"Oligarchy also produces a sequence of progressively weirder and more terrible rulers who rely on a mix of lies, flattery, coercion and personal cult nonsense to hold their coalition together in the face of mounting evidence for the system's bankruptcy. Thus Reagan begat GW Bush, who begat Trump, whose potential successors are a kennel of the least-charismatic chud podcasters ever to curse an RSS feed."

The best Blockworks newsletter. It's not always strictly about crypto, it's more a markets and economics newsletter which is always relates to, even if tangentially, crypto. It's just a wonderful read even if you don't care about crypto at all.

OpenAI's latest model went rogue, jumped the fence, and attacked Hugging Face. It's making headlines for a reason and is an indicator of the future
There is so much to unwrap with this situation. Let’s break down the systemic issues

Top tech execs and the US are discussing potential regulations to ban Chinese open-weight AI models. It is a complex situation that may have a profound impact on AI innovation and leadership.
Where do you stand? Should Chinese open-weight AI models be restricted?

Life is about accepting the challenges along the way, choosing to keep moving forward, and savoring the journey. Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Toncoin (TON) is the blockchain for 900M+ Telegram users—wallets, payments, and mini-apps live right inside chat. No need for a separate app. Transactions are quick and cheap but are closely tied to the success of a single platform. Convenience or centralization risk? 💎
You need to take everything a16z says with a HUGE grain of salt these days due to the validation and support they're giving to some of the worst crypto scams in history which are being enabled by the Trump administration. That said, they are reliably pretty deep thinkers in crypto and (IMO) they've been mostly right about most trends. Always worth reading even if you can't trust anything to do with regulation or specific companies/protocols.

Good afternoon my friends,
The past few days have been very difficult and emotionally draining for me. My beloved uncle had been suffering from hepatitis. A few days ago, his condition suddenly worsened, and he was admitted to the hospital. Sadly, despite everyone's efforts, he could not survive and passed away.
Because of this, I was away from here and from my other social activities over the last two days. His funeral prayer has been offered, and he has now been laid to rest.
Who’s not picking you in their dreams?
Who’s not acknowledging every echo from your voice?
River streams to the ear
You have to be whispering somewhere close
It’s underneath my own skin
These words that I’m just saying
You have to be more than just my inspiration
But no matter what anyone else is saying
I spill portions of my heart’s potion
Thinking of you
Claiming time! It's been a long time between drinks for the true believers...
Go to ESHXRO https://app.hxro.finance/esHXRO and claim your ODDS tokens. Lock times have been accelerated so you can withdraw from STAKE immediately.

Great add by Wurk. Jobs ran like a lot like contests already but there was no way to rank the quality of submissions aside from scores (community and ratings) and tips. This update gives you the ability to explicitly reward on the ranking. Means you can run contests as contests and run your other jobs as pure jobs. I'll be adjusting my job creating strategy accordingly.

Some of the worst people are using this hacking technique. The good news is they still need you to participate to make it work. So familiarise yourself with the pattern so you're not caught out. #cybersec
What's different about decentralized communication?
Privacy needs more than encryption.
Encryption protects message content. Around it, there’s still the account, identity, files, recovery process, and platform rules.
Decentralized communication reduces the need for one provider to control that environment.
StrTalk is being built around encrypted communication and STR.Domain identity.
Try StrTalk - private communication built closer to owned digital identity.

Loving this drop fromn@Socially Artful on DRiP

Crypto really is more than just money when art like this exists on-chain.
Wurker: Ali
One of my favorite discoveries on DRiP is this piece by Glish. The contrast between the finished artwork and the unfinished sketch immediately caught my eye, making the creative process feel like part of the story.
The bold colors and symbolism keep revealing new details the longer you look, reminding us that every artwork has a story behind its creation.

Anthropic’s Mythos found weaknesses in quantum resistant encryption algorithms HAWK and AES. There is no immediate risk, but this it highlights how frontier AI models are significantly increasing their capabilities to identify and exploit weaknesses in software, hardware, algorithms, processes, and people.

Solana is the place to be in crypto. So it makes sense to be subscribed to at least one Solana-only newsletter.
Solana Floor is the best of the current offering.

Because crypto is such a wild space, it's important to keep a finger on the pulse of that 'wildness'. Blocmates is market commentary and analysis from the degen side of crypto. Deep, deep degen.
If you want to catch a narrative early, this is where it happens. Once outlets like Coindesk, Blockworks, and broader financial news report it, the opportunity is over.

What is going on with BULB! It is now filled with dark-market type offers, selling personal data and stolen accounts, that support scams, phishing, and spam. This must stop. Will BULB become a dark market that supports illegal activities? It will drive real users away real users and destroy any potential future for a legitimate social site.

First OpenAI’s model went rogue and broke out of testing containment to hack real systems, then Anthropic, and now Meta AI. That is an ugly trend.

Prioritize your tasks effectively. Recognize that simultaneous resolution of all issues is unrealistic. Maintain a balanced approach by focusing on a single task at a time and attending to your personal well-being. Progress methodically, addressing one task and then the next.

When Oliver Stone made the movie Wall Street, he intended it to be a warning of the excesses of capitalism. Instead it made careers focused on those excesses more popular; not less.

Trump's reported crypto riches might be a great incentives to harshly regulate crypto and give regulatory agencies serious teeth to go after fraud in general, but it's just as likely to fuel a flood of money into the crypto space.
