There is low-level programming, high-level programming, and AI-level programming. - Balaji Srinivasan

If a country stay smalls to remain true to its roots, it eventually gets absorbed by an empire.

Conversely, if a country plays for empire, and truly achieves world domination, it absorbs so many that its subjects eventually outnumber the imperial core. And thus the empire, too, loses touch with its roots.

Stay small and get conquered.
Get big and get diluted.

AI doesn’t do it end-to-end.
It does it middle-to-middle.
The new bottlenecks are prompting and verifying.

When fiat is inflated it slowly goes to zero.
When it is frozen it temporarily goes to zero.
And when it is seized it instantly goes to zero.
But hard money cannot be inflated, frozen, or seized.
