AI is changing more than tech now it’s rewriting how humanity discovers history itself 👀 Hidden cities, ancient geoglyphs, lost civilizations all being uncovered with AI-powered research tools. This is one of the most fascinating @geoprotocol deep dives I’ve seen lately 🔥🌍

I want to get a bit more public about the work we at the Kohaku Initiative inside the EF are doing I notice there's hype but there's also confusion. Best way to clarify things is to speak candidly and openly about what I'm working on day-to-day 🧵time (bc i dont pay twitter $)

Hidden cities. Burnt scrolls. Ancient geoglyphs. AI is finding what humans couldn't. @LOstaevi catalogued the breakthroughs, the researchers, and the tools behind AI-accelerated archaeological discovery on Geo. Explore it here ↓ digital-antiquity.netlify.app

I hope ultimately crypto wins because the people that cared what it's about stick around and build the vision of what they saw I know that still seems remote, but it is possible only if you try Good news is the alternative (making slop for VC cash) seems to have completely died

I can understand the desire to focus on real products with real users. But if I may, I do think you’re throwing out the golden goose with the bathwater. Companies are great. We’ve had companies for hundreds of years. Are governments any less real than companies? Is the United States a fabricated idealist dream? Or is it an incredibly important and valuable entity? That is actually different from a company? The USD is the world’s most valuable currency. Is that fake? What gives Bitcoin its value? Does your model account for that? Real products, real networks, real users, solving real problems, big whole hearted yes. But don’t forget to remember what is cryptocurrency. And what our ultimate impact in the world will be.

I've been an Ethereum supporter since the early days and I still believe it's one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in crypto. The tech is great, my conviction hasn't changed in that respect. But watching 9 senior researchers and key operators leave the Ethereum Foundation in 2026 alone is something I can't just ignore. People like Tim Beiko, Josh Stark, Barnabé Monnot, Trent Van Epps, Carl Beek. These people weren't just random employees at the foundation, they were the foundation. You can call it restructuring, you can call it decentralization, whatever. But when your best people are walking out the door, that's a massive red flag regardless of what narrative you put around it. And honestly, this whole situation just reinforces something I've been feeling for a while now. I am so tired of chain wars, ecosystem politics and spending any more time debating how to price an asset than actually evaluating the businesses being built on top of it. I don't want to argue about L1 vs L2. I don't want to pick sides in some tribal war between ecosystems. I just want to back exceptional founders building real businesses with real revenue, real users and real products. Hyperliquid recently flipping Solana is another great example of how a great product and distribution can organically build an ecosystem top down, rather than trying to force it from the ground up. The infrastructure circle jerk and the idealistic cypherpunk phase of selling delusional dreams in crypto was great and fun, but it's over. The next decade will be dominated by much sharper founders building real businesses, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see some of these even flip ETH and SOL as they continue to bleed out. Time to grow up and play real games with real people.

An AI agent that gets better the longer it runs. Hermes writes and refines its own skills every time it encounters something new, remembers what it learns across sessions & compounds that knowledge over time. Full overview on Geo ↓ geobrowser.io/space/41e85161…

Interesting perspective. LLMs are powerful, but many people are starting to question whether scaling bigger models alone is enough for real intelligence. The debate around reasoning, memory, and system design is only getting started 👀

@hosseeb @lex_node @udiWertheimer 💪

@udiWertheimer We're still gigalong ETH

Ethereum is the Microsoft of crypto.

Ethereum is a substrate for economic transaction and coordination which does not require the use of trusted third parties there is no substitute for what it does, at the scale at which it can do it and it will be proven as essential tech in a world where the prevailing world order is rapidly collapsing and nation-states no longer trust each other in the same way they once did it is revolutionary technology. it is not tech designed to make you rich. it is tech designed to set you free; however i believe such tech has real economic value far greater than what we see today as a network, and as an asset (ETH), it has been profoundly misunderstood this is changing, through emergent legislative and policy clarity, and growing positioning by large financial institutions when it finally hits, it will hit all at once

Healthcare is being reshaped in real time, but most breakthroughs still live in disconnected articles, studies, and startup decks. @geoprotocol

100K stars in under 2 weeks. That was the moment people realized LLMs weren’t just chat tools they could act. AutoGPT changed the conversation around AI autonomy.

@econoar @rootslashbin Woohoo welcome back 💫
