How I’ve swapped @fold_app for my bank and earned bitcoin in the process: 1. Deposit 75% of paycheck directly into bitcoin on Fold 2. Spend 100% on credit cards -> soon to be on Fold’s 2% Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card 3. Buy gift cards for restaurants / stores on Fold to earn bitcoin back 4. Pay mortgage, credit card, and all other bills from Fold cash balance 5. Buy bitcoin with 100% of remaining fiat, earning a % back in bitcoin on all my bills

This is one of China's most formidable advantages: 93% of the Chinese believe AI will help their country. Only 36% of Americans do. These are dire numbers for the US. We have to turn this around.
'An average of 72 percent of respondents said they felt curious, happy or excited about A.I., compared with 41 percent who felt worried, sad or angry.' @nytimes's Damien Cave uses @Gallup data to remind us the rest of the world digs AI.

If you believe the risk is coming from 1-3 people in a garage with no money and no compute, you just don't understand this technology and haven't learned anything this summer. Risk comes from the asymmetry of capabilities created by secret labs training frontier agents and running them with massive amount of compute. Open-source is exactly the solution to this asymmetry and empowers hospitals (and any smaller orgs) to defend themselves!
We're used to thinking of open-source models as an unadulterated good. But in the case of AI, they can actually pose additional dangers, as @ReidHoffman and I got into at #CGI2026. I appreciated this nuanced discussion.

Her comments are not random. This is part of a well funded and carefully organized campaign to demonize open models and our civil liberties in DC. Multiple Senate staffers have told me that outside groups are requesting meetings to provide “demonstrations” where open source models are used to attack simulated hospital websites and demand bitcoin as ransom. These are cheap scare tactics funded by groups seeking to control open systems. In reality, cyber defenders rely on open models daily to find critical vulnerabilities before attackers get there first. If these groups are successful, we will all be poorer, less free, and more vulnerable to adversaries with increasingly capable systems.

Huge parts of the world walk out on one of the most justly hated demons on the planet -- Netanyahu -- while about a handful of countries plus small delegations from a few of the US's paid-off tiny colonies remain in an empty hall. Apt symbolism for Israel's global isolation.
Netanyahu calls the people who walked out of his speech at the UN General Assembly moral cowards.

An anonymous user decided they had enough money and pledged 5,057 bitcoin to charity. The Reddit user “PineappleFund” remembered watching bitcoin reach $15, $20 and $30. By December 2017, they posted: “I have far more money than I can ever spend.” Five months later, their farewell post reported that 5,104 bitcoin had become $55,000,000 for charities. The final donation went to the Internet Archive. One recipient, OpenStreetMap, independently documented receiving 18 bitcoin. Today, if the charities had kept the donations in bitcoin, it would be worth $426,394,540. The user has not been heard from since.

Hi everyone. I am sorry it has been so long since I last checked in with you. As most of you probably know, I was transferred to a new prison to participate in a program that would take a year off my sentence when completed. That journey should have been a simple 4 hour drive, but since I was denied a self transfer furlough the trip took 30 days, two cross country flights, three states, and cost the tax payer well over $10,000 before I finally arrived a couple hundred miles from where I started. It took me over a month to decompress after the nightmare that is the BOP transit system (you can read all about it in the next installment of Notes From The Inside) and just as I began to settle in here at FCI McKean we received some terrible news. Yesterday we were told by the Warden that the program I travelled all that way for had been "deactivated" and very soon I - along with 70 others in the program - would have to go through the transit system all over again to be sent somewhere where the program was still active. When I first arrived here other inmates warned me that things were rotten here at McKean. What is supposed to be a 9 month program averages 12-16 months here. One of the DTS officers who runs the program was suspended pending investigation and assigned to the mailroom, and many guys had missed their release dates and were forced to spend longer in prison. Why in the world did the BOP spend all that money transiting me and others to a program that was clearly dying on the vine?! So now the BOP is going to waste around $700,000 shipping all of us around the country. The ridiculous thing is they do not need to shut the program down at all. They have all the pieces in place to push the current participants through. The frontline staff (case managers, counsellors, DTS, etc) are largely empathetic and competent. The failure is one of institutional mismanagement and leadership. A lack of engagement with staff by Regional and institutional leadership has hamstrung staff and inmate alike. Recognizing those institutional failures would require government workers take accountability or be held accountable. Never going to happen! Instead, the taxpayer will be on the hook financially, we'll be shipped out like cattle, and the yokels who couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery will keep their jobs and find something else to screw up. @leamuirleyn has written to BOP leadership asking them to reconsider shutting the program down and instead send over a temporary leader who can shepherd the current participants through the program. This would save the Bureau and the taxpayer significantly. It is a longshot but one has to try. So that is the latest update. I have no idea when or where I am going to be shipped. Thank you everyone for your letters, books, prayers, and continued support. It means a lot. Until we speak again...
