Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 13/02/2026AI-powered surveillance tools will make you all regret how little you fought for privacy very soon. 110
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Governments and news media should not be permitted to publish AI-altered images or videos. 040
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 26/01/2026It’s worth noting that TikTok became more of a surveillance tool after the US intervened. That should unsettle people more than it does. 030
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I’d say what’s happening in the US is straight out of dystopian literature but we all know nobody here reads 110
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 04/01/2026If everyone agrees with an artwork immediately, it isn’t art - it’s decorative ideology. 010
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 04/01/2026Maduro going to be a popular Halloween costume next year 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 03/01/2026The end of Maduro’s rule is a clear win for the people of Venezuela and the free world. Efforts to portray it as “bad” or “lawless” for political points will backfire. 030
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Just make art however you want. Spare us the purity tests 251
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 26/12/2025If you’re using moral panic to defend an old creative hierarchy, it probably won’t age well. Looking at you, anti-AI crowd. 021
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 20/12/2025Best innovation here is artists and collectors actually talking to each other. Old model: a gallerist tells me “some guy who owns an island bought your work” and hopes I’m impressed. 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 17/12/2025Saying you spent 100 hours on something AI could do in 5 minutes isn't the flex you think it is 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 11/12/2025Art optimized for views mistakes attention for value 031
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Fear of quantum breaking all passwords is the new Y2K 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 20/11/2025The danger isn’t crypto failing. It’s institutions absorbing it until it serves the powers it was built to resist. 030
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 19/11/2025Encryption is literally classified as a munition. Not a metaphor, legally a weapon. The state knows how powerful privacy is. 🏴 030
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Crypto was built for freedom and voluntary exchange, not tribal politics. Cypherpunk means privacy, empowerment, and minimal trust. Somewhere along the way, sovereignty gave way to signaling. The revolution was personal, not political. 050
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 30/10/2025At some point we’ll admit the network is captured end to end and the only fix is to burn it down and start over, privacy-first. 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 05/10/2025Everyone can see digital art. Few can see physical art. Digital art matters more. 021
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 20/08/2025Decentralized ecosystems or it’s all sound and fury, signifying nothing. 050
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 17/08/2025Worldcoin opened a LA location and thought it was a good idea to have me speak. Spent 25 min calling out proof-of-person as a spoofable scam, warning about the surveillance state, and telling everyone why they should never give up their biometric data. The Worldcoin staffers’ faces were priceless. 2153
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Been quietly building something I’m excited to share soon. For now, enjoy the rare silence. 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 03/08/2025Signal – the US sees the traffic, not your text. Telegram – Russia can read your text and name the parties. The more you know. 040
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 02/08/2025We don’t value privacy enough and when AI makes the consequences clear, it’s going to be much tougher to claw it back. 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Bad takes aren’t nearly as annoying as the people lining up in comments to agree because they feel it benefits them to. 000
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 19/07/2025Diversification and decentralization of digital art isn’t appreciated enough. Too much maxi talk. 000
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 19/07/2025make exactly what you want to make and let everyone catch up in their own time 000
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 15/07/2025AI is just a complicated machine that’s great with patterns and basic reasoning. It’s neither sentient, nor alive, and we’re still a decade+ from AGI. Any resemblance to general intelligence is purely a combination of wishful thinking and naivety. Sorry. 020
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 06/07/2025My love of tech began at six or seven, when my dad would periodically bring home discarded Apple Macs; I taught myself to tweak their configs so I could wring playable games out of hardware that was never built to handle them. 010
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 05/07/2025The safe/fair-use AI crowd doesn’t get it. Reality is simply our outcome is “safest” only if we win the race with China to AGI and all this posturing is only handicapping us in race we’re losing. 000
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 29/06/2025Turning down all group show offers for the rest of the year. Let’s make some space for other artists. 010
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 27/06/2025Art prices are a combination of speculation on future value based on cultural significance of the art and a handful of psychopaths who just like the art. Here for the psychopaths 🍻 010
Amadon @patrickamadon.bsky.social · 24/06/2025People thinking movie/tv audiences will care about a few visual issues/warping with AI are just coping. 000
