Tansu is mainnet! After months of @BuildOnStellar I finally pushed the button. Excited to see where this goes. Register your project and come to the Stellar demo day on Tuesday to learn more 🚀 tansu.dev/blog/mainnet

@GergelyOrosz We should go back to using git as it was intended to be used. A decentralized forge. Or move to alternative systems like radicle.dev (I am not affiliated)

Massive L from GitHub One of the most embarrassing outage that can happen (a data integrity issue), and the response is "well, actually, it's only 0.07% of customers...") Customers whose workflow is messed up badly are fuming reading this. No respect for the customer...

@Cointelegraph And what did they pick for the secondary? You know, DORA requires you to have a backup.

🇪🇺 NEW: 12 European banks have tapped Fireblocks to power a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin, with a launch targeted for H2 2026.

Big moment for my voting platform! Proposals for @BuildOnStellar SCF Q2's Public Goods Award are live on Tansu 🥳 testnet.tansu.dev/governance/?na…

@ylecun @SagivMooly @Ph_Aghion @erikbryn That’s integrity 👏 Thata why you are the GOAT

Dario is wrong. He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market. Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic. Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

@JoshuaNoble_ @storachanetwork I migrated tansu.dev there. We are still evaluating things for the Public goods award for the Stellar Community Fund. So far it's rocking and noticeably faster so thank you! Definitely will take a plan after we validate the pilot. Because yeah, nothing is magic.

It looks like @storachanetwork is shutting down its IPFS service and giving customers very little time to react They even shortened their termination notice period down to 30 days: github.com/storacha/docs/… Apparently, marketing hot sauce did not generate the returns they hoped it would. If you need a new home for your IPFS data, @Filebase is your best option. We've been operating since 2019, running one of the fastest and most reliable IPFS platforms - built entirely on bare metal. No hyperscalers. No third-party CDNs. Just performance, control, and predictable costs. Don't take my word for it - try it yourself. Our free tier is ready when you are. @storacha/an-update-on-storacha-and-important-news-for-you-and-your-data-15a5d10b7da0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@storacha/an-u…

Join us for our @BuildOnStellar Office Hour, we will share our latest progress on overhauling the Public Goods Award program with PGAtlas and Tansu luma.com/qv0s78pl

@Cointelegraph People still think they can escape the GIGN? 😆

🇫🇷 SECURITY: Mother-son kidnapped in France for a €400K crypto ransom demand on Apr 13. Freed by GIGN within 24h, 7 detained.

Another great session on @BuildOnStellar with @NoirLang 🚀 Onboarding more and more people to ZK on Stellar!

Stellar WA Builders — Day One starts now! We kick off with the official onboarding session for all accepted participants at 12 PM WAT. If you got that email, this is where it begins. Be there. Then, at 4 PM WAT, ZK track builders, you have your first dedicated session: Integrating ZK Proofs on Stellar, led by @PamphileRoy , Principal Engineer @theahaco . This is the technical foundation your build weekend will sit on. Do not miss it. Details for both sessions have been sent to your email. Check your inbox.

@lobstr @XRPLF @xrpl_commons @ParisBlockWeek Welcome to my XRPL friends out there 😉

🚨 NEW UPDATE: LOBSTR × XRP Ledger 🦞 XRP Ledger support is now live on LOBSTR. Create or import your XRPL wallet, manage $XRP and $RLUSD, send, receive, buy, and track everything, all from the app you already use. Here's everything you need to know 👇

@CryptoCyberia It was literally in the name. Mythos as in the plot of a tragedy 🎭

After seeing that Claude Mythos marketing turned out to be, as expected, a scam, I wanted to make a master list of tricks being used to market LLMs. The master list includes statements directly from leadership in the companies or from the "organic marketing" of people on social media, along with an explanation on how the scam works. This is my first attempt, so likely incomplete. The LLM Marketing Scams Master List v1: "Two more weeks" - the models will be good enough someday soon to do what we claim. "They're already good enough" - the models are already good enough to replace workers, but it hasn't happened yet because of x y z reasons. "We just built God in the backroom, and no, you can't see it" - the models they built in private are actually capable of doing the things we have been waiting for, but they can't let us see them yet for x y z reasons. "Actually they already have replaced jobs" - the layoffs that tech companies have been doing, citing AI as the reason, have already been replaced with current LLM tech, ignoring market conditions and past data on layoffs during such conditions. "You just don't know how to use then as well as me" - the models are good enough, but esoteric prompt engineering is required to get these results, and no, I won't teach you. "I built an app making big money with LLMs" - they claim they already have made startup companies, almost always SaaS companies, that are making them tons of money, but when you ask to see them, they won't show you. "You aren't using the right model" - claims that you must be using the wrong model and need to use Open Claude 420b-parameter Gemini Plus Pro 6.9 with 4RealThisTime HomerSimpson agent mode enabled. Note that this will be used to attack every study on the effectiveness of LLMs, since studies take time to complete and publish, with new models releasing more frequently than it's possible to complete and publish a study "You're falling behind" - claims that you need to use the bots now, even though they aren't good enough to fully automate any jobs, because otherwise, when the bots are good enough, you will lose your natural English skills required to prompt effectively. "All these companies are using LLMs, so do you think you know better than they do?" - pointing to claims of large companies deeply invested in LLMs being a success saying that LLMs are being used effectively, with no viewable results in the speed and/or quality of their company's output. "The benchmark score went up" - claiming improvements on the benchmarking tests given to their latest model, despite the training being specifically tuned to improve on these tests, and then conflating better benchmark scores with actually being more able to automate jobs or drastically improve worker productivity. "It can now count the letters in Strawberry/can now do things it famously couldn't do previously" - saying that it can now count the letters in Strawberry or instruct you on how to use a cup without a bottom, etc. is often done to suggest increased reasoning for the LLM, but often involves just hard coding an answer into the service. "It has escaped our control" - saying that they cannot control the LLM, implying it is conscious or living to some degree when really it just said words that it wasn't supposed to or an agent used an app that wasn't intended by the user's prompt when next-token predicting "It's feeling sad/scared/happy/angry, suggesting it is conscious" - they ask the LLM how it is feeling, and it next-token predicts a response that includes an emotion felt by humans, since training data is from human conversations online. "Costs are going down/the LLM service is profitable" - ignores training costs and capex for hardware, usually just referring to inference being profitable, which isn't even true in many cases. Training and capex is 95%+ of the total costs to serve the models. Did I miss any?

@zerotobuilder3 @charliermarsh @kozo2 Not much in web3 tbh. The narrative tends to be YOLO let’s go fast and find PMF before anything, including security…

@PamphileRoy @charliermarsh @kozo2 Feels like compliance is the forcing function, but culture is what sustains it. Have you seen any teams actually get that balance right?

We wrote up everything we do to secure our open source projects at Astral

@zerotobuilder3 @charliermarsh @kozo2 Compliance sadly. That’s the only thing people understand

@PamphileRoy @charliermarsh @kozo2 100%, but how do we get teams to treat this as baseline, not optional?

@TheEthanDing Working on their UX and uptime? Wait… maybe not

HOW IS IT NOT CONSIDERED NEWS AT ALL THAT PETER BAILIS, CTO OF WORKDAY, JUST LEFT TO JOIN ANTHROPIC AS AN ENGINEER

@maxkarpis Yeah no “AI” slop needed for any of that. Just good all context with all the metadata you already have on us is enough 🤷 also nice name, in French I would translate as: que du vent

Revolut is launching AIR (AI by Revolut) in the UK. "AIR is a sophisticated financial assistant deeply embedded into the Revolut ecosystem. It’s designed to turn complex financial management into a simple, natural conversation. " Money intelligence can: • Instant clarity: "How much did I spend on subscriptions last month?" • Real-time interventions: "Freeze my physical card and order a new one." • Lifestyle companion: "I’m in Tokyo next week. Set up my eSIM and check my insurance." Revolut says that personal data will not be stored by third parties. "AIR is a native part of the Revolut interface, accessible with a single gesture. Just swipe down from your Revolut home screen to meet AIR." Other countries launching soon. #RevolutAIR

@rep1cxyz @EthCC The industry is maturing, but the sentiment is positive IMO. All teams working on real long term projects I talked with are thriving. We just have less meme noise.

Just got back from @EthCC in Cannes. Not gonna talk about tech. This thread is about the real sentiment on the ground - what builders, VCs, and market makers are actually saying right now. It's not pretty. But you need to hear it. 🧵

@ThePrimeagen So funny how people are not seeing that. Most people hyping have a stake in doing so.

The only winner here is Anthropic Definitely not the product Definitely not the engineers / staff Definitely not the users
