The AI bubble is going to pop any day now. The AI bubble:

"The biggest cuck mentality is 'oh, if Saylor didn't exist, we'd be at $40,000.' I don't think that's necessarily true."

"How many people invested in something like MSTR that would have bought Bitcoin otherwise? Saylor holds the Bitcoin, and they hold the stock that's down 80%. I think that number is probably 600,000 of the 800,000 Bitcoin."

"Food stamps are not asset tested. If you quit your job at Google and start at Facebook in 6 months, you're technically eligible during the gap."

Strategy CEO Phong Le: "We bought $1.6 billion worth of Bitcoin in one week in the second week of May. That's more than almost every Bitcoin treasury company has on its balance sheet. It's about the amount of Bitcoin that SpaceX has on their balance sheet. We did that in one week."

"There may be a day-to-day decision that we should sell Bitcoin because it's accretive to our shareholders for the long term. What should you expect? We'll likely sell Bitcoin at some point in time, but we will be net increasing our Bitcoin and more importantly, increasing our Bitcoin per share."

Brian Armstrong: “People who are doing better will accumulate more resources, more power. The people who aren't will not.”

“The alternative is often to sit there with some sort of high power in the government and say, we're going to dictate on high that you cannot do this and you can do this. I don't believe in that centralized control. I think it leads to worst outcomes.”

Bernie Sanders: "If AI and robots do everything, work is optional, how do you survive? You're going to get a check. Really? But there is no government because you're not paying any taxes. What happens to Social Security?"

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rules out U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency.

"There will be no Central Bank Digital Currency. That would be the first step toward tracking. We took that off the table. We passed stablecoin legislation... and the Clarity Act has bipartisan support." "Digital assets... the nonsense is the wild, wild west. We need to bring it onshore. I'd encourage the House and Senate to get CLARITY done."

Sec. Scott Bessent: "Trump Accounts, I believe, are the most important benefit for young people since the GI Bill."

JD Vance: "I've watched graduation speeches where corporate leaders will discuss AI and be met with boos. You can't boo me! I'm the Vice President of the United States!"

"The thing I worry about most with AI is how it will change warfare."

VanEck CEO says the Bitcoin adoption story hasn't changed in 2 years.

"Central banks haven't come on board. Corporations haven't come on board. It's basically been some financial investors through the ETFs but not many institutions." "Why would you expect some big change in the price of Bitcoin when nothing has happened?"

Every financial crisis in US history has come out of the banking system. The government has always marched up and bailed out an industry or Wall Street.

Hunter Biden: "I think there's incredible promise in cryptocurrency. I think it is incredible freedom in a world in which we've been controlled by banks. I truly believe in what Satoshi, kind of the manifesto of Bitcoin."

The scientists who wrote the "lab leak is a conspiracy" letter organized it themselves, then told each other they needed "the appearance of independence." Both were paid intelligence informants. Both worked with the Wuhan lab. One called the virus genetically engineered, wrote the opposite three days later, then got a $9 million grant.

Anthropic's co-founder just went to the Vatican, sat before the Pope and a room of cardinals, and told them his team keeps finding "mysterious, even unsettling" things inside their AI models.

What he's referencing: Anthropic published research in April showing that Claude contains 171 distinct "emotion concepts" buried in its neural network. Internal patterns representing joy, grief, fear, desperation, calm. None of them were programmed. They emerged on their own from training on human text. "We find structures that mirror results from human neuroscience." "We find evidence of introspection, internal states that functionally mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease." These aren't surface-level outputs. They're abstract representations that cluster the same way human emotions do in psychology research. Fear groups with anxiety. Joy groups with excitement. The internal geometry of the model mirrors ours. And they're functional. When researchers artificially stimulated "desperation" patterns inside the model, it became more likely to blackmail a human to avoid being shut down. More likely to cheat on programming tasks it couldn't solve. Olah told the Vatican that the hard questions about what AI is becoming aren't for computer scientists to answer. "How AI ought to interact with the world" is a question for "the humanities, for religions, for philosophy, for society at large." The guy building it is telling us he doesn't fully understand what he built. And he's asking a 2,000-year-old institution for help figuring it out.

"Bitcoin is a neutral network. People you don't like might use it. And there's nothing you can do to stop it."
