$TAO holders, how much did the TAO foundation pay for marketing - surely Raoul Pal, Virtual Bacon, etc. didn’t make content for free? I haven’t found an answer - for a peer comp, Polkadot paid $37M a yr for it. Better yet, what are the overall operating expenses for the TAO foundation? How much are they paying for their staff, management, travel & entertainment, etc. It’s all reasonable right? It’s not being plundered to enrich themselves or anything like that right?


Iran : The Iranian Revolutionary Guard speaks for the second time about successfully "disabling" the aircraft carrier, Abraham Lincoln, and taking it out of service.

It’s time for Proof Of Human.

We needed to run trusted workloads on untrusted host machines. So over a year ago, we started building the Targon Virtual Machine to enable Confidential TEEs in production. Today we're sharing our white paper written alongside @intel: Decentralized Compute on Untrusted Hardware Using Intel® TDX and Encrypted CVMs

Bill Gates Calls for Digital ID "Systems & Behaviors" to Combat "Misinformation". "The U.S. is a tough one because we have the notion of the First Amendment. And so what are the exceptions?...I do think over time...you're going to want to be in an environment where the people are truly identified...We're going to have to have systems and behaviors that we're more aware of who says that, who created this?"

A revealing moment from a clip with Joe Rogan. He initially believes an AI-generated video — not because it’s perfect, but because it fits something he already believes. That’s the real challenge in the AI era. Synthetic media doesn’t need to fool everyone. It only needs to confirm what some people already think is true. The future of detection isn’t just technical. It’s about understanding how human bias and AI media interact.
