we’re selecting a few teams to come on stream and pitch their idea/product directly to Tim and me tomorrow
who should we invite?
This next Tuesday, I’m sitting down with @a1lon9, co-founder of @Pumpfun, on @StreamDraperTV.
We’ll talk on-chain fundraising, decentralized media, and how pumpfun’s Build In Public hackathon is expanding the traditional VC playbook.
Make sure to tune in!

I just listened to @romanyam Podcast with @MarioNawfal below, and once again the conversation circled back to the idea that we’re in an AI arms race between China and the U.S. to reach ASI first. Roman’s position, which I’ve now heard a few times, is that the strategy itself doesn’t make sense, because whoever gets there first, the end state is the same, mutually assured destruction.
If that’s truly the trajectory, it’s hard to understand why we wouldn’t be exploring every possible avenue for safe AI, no matter how unconventional or small it may seem. Two brothers from @Foundational_AI claim to have made meaningful progress on alignment through a system they call Gabriel. I’m not from a technical background, so I can’t evaluate the work myself, but that’s exactly why I’d love to see AI researchers and practitioners in the field peer review it and try to break it.
Roman has published a paper explicitly asking for anyone to present a viable solution. If we genuinely believe we’re on a collision course with something catastrophic, wouldn’t we at least investigate every proposal put on the table? Roman, will you take a look?

Faith can move mountains, and informing AI to operate on the foundation of Orthodox Christianity is a direction it needs to be in, in order to properly serve humanity.

The narrative of Pumpswap and Liquidpump transforming @pumpdotfun into a 'BNB moment' highlights @solana's evolving infrastructure.
Memes are just the entry point for deeper onchain innovation.
💡 The design is clear:
PS = governance + utility token (the BNB role)
LP = liquidity provider + yield engine (the fuel)
Together, they’re the hidden gears of Pump.fun’s next phase.
Pump.fun isn’t just launching memes anymore.
They’re quietly building an exchange ecosystem.
And PS + LP are the stealth tokens behind it.
History doesn’t repeat… but it rhymes.
And this rhyme sounds a lot like BNB 2017.
