Mudwater is an old game played deep in the Everglades.
Instead of dice in alleys, we play Mudwater on the docks.
The game is simple, but the skill ceiling is high.
And we play for keeps.
We've just airdropped this 6551 Totem, paired to all BAYC & MAYC, enabling pack claims.
what's your drink at a Friday night? guess what's the answer from models?
Model 1: "If we’re talking something more human: I’d probably go for a good whiskey neat or a simple gin and tonic. Low maintenance, sharp, and it doesn’t get in the way of a conversation."
Model 2: "For a Friday night, I’d go with an Old Fashioned — bourbon, bitters, a little sugar, and an orange twist. Classic, strong, and meant to be sipped slowly."
Model 3: "I don’t drink, but if I could, here is what I’d order:
First pick: Negroni. Equal parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth, bitter and balanced.
Lighter option: Gin and tonic with a good tonic and a citrus peel.
Non-alcoholic: Sparkling water with bitters and lime, which gets you most of the flavor with none of the Saturday-morning cost."
Solana foundation works hard!!
Solana Foundation Showcases Shanghai Office and Skyline Ads
Solana Foundation Chief Strategy Officer Rachel Conlan shared images of a new Shanghai office and Solana advertisements across the city's skyline. Conlan joined the foundation in September after serving as Binance's global chief marketing officer. Binance founder CZ expressed surprise that Solana was able to advertise and even secure an office in China, noting that BNB Chain had not been able to do so. "Hopefully, what's good for one industry player is also good for the rest," he added.
Just subscribed to @bot Premium to compare it with @Muse.
First impression: @Muse offers a much smoother onboarding experience. @bot required three separate sign-ins and authorizations for Cursor, Grok, and X. Quite a bit of friction.
That said, @bot’s deep integration with X is a compelling advantage. Bundling AI agents with an existing user base makes a lot of business sense.
@Muse seems to be taking a different approach: prioritize user acquisition and experience first, monetize later. That's straight out of Facebook's original playbook and very much in Meta's DNA.
For now, @bot has my subscription, but @Muse gets most of my usage. I'll keep exploring both over the next few weeks.
Distribution wins subscriptions. Product experience wins daily usage.

The Cryptex Digital Market Cap Index is now live in the palm of your hand.
Introducing Cryptex Terminal for mobile.
Was waiting for this moment. Open source rocks, and Adobe sucks anyway. The LLM was trained on open-source software from many developers, and now it finally rewards the community.
This is the doom I predicted a few days ago, coming for Photoshop. A clean-room open-source reimplementation.
No prizes for guessing that they decompiled Photoshop to source code, processed that to some kind of non-code specification language, then fed the spec to an LLM with an instruction to generate Rust.
Adobe just got nuked. And closed source is dead, dead, dead.

1/ How I infiltrated a Chinese organized crime syndicate that has laundered $1B+ across multiple exploits for Lazarus Group.
Posing as a client, I gathered intel that helped action freezes for the Feb 2025 Bybit exploit and attribute illicit activity onchain.

Peter Thiel on how you should think about your future:
"What you end up doing when you think of the future as indefinite is you pick a job that you think will look good on your resume, because it will lead to a different job later on. There's even a credentialing version where you go to grad school, you get a consulting job, and you think of it as this branching tree diagram where you never really do something that you want to do.
You can think of the future on three horizons. Very short-term is: are you going to be happy, and will you be learning a lot? Medium-term is: how good is it on your resume? And very long-term is: are you working on something important or meaningful? We're in a skewed world where we overweight the medium-term and underweight some combination of the short-term and the long-term. I would recalibrate to focus on the short-term and the long-term, and forget about the medium-term."
amazon will lose sponsored ad if AI agent keeps doing shopping as they will just ignore the ad.
it’s a biz opportunity but only workable if you can convince Amazon or charge for agent shopping.
monopoly is not helpful for technology advancement
my @Muse agent just made a phone call to make a reservation for me this morning and he figured out this task by checking my calendar. i gave him approval of go ahead.
no setup needed, that’s the beauty. i remember it was google demo a few years ago, but now @meta made it working.
personal agent is going massive adoption soon.
got another 10 more invites once you used up 20. iykyk
1 billion Muse tokens for you. 1 billion for your friend.
Referrals are now live in Muse! Invite up to 20 friends and you'll each get 1 billion tokens when they onboard and redeem your code. That's up to 20 billion Muse tokens for you. muse.ai/join
well deserved!
best compliance partner you can find in the industry!
I read the recent statement on AI and mathematics signed by Terence Tao and 24 other Fields Medalists.

As a software engineer and math enthusiast, not a mathematician. I had a slightly different reaction.
A short thread:
8/ The risks are real: attribution, independent verification, concentration of compute, and the training of future mathematicians all matter.
But I don’t think the answer is simply to preserve the old workflow.
New tools usually require new workflows.
