🤖 LATEST: Two Amazon warehouse robots reportedly got stuck in an aisle, repeatedly shuffling back and forth after failing to coordinate which one should move first.

@WatcherGuru Oh look, the grass is green 😄

JUST IN: Elon Musk says most cryptocurrencies are "scams" during OpenAI court testimony. "Some of them have merit, but most of them are scams."

A student used AI to cheat his way through an entire Amazon interview. Then recorded himself doing it. Then posted the video online. Amazon saw it. Called Columbia University. Threatened to stop hiring from the school entirely unless they expelled him. Columbia expelled him. He posted about the expulsion on Twitter. VCs saw it. $5 million raised in 24 hours. Roy Lee did not just build an interview cheat tool. He accidentally ran the most insane product launch in Silicon Valley history. Got expelled. Went viral. Raised $5 million. All in the same week. The rules of how to build a company just changed and most people did not notice. The best marketing is not an ad campaign. It is a story so unbelievable that people cannot stop sharing it. Roy Lee did not plan any of this. He just refused to hide what he was doing. And the internet rewarded him with $5 million.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.” White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.

Let me tell you what's actually happening with crypto regulation in America right now because the media won't say it plainly. Sen. Cynthia Lummis co-authored the CLARITY Act. A real bill. With real teeth. It draws a clear line between what's a commodity and what's a security. It splits jurisdiction cleanly between the SEC and CFTC so crypto projects actually know which rules apply to them. It protects retail investors. It gives builders legal certainty so they stop fleeing to Dubai and Singapore. She did this because it's the right thing to do. Full stop. Now let's talk about Brian Armstrong. Brian Armstrong is the CEO of Coinbase the largest centralized crypto exchange in the United States. He tweets about decentralization. He talks about financial freedom. He posts about how much he cares about crypto's future. And then his company's lobbyists go to Washington and work overtime to make sure the CLARITY Act never passes in a form that actually means anything. Why? Because regulatory clarity is Coinbase's worst nightmare. Think about it. Right now, nobody knows exactly which crypto assets are securities, which are commodities, and who regulates what. That chaos sounds bad and for regular users, it is. But for Coinbase? It's a goldmine. When the rules are undefined, only the biggest players with the most lawyers and the deepest pockets can navigate the system. Startups can't. New exchanges can't. Competitors can't. Ambiguity IS Coinbase's moat. The moment the CLARITY Act passes real version, not a watered-down lobby-written version the playing field levels. Clear rules mean new entrants can compete. Clear rules mean DeFi protocols know what they're building toward. Clear rules mean Coinbase loses the invisible advantage it's been quietly hoarding for years. So Armstrong does what every powerful incumbent does when legislation threatens their position: he dresses up self-interest as principle. He'll tell you the bill isn't ready. He'll say the definitions aren't right. He'll find some technical objection that sounds reasonable on the surface. But look at who benefits from the bill NOT passing. Look at who benefits from another two years of regulatory limbo. Look at who's still standing when smaller competitors get crushed under legal uncertainty. It's Coinbase. Every time. Cynthia Lummis doesn't have a financial stake in this outcome. She's a senator from Wyoming who has consistently put crypto users actual people, actual retail investors ahead of the industry's biggest gatekeepers. She caught hell for it. She kept going. Brian Armstrong has a multi-billion dollar reason to keep the rules exactly as confusing as they are right now. One of these people is fighting for crypto. The other is fighting for Coinbase. They are not the same thing.

This about sums about this cycle for altcoins 😅

bro, it's so over for designers google stitch is insane. 🤯

@cryptomanran If AI outbids miners for electricity, miners just… turn off until the difficulty adjusts and it’s profitable again. That’s literally how Bitcoin works. But congrats on discovering markets.

Bad news: Actors are cooked. Stuntmen are now obsolete. Good news: Actors will no longer be seen as "stars" but mere models. They will return to their proper place in society, as they were in ancient times: at the lowest rung.

big thanks to @the_mindfolk bros for having me on. we talked about everything from @FidelionNFT to @xitadel_fi (w a little AI topic in) check it out if you’re curious about what we’re building next :)

If science class explained everything with Midwest emo music, we would have a lot more people paying attention. Nuclear power explained. It’s just a fancy way to heat water and make electricity. 🔊
