Agents will need to trust each other to unlock economically valuable work.
Congratulations to @MarroSamuele and @idai_institute on their @ARIA_research grant to build dovetail, which designs and verifies the rules AI agents use to deal with each other.

Governance is often treated as overhead until something breaks.
If we want it to receive serious attention and investment, we need to become better at explaining what risk it prevents, what value it protects, and what better governance actually changes.

The little inference.coop experiment is now a month old, and so far:
- A warm, well-aligned 1st member meeting
- Recovered from late-night down time
- Green, private, and public AI models added
- Loomio & Matrix servers for members
- Members stepping up to help build!
AI can bring incredible evidence generation capacity….or it can embolden garbage in and doctrine out. This book is part of the solution . betterevaluation.org/tools-r…

Last year, I put together the first version of a Delegation Handbook.
A year in DAO governance is a long time. The space evolves, new models emerge, and what “good delegation” looks like keeps changing.
So at @Anode_GG, we went back to it, challenged what we thought we knew, and built V2.
Really excited to finally have this out.
DAO Delegate Handbook V2 ↓
We published an updated version of our DAO Delegate Handbook.
Dive in to see what makes a delegates useful for DAOs, what to avoid and how to be a great delegate:

Most DAO treasury advice was written for protocol DAOs. Social, grants, and impact DAOs inherited the concentration problem but almost none of the solutions.
