Hacker and hopeless optimist I built divine.video as a way of reclaiming social media by and for humans, social media for people not AI or corporations

This is is surreal. And also very queer.
The claude folks should just own this 🤣

This isn't actually a terrible idea... If you look, it's being done by a known Uruguayan property development company, the plans seem to fit what does work in Uruguay already. I have lived and worked for years in Uruguay and while there are some weird bureaucratic rules, it's mostly a corruption free place that's very digital forward. This is in stark contrast to Argentina across the river which is a mess. Colonia is an easy ferry ride to Buenos Aires and relatively easy to get to and also get to big city fun. Uruguay's a transparent, and low tax place if you're doing tech work with an international focus. I don't know where they're getting all the artists and non-tech creatives that Praxis talks about, but that's another issue. The development extends the city of Colonia to the west in a way which connects it to a lot of services both for the workers who are needed to keep a new neighbourhood like this running, but also make it more liveable. gomezplatero.com/en/project/…
Praxis is building a new city in Uruguay. Construction has begun. Residents move in 2027. Thank you for joining us for the beginning of our long journey. More in @NYTimes.

I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

I'm guessing these two things are related.

Karen Attiah just won her case against @washingtonpost.  Fired for posts following Charlie Kirk’s death, an arbitrator ruled the Post violated her union-protected rights & ordered her reinstated. Before the ruling, @KarenAttiah sat down with @rabble to tell her story.

Sometimes the best way to get a community to adopt a technology like cashu and lightning is to never mention the technology or ideology of bitcoin at all. This is what Blacksky.cash is doing. njump.me/nevent1qqsrrsrzu5t8…

red teaming bitcoin: - we’ve written multiple harnesses and we’re launching a huge wave of reviews against many core bitcoin projects: crypto libs, wallets, infra, … - situation is extremely bad. - we’re averaging on the order of 1 critical exploit per hour per person. - we’ve reported critical vulnerabilities to several projects in the last 12 hrs. - thankfully this is a very expensive exercise, we’re burning through 10k per day. - you can donate tokens or accounts. send me a dm. - thank you to @OpenSats for covering the bill. - thank you to @Kimi_Moonshot and Kimi K3 for providing us with accounts and uncensored intelligence
Bitcoin Red Team Update: We have been working around the clock, with ~$20,000 of spend up to this point across different services. Funding is secured, I appreciate all the gestures for donations but it is not necessary. The bill is taken care of. We have done over a dozen disclosures up to this point, with 150 repos scanned. The hardest part is coordinating to get things to the right people (thank you @danielabrozzoni for the help) I have a first pass on a bitcoin red team agent harness which only requires an @opencode zen api key, makes it easy for us to use K3 for the actual heavy lifting and then GPT Sol + Fable/Opus + GLM5.2 for supporting documentation. While it is powerful, having found critical issues, I would view this as only version one. There is a lot of iteration I'm looking forward to improving on. Our goal is to open source the harness so it can be pointed at internal repositories for insights so the hardening of defenses can go deeper than the code which is made public. We also have been connected with OpenAi for some help so I could manage getting the @OpenAI Cyber Harness running as well (thank you @lylepratt ). Its a much more expensive scan, but well worth it for load bearing portions of the bitcoin ecosystem and has already yielded good results. Goals for tomorrow are scale in processes and systems so we can do a better job and automating full end to end functionality to get humans out of the loop for the heavy lifting. The first mile (requests/staging) and last mile (handoff of reports) are the choke points right now. Thank you @stutxo @callebtc @benthecarman @thesimplekid and so may more.

What a jolly jape this transparency and democracy thing is, says Erica. The Bill is obviously so foamingly draconian after ACT's far right fascist involvement that it can't even see the light of day. And Labour then need to follow their census example and say - NO. #nzpol

Chris Luxon wants to do this 😅 And how exactly do you plan to take the (expensive) mobile phones off thousands of kids under 16, David Seymour? That parents (unlike YOU) need to keep in touch with their kids? Delusional right wing morons with zero grasp of reality #nzpol
