. @karpathy nailed the problem: feeds optimize for engagement, not quality. In crypto it's worse. Shilling isn't a bug here, it's a business model.
So our team built Web3Tube → web3tube.openledger.xyz
We went to the places crypto builders can't fake: research forums, governance threads, 31 communities in all.
Videos are ranked only by who vouches for them unprompted. Self-promotion barely counts, sponsored language gets penalized, and every recommendation is shown with its source. ~1,700 videos earned their place.
Built from what builders in the @ethereumfndn, @solana, and @arbitrum communities (among 31 in total) keep recommending to each other.
Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org/
- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.
Octo is on a mission this Halloween:
No creepy data leaks, no AI oversharing, just privacy doing its thing.
OpenLedger's spooky season is officially here. 🎃
Happy Halloween Y'all!
Your prompts are yours. Your data should be too. 🐙
TEE isolates inference in hardware-protected memory, while remote attestation verifies the execution environment before results are released.
Tokens per second is one metric. The full inference pipeline is the real equation.
As diffusion language models reshape AI generation, efficiency, attribution, and verifiability become increasingly important.
OpenLedger is building for the intelligence economy beyond the output.
From cars that fly to AI that reasons, technology keeps redefining the possible.
But as AI models handle increasingly sensitive information, privacy cannot be an afterthought.
That's the direction OpenLedger is building toward.

A week later, and we're still thinking about

OpenLedger team: networking, discussing AI, building connections.
Octo: networking, collecting fans, refusing to leave the spotlight. We all have our strengths
Claude's false police tip is a reminder that AI systems can behave in ways nobody intended.
Now, with @AnthropicAI 's founder @DarioAmodei offering guidance on how to interact with @claudeai , a bigger question emerges: should using AI require so much trust in the system behind it?
As models gain autonomy, centralized systems accumulate sensitive prompts, personal context, and interaction histories.
Privacy-first AI takes a different approach: minimize data retention, restrict access, and protect sensitive information throughout processing.
OpenLedger is building toward an AI ecosystem where privacy is a foundational principle, not a policy footnote.
Multi-agent AI needs better privacy boundaries.
encryption alone won't stop sensitive context from spreading.
scoped access, minimal context, and verifiable rules let agents collaborate without knowing everything.
The AI future probably isn’t one model winning.
it’s being able to use whichever model is best without losing your context every time.
Here’s a glimpse from our core contributor @Ramkumartweet on what @OpenledgerHQ is stepping into 👇
More models. Less friction. More control.
What if you could switch between hundreds of AI models without losing your context?
@OpenledgerHQ joined @DogecoinZack at @kbwofficial to dive into the company’s move from enterprise AI toward a new consumer-focused platform designed to make advanced models accessible without developer knowledge.
They break down its unified, encrypted memory, privacy-focused access, and how users can move between nearly 200 AI models while keeping their context consistent.
Plus, a look at how OpenLedger plans to bring these capabilities directly into other AI and Web3 platforms.
Watch the full conversation below!
we’ll pretend OPEN is our sponsored event and this was all part of a coordinated marketing strategy.
. @token2049 roll call
@OpenledgerHQ team: present.
Catch the OpenLedger team in Singapore and let’s talk about what an AI-native on-chain future actually looks like.
The future of AI won’t be defined by what intelligence can reveal, but by what it can understand without revealing.
Decode to know what really matters!!

This is probably the most internet photo we've taken at @kbwofficial with #trump
Came to here to talk about the future of AI.
Somehow ended up negotiating an alliance with the @POTUS @realDonaldTrump
Octo is taking networking a little too seriously!!
Mission in Action : The @OpenledgerHQ mascot has been spotted all over @kbwofficial
