The current state of play.

Ten lazy years can disappear the moment you lock in. Six months of discipline can erase a decade of drifting. Momentum is magic. It turns yesterday's failures into tomorrow's fuel.

I'm a big fan of the "GPS Theory" when you miss a turn, your GPS doesn't judge you, it recalculates. No matter how many detours you take, it finds another way forward. Life works like that too. You'll make mistakes, but your destination doesn't vanish. The route just changes.

Here’s some behind the scenes of my photo of Starship’s engines. I can’t imagine how intense it would be to stand there ~600 feet from ignition.

You can ride a bicycle across six Japanese islands. 43 miles of ocean below you. Six giant suspension bridges built specifically for cyclists. You start in Hiroshima. You finish in Ehime. Along the way: sleepy fishing villages, lemon farms, soft-serve ice cream stands at every port, the sea breeze in every direction. Not a race. Not a tour. Just you, a bike, and an entire chain of islands the country built a road over so anyone could see them. It might be the best ride on Earth.

@SpaceX This is one of the best Starship Flight 12 videos; look at those sound waves!

$VVV : Review 📜 What if one of Bitcoin's earliest advocates built the private, uncensored AI platform that ChatGPT should have been, and then burned 42% of the token supply just to prove he wasn't in it for the money? Meet Venice AI - a privacy-first generative AI platform where your conversations are never logged, your data is never stored, and the models are never censored. 2 million+ users. 50,000+ daily active. 42.8% of supply permanently burned. Fiat revenue buying and burning tokens monthly. Built on Base by Erik Voorhees, the man who created ShapeShift and has been in Bitcoin since before most people knew what a blockchain was. Let's explore how Venice is building the AI platform the cypherpunks would have designed. 👇 ⚪ Venice at a Glance Venice AI is a privacy-focused decentralized inference platform designed as an alternative to centralized AI systems such as OpenAI and Google Gemini. Unlike traditional AI platforms that store user data, impose restrictive moderation systems, and collect behavioral data, Venice positions itself as an uncensored, privacy-preserving infrastructure layer for AI. The ecosystem uses a dual-token system: $VVV (staking, governance, burns, yield) and $DIEM (AI compute access). VVV launched January 27, 2025 on Base with a genesis supply of 100 million tokens. As of May 2026, $VVV trades around $18 with a market cap of approximately $800M. Since December 2025, VVV has surged more than 1,500%. ATH was $23.45. 2 million+ registered users and 8.8 million monthly visits. Venice has now permanently destroyed approximately 42.8% of the total supply. Marketplace Insight: VVV was listed on Robinhood for spot trading in May 2026, surging 17-22% on the announcement. Whale accumulation continues with large holders steadily buying through the $19 resistance level. The Sub Burn Program rates doubled in April 2026. Annual token emissions are being cut from 8M to 3M by July 2026. When a platform with 2M users burns 42% of its supply and then doubles its burn rate, the supply math gets very simple. ⚪ Mission Venice's mission is to provide private, uncensored, and open-source generative AI to everyone. "In a world of growing AI integration into our daily lives, we believe it is crucial that humans are able to interact with machine intelligence without centralized surveillance and control," Voorhees said. Venice exists because ChatGPT logs your data, censors your prompts, and sends your conversations to corporate servers. Venice does none of that. 🔵 A Brief History Venice AI was founded in May 2024 by Erik Voorhees and Teana Baker-Taylor, reaching 1.3M+ users by March 2026. Erik Voorhees is one of the most important figures in Bitcoin history. He's been in the space since 2011, founded ShapeShift (one of the earliest crypto exchanges), and has been a vocal advocate for financial privacy and individual sovereignty for over a decade. He self-funded Venice entirely, with no need for outside capital. Venice launched in May 2024 offering free access to open-source AI models for text, image, and code generation, with no account required for basic use. By late 2024, it had grown to 450,000+ registered users and 50,000 daily active users making 15,000+ inference requests per hour. VVV launched on January 27, 2025, with 50% of the genesis supply airdropped: 25% to 100,000+ early Venice users and 25% to the broader crypto-AI community on Base. Within two hours, VVV reached a $1 billion fully diluted valuation. Coinbase listed VVV within hours of launch. In March 2025, the Genesis Burn destroyed 33.68 million unclaimed airdrop tokens, permanently removing a third of the supply. In August 2025, Venice launched the DIEM token, creating a dual-token system where DIEM provides AI compute access while VVV handles staking, governance, and value capture. In May 2025, Venice launched a $27 million Incentive Fund for developers building private AI applications. Venice rolled out new encrypted AI interface models in March 2026, adding Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and End-to-End Encrypted (E2EE) modes via partnerships with NEAR AI Cloud and Phala Network. Four distinct privacy modes now let users choose their level of data protection. By May 2026, VVV listed on Robinhood and Crypto com, the Sub Burn Program doubled its rate, and annual emissions were cut from 8M to a planned 3M by July 2026. StrikeRobot partnership provides AI infrastructure for humanoid robots, expanding Venice beyond chat into physical AI applications. 🔵 Ecosystem Narrative Venice's ecosystem is built on one radical idea: AI should be private by default, uncensored by design, and owned by its users. Every product decision flows from this principle. Key dynamics include: ➛ Four privacy modes give users verifiable privacy, not just promises: anonymous proxy access, zero-data-retention processing, TEE (hardware-secured enclaves via NEAR AI Cloud and Phala Network with cryptographic attestation), and end-to-end encryption. ➛ Dual-token system: VVV for staking, governance, yield, and burns. DIEM for AI compute access, decoupling compute costs from token price volatility. Staking 100 VVV unlocks Pro features. ➛ Sub Burn Program uses fiat revenue to buy VVV from the open market and permanently burn it. Rates doubled in April 2026. This creates a direct link between platform revenue and token scarcity. ➛ 42.8% of original supply burned. Genesis Burn (33.68M tokens) + ongoing Sub Burns + emission cuts (8M to 3M by July 2026) = one of the most aggressive deflationary models in crypto. ➛ Open-source model access including GPT 5.2, DeepSeek, and leading open-source LLMs. Text, image, video, and code generation. No centralized censorship on outputs. ➛ Venice API enables developers and AI agents to access private inference programmatically, turning Venice into infrastructure, not just a consumer product. ➛ $27M Venice Incentive Fund supports developers building private AI apps, agents, integrations, model tooling, and dApps on the Venice API. ➛ StrikeRobot partnership extends Venice's AI infrastructure to humanoid robots, expanding the use case from digital chat to physical AI applications. ⚪ Token Utilities $VVV powers the private AI economy: ➛ Staking & Pro Access - Stake 100 VVV to unlock Pro features: faster processing, latest experimental models, higher-resolution image generation, and enhanced API access. ➛ Sub Burn (Revenue-Driven Deflation) - Fiat revenue from Pro subscriptions buys and burns VVV monthly. Rates doubled April 2026. Direct link between platform usage and token scarcity. ➛ Emissions Yield - Stakers earn yield from token emissions. APR varies based on platform usage and utilization rate. Emissions being cut from 8M to 3M annually by July 2026. ➛ Governance - VVV holders participate in ecosystem governance decisions. ➛ API Compute Access - Developers and AI agents use VVV/DIEM to access Venice's private inference API programmatically. ➛ DIEM (Companion Token) - Provides stable-priced AI compute access decoupled from VVV price volatility. Developers budget in USD terms while stakers benefit from VVV appreciation. ⚪ Key Features ➛ Privacy-First AI - Four verifiable privacy modes: anonymous proxy, zero-data-retention, TEE with cryptographic attestation, and end-to-end encryption. Not promises. Provable privacy. ➛ Uncensored Models - Access GPT 5.2, DeepSeek, and open-source LLMs without centralized content moderation. "If you want to use DeepSeek but don't want all your convos going to the CCP, use Venice." ➛ 42.8% Supply Burned - Most aggressive burn ratio in the AI token space. Genesis Burn + Sub Burns + emission cuts. Supply is actively shrinking. ➛ 2M+ Users, 50K+ DAU - Real platform with real users making real inference requests. 8.8M monthly visits. Not speculative infrastructure. ➛ Dual-Token (VVV + DIEM) - VVV for value capture, DIEM for compute access. Decouples developer costs from token price volatility. ➛ $27M Developer Fund - Funding private AI apps, agents, integrations, and infrastructure on Venice API. ➛ Robinhood & Crypto com Listed - Tier-1 retail exchange access as of May 2026. ➛ Erik Voorhees Founded - ShapeShift creator, Bitcoin OG since 2011, self-funded Venice with zero VC. One of crypto's most respected founders. 🔵 Meet the Venice Team Venice is led by two of the most credentialed people in the intersection of crypto and fintech, one a cypherpunk Bitcoin OG, the other a former VP at the company behind USDC. ▶️ Core Members: ➛ Erik Voorhees [ @erikvoorhees ] - Founder & CEO | One of the most important figures in Bitcoin history. In the space since 2011. Founded ShapeShift, one of the earliest and most influential crypto exchanges. Vocal advocate for financial privacy, individual sovereignty, and uncensored technology. Self-funded Venice entirely with no outside investors. Has been publicly buying tokenized gold ($23M+ across 28 addresses), signaling conviction in both crypto and hard assets. ▶️ Former: ➛ Teana Baker-Taylor [ @TeanaTaylor ] - Previous Co-Founder | Now CEO of BasedAI. Former VP at Circle (USDC issuer), previously worked at UK HM Treasury. Board advisor to CryptoUK Association. Contributed to Venice's early growth and institutional positioning before departing. 🔵 Ratings ➛ Use Case: ★★★★★ (5/5) - Venice is the most important consumer AI product in crypto. Not another "AI token" with no product. A real platform with 2M+ users, 50K+ DAU, and 8.8M monthly visits using GPT 5.2, DeepSeek, and open-source models with verifiable privacy. Four privacy modes including TEE with cryptographic attestation and E2E encryption. Uncensored inference that ChatGPT and Gemini won't provide. Venice API turning privacy AI into developer infrastructure. StrikeRobot extending to humanoid robots. In a world where every centralized AI platform logs your data, censors your prompts, and feeds your conversations to corporate training datasets, Venice is the product that cypherpunks, developers, and privacy-conscious users actually want. And 2 million people are already using it. ➛ Tokenomics: ★★★★✦ (4.5/5) - Venice has one of the most aggressive deflationary models in all of crypto. 42.8% of original supply permanently burned. Genesis Burn removed 33.68M tokens. Sub Burn Program uses real fiat revenue to buy and burn VVV monthly (rates doubled April 2026). Annual emissions being cut from 8M to 3M by July 2026. No presale. 50% airdropped to community. VVV surged 1,500%+ since December 2025. The dual-token system (VVV + DIEM) elegantly separates value capture from compute pricing. The 0.5 deduction is for the remaining team/Venice allocation vesting through 2026 (potential sell pressure), and the fact that despite the burns, the token is still emitting new supply (even if decreasing), meaning it's not yet net deflationary on an annualized basis. ➛ Audits: ★★★★ (4/5) - Venice holds a 4.2 star rating on CertiK, validating the project's security posture. The privacy architecture is genuinely innovative: TEE via NEAR AI Cloud and Phala Network with remote attestation, E2E encryption, and zero-data-retention processing. The codebase runs on Base (inheriting Ethereum L2 security). Coinbase listed VVV within hours of launch, implying institutional-grade due diligence. The $27M Incentive Fund and API infrastructure show real engineering investment. The 1-point deduction is because the platform is barely a year old, the privacy modes are novel and haven't had years of adversarial testing at scale, and for a platform handling private AI conversations for 2M+ users, continued security hardening and more visible formal auditing of the inference infrastructure would strengthen confidence. ➛ Community: ★★★★✦ (4.5/5) - Venice has built a community that spans crypto natives, AI enthusiasts, privacy advocates, and developers. Erik Voorhees' personal reputation as a Bitcoin OG brings immediate credibility and a loyal following. 2M+ registered users and 50K+ DAU are real product metrics, not speculative wallet counts. The Robinhood listing expanded retail access massively. Whale accumulation through the $19 resistance shows institutional conviction. The $27M developer fund is attracting builders. VVV's 1,500% surge since December 2025 generated massive organic attention. The 0.5 deduction is that the community is still young (VVV launched January 2025), and the intersection of AI users and crypto holders is still a niche audience. Most Venice users likely care about the AI product, not the token, which creates a gap between product adoption and token community depth. 🔵 Conclusion Venice AI is what happens when one of Bitcoin's earliest and most respected advocates decides that AI privacy is the next great battle for individual sovereignty, and then self-funds the entire solution himself. Erik Voorhees didn't raise VC money. He didn't do a presale. He airdropped 50% to the community, burned 42.8% of the supply, and built a product that 2 million people are actually using every day. The Sub Burn Program converts real subscription revenue into permanent token removal. Annual emissions are being cut from 8M to 3M. The supply is actively shrinking while the user base is actively growing. That's the math that matters. The privacy innovation is real: four verifiable modes including TEE with cryptographic attestation and end-to-end encryption. The product is real: GPT 5.2, DeepSeek, text, image, video, and code generation with no logging and no censorship. The adoption is real: 2M+ users, 50K+ DAU, 8.8M monthly visits. The institutional validation is real: Robinhood, Crypto com, Coinbase all listed. The risks are clear: the platform is barely a year old, the team is small (two founders), the privacy modes are novel and haven't been adversarially tested at scale, no formal third-party audit has been published, and the AI space moves so fast that today's innovation is tomorrow's baseline. The token still emits new supply, even if decreasing. But here's the fundamental question the market is wrestling with: in a world where OpenAI logs everything, Google trains on your data, and governments demand backdoors into AI systems, how much is a private, uncensored AI platform worth? Venice has 2 million users who already answered that question with their wallets. And with 42.8% of supply burned, emissions halving, and fiat revenue buying more tokens to destroy every month, the answer is getting more expensive to arrive at.

We need heat shields to protect us, since we use the air to slow us down as we return to Earth. From orbital speed, it gets to 1650°C / 3000°F. From the Moon: 2750°C / 5000°F. For yesterday's Starship suborbital test flight, peak was 1450°C / 2600°F. Great to see the @SpaceX progress over the last 3 flights. Making them truly reusable is complex and necessary for permanent, cheap space access. image compilation: @niccruzpatane

THIS IS HOW AI BUBBLE ENDS. SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all racing to IPO at the same time. The market needs to come up with $200 BILLION in fresh capital to absorb them. That money has to come from somewhere. Large funds will start selling their biggest tech positions to free up cash. NVIDIA, Microsoft, Google will be the first to get sold. The problem is, those three names are carrying the entire S&P 500. When they drop, everything drops. This exact setup played out during the COVID-era IPO wave. Rivian, Coinbase, Robinhood all went public at absurd valuations. When the Fed tightened and liquidity disappeared, every single one crashed over 80%. AI and tech are already stretched thin. A $200B capital drain on top of that creates a forced liquidation event. If you've been following me, you already caught the $16k bottom and the $126k top. Missed those calls? The next one is coming. Follow me and turn notifications on.

A farmer dies in April 2026. His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847. The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle. On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify. In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable. The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft. The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let. A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up. The Treasury collects £140,000. The land never produces British food again.

A dad took a photo of a rash on his sick toddler so the doctor could see it over video. It saved to Google Photos by itself. Two days later Google had wiped his email and phone number and reported him to the police for child abuse. The police looked into it and cleared him completely. Google still would not give his account back. That same year another dad in a different state went through the exact same thing, and the New York Times wrote about both of them in 2022. The manga artist in this post fell into the same machine. Anything you save to Google Drive or Google Photos gets scanned and turned into a kind of digital fingerprint, a short code that stands in for your file. Google compares that code against a huge list of files it has already banned, like pirated movies or known abuse photos. The newer software does not even wait for a match. It looks at a picture it has never seen and makes its own guess about whether you broke a rule. When the software flags you, the damage does not stop at one file. Your Google login is also your YouTube, your photos, sometimes your phone service, and the button you click to log into dozens of other websites. One flagged upload can lock you out of all of it at once, which is how the artist lost things that had nothing to do with Drive. This post asks how long Google has been doing this, and the numbers answer it. In a single six-month stretch, Google reported more than a million files to the national center that tracks child-abuse material and shut down about 270,000 accounts. Some of those people did nothing wrong, like the two dads. Getting back in is nearly impossible. A law from 1996 gives tech companies broad legal cover for decisions like this, and the fine print you agreed to lets Google shut your account whenever it likes. The dad the police cleared never got his back, even after officers confirmed he had done nothing wrong. Anything you upload to Google can be scanned by software with the power to shut down your whole online life on its own, before a single person ever reviews the decision. The manga artist is just the latest to find that out.

Pentagon: “Possible UFO footage.” OSINT community: “It’s a fucking inflatable Stormtrooper balloon.” Billions in military intelligence, defeated by internet autists with frame-by-frame analysis and free time.

A guy named nbatman on Reddit accidentally built the most useful website on the internet. It's called FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah). This is the website Google delisted from search for DMCA violations, Reddit shadow-banned for promoting piracy, the Motion Picture Association flagged as a top piracy threat, and the RIAA pressured hosting providers to drop. It is still online. It is still updated every month. Here's how it works. FMHY is the index. The wiki itself hosts nothing. It just tells you where every free thing on the internet actually lives, organized into 14 categories with safety ratings on every single link. → Movies and shows in 4K from 50+ streaming sites → Music at Spotify and Apple Music quality → Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, AutoCAD, JetBrains → Every paid course on every major learning platform → 100 million books and papers through Anna's Archive → Free alternatives to every paid AI tool → A SafeGuard browser extension that flags unsafe sites in real time It started as a single Google Doc maintained by one Reddit moderator in 2018. Google killed it with a DMCA takedown in 2023. The community rebuilt the wiki on its own domain, mirrored it to GitHub and IPFS, and now runs it across 12 backup domains simultaneously. There is no company. No CEO. No central server. Six anonymous volunteers maintain the entire thing in their spare time. Donations through Ko-fi pay for the hosting. Nobody profits. Hollywood can't shut this down. Spotify can't shut this down. Adobe can't shut this down. The entire subscription economy is held together by you not knowing this wiki exists. fmhy.net

@jmhagerman @elonmusk Simply: because your metric of "success" isn't aligned with what @SpaceX had as their metric of "success" for this mission.

@elonmusk I just don’t understand how this is a success? Sure, you captured lots of inflight data but you are still landing the starship in the ocean and it blew up afterward. How does that rate a standing ovation and celebration?
