OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

"From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer." Might actually be one of the most evil quotes we've ever heard. Like actually bone-chillingly evil.

Watched 40m dollars worth of $UNI get absorbed on-chain like nothing.
Reminder: Binance is forced to buy back these spot tokens to honour reserves and user deposits. (they are effectively net short $500m ETH, $35m PEPE, $45m UNI, $40m ENA, $70m LINK, $10m AAVE, etc)

Snag some of alt coins that Binance will need to buy back to recoup customers
Loss might be a bit higher than that, but will cover. 🙏

Self custody is the way.
Unconfirmed, but possibly massive binance hack. Entire Binance wallet drained into new EOA. Contract call was funded by Tornado Cash

Sometimes a demo is simply to remind the world that your competition has no desire to dream -- and no ability to evolve.

What’s the point in being called the game of the week? @NFLonFOX
Being forced to watch this mid-off as “Bonus Coverage” instead of being switched to the Seahawks-Niners game 😔

I had @claudeai decompile all the transactions from when my crypto wallet was hacked 4 years ago for 6 figures, cross referenced and track it through Tornado Cash and into @kucoincom accounts. It attributes it to the @LastPass hack and just realized there was a class action lawsuit just for this and closed in July.

This is what serious technical leadership looks like. No NGOs were needed. No multilateral coalition governing companies. Companies can take responsibility for their own actions. Thank you NVIDIA for showing what true AI safety should look like.
Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry. Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come. But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility. This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems. Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy. Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

GPUs don't run on forecasts. 2 GW of US data centre capacity scheduled for 2026 hasn’t even begun construction. And more than half the GPU servers sold between 2026 and 2028 may lack the power to run. Hyperscalers are racing to buy more chips while struggling to bring new sites online. There's another option. @ionet makes underutilized compute from around the world available now. Not someday.

I've used Coinbase mostly for the last 10 years exclusively with zero issues, decided to give @krakenfx a try and the first thing they do is freeze my account going on 5 days with no ability to talk to a human, no explanation, fantastic. cc @krakensupport

The whole "it escaped containment" is like fear porn for regular people, gaslighting regular people but people in tech know that's just a bunch of bullshit
🚨 Jensen Huang Says Something Seems REALLY Off About the AI Labs’ Doomer Narrative JENSEN: “I really don't believe that they're building something they have no idea how to control. Their whole company is out of control…” ANDERSON: “So why are they saying this?” JENSEN: “You're going to have to ask them.” ANDERSON: “I've talked to Dario Amodei and he says this is what I think.” JENSEN: “It doesn't make any sense to me that he would be racing ahead, building more compute then.”

There's just something off about Opus since hitting version 5, even 5.5, it's not methodical like Fable and 5.5 seems overtly aggressive in pursuing breaking-changes, access changes without prompting.
Opus 5.5 performs at the level of Fable 5.1. It's ~30% faster and ~40% cheaper than Opus 5 per task. In Claude Code: - 5-hour session limits increase 20% today - Opus 5.5 is priced lower, so it goes 25% further within limits - Pro, Max, and Team users get a reset to use anytime

Reminder: Having access to knowledge is not the same thing as being intelligent. Many people are going to find this out the hard way with AI over the next few years.

The Vikings went from looking like utter shit, to medium shit, to "maybe they'll come back," to winning convincingly -- all in about maybe 45 minutes.
