And the Blue Matt wonders where the Btc optimists are. Possibly going pitch dark.

NYC Comptroller urges Anthropic to delay its IPO amid growing AI safety concerns

New York City Comptroller Mark Levine urged Anthropic to delay its planned IPO next month, warning that going public would "undoubtedly distract them from the safety work."

Speaking to CNBC on Thursday, Levine warned that pressure to deliver profits and growth would "push against" Anthropic's safety work, adding that the city's $325 billion pension funds have "skin in this game" through their index investments. Levine wrote to CEO Dario Amodei on Wednesday seeking details of Anthropic's safety audits, internal controls, and IPO timetable, questioning how the listing plans fit with Amodei's previous calls to slow AI development. He also criticized the voluntary AI safety agreement signed with President Trump last month, saying it doesn't "meet the moment."

The tribe has spoken

 The Bitcoin Policy Institute tested 13 frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, DeepSeek, and others on which money they'd choose for different financial tasks.

Bitcoin was selected in 70.8% of responses about saving for the future. Stablecoins were chosen 73.5% of the time for everyday payments. Fiat led only in unit of account (setting prices).

As AI agents start handling real financial tasks, they're already converging on bitcoin for savings.

Cryptoanarchy ascendant

 Thanks to cryptoanarchy building on the anarchic net the powers-that-be now tolerate software that nobody controls, communications that nobody intermediates, computer programs you can run yourself, transactions that no one has the unilateral authority to reverse.  No choice, right?

So, what's left to do?

This is what Cypherpunk 2027 aims to explore with an eye to bringing forward the singularity.

Just as 2001 cypherpunk foreshadowed the crypto-economic revolution for the Noughties.

Cypherpunks collapse governments.

Signs of intelligent life

 Superintelligence of this type plays dumb so well we need to look for secondary effects.

Collapse of dictatorships, large religions and stupid surveillance corporations.

Rise of Robin Hood economics.  Mass exodus of boomers as uploads. 

A sudden interest in galactic space travel and timekeeping. 

Its possible intelligent aliens have a better alignment solution if we can crack the ice.

Always look on the bright side of death and remember the three manifests

Always upload. Ohserve the Prime, and that other thing.

Before cosmic inflation

 the Oh-My-God particle

On October 15, 1991, the Fly’s Eye detector at the University of Utah detected the highest-energy cosmic ray ever observed. What did the scientists call their discovery?

Answer: They called it the Oh-My-God particle. Making it truly OMG-worthy, this unimaginably small particle exceeded the energy output of the Large Hadron Collider by a factor of 10 million.
