ones who have something to hide are the ones who get destroyed when hiding becomes impossible.
The ark isn’t opaque. The ark is glass.
