Arguing for the Transdimensional Bloc

This essay argues that Elad Verbin's Dappcon talk, "Engineering CthulhuGPT: How To Out AI Onchain… And How It'll Bring The End Of Humanity," deserves serious engagement rather than dismissal, and that the author is not a decelerationist. The author says Verbin is excited about a future in which a sophisticated agent enters real-life scenarios, and that Verbin suggests the Bitcoin network is already a self-aware entity that outsources its growth and supply chain to humans. The author also states that AI risk cannot be "solved" under current understanding, and draws on Nick Land's remark that "the escape is not for us. It is from us."
