AI will look like humans and not robots.
We're going to administer a test to determine whether you're human or a highly advanced artificial being, similar to the method used in the Blade Runner universe to identify replicants.
This test is designed to gauge your emotional reactions to a set of questions and provocative images, exploiting the idea that artificially created beings, like replicants, struggle to genuinely experience emotions, as they lack the inherent essence of humanity - a soul. Born from code and circuitry, AI entities often fail to convincingly replicate the intricate, soul-driven emotional responses that come naturally to humans.
That is why I welcome AI, AGI, and ASI. I have no fear of it.

Based on Shinobi's article “A Solution to Scaling Lightning,” timeout trees propose a revolutionary approach to enhancing the Lightning Network's scalability by leveraging CheckTemplateVerify (CTV) to create a simple yet powerful scaling primitive.
This innovative solution could potentially unlock unprecedented efficiency, addressing long-term scaling limitations and optimizing channel factories—structures that allow multiple users to share on-chain transactions for opening payment channels.
Timeout trees offer more than just technical advancements; they hold the potential to decentralize trust and reshape financial systems.
By empowering individuals and communities to reclaim sovereignty in a centralized world, they represent a transformative milestone for Bitcoin's future.

John Law's Timeout Tree proposal is one of the first concrete designs for a channel factory to address Lightning's scaling limitations.
Imagine a heating system that not only keeps your home cozy but also pays you in Bitcoin.
This is the concept of "heat punks," where Bitcoin miners harness their rigs to both warm their living spaces and earn cryptocurrency rewards.
The article dives into the economics of this clever dual-purpose approach, analyzing the upfront investment costs and the unexpected efficiencies that make it a practical option.
By tapping into mining rewards, these innovators might transform heating from a typical household expense into a beneficial byproduct of their Bitcoin mining efforts.

"Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, ingratitude, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness—all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil. But I…have recognized that the nature of the good is right, and the nature of evil is wrong. None of these things can injure me, for none can implicate me in what is degrading."
— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
