Reminder that prosecuting insider trading, abuse of office, bribery, and securities fraud isn't "lawfare" — it's the law.

It would appear the PR strategy of “having zoomers use govt socials to post hype edits of ICE agents beating fat brown women to death with baseball bats” does not poll well with the general electorate

Trump has spent a decade purging conservatism—constitutional, economic, and even social (in the deepest sense of humility and respect for others)—from the Republican Party. We should take solace in this absolute defeat because it’s a real chance to rebuild American conservatism.

Regular Americans are worried about AI taking their jobs. Trump’s response was to insist on giving AI a fun new name. He had no plan to address the actual concern people have. And this is the Blue Wave in a nutshell. Relentlessly focused on the shit nobody cares about, at the expense of the things they do care about.

I have to check the exit polling but can anyone tell me what percentage of voters were primarily concerned with renaming AI to SI and making sure the White House ballroom was renovated? Oh, exactly zero percent? Wow okay

Stablecoins are becoming the internet's dollar, and that shift is starting to reshape monetary sovereignty in high-inflation economies. Our new report with Silicon Valley Bank looks at what is driving that shift, and how controls can keep pace as emerging market adoption scales.

Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why we need data centers? I spent all morning searching Google and Wikipedia and couldn’t find a single good reason. Then I watched a 45-minute YouTube explainer in 4K, but it was mostly about AI, and I’m just waiting for that bubble to pop. I opened 200 browser tabs, downloaded a few hundred research papers, translated three from Chinese, and uploaded 2TB of sequencing data so colleagues in eight countries could analyze it with me. Then we discussed the results on Zoom while Slack transcribed the meeting and emailed everyone a summary. Around lunch, my phone backed up 14,000 family photos, synchronized my contacts and calendar across six devices, routed me around traffic, checked the weather using live satellite data, booked a doctor’s appointment, refilled a prescription, paid a bill, transferred money between banks, approved payroll for hundreds of employees, and ordered groceries. Later, I read about hospitals retrieving patient records and medical scans in seconds, emergency services coordinating disaster responses, scientists designing protein therapies and sharing enormous datasets, utilities balancing the electrical grid, and airlines continuously rerouting thousands of flights. But these all felt like pretty niche edge cases. So I asked an AI agent to turn everything I had done that day into a Twitter post, make it increasingly insane and obvious, and optimize it for maximum engagement.

“Look at my incredible new factory!” Yo that’s cool, what do you make? “It’s highly optimised, fully automated, zero tolerance for defects and with a continuous feedback cycle” Cool cool, so what do you actually make? “I can interact with it on my phone, laptop, messenger, completely async, and the shared context means it’s always learning how to get better” Very impressive, but what do you make? “Every agent has full context, can spawn other agents, review their work, fix defects, and ship continuously.” yes yes. WHAT DOES IT MAKE? “Software.” Oh nice. What software? “Well right now we’re mostly using it to improve the factory.” Improve it to make what? “Anything!” Such as? “…a better factory.”

LLMs are extraordinary. Worth sitting down and acknowledging that holy shit we've done it. We've built artificial minds. They speak, they reason, they write actual poetry, my God do you ever stare at your screen in astonishment? It's not even been 4 years.

I’ve always found people who bristle at “American exceptionalism” kind of… weird. Not because I lack self-awareness — I’ve spent my career cataloging every way this country fails to live up to its own rules. But that’s exactly why I love it so damn much. We built a system designed to be shamed by its own founding documents, and it still delivered one of the most spectacular, world-altering runs in human history. A genuine force for human flourishing. I also found the argument against American exceptionalism to be historically illiterate. Here’s a sample of what we were first at: • The first large-scale democratic republic in human history — not a city-state, not a monarchy with a parliament bolted on, but a bold continental experiment in self-rule, popular sovereignty, and ordered liberty. • A written Constitution (1789) with separation of powers and checks & balances — still the oldest national constitution in force anywhere. • The Bill of Rights (1791): the first time a nation wrote “the government cannot touch these” into supreme law and actually meant it. A dare the world copied — from later rights charters to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. • Public land-grant universities and mass higher education (Morrill Act), opening college to ordinary people no aristocracy would have let near the gates. (but don’t get me started about what happened after we started. Massively federally funding it.) • Kitty Hawk, 1903 — first controlled powered flight. • The Moon, 1969 — still the only ones who’ve been there. • The world’s largest economy since ~1890, powering unprecedented prosperity through grit and genius. • The assembly line, skyscraper, transistor, personal computer, ARPANET — the backbone of the modern world. • Telephone, phonograph, GPS — connecting and powering daily life. • Surgical anesthesia, polio vaccine — saving and transforming millions of lives. • Jazz, blues, rock ‘n’ roll — brand new American art forms that conquered the globe. • Hollywood’s dreams, blue jeans, bourbon, and a culture so open a kid like me could devour sushi, burritos, stuffed cabbage, and tabouli in the same week and rightfully think of it all as American. That’s the part that fills me with genuine love and pride: not just the power or the wins, but the appetite for freedom, creativity, and reinvention. The audacity to say “We the People” and keep trying to live up to it. What do you love most about this truly exceptional country? 🇺🇸

Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion

✅ To recap our last 30 days at Aalo Atomics: - Shipped all components for the Critical Test Reactor - Ran control rod through testing program including 2000-cycle endurance test (with custom panel and test rig) - Assembled reactor vessel and poured shielding on site - Celebrated by cutting the ribbon on our Critical Test Reactor Facility - Urenco delivered LEU 5% fuel feedstock - GE Global Nuclear Fuels received feedstock and moved rapidly through production of UO2 fuel - Announced partnership with Baker Hughes for turbine and with Microsoft/NVIDIA on AI. We’re extremely proud of our team and our suppliers. The hard work and dedication shows. Onward!!

We open sourced an operating system for ai agents 137k lines of rust, MIT licensed we love @openclaw and it inspired a lot of what we built. but we wanted something that works at the kernel level so we built @openfangg agents run inside WASM sandboxes the same way processes run on linux. the kernel schedules them, isolates them, meters their resources, and kills them if they go rogue. it has 16 security layers baked into the core. WASM sandboxing, merkle hash-chain audit trails, taint tracking on secrets, signed agent manifests, prompt injection detection, SSRF protection, and more. every layer works independently. giving an LLM tools with zero isolation is insane and we're not doing it. we also created something called Hands. right now every ai agent is a chatbot that waits for you to type. Hands are different. you activate one and it runs on a schedule, 24/7, no prompting needed. your Lead Hand finds and scores prospects every morning and delivers them to your telegram before you wake up. your Researcher Hand writes cited reports while you sleep. your Collector Hand monitors targets and builds knowledge graphs continuously. they work for you. you don't babysit them github.com/RightNow-AI/openf… ⭐
