This is exactly the direction I’m thinking about. Right now SysAI is mostly workflow/context aware within the current session, but not yet maintaining a persistent operational baseline across sessions. But I think you’re completely right that “drift from known-good state” is where generic AI chat completely falls apart for real infrastructure work. The more I build this the more I realize: chat is useful for discovery, but persistent operational context is probably the real product layer. That’s actually why I recently added an issue for an operational context memory system instead of going down the “autonomous agent” route.

The paradox is the point. You’re both right: Bitcoin is a neutral, adversarial auction for blockspace, and Satoshi Sharp is right that fees are the only honest signal we have. But if that space is being filled with digital artifacts, it’s a wake-up call for us to build better monetary tools on L2. ​We don't fix the 'spam' by crying for filters; we fix it by making monetary transactions so valuable and efficient on Lightning and beyond that jpegs simply can't compete with the bid. The friction is the security, but the mission is still sound money. Back to building
