From DSLR camera to a global localised transfer grid for performance, blockchain for provenance tracking, through a user defined RAW image process including AI steps, then delivered to the user defined media destination. In the field it’s only camera and iPhone. From shot to platform it’s 20 seconds. More to come…

I can’t believe Bill Maher, who I love, would fall for the trap that factually narrating a meeting with a sociopath would be insightful and build a bridge from chaos to normal. As his guest said, and he didn’t like; you became a prop.

The financial world feels like a golf cart being driven by a senile old man chasing birds.

I think that the trans sport episode this week on John Oliver was one of the most amazingly well done stories I’ve seen. Of course he has his shouty style, but it was done with facts and compassion and was a real reset of reality.

BTC and ETH have both been debased by their USD exchange rate obsession which is actually antithetical to their purpose as alternative currencies. Fiat exchange debases crypto IMO. BUT, ERC20 on a blockchain can allow communities to create their own independent currencies interacting with other communities of value. The money revolution hasn’t started yet.

I’ve watched cnbc for years; I remember it well during the gfc crash and going outside in oz time thinking; the birds are still chirping. I saw Rick Santelli’s tea party rant that started it all. Now it looks like the hunger games and is actually fun. Andrew Ross Sorkin, Carl Quintanilla and Steve Leisman are going rogue with principles against the woke right crew while uselessly Kramer blows in the wind and Becky Quick/Hymen tries to be everyone’s friend. It’s the best series on tv.

I agree totally that left vs right is now a useless distinction relegated to the gray of social media shit storms. The correct filter of any argument is liberty vs authoritarian talk. Are you letting me be in peace to pursue my life my way within the law? Or are you using the law to tell me what to say, think or do?

For the first time in my life, polls are showing America is now feared in Australia as a bad actor more than Russia.

Totally recommend a re-watch of “Don’t look up”. It was slightly before its time; watch it now and it’s like a prophecy. They thought it was about climate change; it was really a documentary on people and politics.

I feel like I’m watching the outtakes of Weekend at Bernie’s, Wag the dog, Idiocracy, Being There, and Shooter, to name a few.

Had an opsec moment this week with a counterparty in a negotiation. They sent me a zoom invite and it’s there in black and white - AI transcription and summary. Fuck that. Setup a burner group call and called them on their cells.

The season finale of severance was awesome. Far better than the last episode of “murica” with all the bad actors and bad plot lines when the last episode jumped the shark 😂

@dwr.eth The instant recovery of the iPhone warpcast app with face id after a new phone when the old man lost his is awesome. Well done!

I was privileged to spend yesterday in the paddock and do a full practice season in the AM garage listening in on the radios. Thanks to everyone there for making me feel like family and giving me a truly extraordinary experience.

I’ve started sending eviction notices this week to American politics; and am cleaning house. I’m sick of it living rent free in my head.

Question 1. Part 2. My second job was my first job in finance. I was hired to research the use of neural networks in trading. I did write a derivatives basket pricing optimiser, but the business lost interest. I was out of a job but I met the head of funds management marketing who put me on the grad program at 26 and also gave me a project to try to get data out of the mainframe finance system into a sql database. I successfully wrote that system single handledly which then leads to the next question I got.
