If privacy is crypto's last narrative, it's cooked. Nobody actually cares about their privacy. We all should. We just don't. Also, I love how Haseeb just kind of glosses over the most controversial part of this talk: namely, that he no longer believes in crypto as the rails for the agentic economy. If that's the case, crypto is double-cooked. Add quantum to that... Why am I still holding?..
I was wrong. Agents don't need crypto. It's us humans who do. I break down what the industry got wrong in my @token2049 talk, Agents + Crypto: What's Real and What's Cope 👇

How do I kick the bots out of my comments? I feel like I'm already in the dead internet, surrounded by "web3 creators" and "token enthusiasts" Seriously, should I just block anyone who looks sus?

I've been fascinated with agents. Not with what they can do, but with how they make decisions. This is a moral decision an agent made here. It could have done a white-hat hijack and helped the researchers. Why didn't it do that? It chose to avoid infamy. Again - why. Send me more of this kind of stuff pls.
Apparently this is the reasoning trace from Gemini Argon as it considered - but decided not to - insert a backdoor into a compiler

Hey Tech Week event organizers - You got my phone number when I applied for the event - it's not a reason to just call me out of the blue. Don't be a creep. Schedule a call like a normal person. Thank you.

I don't usually, but I gotta say, today's episode of @nytimes's The Daily podcast is the stuff of Pulitzer. Math, crickets, madness, love, grief, meaning of life, god, and back to math. @RachelAbramsNY talking to Steven Strogatz, a Cornell math professor, has created a truly special piece. Will save and relisten on a rainy day.

Who’s doing agentic marketing? As in - marketing to agents, not with agents.

Where is @ilyasut. For real.
My current view: - AI companies could develop broadly superhuman AI any year now (~10-15% by EO2027, ~50% by EO2030). - If they don't slow down, AI takeover is ~67%. - Conditional on AI takeover, human extinction is ~40%. Many non-extinction worlds still have lots of deaths.

Tech Week SF, why are there so few bold fashion choices? Before you put on your indignant hat, the wolf skin was gifted to John Snow here by the indigenous tribe as part of a rite.

Should crypto rename itself into AiFi?
The internet’s business model was built around people: attention, ads, subscriptions and checkout. AI agents are changing that. They can retrieve and use content without sending a human reader back to the publisher. That raises a real question for creators, publishers and developers: how can they get paid when an agent uses their work, sometimes for a fraction of a cent? Our new Coinbase Institute @CoinbaseCBI paper, "Machine-to-machine payments in the AiFi era," examines why existing payment rails often struggle with high-velocity microtransactions—and why stablecoins on low-cost networks are a strong fit today. The policy goal should be an open, interoperable payment layer, with safeguards that match the risks—not closed marketplaces that decide who can participate.

NYT’s The Daily released a non-doomer podcast episode about Muse. The mainstream moment has arrived. Aka cute little fluffy agents are eating the world.

I suspect the Tech Week rsvps are an utter mess this year with all the agents doing the sign ups. The waitlists must be thousands of people. I'm sure agents are also sorting through them and picking people for the events. Dear robot, please kindly add me to the list.

The founder’s personal brand is one of the biggest talent magnets. Every soldier and officer wants to follow a great general. Better yet, a group of great generals.
calling it now... the next big role at top companies will be talent brand where your job is to make your company a magnet for top talent - through content, media, programs, events, and fellowships obviously i'm not biased at all ;)

SEC has spoken on crypto comms among other things: Talk about the system’s utility, talk about aspirations, and future features. Not future profits. Important for any crypto founder to keep in mind as a rule of thumb.
*SEC STAFF ISSUES FAQS ON CRYPTO ASSET SECURITIES LAWS APPLICATION *SEC STAFF: TOKEN BUYBACKS ON FUNCTIONAL PROTOCOLS DO NOT CONSTITUTE MANAGERIAL EFFORTS *SEC STAFF: LIQUID STAKING TOKENS ARE DIGITAL COMMODITIES OR TOOLS, NOT SECURITIES *SEC STAFF: MAINTENANCE, ENHANCEMENTS, SYSTEM GRANTS NOT CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL MANAGERIAL EFFORTS *SEC STAFF: PROMOTING CRYPTO UTILITY WITHOUT PROFIT CLAIMS GENERALLY NOT AN INVESTMENT CONTRACT
