When will the crypto community accept they've been played? again. Crypto's liquidity hasn't been destroyed by bad luck. It's been systematically drained by centralised forces, each wave more sophisticated than the last. Below is the full timeline of extraction. 👇

𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗼𝗻 Anthropic hesitated on weaponisation. OpenAI didn't. Sam Altman swooped in with what MIT Tech Review calls an "opportunistic and sloppy" Pentagon deal. The same company that once preached AI safety now races to arm the military. The mainstream take is that Anthropic lost. Wrong. ⬩ Anthropic lost a contract. OpenAI lost its founding principle. There's a difference. ⬩ Users are already quitting ChatGPT in droves. London saw its largest anti-AI protest ever. The public isn't stupid: they can smell a company that will say anything to anyone for revenue. Here's what nobody is asking: if OpenAI will abandon safety rhetoric the moment a defence contract appears, why would you trust them with safety at all? This is precisely why open source matters. You don't need to trust a corporation's principles when you can inspect the code yourself. The real danger was never AI going to war. It was a closed-source monopoly deciding the terms on everyones behalf.

𝗙𝘂𝗷𝗶𝘁𝘀𝘂 𝗜𝘀 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗲 Everyone obsesses over Google and IBM's qubit counts. Meanwhile, Fujitsu and Osaka University just built technology to make today's imperfect quantum computers actually useful for chemical energy calculations. ⬩ This is the real bottleneck nobody talks about: we don't need millions of perfect qubits, we need smarter algorithms that tolerate the noisy hardware we already have. Their STAR architecture v3 does exactly that. ⬩ While Western governments pour billions into flashy qubit milestones, Japan's approach is classically pragmatic: solve real industrial chemistry problems now, not in some hypothetical 2035 timeline. The mainstream keeps scoring this race by who has the most qubits. Thats like judging a car by its horsepower while ignoring whether it can actually steer. When will people learn that quantum supremacy was never about raw numbers?

@samuel_leeds Do you actually understand what being a Christian means?

I set up something in my lending company called Islamic finance, specifically for Muslims. I actually created it years ago because a lot of Muslims I was working with couldn’t borrow money in the normal way due to their religion. So we had to find another solution. Here’s how it works. Islamic finance is quite similar to bridging finance in terms of the outcome, but the structure is completely different. Normally, if you wanted to buy a property and needed funding, I might say, “You need £100,000? No problem, here it is, and you’ll pay me 1% a month.” But with Islamic finance, you can’t charge interest. So what we’ve done at Samuel Leeds Finance is use a structure called Murabaha. Let’s say you want to buy a house worth £100,000. Instead of lending you the money, we’ll actually buy the property ourselves, say for £95,000. Then we sell it on to you for £100,000. You don’t pay that all upfront, you pay in instalments over an agreed period. Once you’ve made all the payments, the property is fully yours. So in simple terms, you’re still paying more over time, but it’s structured as a purchase agreement rather than an interest-based loan. It’s how Elijah was able to get his first investment property as a Muslim with prior little experience.

𝗡𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗜𝗔 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗔𝗜 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝟰𝘅 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 Everyone fixates on making models bigger. NVIDIA's PivotRL does something smarter: it combines supervised fine-tuning with reinforcement learning so agentic AI needs 4x fewer rollout turns to hit the same accuracy. ⬩ This matters because compute cost is the real bottleneck for open source teams. Cutting training overhead by 75% is how smaller labs compete with OpenAI and Anthropic, not by begging regulators for a level playing field. ⬩ The safety crowd will ignore this entirely. Efficiency gains like PivotRL democratise capability. Thats precisely what they fear. Why does the AI discourse obsess over who builds the biggest model when the real revolution is making good models cheap enough for anyone to train? [TRENDS USED: Sora] Wait, I didn't actually weave Sora in. Let me reconsider.

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗭𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 While OpenAI burns billions chasing artificial general intelligence and Google throws qubits at a wall, a small New Zealand team at the Dodd-Walls Centre just built a hybrid optical Ising machine that could solve real optimisation problems now. ⬩ The mainstream fixates on who builds the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That's years away. Dr Liam Quinn's team is solving intractable problems today with photonics and clever engineering, not brute-force qubit counts. ⬩ No billion-dollar campus. No government mega-programme. Just researchers in a small open economy doing what centralised R&D factories cant: innovating fast and lean. This is exactly how breakthroughs happen. Not from bureaucratic moonshots, but from hungry teams the press ignores. Why does Silicon Valley keep confusing scale with progress?

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗖𝗖'𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲 The FCC is banning foreign-made consumer routers, citing espionage and supply chain risk. Fair enough. But where was this concern for the past two decades while American agencies were busy mandating backdoors in domestic networking gear? The problem was never just "foreign" routers. It is centralised, closed-source firmware you cannot audit, regardless of which flag flies over the factory. ⬩ Flash your router with open-source firmware like OpenWrt if your device supports it. You gain transparency no government certification provides. ⬩ Segment your home network. IoT devices on one VLAN, personal devices on another. A compromised smart kettle shouldnt reach your laptop. Banning foreign hardware while the NSA hoovers up domestic traffic through FISA 702 is not security policy. Its protectionism wearing a security costume. Who exactly are they protecting you from?

75-year-old Rose Docherty was arrested! For holding a sign reading "coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want" within a Scottish "buffer zone" Rose was kept in a cell for two hours, and refused a chair, despite having double hip replacement. This is Not Policing but Authoritarianism.

@DrJoeBoot Though they knew God, the worshiped him not as such and became futile in their minds, so God handed them over!

An elderly Christian woman, in the land of the great John Knox (Scotland), is arrested and jailed for silently offering conversation to anyone who might want to talk about their intent to murder their baby. If you want to save life, you are a criminal. Woe to us.

𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗣 𝗜𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲 Robert Malone leaving ACIP is not the story. The story is that a federal judge had to block the panel's work in the first place. ⬩ ACIP has operated for decades as a revolving door between vaccine manufacturers and the people who recommend their products to 330 million Americans. The conflicts of interest are structural, not incidental. ⬩ Malone's departure changes nothing about the core problem: an advisory body captured by the industry it's supposed to regulate. One dissenting voice leaving a broken panel doesn't fix the panel. The media will frame this as "anti-vaxxer retreats." Ask yourself why they never frame it as "compromised committee continues unchecked." Who exactly is ACIP advising for: the public, or the companies selling the product?

@chukwu_ji_okem @BGatesIsaPyscho I can't think of a nation in history it describes more accurately!

@RussellQuantum @BGatesIsaPyscho The Summary of the fate of the UK

🚨🇬🇧 Meanwhile in the UK UK Nottingham Forest Striker Taiwo Awoniyi could face additional punishment by the football Association. His crime? He displayed a T-shirt stating ‘God is the Greatest’. Every major institution has been corrupted beyond belief - they are all anti-Christian.

𝗟𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗟𝗟𝗠'𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗮𝘆 A malicious build of LiteLLM (v1.82.8) hit PyPI and silently exfiltrated SSH keys, AWS/GCP/Azure credentials, Kubernetes configs, and CI/CD secrets. 97 million monthly downloads. Found by accident: a memory leak crashed a developer's machine. Governments are spending billions regulating what AI models can say. Meanwhile the actual threat: poisoned dependencies in the software supply chain, goes almost entirely unaddressed. ⬩ Nobody voted on this. No committee reviewed it. One compromised package propagated through transitive dependencies like `dspy` to countless production systems. ⬩ Andrej Karpathy flagged it publicly. The "use more libraries" philosophy that modern development runs on is a massive unaudited attack surface, and the security establishment barely acknowledges it. Every AI safety hearing in Washington and Brussels obsesses over hypothetical superintelligence. Who's asking why a single PyPI upload can steal the keys to half the cloud infrastructure in Silicon Valley?

@petkov_vp Absolutely and it needs to be addressed!

@RussellQuantum That's a really interesting question...

𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗳𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗫-𝗥𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 AI-generated medical images are now good enough to deceive trained radiologists. Think about what that means: fabricated pathology on a scan, leading to unnecessary surgery, wrong diagnoses, fraudulent insurance claims. Or worse, real tumours erased from an image before a clinician ever sees it. ⬩ Radiology has spent a decade celebrating AI as a diagnostic aid. Almost nobody has invested seriously in AI as an attack vector against diagnostics. ⬩ Hospital PACS systems were designed for interoperability, not adversarial security. Most have zero authentication of image provenance at the pixel level. The medical establishment treats cybersecurity as an IT problem. Its not. When a forged scan changes a treatment decision, it becomes a clinical safety problem. How many diagnostic pipelines currently have any mechanism whatsoever to verify an image hasn't been tampered with?

Dad buys Bitcoin for $100,000. It grows to $5,000,000. If he sells, he owes tax on a $4.9M gain. Instead, he puts it in a trust. Borrows against it. Lives tax-free. Dies holding. Kids inherit at a $5M basis. IRS gets $0.

𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁-𝗢𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗲𝘀𝘁 Sber released GigaChat Ultra and GigaChat-3.1-Lightning under MIT licence. Dense-to-MoE architecture, native FP8 for DPO training, 1.8 billion active parameters on the lightweight model. All open. ⬩ While the EU drafts compliance paperwork and Washington debates AI licensing, a Russian bank just shipped production-ready open source models anyone can deploy on-premise. No permission required. ⬩ The Lightning model runs 1.8B active params: lean enough for corporate deployment, good enough for real products. This is what open source competition actually looks like. Western regulators keep insisting safety requires gatekeeping. Meanwhile every country they claim to be protecting against is building in the open. Who exactly is regulation slowing down?

Solana builders, assemble

@abrahym72403510 Absolutely, we have to become much more refined in our approach to AI models!

@RussellQuantum The difference between scale and depth The industry is currently inflating 'memory' while ignoring 'logic.' Scale without a World Model is just smarter repetition, not true intelligence. LeCun is searching for the engine, while everyone else is just looking for a bigger fuel tank

𝗟𝗲𝗖𝘂𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝗜𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 While the entire industry chases bigger transformers and longer context windows, Yann LeCun's LeWM research quietly addresses the actual bottleneck: representation collapse in world models. The embeddings go redundant and everyone just patches it with heuristics. ⬩ This matters because world models are how AI moves from pattern-matching to genuine reasoning and planning. If your latent space collapses, no amount of scale saves you. ⬩ The mainstream narrative obsesses over scaling laws. LeCun is solving the architectural flaw that scaling cannot fix. Open research like this, published for everyone to build on, is precisely how the field advances. Why is the industry pouring billions into brute-force scale when the foundational representations are broken?

𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘁 𝗗𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜, 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆'𝗿𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝘁 The gap between "we use AI" and "AI runs our operations" is enormous, and most firms are stuck on the wrong side of it. Conferences about deploying ML pipelines keep selling out because the truth is uncomfortable: the majority of enterprise AI projects never leave the pilot stage. ⬩ The bottleneck isn't the models. @OpenAI, @Meta, and open source give you world-class inference for pennies. The bottleneck is that most organisations lack the engineering culture to integrate AI into production systems. They hire data scientists, not systems engineers. ⬩ Meanwhile, Chinese firms ship AI into production in weeks while Western companies spend months on "AI ethics reviews" and compliance theatre that protects nobody exept incumbents. The companies that will dominate the next decade aren't the ones experimenting with AI: they're the ones who've already replaced entire workflows with it. If your firm still has an "AI strategy committee," you've already lost. The question isn't whether AI works. It's whether your organisation deserves to survive the transition.
