decode(); deploy(); disrupt();
For eighty years, the most powerful technologies have required concentration: co-located machines in fortress datacenters, tightly controlled by those who could afford the infrastructure. This week's research breakthrough from Templar marks something different, a technical path toward intelligence as genuinely distributed public infrastructure, where your home GPU can train frontier models alongside Google's datacenters.

Why I'm Exiting DEUS at TGE: When Sophisticated Structure Meets Questionable Economics
A critical analysis of XMAQUINA's three-entity legal framework and why governance rights ≠ ownership. After reading their own documentation, I'm selling at Token Generation Event.
The Second Crypto War: A Private Ethereum
In 1988, Tim May predicted encrypted systems would 'alter completely the nature of government regulation.' In 1993, Eric Hughes declared 'Cypherpunks write code.' Thirty years later, developers are going to prison for doing exactly that. But something is shifting—Vitalik is building privacy wallets, Naval is calling Zcash 'insurance against Bitcoin,' and a team of physicists just launched the first fully decentralized private blockchain. The cypherpunks are fighting back.
Vote No on BOT-08: We Must Not Fund the Weaponization of Humanoid Robotics
The XMAQUINA DAO faces a defining vote. BOT-08 proposes investing $203,500 in Foundation Robotics—the only U.S. humanoid company openly building killer robots. This isn't just about financial returns. It's about whether we become complicit in the militarization of robotics. I'm urging my fellow DAO members to vote no.
AI and the War Machine
Dario Amodei's October 2025 statement on 'American AI Leadership' strips away any remaining pretense that centralized AI development serves universal human welfare. Instead, it reveals the naked truth: AI monopolies are aligning with military-industrial interests and nationalist agendas.
The Long Run: What Running Taught Me About Building Decentralized AI (and What Decentralized AI Taught Me About Running)
Three years ago, I wouldn't have believed I'd be training for a half marathon while helping coordinate a decentralized AI protocol. But both journeys—the solo morning miles and the collective effort to democratize artificial intelligence—are guided by the same philosophy.
