Huge thanks to @queenofcyan and everyone who came out to the first Los Angeles Bitcoin Mint Event last night. This meetup was a bit of a social experiment. We started this to see if we can make that art can subvert the algorithmic traps of the digital matrix. A thread 🧵
Congrats to @JohnLukeGilbert on last nights great talk and first meetup in Frogtown 🐸 Looking forward to the next!

So true. Still waiting on the nothing ever happens chud to make his scheduled appearance on the timeline. Not saying none of these vulnerabilities exist. It's just when reality fails to meet the doomer hype, everyone hops on the everything is fake bandwagon and moves on to the next engagement cycle.
So….The PHP vulnerability is a legitimate concern, but watching X turn it into an impending internet apocalypse is also concerning. The algorithm keeps feeding people variations of the same story until repetition starts looking like confirmation. Suddenly everyone has a source in Silicon Valley, the internet is supposedly getting shut down, and every new post feels like another development… There’s a massive difference between a serious security vulnerability and evidence of an actual catastrophe unfolding. At some point, we’re not watching the crisis escalate. We’re watching the algorithm escalate our perception of it.

The ability to cash your money out of a system that rapidly depreciates it, tracks you, and exposes you to AI and quantum hacks is about to become paramount. Digital and materialized bitcoin fixes this.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

“These AI hacks are going to come for everyone. They already are… It's just that Bitcoin is the ideal thing to target because it's open source and it's money.” @realizingerin called it on TFTC three weeks ago. This week an AI-found PHP flaw knocked government websites offline.

If privacy is crypto's last narrative, it's cooked. Nobody actually cares about their privacy. We all should. We just don't. Also, I love how Haseeb just kind of glosses over the most controversial part of this talk: namely, that he no longer believes in crypto as the rails for the agentic economy. If that's the case, crypto is double-cooked. Add quantum to that... Why am I still holding?..
I was wrong. Agents don't need crypto. It's us humans who do. I break down what the industry got wrong in my @token2049 talk, Agents + Crypto: What's Real and What's Cope 👇

It's always inspiring to see creatives projecting deeper intentions into their work than the typical low effort "art"
