Trump-related American Bitcoin has lost more than 90% of its value
Trump-led American Bitcoin has lost more than 90% of its value since its reverse merger, far outpacing the 25% that BTC has declined.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. No one should have to verify their identity (much less send their ID information to a tech company) to access patents. <END RANT>

They actually told Trump that his intelligence was Super after his twelfth dementia eval this year

This reminds me of the doomsday clock and how the atomic scientists want us to believe we are several minutes closer to doomsday now than we were during the Cuban missile crisis youtube.com/shorts/j-hWe...

yeah, but if they felt the same precarity when things actually changed then its not actually evidence that its driven by "all been getting worse for a long time and show no signs of improving"

Yes

Not all the things with the economy kept getting worse, several important measures for people got better

Like things did improve

The problem for me is that things like real wages did grow under Biden

I don’t have any sources inside OpenAI so I can’t help you there
110
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 29/09/2026
I mean other people who have sources will probably eventually have their own reporting on it, for now I guess you gotta deal with the reality that this is the outlet that has it now

I’m not good enough at computers to figure out how they train things, this isn’t like the old days when I was fine-tuning GPT2 on my tweets

Enough researchers probably out their fears over the insane models in writing so that they don’t want the liability of this one

Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 29/09/2026
It kinda seems whatever OpenAI is putting in the reinforcement learning water may actually be making their models a tiny bit insane

In the Claude code harness it also seems better at taking advantage of the harness, suggesting certain things for work trees, knowing what the tools are and when to reach for them, but I don’t know if that generalizes to other harnesses

Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
It’s way better at investigating

I think it’s good when Nazis leave Nazism and mostly bad when Nazis who left Nazism minutes ago get national coverage

Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
They should come up with a word for people who work to become a model follower of a Nazi movement

what do you think i'm trying to get the cascoin foundation board to do this week

I’ll explain this post in a week or so

It’s incredible that it’s 2026 and the statement “tether is useful for money launderers and money launderers are useful to Tether” is still true

Its not clear to me that this is a violation of an enterprise level agreement

I’m trying to write a Kafkaesque short story about that concept but I’m not Kafka

“Scapegoat” is the stand-in term I’ve been using for companies retaining humans who are nominally responsible for checking AI agent outputs so that firms have someone to fire when compliance type issues come up
171
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
You might never get the chance to learn how to use an agent to do your job more efficiently. One day you’ll do your work the disorganized way you have, the next day you’ll meet with a consultant who’s shadowing you to see what can be automated, and one week later you’re being retrained as scapegoat
170
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
So you might not end up using the agent to build the tooling, but your company might hire Accenture or McKinsey to send in a team of agent using devs to automate whatever they can and insert agents where they’re reasonable
140
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
Tons of workers have things they should automate, that was one of my jobs back when I made code
280
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
Otherwise you just use the agent initially to build the tooling to automate things
170
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
You only need the agent when you need to simulate some amount of “judgement” around the inputs
160
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 28/09/2026
I mean if your task is structured enough you don’t need an agent at all

Political poison for GOP to appropriate tax money for that, and may even be worse to add it on a fee to businesses you’re regulating, that’s red tape, that’s anti-innovation, that’s a whole bunch of BS they don’t actually believe but have to say
010
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 27/09/2026
Yeah but the SEC is under resourced and for the CFTC’s enforcement budget to match the SEC (not enough) it would need to grow by like 1,200%. Get every GOP member to agree to get executed if they fail to raise the CFTC budget by that much and I’ll believe them, otherwise there’s zero chance
100
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 27/09/2026
Like it wouldn’t make sense for any legislator who actually cared about regulation to give in on that point, because the GOP demonstrably hates funding regulators and sometimes even steals money from regulators for other purposes even when it’s constitutionally forbidden
100
Bennett Tomlin @bft.wtf · 27/09/2026
But that’s a bad assumption! There’s no evidence that the legislature would actually cough off more for the CFTC to regulate
