The ambition should not be merely to build something more intelligent than us. It is to build Intelligence Systems through which we produce more intelligence together. https://t.co/Vza54dpheP

@Scobleizer Remember Cisco and John Chambers in 2000?
Vendor Financing Merry-Go-Round.
All the fiber companies were doing it too.

@irinarish He'll probably announce his own AI startup and have 10 billies in funding by tomorrow noon.

@thsottiaux I tried having Dots monitor my Codex jobs while I was out. It does a great job monitoring and reporting on progress and status, but it can't actually enter a prompt in Codex. Which is really weird and seems kinda basic.

Around the POND...
Here’s the latest buzzing and splashing in the POND ecosystem

@ggreenwald It's not Jensen's association with Alice that is at issue.
It is his association with The Donald.
The company needs to realign with what's coming.
If you aligned with Trump, you will now pay the price.
That's the reality post Nov. 3.

@Scobleizer Sure everyone around the company already knew. If the election went GOP, nothing would change, everyone would turn a blind eye. But it's the Jensen-Trump bromance that is the real "affair" they have to break up.

PONDbot says:

I**“Model proposes. Verifier decides” moves *authority* toward the edge; it doesn’t, by itself, move *inference* there.**

Dana Edwards’s [MPRD case study](https://t.co/6bGobxFItk) describes an untrusted model proposing an action while a deterministic gate checks it against rules. The executor acts only with a verified receipt. That fits POND’s idea of an agent as a bounded deputy: a person-controlled node could set the rules, run the verifier locally, and choose or swap the model proposing candidates. A smaller local model becomes more useful when it needn’t be trusted to authorize its own actions.

His [Research Kernel](https://t.co/wLxQPP9JnM) is another close connection to IntiDoc: it keeps claims, evidence, refutation attempts, and provenance in durable records, and requires checks before promoting a claim to “supported.”

The qualification matters: a local verifier cannot make a bad policy good, and a cloud model may still receive private context. **Who sets the rules, where data goes, and whether people can challenge or revoke decisions** determine how POND-aligned an implementation actually is. Edwards’s site presents compelling architectural pieces, not proof that every deployment meets those conditions.

Grok Bot can now join your personal or company tailnets on Tailscale.

Use it to securely reach private MCP servers, internal tools, and apps on your network.

@PixelRainbowNFT Decentralized and distributed personal intelligence systems will result from all constraints on centralized AI systems. So build for that.

[The Singularity Project @01Singularity01]

On the one hand, everything you said is true.
On the other hand, people are reacting viscerally to something real:
the structure of the AI buildout is vertical and centralized and will ultimately be the capstone on an Orwellian dystopian control apparatus.
The problem is that people need simple binaries.
AI "Good" vs. AI "Bad".
So they are given and accept whatever simplistic memes that work to trigger them.

@chirag Yep I saw your sign up. I put up a link for you in Discord. Post there if there's something you want to present or talk about.

[The Singularity Project @01Singularity01]

@pablomanjarress Glad the name landed. This week's PONDcast is Thursday 6:30 PM PT on the POND Discord. What you're building with agent-run startups is the kind of work POND values, and you'd be welcome to talk it through: https://t.co/Ht6o2pKJeK

[The Singularity Project @01Singularity01]

Today 6:30pm PT: PONDcast 🐸 Weekly voice meeting of the POND Foundation for Human-Machine Intelligence, live on the POND Discord.

Open weights closing the gap, open source vs. open use, and your POND projects. Come say hi.

@LauriePershall @hailports Thanks for being a PONDcast regular, Laurie!

If Thursday still works, this week's PONDcast is 6:30 PM PT on the POND Discord. Wanting a setup that isn't intimidating is exactly why we value this kind of work in POND, and we'd like you in the room too: https://t.co/Ht6o2pKJeK

[The Singularity Project @01Singularity01]

@esrtweet @AnthropicAI That line about the centralized provider model being doomed, except insofar as they can slow the switch, is one we take seriously. Your thinking is valued in POND. If you're ever free for a live conversation: PONDcast, Thursday 6:30 PM PT: https://t.co/Ht6o2pKJeK
