Surveillance doesnât just collect data. It creates power. And once that power exists, it will be used.

Cool.
Stanford just made a $200,000 AI degree free. No application. No tuition. No âelite accessâ. Stanford released its actual AI/ML curriculum on YouTube. Not a PR-friendly intro. Not âAI for the publicâ. This is the real thing. The same lectures shaping people working on

Hi @MasseyForSenate - making it a class A felony (like first-degree murder) for AI to "Provide emotional support" is the worst idea I've seen in a full week, and I spend several hours on twitter every day.
Lawmakers in Tennessee are trying to make it illegal for AI to provide emotional support or act as a friend / companion. Training a chatbot to do this would be a Class A felony - comparable to aggravated rape or murder. Just pure insanity đ

In this piece of brain tissue the size of sand grain are 200,000 neurons and nearly 2.5 miles of axons. While it may seem small in size, it was previously thought impossible to map. The road to this beautiful image is both a scientific and human triumph: https://t.co/RtWiMgq75y

@brian_armstrong Weâve come too far to cede any ground The banking lobby may be strong but cryptoâs influence in DC is undeniable & backed by one of the largest grassroots support bases in the US Lots of legislators learned how important digital assets were to their constituents last cycle

Enough BS. Enough lies. Enough words. Enough ragebait. Enough engagement bait. Enough avoiding the problems. Enough redirection. Enough wasting time and money. Actions.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has been sending their support to me while I am incarcerated at FPC Morgantown. If you have read my Day 1 Letter published by The Rage: https://t.co/NwURo1i6Dz you will know that due to a Friday surrender and the surrounding holiday

Justice Amy Coney Barrett is warning that Britainâs criminalization of âoffensiveâ speech shows what happens when a nation loses faith in free expression. Without strong constitutional limits, âharmfulâ becomes whatever the state says it is.

What an amazing list.
Here are a few of the books the a16z crypto team is reading and recommending this winter. From the history of industries like oil and AI to the history of books themselves â and from biographies and memoirs to thrillers and graphic novels. https://t.co/MFSOTnR09b

BREAKING: China will be imposing export restrictions on silver beginning in 5 days, on January 1st. These restrictions will require special government licenses for silver exports. Shanghai silver prices are now up to $85/oz, a ~$5 premium to spot prices in the US.
The Silver Situation: Silver prices are now up a MASSIVE +175% in 2025 and set to post an 8-month win streak for first time since 1980. Gold and silver have added a combined +$16 TRILLION in market cap this year ALONE. What is happening? Let us explain. (a thread)

I am personally surprised that Comex announced margins on silver futures will go up ~10% on Monday since such a move hurts those who are short significantly more compared to those who are long and holding deeply profitable positions as it is the case right now. FYI - The last
They cannot raise margins because that will hurt the shorts badly right now, reason why they didnât do it and they cannot do it. Comex lost the grip on silver the moment they pulled the plug on Thanksgiving night

@RonColeman @Arceris_btc It is not just unworkable. It is intolerable
@prestonjbyrne Trying to police the entire internet with English law is unworkable. It would have been better to create a child safety standard for digital services and then devices could be locked down to child safe services/apps only with no need to police and control all of the internet.

This guy wrote a paean to the Online Safety Act saying that defending the Act was "defending British sovereignty." Now Substack, implementing the terms of the OSA, is censoring writers in order to comply with the OSA's requirements. And he's mad. The OSA is a bad law, period.
I am dismayed to learn from the latest Jâaccuse that Substack is voluntarily demonetising British writers on the right, throwing them under a bus. (It doesnât have to, and no one else is doing it). Time to find a new platform.

Exactly - Iâm actually impressed the banks can lobby for this with a straight face and not get kicked out of senatorâs offices. It takes some serious mental gymnastics. We wonât let anyone reopen GENIUS. Red line issue for us. And will keep advocating for our customers and the
Banks earn 4.4% on reserves parked at the Fed... They pay you 0.01% on your savings account. And now they're lobbying Congress to make sure stablecoins can't offer you anything better. The GENIUS Act already settled this. Congress spent months hashing out a compromise.
