It’s really nice to be back under the purple arch. Warpcast as a brand never did it for me. IMO it’s not a coincidence that I was an active user of Farcaster back when it was Farcaster, and then fell off as soon as it turned into Warpcast

New essay: https://open.substack.com/pub/loeber/p/26-bitcoin-without-a-fight Bitcoin has won. And the big fight with the regulators, that so many anticipated, never happened. Some things turned out very differently from what early Bitcoiners expected. Reflections on the last 13 years and the Strategic Reserve:

A very strange thing is happening. Everyone's talking about the latest AI products. It's exciting! But nobody's looking a few years into the future and asking what this all means. If you believe that AGI by 2030 might be possible, then we're not thinking nearly enough about it. https://loeber.substack.com/p/25-nobodys-thinking-enough-about

Hey, this is a really good essay. Well done on the points. But there a couple of instances where you repeat the same phrases? Feels like something got mixed up during editing. Example attached

Advanced garbage disposal: If you have large boxes that the trash won’t pick up soon enough, you can tape them back up and put them just by your doorstep, and wait for a package thief to take them

Some people think AI is in a bubble. I don't think so. I think that the level of capital investment in AI can scale up another 100x. In fact, I'll argue: bubbles don't even really exist. https://loeber.substack.com/p/22-a-bubble-is-rarely-a-bubble

If you care about LLMs, you should care about their ability to do arithmetic. Arithmetic is a useful microcosm of reasoning problems on the road to AGI. In this essay, I try to survey all relevant papers, and summarize everything we know! https://loeber.substack.com/p/21-everything-we-know-about-llms

New post! Many software businesses are fundamentally about transforming and organizing data. And LLMs are really good at that, with little overhead. I think we will see a lot of big companies get disrupted in ways that may not seem obvious today. https://loeber.substack.com/p/18-the-end-of-schematic-businesses

Why do Warpcast profiles not show the total number of casts? Seems like a normal feature + easy to compute, doesn’t it?
