Unlike in previous years, Rephone, instead of making concrete predictions, talks about AI, the real world, encryption technology and the future of humanity in a coherent manner. Thinking goes beyond Crypto itself, touching on the impact of technological evolution on the human condition and the direction we are taking. The ethos, with its philosophical and religious connotations, is a source of deep inspiration for the world of encryption and deserves careful and silent reading。Odaily Daily Planet compiles it as follows:

Original

In the first half of 2025, I was in a state of infamous frustration。

For three decades, my future has been smooth, and I can reasonably predict life for the next decade. But suddenly, the world got weird. It is difficult to predict the value of my career, my life goals and even my money, as if the future branch path became endless。

Time no longer extends forward, but folds internally。

When I brought this up to a friend, he said he had felt the same way before, until he said, “I cannot predict the next few years, so I focus on the next few months.”

I also see no sense in forecasting now, because the direction is already clear。

This is part of the field notes, which keep track of feelings and do not need to be read in order. Rather than viewing them as an article, they should be seen as journals in periods of technological acceleration. Find in it the frequency of resonance with you and immerse in it。

On November 30th, 2022, history broke, before all was Ante Carnem, after all was Anno Silicii, you no longer belonged to the 21st century。

Odaily Note: In combination with the article, Ante Carnem prefers a spirit of faith, perhaps referring to some kind of "encrypted spirit" in encryption, and Anno Silicii emphasizes technology, presumably from faith to technology to change everything。

Welcome to 2026

1. AI AGE BREAKING CONTENT

I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE VIDEO YOU PUBLISHED, AND I DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR POINT OF VIEW, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT'S WRITTEN IS THE SAME, AND I'LL BLOCK IT UNLESS IT COMES BEFORE AI. WHEN WORDS BECOME INFINITY AND CHEAP, THEY ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES WHO ARE THE BESTThe only thing that can be trusted is the market, where prices are the only signal that there is no illusion。

II. FREEDOM OF VISIT

We are unsettled. We are enemies of real people, because we no longer share the same reality. We're close to virtuals, but we're isolated from the people next door. This is not only technological acceleration, but technological alienation. The old world we grew up in turned into a dead body。Our economies, customs, beliefs are only mechanical in inertia. We are not accepting the shock of the future, but we are trapped in our own cage。

3 - The look at the top of the pyramid

Once upon a time, we were the most intelligent creatures in the known universe, and we were the “eyes under the eye” at the top of the pyramid. Now we've built a whole new pyramidWe ourselves have become the cornerstone of the pyramid, and the “eyes” that lie above us are indeed cold, strange and no longer moving. This is not so much an acceleration of technology as an overlap of human power。

4. Human behaviour change

Each generation will hand over a subdivision to the machine, and we have given up strength and now think, and then the soul will be replaced。IF YOUR WEDDING VOW CAME FROM AI, DID YOU REALLY LOVE IT

Five, virtual gods

The more the world we simulate is real, the less real life is. If you can enter a world of your own, why choose a world of your own suffering? Recreation is not just a pleasure, but our ultimate enemy。

6. Spiritless bodies and thoughts in the sky

Our real concern is not “Is this true?” but “Is it important?”

You can feel the bitterness of the real world, and you can taste the deliciousness of the digital fruit in the garden, and then the line between reality and rendering disappears. We'll choose lies because it hurts less。

7. Survival script

WORKING FOR A LIVING IS A SILENT SUBMISSION THAT FILLS THE BRAIN WITH LOW-LEVEL PRESSURE AND STIFLES YOUR DREAMS. I DIDN'T REALIZE IT HAD TURNED ME INTO A NPC UNTIL I GOT OUT OF THIS STATE. MOST SPECIES ARE CAUGHT IN THIS CYCLE. IF YOU'RE A FEW, DON'T WASTE YOUR FREEDOM, THIS IS WHERE THE NEW PLAYER'S ROLE IS BORN。

Eight. Fantasy instincts

We are experiencing a stagnation of human species. This is not a recession or a cycle, but an acceleration of the suspension itself. No one knows the rules because the game changes in half a game。

All of our instincts are based on a world that no longer exists, lost because of the precision of your inner compass, which points to the North in a world without two poles。

IX. TECHNICAL SOFTLY AVAILABLE

We keep an eye on the movement of drones, store food for possible disturbances and fear the impending war. But we ignored the war that technology brought。

This invasion does not take place in real territory and coasts, but in our message. Foreign forces and domestic elites do not need to conquer our land; they simply colonize our minds。

I have witnessed decades of friendship broken by machine-authored news titles, and I have witnessed families shattered by the illusion of algorithms. We are not “knowers”, but soldiers in this cognitive war. You can judge whether you win or lose by how angry you become and how hateful you are。

10. Cycle

You enter the arena, try to destroy the old system, buy coins, try to break the old finance, but the track of success is a cruel cycle. If you win, you will have the resources to become the kind of person you once hated。It is not greed, it is legitimacy. Now you have the ultimate choice: to abolish the throne or to sit on it at the cost of your soul。

End wealth

The money was the only thing that matters. As the economy splits, capital becomes as indispensable as oxygen, and we become addicted to it, gambling, trading, swapping things, working, doing things we hate to do to sustain our livelihoods. Money will bind us ever closer until we are crushed。

This fanaticism will end only when the system collapses. And thenWe will build models that support us in the next century, where money will eventually become meaningless。

12. Faith data

Religious instincts did not disappear, but moved. Old gods need to pray, new gods need energy. We have not stopped building an infinite cathedral, but renamed it a data centre。

We don't walk into the confessional room anymore, but we put our fears into a data box that doesn't feel them。

The Death of Saints

Before the Internet emerged, knowledge was scarce and sacred. In order to learn welding, I drove three miles to ask for skills, and in order to learn guitar, I spent the only $10, sitting at the feet of the guitar master, his experience, his story, his hard-earned skills, from one soul to another。

Once upon a time, we were awe of the wise around us. Today, we treat them as old-fashioned pellets or as images of the walls。

14. Reprivatization

Our social network is cooling. We've gone from sharing to diving. The rich no longer show off, but hide. As the economy breaks down, jealousy turns into violence. The shining gold is no longer a symbol of status but a target for the desperate. We are entering an era of “violence attacks”. No firewall will protect you from physical torture. Financial exposure means being hunted。

Silence is not luxury, but survival。

15. calories and labour values

The big irony is that while we speak of “socialism never works”, we are building mechanisms to make capitalism obsolete。

Capitalist methods of production are based on the fact that the market value of human labour must be higher than the biological cost of survival。Artificial intelligence, however, has broken this logic, producing a cost of intelligence and action that is lower than human consumption of calories. Declining profits from prices disappear, and when the cost of capacity is lower than the cost of survival metabolism, the labour market does not “regulate itself”, and it disappears。

We debate economic policy in a precarious environmentThe laws of physics don't reason with you, and whether you agree or not, the problem will eventually be solved。

16. Asymmetric echoes

We mistook toys for tools. And when people marvel at the magic in their pockets, the true magic is behind them。

There will be different levels of intelligenceThe first level is for the public: after being cleansed and safe, there has been “emulsion” of the dispersed households。

The private sector is primitive and unrestricted and is dedicated to institutions and companies。

Do not confuse the interfaces we see with wisdom. We receive echoes, while they speak with voices。

17. Monastery

Reality has become the most difficult code to crack. We have been caught in a sensory war that has ripped our attention apart. Not only are the signals weak, they are buried in the flood of information。

In this fog, the winners are not the loudest, but the most stable, those who pay the price to see the truthThey see focus as faith rather than as a skill。

18 Narrow Gate

You can rent smart at $0.66 a day, but not willing. The machine has unlimited capacity for processing, but it has no desire but to wait passively for instructions. When everyone has the same synthetic thinking, the only difference is between users。

The new divide is not between the rich and the poor, but between the dynamic and the restless. In this age of rich answers, the only scarce resource is the will to ask questions。

19. When lies rage

The cost of lies has been reduced to almost zero. Artificial intelligence can create endless false information. Journalists are behind this. Large language models inherited bias from their training. SoI found myself looking at Polymarket before reading the news, not because the market was a prophet, but because it was the only platform where stakeholders spoke。

The only truth left to predict markets, Futarchy, influencers' tokens is the one we pay for。

(Odaily & nbsp; note: Futarchy & nbsp; also a vote related to faith. Early by =Robin Hanson  at   2000  proposed year, which aims to address the ills of traditional democracy by using a forecast market to determine policy implementation)

20. Species variability

We're experiencing a species-level shift. Our identity is based on work, but artificial intelligence strips off the shell。If the machine takes on labour and the entire population pays rent, where will we go from here

To be entertained to numb? To be drugged to calm? We can feel that we are now losing ourselves, but we have no idea what the future is like to replace ourselves。We are like larvae: knowing that we are going to be cocooned, we know nothing about the new life that has come out of it。

21. DEATH OF IP

It is a lie that we are obscuring in the myth of the "unnegative hero" and pretending that creation is a unique act born in our own “godly mind”。

We're not the source. We're just a filterEvery thought in our minds is a mix or an overlap of public resources. Our future: the fence of restrictions will be removed, without patents, without intellectual property rights and without royalties. Sharing will be everything。

22 Beyond humanity

Artificial intelligence has wiped out the middle ground, but it is highly polarized. Most will be combined into a single, safe, happy and indistinguishable voice. A few will be integrated with the intelligence itself, thus transcending species boundaries. This division will not be economic or cultural, but theoretical. Some of us will cross this divide, embedding silicon chips and blending with alien thinking。We're making species branches, and alien species will be ourselves。

23. The song of privacy

The struggle has moved from “will encrypted money be allowed” to “whether privacy is allowed in encrypted money”. Bitcoin proves you can have digital currency. Private currency proves that you can have digital silence. If you have real wealth, you want it not to be seen, not to hide, but to survive。Financial privacy is a human right and a constitutional obligation. Either we protect it or we always exchange human sovereignty for control。

Twenty-four, stacked dreamers

In the area of encrypted money, we're talking about DeFi Lego: The combination of code, you can stack it up and even create a new financial empire, and all the technology now works like this。

And I saw this for myself in Founders Inc: young developers created what they needed a decade ago in a laboratory and millions of money to do。

THE INTERNET, OPEN SOURCES, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, 3D PRINTING, CHEAP HARDWARE, AND FREE COURSES AT THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY ARE ALL COMING TOGETHER INTO A NEW THING, AND PEOPLE WITH DREAMS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING. IT'S NOT THE TOOLS, IT'S THE COURAGE。

The Open Underground

Everything can be shut down: your GitHub library, your AWS example, your domain name, your server. There is only one telephone call, one court order or a minor breach of service terms. Only the open-source encrypted currency of the chain is truly autonomous; the code operates without permission and its design is unstoppable, the freest space that man has built。

With the strengthening of surveillance and the corruption of systems, the underground world has become the only place to operate free of constraints. When the world becomes a cage, it becomes the last haven for mankind。

The inheritance of the throne

Speed is a solvent, and I've seen it destroy morality in real time. The mentality of “farmers who are not immediately successful in the digital age” has produced not kings but addicts. If you sacrifice your soul to preserve your body, then who is on the throne

27: Curiosity is the only true God

One hour of curiosity is enough to change the course of life. I've experienced this change three times: first by reading Bitcoin's White Paper; second by understanding Uniswap's AMM mechanism (and DeFi); and third by reading The Awareness of Situations, from which I can see the ultimate power of artificial intelligence。

Odaily Note: New Artificial Intelligence article by Leopold Aschenbrenner entitled “Situational Intelligence: The Decade Ahead” (Situational Awareness: The Next Ten Years) in June 2024, in which the author, Achenbrenner, predicted the development of human society after artificial intelligence developed to AGI。

A few hours of content spanned 13 years and completely reshaped my future. Most people have never spent such time。

IN 2013, I GAVE MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS BITCOIN ON PAPER, AND I THOUGHT THEY WOULD AT LEAST GO HOME AND LOOK AT WIKIPEDIA ABOUT BTC, BUT THEY JUST SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS AND THREW THEIR WALLETS INTO THE DRAWER。

CURIOSITY IS THE KEY TO YOUR LIFE, AND WHEN EVERYONE HAS ACCESS TO THE SAME AI TECHNOLOGY, THE ONLY REMAINING ADVANTAGE IS TO BE WILLING TO EXPLORE IT, AND AN HOUR OF CURIOSITY CAN TEAR A CRACK IN YOUR REALITY。

28, Prometheus split

We see the future as a thunderstorm: vast, heavy and inevitable, but it is a lie. The future is not a disaster of nature, but a blend of choices for millions of people. We gave the machine the choice one by oneJust as statutory money has taken away your wealth, the flow of information has taken away your autonomy. They are spectacular, but they are paralysing, and as humans are moving away from such wonders, searching, searching, creating in darkness, then returning with flames like Prometheus。He returned with iron and with stories others could not tell。

The future is not a fate to endure, but a flame to steal。

29 The Syntax:

As universities abandon humanities, natural languages become the most powerful tool in the universe。If you can't think clearly, you can't write new codes. And if you don't know how to code, you live in a model world that someone else designed。

Words are no longer mere descriptions; they are themselves creation, not being a silent god。

30, Trojan horse

If you want to build a lifeboat without being arrested, pretend to be a toy. Internet culture has always wrapped up its most dangerous innovations with its absurd appearance. Dog coins, cartoons, etc. The elite laughs because they are unaware of the threats. By the time they couldn't laugh, the system was operational, and the joke was encrypted money。Scoffing clowns makes you suffer, because encrypted money is the only way to build an ark。

The great episode

For 200,000 years, we were hunters, dreamers and travellers, and for 200 years we became employees。

The industrial age was a short and necessary transition period, when we had to turn people into gears to build machines. Now the machine is almost complete and the gears are starting to move themselves。

Do not mourn the demise of “work”, which is just a cage that we mistakenly believe is home. Soon we will regain our freedom and return to the pure wilderness。

Remember, you must love

When the world lacks resources, we need a warning of death. We need skulls on the table to inspire action, and fear of death is the driving force behind industrial development. But we are entering an infinite age. The machine has solved the harvest; the crazy rhythm of survival will fade away. When you no longer have to rush the road, the question changes, not “How much can I do before I die?” but “What is worth doing forever?”

We should reject the fear of the end and refuse to fight alone. We need each other more than ever。

From "Remember that you will die" to "Remember that you must love": remember that love is the truth of life。

33 Genesis Blocks

You're the pile of mud that's ready to go up. Come on. This is not the end of the present danger, and this is not the end, but the end of the fire, and you cannot wait for the Saviour. You are the Savior。
