Energy abundance is the root of the policy tree, the big unlocker. With energy abundance, you have factories, jobs, national security, energy security, food security, water security (desalination), GDP and so much more. With energy scarcity, you have foreign wars over scarce resources, famine, poverty, all the ghost factories never built and the ghost jobs never generated.

Fixed-rate vaults don't have a shared standard yet, so Odyssey devs have proposed one. ERC-8416 extends ERC-4626 with fixed-rate epochs, each with an advertised rate and set exit window, while also supporting async vaults through ERC-7540.

We need a right to bear open source AI models.

I’ve seen a couple of posts about this so wanted to demystify. Today, every Muse user gets a free computer in the cloud. It's a real computer, and we’ve designed the security architecture of the Muse Secure VM carefully so you and your Muse can do almost anything you could with a computer sitting under your desk while keeping you and the system safe from threats like prompt injection. We wrote about this at length in our security blog post – security.muse.ai. Activity in the “runtime cell”, which you share with your Muse is unfettered, but sensitive actions are all overseen by the Sentinel, which runs outside of that cell. Similarly, all sensitive secrets - like the passwords you enter into Muse’s secure credential storage - are also stored outside the runtime cell. The runtime cell gets its own root filesystem (including a full Ubuntu linux image) separate from the host filesystem where your other more sensitive data lives. Because it is isolated from the sensitive stuff that runs on the same box, this means that we can, and do, offer users full visibility and control over the files in the runtime cell. Just as you can when you install Linux on your home computer, you can poke around and see all the files that make the system work - both debian system files and the binaries and data files that implement the parts of Muse which run in the runtime cell. This was a very deliberate choice - your Muse Secure VM truly is your own computer in the cloud. You can install software in it, write and compile code, use the browser to surf the web: it is your own Linux box that you can operate as you choose with your Muse. Poking around in this computer doesn't give you any privileged access to Meta infrastructure, or to other people's data If I may geek out a little here for a second… As a kid I loved to take things apart to see how they worked. As a teenager I got into computers and soon found myself drawn to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM and the system registry, later Slackware’s /dev/, /proc/ etc – I could see how the system was laid out and as I explored what DLL files and .so files actually did, I gradually became able to meld the computer to my own will. We’re really proud to be able to put a real computer in millions of people’s hands with a similar level of transparency. We built a file explorer right into the Library tab of the UI. We want you to be able to see the markdown files Muse writes while it thinks about how to serve you better, and explore the internals of the system if you’d like to. So, when you ask your Muse to show you its entire filesystem, and receive gigabytes of files you’re seeing the full contents of the runtime cell. It’s yours to explore and enjoy! If you’re not a geek like me, or simply want to download the data that you personally have created directly with your Muse, we added a feature for that too in Settings > Data controls > Download your agent data.

Been thinking about this a lot. So much efforts has been put into keeping the petrodollar safe, makes one wonder if we’re not on the early innings of an AI Dollar & how that would impact markets.

Listened to an EA-adjacent AI safety expert from Redwood Research on podcast, and you come away with 2 obvious realizations. 1. The current working theories for how AI takes control of civilization are...for lack of a better word...ridiculous. The arguments consist of dozens of contingent assumptions held together by made up probabilities assigned to future states nobody can possibly know. Change just one variable and the whole web of doom unravels. That's not to say AI is harmless. Obviously a technology this powerful carries real risks. But if we’re going to accept extraordinary claims about human extinction (and then make major policy decisions around them) we should demand extraordinary rigor. 2. It’s a great reminder that the genius is no less prone to delusion than the midwit. If anything, they may be more prone because of their gift for rationalizing to their own conclusions. And that’s what’s so bizarre about this whole debate. You have outlandish, quasi-religious claims delivered with an air of inevitability, and somehow the perceived intelligence of the messenger gets mistaken for evidence that the arguments themselves are sound. At a certain point, it’s really no different from Tom Cruise talking your ear off about thetans...

Every functioning institution is merit-based, not participation-based.

One way to market to agents might be to make forms agent-first.

In-N-Out is a family business that has never taken outside capital. A wealth tax like California Proposition 40 would not only take 5% of the company; it would change the fundamental kind of business In-N-Out is allowed to be. Read the full article here: palladiummag.com/2026/09/22/…

"Boomers grew up in a high-trust, religious and family-centric culture . . . They benefited from the old culture and from its destruction. This is a trick that can only be pulled once." "A concentration effect is under way. Religious belief is no longer the default. The secularization process has boiled off the most progressive Christians--and particularly the most progressive young women--leaving hte church smaller, more devout and more conservative."

Every personal AI assistant I see today is optimised for the pro user. A normal person does not want to set up 100 connectors before the AI becomes useful. They do not care that your computer use model scores 70% on some benchmark. All they see is their task failing 3 times out of 10. They want a personal assistant that works like an actual personal assistant. Book the electrician, chase the plumber, tell the new cleaner how you like things done because it remembers, even when the cleaner changes. Nobody is building for that person. I think the way to do it is: 1. Hybrid: computer use model + humans in the loop for the 3 in 10 it gets wrong, with a self improvement loop so that number keeps falling. 2. Offer home services as part of the assistant, not just the booking via a connector of a third party marketplace.

A useful piece on how drones extend and drive the evolution of older weapons and capabilities rather than replace them. This has been the case too for tanks, reconnaissance units, infantry, strike, medical and logistic support.

Energy abundance. Great news. "40 years after Chernobyl, Italy greenlights a return to nuclear energy" apnews.com/article/italy-nuc…

i was having dinner with someone recently who asked why i spend so much time reading & posting on x. she had a pretty negative perception of the platform mostly shaped by the mainstream narrative around it. my answer was simple. x is where the future gets beta tested. you basically get to watch ppl build things, talk through ideas, show off stuff, & argue about where everything is going, way way before it reaches anyone else. there really isn’t another surface on the internet quite like it.

What happens when agents like Muse meet agents like Flo? Our customer service future is lit!

"The system that Claude found is based on a reverse transcriptase (RT), enzymes that copy RNA into DNA. While this underlying RT, found in a jumbo phage, had been identified in previous studies, Claude appears to be the first to notice the system’s defining features—an associated array of non-coding DNA sequences and an additional accessory protein of unknown function." #bio #biology #DNA #CRISPR anthropic.com/news/claude-di…

Where are the AI privacy advocates? Do they even exist, beyond @ErikVoorhees ? Open, private AI is needed when handling sensitive health records, confidential corporate records, patents and trade secrets, and a host of other things we don't want to leak to big hyperscaler clouds.
