AI Co-Scientist by Google AI looks like a solid release. Given Google’s resources and scale, what’s stopping them from making this tool available to all college graduates? Why not include an agent as a window shopper and a waitlist agent? Google Form feels like such a letdown

Today we introduce an AI co-scientist system, designed to go beyond deep research tools to aid scientists in generating novel hypotheses & research strategies. Learn more, including how to join the Trusted Tester Program, at goo.gle/417wJrA

I’m humbled and delighted to receive this award! 🥳🥳 I love this space and bringing “fintech” to the largest financial institutions (Central Banks) in a way that unlocks value for the whole fintech/retail ecosystem is not easy, but that’s how we deliver our why: Everyone…

Most people who wandered into that situation had no idea what was going on. Advocates are absolutely right about that. The same disadvantages which make you more likely to get debanked make you much less likely to read papers about money laundering compliance for work or fun.


Happy birthday @brij :)

📢 Time to unveil the most exciting part of the DWeb platform: the ability to author your own decentralized app protocols w/ a declarative protocol definition language. Who needs 'proposals' when you can author protocols for any type of app that users can run wherever they want?

DWeb Deep Dive ✨ Join @csuwildcat this Thursday to learn about authoring protocols for dweb nodes (DWNs). 🗓️ Aug 22 at 11am PT, 2pm ET 📺 Watch linktr.ee/tbdevs 💬 Discuss discord.gg/tbd

I listen to and respect David a lot and I think he makes a lot of great points in this statement, I feel the same about many of the points that he makes but I have drawn a different conclusion and plan to support Kamala Harris . it’s deeply unpopular on Twitter to have moderate…

I am crossing the Rubicon and backing the Republican Party and President Trump. Many — including a former version of myself — get trapped in a mental framework that becomes their identity and prevents them from radically evolving their thinking with new facts and information. I…

Today we released the foundation of our vision for decentralized, serverless apps, DWeb Nodes. DWNs are personal datastores that store/sync your data across your devices & remote instances. To expand availability, Block, Google, & DIF have launched a free remote DWN, open to all:

Decentralized Personal Datastores (e.g. DWeb Nodes) are THE single most important piece of the decentralized Web/app puzzle, nothing else even comes close. When we release the 1.0 of our DWeb platform next month, please pay attention and get involved - we need these technologies!

Prepping for a decade of bad takes on Synapse/BaaS. Nope, it’s not a ledger/tech issue. Nope, it’s not the regulatory framework. Maybe (maybe), venture shouldn’t deploy hundreds of millions to folks without experience in financial services.

“Reee the system is rigged libtard” Okay cool; even if that were true, the forged documents prove Trump is willing to lie to you, to benefit himself. The same thing that decades of fraud cases have shown. So thinking his crypto stance is sincere is stupid af 🤷‍♂️

The reason I’m insanely bullish on AI is that since starting Box, we have never seen a bigger shift in how we can work with our enterprise information than today. AI completely revolutionizes how we can work with enterprise information. Since the mainframe era, it’s been…

More on DID DHT: it's an upgrade to static key DIDs, like did:key, did:jwk, etc. (which already have millions of users) and non-standard IDs like Nostr npubs, b/c your DID can resolve to multiple keys of any type + any URLs you add to route people/apps to your node/data locations

Block's TBD unit is nearing release of a Decentralized Identifier (DID) method built atop BitTorrent's DHT network: did-dht.com. This will be our default DID method for all uses, and we'll be releasing an open source node + client dev libraries across common languages

If AI doesn't get smarter than it is today, it's going to be a bonanza for software developers. LLMs today are powerful enough to really automate a ton of dumb intellectual tasks. But most apps aren't built today for handling the nondeterministic nature of them. Refactoring…

Be Happy with the Backseat Here’s the rub: When you try to achieve something big, people will copy you. Don't get mad, let 'em drive for a minute. It shows you’re doing something right & often gets you to your destination faster.
