COโ monitors are surprisingly actionable i carried it with me everywhere; to my professors' basement offices, to my room where i lit candles, to my bedroom after just a few weeks of carrying it everywhere, i stopped needing it and changed certain behaviours forever

Stablecoins are exploding. Banks & fintechs are launching their own. What if stablecoin swaps across chains felt like using Venmo? At NEARCON, @kendaIIc explains how NEAR Intents make it possible with the Stablecoin Transport Protocol expanding across more stablecoins. Rec โ

NEAR.com is here! For the first time, you can transact confidentially with any asset, across all chains, with one account โ powered by @near_intents.


๐งต Just over a year ago, we unveiled NEAR Intents to the world with one goal โ building the universal liquidity layer by giving users access to all asset types and order types across chains. We've always believed that privacy-first should be the norm rather than an exception for anything on-chain and today with the launch of Confidential Intents, we've taken a big leap towards the end game for NEAR Intents. We are standing on the shoulders of giants (h/t Zcash) and commit to furthering individual sovereignty through practical privacy that can serve billions of agents and humans alike. This is our biggest product release till date for NEAR Intents and several nodes across the NEAR ecosystem (DeFuse Labs, NEAR One, Proximity Labs, NF) came together to make this happen. Try near.com today and experience confidential intents yourself. Coming soon to frontends across crypto. We are only getting started. Accelerate. ๐ก๏ธ

Use NEAR AI Private Chat and you can confidently talk to your AI like your lawyer.


Your AI conversations aren't privileged. Yesterday, Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that 31 documents a defendant generated using an AI tool and later shared with his defense attorneys are not protected by attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine. The logic is simple: an AI tool is not an attorney. It has no law license, owes no duty of loyalty, and its terms of service explicitly disclaim any attorney-client relationship. Sharing case details with an AI platform is legally no different from talking through your legal situation with a friend (which is not privileged). You can't fix it after the fact, either. Sending unprivileged documents to your lawyer doesn't retroactively make them privileged. That's been settled law for years. It just hadn't been tested with AI until now. And here's what really hurt the defendant: the AI provider's privacy policy (Claude), in effect when he used the tool, expressly permits disclosure of user prompts and outputs to governmental authorities. There was no reasonable expectation of confidentiality. The core problem is the gap between how people experience AI and what's actually happening. The conversational interface feels private. It feels like talking to an advisor. But unless you negotiate for an enterprise agreement that says otherwise, you're inputting information into a third-party commercial platform that retains your data and reserves broad rights to disclose it. Judge Rakoff also flagged an interesting wrinkle: the defendant reportedly fed information from his attorneys into the AI tool. If prosecutors try to use these documents at trial, defense counsel could become a fact witness, potentially forcing a mistrial. Winning on privilege doesn't make the evidentiary picture simple. For anyone advising clients or managing legal risk, this is a wake-up call. AI tools are not a safe space for clients to process their counsel's advice and to regurgitate their legal strategy. Every prompt is a potential disclosure. Every output is a potentially discoverable document. So what do we do about it? First, attorneys need to be proactive. Advise clients explicitly that anything they put into an AI tool may be discoverable and is almost certainly not privileged. Put it in your engagement letters. Make it part of onboarding. Don't assume clients understand this, because most don't. Second, if clients want to use AI to help process legal issues (and they clearly will, increasingly), then let's give them a way to do it inside the privilege. Collaborative AI workspaces shared between attorney and client, where the AI interaction happens under counsel's direction and within the attorney-client relationship, can change the analysis entirely. I'm excited to be planning this kind of approach, and I think it's where the industry needs to head. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscoโฆ

On Squawk Box, Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour struggles to answer why a Bad Bunny dancer -- who watched rehearsals -- betting on the Halftime Show predictions markets would not be considered insider trading. Sports was estimated to be 90% of betting on Kalshi during the NFL season.
