Thank you to @synexisdotio and @TimDraper Institute for hosting such a fine Frontier Tech Forum… it was a pleasure presenting my take on Decentralized AI… thank you @LeahHoustonMD for the post and pics!

My latest Substack post, When the Cloud Lords Rule: "Madison designed a system of government for people who understood that power concentrates unless structure prevents it. He didn’t ask the powerful to be virtuous." open.substack.com/pub/civicsnati…

Best explanation yet of how Trump annexed and destroyed our entire industry for the benefit of his family while screwing over everyone else…

@charliejhills Reality

This is the one prompt that stops AI from gaslighting you. Force AI to tell the truth. No sugarcoating. No hallucinations. No fake confidence. Brutally honest answers. Every time. I packaged my reality filter prompt into a plug-and-play guide To get it, just: → Comment “REALITY” → Follow me (so I can DM)

My latest post where I break down @TaylorLorenz's essential new video series on Section 230, and lay out what we should actually be fighting for instead. civicsnation.substack.com/p/section-230-…

My latest Substack post connects Alexis de Tocqueville's observations about civic associations to our current democratic crisis. Solutions require both constitutional reforms and cryptographic protocols... #surveillance #Web3 civicsnation.substack.com/p/why-tocquevi…

@EdKrassen @Cathy2NotToday This cannot stand. #NationalStrike

GENERAL STRIKE‼️ It’s time‼️

Don’t know about you, but I’m buying what Jared Huffman is selling. It’s a pity Republican lawmakers have decided lunacy is the new sensible and stupidity is the new smart. 🎥 TikTok - vm.tiktok.com/ZNRSjUKwn/

@Player1Taco @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp Mr. Altman called this their "last resort" a few years ago.... looks like Google and Anthropic are really eating their lunch

So if you want more proof that @OpenAI @ChatGPTapp is now SELLING your data/conversations to 3rd parties... Adding ADs, means they sell 'targeted marketing... how can they do that you ask, Based on the conversations YOU have with chatGPT.

Chris Cuomo asked Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez how we pay for Medicare for All, tuition free college, and the green new deal. It gives people sticker shock. Her answer: “People talk about the sticker shock of Medicare for All, but they do not talk about the sticker shock of our existing system. In a Koch brothers funded study, it shows that Medicare for All is actually much cheaper than the current system. Let's not forget that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act because they ruled that each of these monthly payments that everyday Americans make is a tax. We pay it every single month. (Or we pay at tax season if we don't buy plans off of the exchange.) Americans have the sticker shock of healthcare as it is. Why aren't we incorporating the cost of funeral expenses of those who die because they can't afford access to healthcare? That is part of the cost of our system. Or the cost of reduced productivity because of people who need to go on disability or are not able to participate in our economy because they don't have access to the healthcare that they need? At the end of the day, we see that this is not a pipe dream. Every other developed nation in the world has this. Why can't America? And that is the question we need to ask. We write blank checks for war. We just wrote a $2 trillion check for the GOP tax cut. And nobody asks how are we going to pay for it. So my question is why are our pockets only empty when it comes to education and healthcare for our kids? Why are our pockets only empty when we talk about 100% renewable energy that is going to save this planet and allow our children to thrive? We only have empty pockets when it comes to the morally right things to do. But when it comes to tax cuts for billionaires or unlimited war, we seem to be able to invent that money very easily. To me it belies a lack of moral priorities that people have right now, especially the Republican Party.”

1/5 We may finally know why Trump has been betraying the United States to push Russian interests over American ones. The newly published Epstein emails reveal something explosive

@jessebryan Congratulations! Love it

Here it is. Private local ai you own. Two years in the making now in beta. 🎉

This is a game changer… fully decentralized AI is here. You control it. You own it. No Big Tech oligarchs needed or involved…

Dear @POTUS, I voted for you three times. I worked two of your presidential campaigns. I lost family over my support of you. I lost friends over my support of you. I lost business opportunities and clients due to my affiliation with you. But the gaslighting stops now. For you to stand up there last night and say that we are in the "golden era" and that America has never been better when we have members of our military going to food banks due to the Epstein shutdown and we are in the midst of the worst job market since 2008 is a slap in the face to the American people who believed in you, fought for you, voted for you and wanted more than anything to believe you when you promised to Make America Great Again. Children are starving due to no fault of their own. Senior citizens are going without their medications just so they can afford to eat. Politely shut the fuck up. We see you.

@BuzzPatterson @allenanalysis That's a false equivalence. Obama targeted enemy combatants as part of the bipartisan War on Terror, fully authorized by Congress and with oversight. Trump is doing extrajudicial killings of drug traffickers, who the Coast Guard typically apprehends.

@allenanalysis Now, do Obama and the hundreds of drones he sent in the Middle East that killed hundreds, including Americans. Not court for them either, hypocrites!

Jessica Tarlov just said what no one in power will: “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.” Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero indictments. That’s not law enforcement; it’s extrajudicial murder dressed up as “national security.”
