IDLE: The Game public beta goes live in 24 hours. A browser MMO built on top of IDLE Protocol - open it, your device joins the global compute network. Play. Earn. No downloads. No setup. How it works: WebGPU gives websites direct access to your GPU. The game is lightweight by design - it only uses a fraction of your chip. While you play, the remaining GPU power executes compute jobs routed through IDLE Protocol. Settled in USDC on Solana automatically. The game runs. The network earns. Every player adds GPU power to the network. As the network scales, devices combine to run distributed inference, rendering, and large-scale data processing - all split across players in real time. For anyone that wants early access - DM us and we'll get a few of you in 👾



Open letter to @pmarca: A16Z persuading Republicans that the risk of an AI "job apocalypse" is a "complete fantasy"[1] poisons the Right's ability to craft its own policy response, ceding the issue to the Left (see @SenSanders's American AI SWF today). This is incredibly unwise. Succinctly, my argument: 1. AI may cause significant job displacement, temporary or permanent 2. Some government response, such as UBI and/or retraining, may be necessary to maintain social stability 3. The Tech Right, led by @a16z, rules this out on principle, treating mass AI job displacement as a logical impossibility (the lump of labor fallacy) 4. @a16z is therefore steering the Right into a posture of non-preparation, ceding the entire policy response to the Left 5. AI is a major political issue today, and will likely be the biggest by 2028 as capabilities increase (scaling laws+ P(RSI)) 6. The cost of surrendering this issue could be steep: the midterms, the 2028 presidency, and with the Left newly empowered, political persecution of the Tech Right You don't have to believe AI job displacement will happen; you only have to accept it might. The voters already have. On that basis alone, the Right needs a plan NOW. [1] @DavidGeorge83



San Antonio libraries have launched a "Read Like Wemby" campaign featuring Victor Wembanyama’s favorite fantasy and sci-fi books. Since launching, nearly 160 books have been checked out or put on hold, and local kids are taking photos with life-sized Wemby cutouts. (Via @MirinFader)





Pyth has added 4 new futures feeds: cocoa, coffee, raw sugar, and live cattle It sounds niche but there’s a catch Commodities today aren’t just boring Excel spreadsheets used by CME traders. Trade wars, climate shocks, logistics collapses soft commodities and livestock are breaking volatility records. And until now, there has been almost no on-chain access to these prices. Pyth Pro is now filling that gap: ↓ CA - Cocoa (ICE) ↓ CF - Coffee (ICE) ↓ RS - Raw Sugar (ICE) ↓ LC - Live Cattle (CME) They join corn, wheat, soybeans, oil, gas, gold, and silver. All through a single API at pythdata.app > In total, the catalog now has 3,000+ feeds*crypto, stocks, FX, commodities. In early 2025, Pyth surpassed 1,000 on-chain feeds. Now the catalog is three times larger and continues to grow every week. > Why do builders need this? Prediction markets, perps, and structured products on a multi-asset basis no longer do you need to pay legacy data vendors $50k/year for the same thing From BTC to beef everything is on-chain. One position at a time
