I’m so excited to see this pilot program come to life.🗽As a New Yorker, I see opportunities everyday for stablecoins to make an impact in the community, from bodegas to big business and even everyday people. @GiveDirectly is embracing innovation and using crypto to save money and deliver impact, all thanks to @base and the tools that we provide. 👏 well done!

The Senate committee responsible for commerce and technology policy has zero hearings on AI scheduled for the next 4 months.
The committee's top priority is, instead, the Protect College Sports Act.

A quote comes to mind: “you scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should”. What a mess we are in now
Great thread by @hilbertspaess 🧵 we should encourage more forums for the employees to speak honestly about what we’re seeing.
We’re finally acknowledging the civilizational stakes…. all of the frontier labs need to align on getting it RIGHT, not just getting it FAST
A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.

An entire generation has been killed by inflation. There’s no point in working hard. Inflation will take all of your wages. No one will get ahead who doesn’t own assets.

Citizens United changed the US forever.
It allowed unlimited money to politicians.
Campaign donations are up eight times. 36% of it coming from the top 0.1%.
They're buying protection, corporate tax cuts, and no antitrust enforcement.
Teddy Roosevelt busted the monopolies because concentrated power in the hands of a few is a threat to everyone else.
We don't do that anymore, because the monopolies got better at buying the people who would have stopped them.
This is not left or right. We must Reform Citizens United.

Bitcoin crossed $80,000.
So is it cheap, expensive, or fairly valued?
Nobody actually knows.
And the reason why gets to the heart of what makes Bitcoin different from almost every asset Wall Street tries to value.
This is the best video out there on the current AI race and the real reason why a bubble forms and eventually collapses. Worth the watch for sure!

🚨 BREAKING: Californians can now delete their personal information from hundreds of data broker websites with a single request, under a first-of-its-kind state privacy program.
The new system is designed to make it significantly easier for residents to stop companies from buying, selling, and sharing their personal data.

I've spent 20 years building AI at Meta, Salesforce, and startups.
Last fall my team's AI agents started really working. I knew everything had changed.
Then my nieces, nephews, cousins started asking me how to get hired.
I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. So I decided to leave and build something.
Today at #TIME100 Summit, we’re launching #NewWorkFoundation– free, open source AI tools for Gen Z navigating the worst entry-level job market in 37 years.
→ @dearCChq: what AI is doing to your profession
→ Field Report: best jobs for your major
→ JobClaw: match your strengths to roles + AI skills you need
Every job is becoming an AI job. Direct it, or be directed by it.
The future isn't automatic. I want to help #GenZ write theirs.
Grateful to have @AndrewYang joining as a Founding Advisor– someone who's been sounding the alarm on this longer than almost anyone.

The future is inherently unpredictable. We can be optimistic about AI’s upside, while staying honest about uncertainty and preparing for multiple outcomes 🧠
First principles: higher productivity ≠ guaranteed more jobs. “More output” is not the same as “more workers needed.”

I know Silicon Valley startups don't want to hear this.....
But the combination of someone in the trades with deep domain expertise and Claude Code will run circles around your generic software.
I talked to Cory LaChance this morning, a mechanical engineer in industrial piping construction in Houston. He normally works with chemical plants and refineries, but now he also works with the terminal
He reached out in a DM a few days ago and I was so fired up by his story, I asked him if we could record the conversation and share it.
He built a full application that industrial contractors are using every day. It reads piping isometric drawings and automatically extracts every weld count, every material spec, every commodity code.
Work that took 10 minutes per drawing now takes 60 seconds. It can do 100 drawings in five minutes, saving days of time.
His co-workers are all mind blown, and when he talks to them, it's like they are speaking different languages.
His fabrication shop uses it daily, and he built the entire thing in 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks he also had to learn everything about Claude Code, the terminal, VS Code, everything.
My favorite quote from him was when he said, "I literally did this with zero outside help other than the AI. My favorite tools are screenshots, step by step instructions and asking Claude to explain things like I'm five."
Every trades worker with deep expertise and a willingness to sit down with Claude Code for a few weekends is now a potential software founder.
I can't wait to meet more people like Cory.

YouTube has paid us $472.36 for 91,839 views.
Meanwhile, the market cap of our @zora creator coin on @base has surged by $1.5 million.
This is the power of content, attention, ownership, and community in Web3.
This is the way @jessepollak 🫡
My fireside chat with @fundstrat at @kbwofficial is going parabolic on YouTube 📺
It racked up more than 60,000 views in less than 24 hours.
But rather than earn pennies on the dollar from YouTube, here's how we're pioneering the first ever attention flywheel @coinage_media 🧵
