Didn’t need AI

The colours are not single colours. The image has pixels of differing colours (fabric is prob the same with multi colours. You can see that if you have a decent monitor.

The brightness/contract of the screen and the colour responsiveness of the screen will affect what you see let alone any bias in perceptions.

There is blues of various shades and we see slightly blue light as pure white since we are trained since birth due to the natural light has a component of blue in it.

So with all the shades of blue, many perceived often as white and the gold shades from extremely dark to semi bright, coming through on various monitors and room lighting we see the array of colours in the image differently.

The so called analysis by those “experts” as to the type of person you are amount to the feel good messages and are meaningless as to your attitudes and personality. Its a play on light.

If you want evidence of what I say then pull the image into a video editor and look at the pixels and underlying array of colours and brightness of them.

The Fabric is blue and black only which I was relieved to hear when I found out. Lots of people see different colours when looking on the same screen so that rules that explanation out. I found this that says it’s more to do with the brain than the eye.

hmmm, well I doubt it could be worse than Wikipedia.

Saw this on the Discord. This is huge news.

Ive just spent 30 mins consuming AI slop on twitter. Sora from openai.

Most worrying is the perfect fake news examples. Clearly stupid stories to make the point that we’ve just crossed over a line.

Kids living in their parents basement are about to launch propaganda campaigns.

This fragment is very important for the development of Autonomi in the context of launching a native token:

Peirce said that DePIN tokens “are functional incentives designed to encourage infrastructure buildout” and are not shares in a company, nor promise profits from the effort of others that would see them captured under securities laws.

“These projects allocate tokens as compensation for work performed or services rendered, rather than as investments with an expectation of profit from the entrepreneurial or managerial efforts of others,” she explained.

“Treating such tokens as securities would suppress the growth of networks of distributed providers of services.”

Peirce said that blockchain technology can’t reach its full potential if regulators “force all activities into existing financial market regulatory frameworks.”

It’s a massive invasion of privacy. If you state it in equivalent real world terms, non digital, they want permission to enter your home, stamp in boot prints in to your carpet, empty out your filing cabinet and look at your personal documents and photos.

Who do they think we are?

They think you are their slaves. And if you use their fiat currencies when they counterfeit it and tax you - aka taking a huge chunk of your labor through fraud and force, then they aren’t 100% wrong.

That doesn’t make it right of course. But people need to wake up - because Statism only concentrates in power until it’s overthrown or otherwise collapses. We are at the end of the building of this new great pyramid … one thing or another is going to happen here because the ponzi has peaked - incomes can no longer support the rate of new currency issuance needed to grow the pyramid, yet old loans will continue to be paid off - meaning deflationary collapse. The governments know this and so are looking for any means left to grab every bit of wealth they can before collapse.

It’s ugly, but don’t look away from it. Investigate, question, challenge.

Good for AUTONOMI, still bad for Native Token, as the main problem is NT being potentially seen as a privacy currency, and that’s still a threat.

Well, not really, this is very good news for NT, it is clearly stated:

Generally speaking, a DePIN token is a utility token used for settlements within a specific network, while a widely traded cryptocurrency (such as BTC) functions primarily as a medium of exchange or value-generating asset. The SEC clearly distinguishes DePIN tokens from traditional securities, recognising them as incentive tools for infrastructure development.

Agreed. It gives us the regulatory green light as it clearly defines DePin tokens as tools for infrastructure not speculation. It appears that bootstrapping on Arbitrum for liquidity and then pivoting to a privacy-optimized chain may be the wisest move. A blockchain-based privacy token that enables smart contracts and is optimized for DePin and DeFi would be a game-changer. It seems like forking existing tech that allows for privacy, gives us compliance tools and features that allow us access to CEXs like CoinBase and Kraken might be the best way to approach this. Note that DoubleZero—the project that the No-Action Letter was sparked by—launched their main net today and is already at #54 on CMC with a market cap just north of $2B…

I’m not sure if I understand correctly, do you mean creating a native token on the blockchain? The whole deal is that NT is supposed to be an integral part of the network and must naturally operate based on the Autonomi protocol, so that NT would be applicable as a DePIN according to the SEC’s interpretation.

Or do you mean something else?

Getting out from under the SEC is good, but the tokens and transactions using them is still taxable under IRS rules.

If we can get there with non-blockchain, that’s great. It’s the privacy element and exchange listings that remain problematic. DePin may be green lit but full anonymity without auditability is a non-starter.
