The most fascinating aspect of this election is that public perception is still shaped almost exclusively by polls which are conducted and manually synthesized using: - live phone calls - automated telephone recordings - text-to-web Literally the Stone Age in the Superintelligence era

Software is going to become less secure, month by month. At a certain point, we will turn the corner, and new software will be more secure than any written in human history. But crossing that chasm will suck.

I bumped into @sarithaforny this am and slightly embarrassed her and some commuters when I shouted “Vote for Saritha for NY AG!” at the top of my lungs. That’s because we need an AG to enforce the law, not their personal vendetta like Letitia James. This race is winnable, vote!

Some goofy criminals are impersonating me, asking Robot Ventures portfolio companies to "remit payment" to cover a "payment error". Obviously, please do not fall for this type of thing. And stay frosty out there, as AI makes this trivial and more common ☃️

I am incredibly proud that @robotventures was given the opportunity to work with @dillonrolnick and the @NousResearch team on their Series B. Hermes Agent, the best agent framework, is going to grow in ways you can't even fathom yet 🔥

Hard to believe, but in 2020, people actually bought 30yr bonds with a 1% yield

I just won the tradfi lottery

Update: As predicted, the SEC and CFTC are creating clarity for the market, because legislators did in fact abdicate their responsibility. Onwards 🇺🇸

If you or a friend do structured credit at a bank and are looking for a new job that is amazing at Superstate, let me know

The Clarity Act failing today makes everybody a loser, all because partisan jockeying beat out common sense: The lines between tokens and securities are no more clear. Entrepreneurs will still prefer to build and raise capital offshore. Investors will receive no more information, or protections. Developers have no additional safeguards for decentralized systems. Banks are stuck with stablecoins able to pay rewards (yield). There are zero ethical guardrails for government employees and crypto. The list goes on. But mostly I just feel for the countless folks in the industry and across the House and Senate (of both parties) that worked on this for so long, and the light of American leadership dimming just a tad. Onwards

Senators that vote FOR the Clarity Act today demonstrate that they are on the side of consumers, technological innovation, and regulation. Senators that vote AGAINST the Clarity Act today demonstrate that they are for the unregulated, swampy status quo. Simple as that.

The AI safety debate is between people who like the Star Trek movies and the people who like the Terminator movies

Behind the scenes of the RWA Summit, @fintechfrank asked me to share this photo because he looks “tan and hot”

Want to be a “forward deployed lawyer” at Superstate, or know somebody who would? Perfect role for fun, fast pace, lawyer with a securities background. Law is dying, join a fantastic startup.

The Reg-Crypto proposal is the culmination of years of effort. Congratulations to the entire SEC staff and commission on defining a clear framework for token capital formation 🇺🇸

Congrats @alexatallah on the legendary OpenRouter, you built a fantastic product at light speed before anyone else knew the market existed

Theres a broad, bipartisan effort to finish and pass the Clarity Act when the Senate returns from break for their scheduled cloture vote. The SEC and CFTC will create the same “clarity” if legislators abdicate their responsibility, but I/others still have faith in Congress too
