🚨 Jensen Huang Says Something Seems REALLY Off About the AI Labs’ Doomer Narrative JENSEN: “I really don't believe that they're building something they have no idea how to control. Their whole company is out of control…” ANDERSON: “So why are they saying this?” JENSEN: “You're going to have to ask them.” ANDERSON: “I've talked to Dario Amodei and he says this is what I think.” JENSEN: “It doesn't make any sense to me that he would be racing ahead, building more compute then.”

Sam Altman is warning the world about Sam Altman, and says we need to stop Sam Altman because Sam Altman can’t stop Sam Altman.

Vlad Tenev said it on CNBC and again on our pod: tokenization is a freight train that will eat the entire financial system. Today, a stock, a building, a bond, and a loan are four different things held in four different systems. Tomorrow, they're the same programmable object on the same rails. Robinhood already has 200 tokenized stocks live, including SpaceX, which isn't even public. And AI agents on his platform are trading them right now. -- Every American child born since January 2025 gets $1,000 from the Treasury, invested automatically. 7 million accounts opened. -- Figure 3 walked into 30 strangers' homes it had never seen, made their beds, and folded their laundry. -- Treasury Secretary Bessent told the labs this week: "The one thing we should not do is give them a blank check on liability. They will be held responsible." -- Vlad also founded Harmonic, building a mathematical superintelligence to formally verify AI code.

Here's some unsolicited advice for my Democratic friends - in office and running. Think twice before hiring consultants who are cozying up to private equity, signing up to defend prediction markets, or telling candidates to not say what they actually feel about the big AI companies. A public backlash is growing against the predatory companies that try to erase our jobs and monetize everything not nailed down. They want leaders who are going to unapologetically fight back. Democrats should seize that humanist mantle. And it matters who we work with.

🚨Revenge spend: Following the demise of the Clarity Act, Fairshake is gearing up to make its biggest spend of the year: $30 million against Sherrod Brown as he takes another shot at returning to the Senate, where, if successful, he could reclaim his seniority and return as chair or ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee. First reported by the NYT and confirmed to me by a Fairshake spokesperson.

With 29 Yes votes Permission Delegation is now also in 2-Week activation on the XRP Ledger! ✅ Big enabler for institutions, get ready to see them come on chain on the XRP Ledger! What is this feature again? Permission Delegation is compliance & operations building block 🧵: - Asset issuers for stablecoins and RWAs need the ability to split roles (delegate) on the issuer account. E.g Compliance Team gets funds freezing role and the operations team can mint assets for customers, and ONLY that. They can't do anything else (!) while using their own XRP accounts instead of all of them sharing the keys to the main issuer. Large institutions need this ability. @rootveg444 explained very well how this looks like for the RLUSD team at Ripple. - We have also seen @HugoPhilion explain how Wormhole needs this feature so they can get a permission delegation for the RLUSD account to bridge back from ETH to the XRP Ledger, which in turn enables Flare to offer borrowing against your funds on the XRPL. - Other token issuers might also find it useful, you can delegate certain abilities to a new account and blackhole it after like @msvadari explained to cap asset supply without bricking the account. Very exciting feature!
