The biggest threat to Google's ad business isn't Meta or Apple. It's a man with a text editor who doesn't even accept donations 🤯 Meet Raymond Hill. > Nobody knows his real face. > Nobody knows his background. > Goes by "gorhill" online. That's it. > In 2014 quietly built an ad blocker. Alone. > No team. No funding. No company. Just code. > Called it uBlock Origin. > Free. Open source. No strings attached. > Every other ad blocker was taking money from advertisers. > Letting "acceptable ads" through for a fee. > He refused. Completely. 💀 > People tried to donate. He said no. > Companies tried to buy him out. He said no. > Brave offered to bring him on. He said no. > Said accepting money in any form could compromise him. > So he just... kept building. For free. For years. > Grew to 40 million users across Chrome and Firefox. > Became the most popular Firefox extension in history. 🚀 > Then Google came for him. > Manifest V3 — a Chrome update that quietly gutted ad blockers. > Every major ad blocker bent the knee and adapted. > He refused. Said the new system was fundamentally inferior. > Google removed uBlock Origin from Chrome. Entirely. > He didn't beg. Didn't negotiate. Didn't compromise. > Just told everyone switch to Firefox. > Mozilla then made a mistake reviewing his extension. > Disabled it over false claims. > He publicly proved every claim wrong. Line by line. > Then pulled the extension himself. On his own terms. > Fought Google. Fought Mozilla. Both times alone. > Still maintains the project today. Still unpaid. > Still refuses every dollar sent his way. > Said "It stopped being a hobby when it felt like a tedious job. So I made it mine again." > No money. No team. No name. Just took on trillion-dollar Google and made them blink The trillion-dollar ad empire is genuinely scared of one developer with a text editor Absolute Legend 🗿 🔥

In an interview with Lex Friedman, Musk said that after 2027 there would be no going back. When the reporter clarified what he meant, Musk paused for almost a minute, then added: “It’s not a catastrophe, it’s a transition.” Analysts have identified three themes that he has been particularly vocal about: autonomous intelligence, loss of meaning, and energy dependency. Everything he predicted is already happening. The first sign is the collapse of attention. Musk said that people will stop thinking long-term. The planning horizon has shrunk from 30 years to three; people don’t build, they just innovate. MIT research shows that the generation born after 2000 has an attention span of just eight seconds. Musk called this cultural Alzheimer’s. The second sign is artificial intelligence, which will no longer be subordinate. Musk said: “When the system starts correcting the person, and not the other way around, linear logic will end.” Algorithms already control our attention, choice of partners, food and thoughts. This will not be a revolt of machines, but a silent loss of freedom of choice. The third sign is the energy dependence of civilization. People are increasingly unable to survive without electricity for even a single day. When energy becomes currency, its control will become power. Musk believes that by 2027, the relationship between people and energy will surpass everything, and everything that is not autonomous will disappear. There is only one way out: a return to meaning. “Technology is stronger than us, but not smarter. As long as we have goals, we are not algorithms,” Musk repeated. He added: “We must learn to be human before systems start doing everything for us and controlling us👌 downloaded👇🏻 @Endendini1

This prediction is 200 years old…

Tip:

The release of #DeepSeek could shake up the market this week, raising serious questions about the sustainability of recent AI-driven gains. $NVDA, the backbone of AI hardware and infrastructure, now faces a tough reality—DeepSeek’s tech may reduce the demand for their hardware, leaving them and the big 7 US tech companies overvalued and exposed to corrections. #Bitcoin stays unaffected fundamentally, but miners might even find new opportunities with spare data center capacity. $BTC took a dip (as the main market trading over the weekend), reflecting broader market adjustments ahead of the US stock market opening. For long-term holders, this could be the strategic buying opportunity you’ve been waiting for to get in again below $100k. Buckle up. Diamond hands. 💎 🙌

🇺🇸🇨🇳 Imagine diversifying your #Bitcoin mining operation into AI data centers, only for China to unveil DeepSeek and prove they can run AI on GPUs entirely. It’s like reversing $BTC mining away from ASICs. 🤔

No, @elonmusk, the UN 🇺🇳 and its organizations such as WFP would never open source their accounting, because then you would realize that ~80% of the budget is wasted on bureaucracy and incompetence.

@DrEliDavid But it must be open source accounting, so the public sees precisely how the money is spent.

DeFi makes the front page of the @WSJ

Well. Crypto's crashed quite a bit in the past few days, leading up to a GIANT crash (BTC touched sub-$30k!) a few hours ago. It's ticked back up somewhat since, and started bouncing around a bit. What happened? A thread about lemons and lemonade.
