new, on the site which must not be named: something different, reading out a collection of theoryfic vignettes "Scenes from a Memorypool" derived from @0xsalon.bsky.social theatre project "The Black Hole of Money". Recorded with zkAVclub a few months ago in Buenos Aires.

Read books written by our speakers. 🌟"Open swords software" essay by @wassimulacrum.bsky.social x @aksiomaorg.bsky.social ✨"Decolonizing Money" by Julio Linares [@plutopress.bsky.social] 🔥"Blockchain Radicals" by @tbsocialist.bsky.social [@repeaterbooks.bsky.social]

atmospheric computing manifesto is good, but there are so many things it can pull from sapphirepunk, by @wassimulacrum.bsky.social and co., given it’s cryptographic roots. atproto already has good alignment, but lacks the politics sapphirepunk spells out so wonderfully. sapphirepunk.com

a talk from last spring's Vienna Digital Culture Festival just went online, on technocapital utopias and their reactionary shadows youtu.be/yQX-7LSqLaY?...

two-part preview of my Open Swords Software essay, soon published by Aksioma, are up on the 'sztac. Here's a bit about pirates: wassimalsindi.substack.com/i/183777694/...

the year, in review:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again

Just published: I have a collection of speculative fiction vignettes entitled "Love Language Models" in the first publication by Posthuman Press. Some clippings in this and following tweets.

I would pay any amount of money to watch "tech oligarchs in the Cairo airport terminal 1 passport queue"

thank you! if you're interested, sapphirepunk is also included in an upcoming text on Open Swords Software, published by @aksiomaorg.bsky.social : aksioma.org/are-you-a-so... and in this text by co-author Sasha Shilina : substack.com/home/post/p-...

I contributed "Open Swords Software" which charts the inversion of the technolibertarian dream into systems of enclosure.

just dropped on the 'sztac, free to read: "Inside the Dark Ages of Blockchain Governance, Pt 1" wassimalsindi.substack.com/p/inside-the... Far from transcending the flaws of human governance, blockchain networks have mirrored the very structures they sought to dismantle. Have we learned anything?

Very pleased to write for Tribune about games and the radical imagination in a moment of gamified capitalism (and its fascist nightmares), w. words about Billionaires & Guillotines, the game I've made with @plutopress.bsky.social which you can help us crowdfund now. tribunemag.co.uk/2025/04/radi...
