Watch the full @brtmoments documentary.

on new aesthetics saturday 5PM at Gray Area @GrayAreaorg RSVP below!

Introducing Dasher Tasks Dashers can now get paid to do general tasks. We think this will be huge for building the frontier of physical intelligence. Look forward to seeing where this goes!

Introducing the Art Blocks MCP server. Any AI agent can now discover, browse, and collect from 500+ on-chain generative art projects.  Plus countless other possibilities. Check out potential use cases for Collectors, Artists, Researchers and Developers 👇

And live portraits by @tylerxhobbs to break the ice...

Going on five years since this live mint. It was a true synthesis of IRL experience and onchain minting: Wooster St gallery in SoHo, live jazz from @MakayaMcCraven, great crowd.

THEY DID IT. The SEC and CFTC just dropped a landmark document that officially classifies crypto assets. They're actually telling us which crypto assets are securities and which ones aren't - by name! THIS IS SOMETHING GENSLER REFUSED TO DO (he focused on prosecuting crypto out of existence) This rule doc gives crypto many of the benefits of the clarity bill - it lifts us out of the gray market - it gives every asset a path. It's almost like the Clarity act just passed by way of regulator. (of course, the actual clarity act will harden all this into legislation and make it irreversible in the event we get another Gensler, we still want it) This rule says there's 5 categories for crypto assets: 1) Digital Commodities - assets tied to a functional, decentralized crypto system (e.g., BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, ADA, DOGE). Not securities. (yes, they name them on page 14) 2) Digital Collectibles - NFTs, meme coins, artwork tokens, in-game items. Not securities (fractionalized collectibles may be an exception). 3) Digital Tools - membership tokens, credentials, domain names (e.g., ENS). Not securities. 4) Stablecoins - payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act are not securities. Other stablecoins, it depends. 5) Digital Securities - tokenized versions of traditional securities. Like tokenized stocks. Always securities. Amazing! This makes so much sense I can't believe it's coming from a regulator. No more enforcement threats to Ethereum developers and crypto exchanges. How about the Howey test? More common sense! If an issuer makes specific promises of managerial efforts from which buyers expect profits, the offering is a security until those promises are fulfilled. Then it's a commodity. The asset itself was never the security, the deal around it was. (E.g. XRP was a security pre launch, became a commodity after). How about stuff like staking and mining? Mining? Not a securities transaction. Staking? Also not a securities transaction, that includes custodial and liquid staking even with LSTs! How about wrapping BTC? Not a securities transaction. Airdrops? NOT SECURITIES. NO MORE GEO BANS PROTECTING AMERICANS from free airdrops. Remember this is a joint doc from the SEC and CFTC, They're actually cooperating on this, no internal strife, this is binding to both. SEC regulates $80-100 trillion assets CFTC regulates $5-10 trillion assets Both of the world's largest capital markets are showing us that crypto assets are here to stay and they're welcome alongside traditional assets. Every country will follow. This is the biggest move toward legitimacy I've seen in all my time in crypto. Maybe bigger than the genius act since is covers all crypto assets. Well done @MichaelSelig and @SECPaulSAtkins. And especially well done to the indefatigable @HesterPeirce. Her fingerprints are all over this, couldn't have happened without her eight years of principles-based curiosity.

In his keynote , Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called OpenClaw the OS for Agentic Computers. He is right, and yet he is not really grokking the complete socio-cultural importance of the Claw movement. Here ismore context in my new article. om.co/2026/03/16/lob… (tip @techmeme)

The FCC threatens broadcast licenses for war coverage it dislikes the same week Habermas dies. His life's work — defending the communicative public sphere from state capture — is being stress-tested in real time by the forces he spent 96 years theorizing against.

Today, we're taking Manus out of the cloud and putting it on your desktop. Introducing My Computer, the core feature of the new Manus Desktop app. It’s your AI agent, now on your local machine.

New LET’S VIBE episode w Trevor McFedries / @whatdotcd who built the first AI agent by hand - Lil Miquela. Then built FWB as a weekend hack. Now he's at it again.

If I had a time machine, I’d go back and tell 1992 me, “The Command Line will be sexy in 2026.” 1992 me would never believe it, yet here we are. I was on stage at @sxsw in Austin yesterday with @CoinDesk’s @Liqquidity for a discussion about AI and security. Here’s the Reader’s Digest version of our talk:

We’re paying close attention to the open architecture emerging around AI agents. MCP, CLIs, skills, and protocols like x402 are becoming the Lego bricks of a new layer where agents can act, pay, and compose across the web. If you're building new native capabilities for agents, we’d love to talk.

@artxcode_io @maxkarlan @100o111 🙌

We're thrilled to announce that Mika Ben Amar (@100o111) has joined the ARTXCODE roster. Berlin-based and chronically online, Mika's practice asks what the internet actually does to us: how it captures our attention, monetizes our behavior, and shapes the way we see ourselves online.

“assistant” or “companion” are such boring mental models for agents i want agents that feel like: - daemons from his dark materials (externalized soul / externalized inner monologue) - “spirit” and “the universe” and “the divine” from woo tiktok (manifest what you want, agents work in the background to make your life luckier) - a personal trainer for the mind (help me become a better version of myself)
