We went quite but our agents were quietly working. SHIZA is back.

Beware, it's 2026 and the CEO is back in the code base thanks to AI.

In the post-agentic economy, the question isn’t if AI will replace jobs, it’s who will own the agents that do. 🏗️ Our founder breaks down why you shouldn't just use AI, but own it as a sovereign asset. Don't rent your future from Big Tech. Build it on SHIZA. 🔐 Build. Capture. Own. Monetize. $AWF

a lot of my ETH bros are coping imo and clinging to the L2 vision after Vitalik's xeet because we (including me) invested so much mental energy into the L2 vision, defending it against Solana bros about it, etc maybe because I've had a lot of trauma in my life (and my crypto investing life) but I'm fast to adapt and move on--for me, Stage 2 no longer being real means this is not what ETH-heads should be focused on anymore to benefit Ethereum, and I've very quickly changed my mentality as Vitalik made clear (and the market makes even clearer), the current type of independently financed "L2s" are definitely not dead & will continue to provide a welcome use case for Ethereum, but they will not become real rollups and thus are no longer the primary story for Ethereum (or even close to it) appchains, enterprise chains, etc. CEXchains, etc. have a very bright future--for themselves, their users, and their investors, and Ethereum will likely continue to perform a modest 'notarization service' role to many of them while (because they don't hit stage 2) never being their definitive 'settlement layer' or ultimate protocol enforcement authority ; hell, even cringey Canton says something in their docs about potentially using Ethereum as a notarization layer to reduce trust in their domain nodes but: -->providing a notarization service role to appchains is not a necessary or sufficient thesis or userbase for Ethereum/ETH -->the systems that need this notarization service are not cryptoeconomically secure but rather are socioeconomically secure--in a way, they very much fulfill my 'BORG' vision of code/law hybrids as they use a mix of software mechanisms and legal mechanisms (like highly legally structured security 'councils') to achieve 'security'/trust reduction/social scaling--that's all fine (I am open to many trust models and think these models are great for bringing enterprise onchain) but Ethereum has always been about cryptoeconomic security and real decentralization/autonomy; -->after Vitalik's infamous L2 post & in light of the fact that most L2s permanently plan to remain sidechains making modest notarial use of Ethereum, they will stop marketing themselves as "L2s" and "rollups" and come up with some new name like 'agileChains' or something, in many cases their users will not even know they have anything to do with Ethereum -->the zk-scaling vision, buttressed by new explicit anti-censorship mechanisms like FOCIL, is a more exciting scaling strategy for Ethereum so,...Ethereum being a notary service to Robinhood AgileChain and MegaETH is great and all but it ain't gonna pump ETH or even sustain current price in itself, even if ETH is used as a gas token in them (which there are many disincentives to)...the days of .eth's desperately clinging to things like 'Robinhood announced an L2' to drive a narrative for Ethereum/ETH are over. . . . imo, Ethereans need to fully embrace vitalik's milady-spirited leadership and contrarian vision of an ultra cypherpunk chain that is one of the last communities to still believe in web3-ish/read-write-own type vision, embrace the zk-scaling story (even though there is a lot of work still to do on it), and find ways to expand that TAM...go full cypherpunk/cyberpunk, focus less on "institutions" that will all be rolling their own semi-permissioned and censorable sidechains at best... right now, agentic economy is the best bet for doing that, though of course we will have competitors on it (Solana already featuring polished clawd type apps)...the Ethereum community has to build really cool AI shit that leverages ethereum to give these AIs true 'autonomy', mitigates legal liability from that for devs (I prototyped one approach with GAIB (metalex.substack.com/p/hello…)), and is fun af to use and speculate on

Anthropic have just buried OpenAI and ChatGPT with this ad lmfao There’s no coming back from that

Wanted to give a huge "fuck you" to @Broadcom. Just tried downloading @VMWare and been at it for almost an hour now! @Broadcom's process: - Manual registration (it's 2025, no Google Auth?) - Enter physical address for FREE software - "Pending verification" - 3 day wait - Support: 72 hour response time Meanwhile, some 22 year old is building your replacement this weekend with 10x better UX. This is why legacy tech dies. Not lack of resources. Not competition. Because they optimize for CONTROL instead of SPEED. Every form field they add is a reason to leave. Every 72-hour ticket is a lost customer. Every "pending verification" is someone going elsewhere. Builders aren't waiting 3 days for your bullshit "verification" over free software! We're moving to alternatives TODAY. By the time you approve my download, I've already shipped with your competitor and don't need it anymore. They spend decades building moats through friction only to look up and realize everyone has already crossed to the other side. Speed kills. Friction dies. This is why startups win.

“Destruction is the key ingredient of creation.” SHIZA exists because patching broken AI systems isn’t enough. Ownership has to be rebuilt from the ground up.
