Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

@SBF_FTX @realDonaldTrump get lost man. spend your time thinking about what you did, instead of tweeting.

@realDonaldTrump does regime change right. Compared to Iraq and Afghanistan, what he did in Iran and Venezuela is surgical: get the results a decade-long ground war couldn't, for a fraction of the cost and casualties.

@PalmerLuckey So many concepts thrown out there to confuse and little else. There are fundamental freedoms that must NOT be touched by anyone, not even by a government or the military. Mass surveillance must NOT be within anyone's reach, elected or not.

This gets to the core of the issue more than any debate about specific terms. Do you believe in democracy? Should our military be regulated by our elected leaders, or corporate executives? Seemingly innocuous terms from the latter like "You cannot target innocent civilians" are actually moral minefields that lever differences of cultural tradition into massive control. Who is a civilian and not? What makes them innocent or not? What does it mean for them to be a "target" vs collateral damage? Existing policy and law has very clear answers for these questions, but unelected corporations managing profits and PR will often have a very different answer. Imagine if a missile company tried to enforce the above policy, that their product cannot be used to target innocent civilians, that they can shut off access if elected leaders decide to break those terms. Sounds, good, right? Not really - in addition to the value judgement problems I list above, you also have to account for questions like: -What level of information, classified and otherwise, does the corporation receive that would allow them to make these determinations? How much leverage would they have to demand more? -What if an elected President merely threatens a dictator with using our weapons in a certain way, ala Madman Theory/MAD? Is the threat seen as empty because the dictator knows the corporate executives will cut off the military? Is the threat enough to trigger the cutoff? How might either of those determinations vary if the current corporate executive happens to like the dictator or dislike the President? -At what level of confidence does the cutoff trigger, both in writing and in reality? The fact that this is a debate over AI does not change the underlying calculus. The same problems apply to definitions and use of ethically fraught but important capabilities like surveillance systems or autonomous weapons. It is easy to say "But they will have cutouts to operate with autonomous systems for defensive use!", but you immediately get into the same issues and more - what is autonomous? What is defensive? What about defending an asset during an offensive action, or parking a carrier group off the coast of a nation that considers us to be offensive? At the end of the day, you have to believe that the American experiment is still ongoing, that people have the right to elect and unelect the authorities making these decisions, that our imperfect constitutional republic is still good enough to run a country without outsourcing the real levers of power to billionaires and corpos and their shadow advisors. I still believe. And that is why "bro just agree the AI won't be involved in autonomous weapons or mass surveillance why can't you agree it is so simple please bro" is an untenable position that the United States cannot possibly accept.

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

@joshuatheard @g_co It is evident that the distinction between a president and a tyrant is not clear to you.

@g_co When you're elected President, we will do what you think we should do.

The penalty for not selling the Pentagon what it wants should be the loss of the contract, not government-mandated destruction of the company's market.

@SecWar Your place is in jail.

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

“The Department of War doesn’t do mass surveillance.”

@0xyellow_ @Antiiccs @VitalikButerin @Anthropic As a European: we see China gaining ground, but the US drift worries us more. A government lying Orwellian-style, daily curbs on freedoms, retaliation against dissent. US abandoning ethics reassures no one.

@Antiiccs @VitalikButerin @Anthropic I agree with you on how the people there are really wonderful and kind (having been there myself), but the industries and the government is something we need to look at differently, very differently.

It will significantly increase my opinion of @Anthropic if they do not back down, and honorably eat the consequences. (For those who are not aware, so far they have been maintaining the two red lines of "no fully autonomous weapons" and "no mass surveillance of Americans". Actually a very conservative and limited posture, it's not even anti-military. IMO fully autonomous weapons and mass privacy violation are two things we all want less of, so in my ideal world anyone working on those things gets access to the same open-weights LLMs as everyone else, and exactly nothing on top of that. Of course we won't get anywhere close to that world, but if we get even 10% closer to that world that's good, and if we get 10% further that's bad) CC @DarioAmodei firefly.social/post/bsky/pv7f…

@antoniopolito1 Sono allibito dalla bassezza dei suoi articoli. Indipendentemente da come la si pensi sulla Albanese, una sequela di attacchi personali non sostanziati. Nel 2026, vedere virgolettato "quello che lei ritiene un genocidio" poi è imbarazzante. Faziosità e malafede sono manifeste.

Honestly this cycle has been pretty easy All you had to do was long memes, then AI, then RWA, then memes again, then utility, then dog coins, then cat coins, then hippo coins, then 2021 L1s, then $ETH betas, then dino coins, then metaverse coins, then farm $HYPE, and hopefully you were awake when $TRUMP launched so you could full port and sell everything the following day while also avoiding $MELANIA $LIBRA and every subsequent celebrity grift, then long $PUMP at the ICO break out and sell the pico top, then rotate into $AVNT + $ASTER to catch the perp dex meta, then buy $XPL and sell everything as soon as the chart starts looking good, then use those profits to get into the $BSC meta that lasted literally 2 days, and also long $BTC but sell at each ATH because price will nuke as soon as it gets a whiff of price discovery, and better not hold anything for longer than 48h because you will roundtrip the farm, and every time the market sneezes your alts will jump off a cliff, and if you mistime any rotations by even a few hours then you will lose all of your money Pretty easy tbh

@heycape_ likely a scam - the site only has the connect wallet button, no social links, and the docs redirect to hyperliquid’s official docs. The only txs are buy/sell operations for the same amounts from the same wallets, likely to simulate real trading activity

39 mins ago I received a $8418+ worth of airdrop in thge form of $USDH (hyperliquid stablecoin?) someone pls tell me this is not a scam

@danielesesta oh man, new year, new scam - how are you and your friend not in jail yet 🙈

Launched first DeFi project of mine on $FTM now launching first AI Agent of mine on $S Sonic.

Love the art at @sumsub 🎨

13/ To sum up, ERC404 could colonize and reinvent many of the projects we already know in the coming months - definitely excited to see what the upcoming copycats will come up with in the next weeks.

12/ It's been a long time since we saw this kind of radical innovation appear in the NFT space. We're talking about a new standard that opens up new horizons for pretty much every web3 vertical.

1/ So $PANDORA is storming the NFT scene. The project launched by @maybectrlfreak and @0xacme has exploded in the last 48 hours, even though the utility of their NFTs is still to be fully realized. It's interesting nonetheless to talk about the (unofficial) ERC404 standard.
