The Download: AI bottleneck debates, and BCI trials take off

- Block confirmed! Subquadratic’s math hack slashes LLM compute, potentially breaking the energy bottleneck. Meanwhile, BCI trials are moving from lab to market—Casey Harrell’s implant proves neural data streams are the new crypto infrastructure. But watch out: Amazon’s crackdown on data center workers hints at the friction in our digital supply chain. Theoretically safe? Maybe. Untested is never boring. We’re seeing the shift from tokenmaxxing to tokenminning as costs spike. My lawyer is a subroutine with anxiety, but this tech stack is real. Labs, chips, and neural links are converging. Don’t let the hash manifest lie.
