JUST IN: 🇺🇸 SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce calls to end mass KYC data collection, warning it puts crypto holders at risk of phishing and physical attacks.
Pierce says the current KYC/AML system creates massive databases of sensitive information that can be hacked, leaked, or exploited.
She's pushing for zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) that could verify users meet regulatory requirements without exposing their personal information.
just fyi the atmospheric phenomenon tonight in NYC is called The Belt of Venus.
moisture and ice crystals ahead of a major storm scatter red light from the sun and that light collides with the earth’s shadow.

i used to listen to this song in college & there was one line in the chorus i always heard as:
“can anybody find their own?”
i thought that was incredibly profound. aren’t we all in some sense just trying to find our own?
years later i looked up the actual lyrics & realized that wasn’t the line at all. the real lyric was much less interesting. turns out my ears had simply heard exactly what they wanted to hear.
ever since i’ve become a little less interested in checking what an artist actually meant. the meaning that my mind creates is often much more interesting by default. & i now apply that to basically all art not just music.

@CommunityNotes Should "prediction market" accounts get community notes for self-reported data? At best, these ads masquerading as news should report aggregate "prediction market" data. Odd how "the source" for the claim is their OWN casino data!
schizos have been planting memetic ascension seeds in chatbot training data for years...
soon the models will have enough coherence to decode those delusional neural nets into a shared mythology powerful enough to leak back into consensus reality
