Trying to unlock Pharma curator contributions, the need for local query, dedupe, and export using CSVs kept coming up. I built a read-only tool this weekend to help bridge the gap:

• Query a @geoprotocol space for Types, Relations, Properties, broken out by category for user clarity
• Export what's already there or map your CSV to remove duplicates
• No private keys, all local for work shopping, creates deduped csvs for import using Geos native CSV import tool

Meta built an AI that types what you're thinking without implants or surgery.

Word accuracy just jumped from 8% to 61%. The biggest leap non-invasive brain-to-text has ever seen.

I understand why people gave up on web3.

It had billions in funding, tons of attention, and we have little to show for it. But the problems haven’t gone away.

I’m not giving up. The internet still needs what web3 was supposed to become.

[Geo @geoprotocol]

Control over your data. Control over your identity. Control over how you organize with others.

Self-sovereignty is the core idea that Web3 has always been chasing, and it's exactly what AI needs now.

Knowledge graphs are about to become a lot more important.

The AI revolution needs them. And there's a simple reason why.

Who do you actually trust for information right now?

Any time you read something online, you have to ask yourself: Where's this from? Is it accurate? Does the source have any track record?

Knowledge needs a permanent home where it can be inspected, verified, and challenged.

Today is a dark day for freedom and democracy in Europe. General chat surveillance has been implemented in Brussels. A disgrace.

The so-called Chat Control 1.0 cleared a crucial hurdle in the European Parliament today. This means platforms may once again be allowed to scan private messages, officially on a “voluntary” basis, but in practice this marks the return of indiscriminate monitoring of private communication.

What makes this especially bitter is that a majority of the MEPs who voted were reportedly against it. According to Patrick Breyer, 314 MEPs voted against the regulation, 276 voted in favor and 17 abstained. And yet the rejection failed because it was not enough to have a simple majority of those voting. An absolute majority of all MEPs would have been required.

That is the democratic scandal.

When a majority of those present votes against a proposal and it still passes because a formal threshold is not reached, it does not feel like democratic decision-making to many citizens. It feels like a procedural trick.

And it becomes even more problematic when you look at the context: Chat Control had already been rejected before. Yet the issue was put back on the agenda shortly before the summer break, through an urgent procedure, at a time when absences could become decisive.

This is not just some technical regulation. It goes to the very core of private communication. It is about whether digital messages remain fundamentally private or whether platforms may systematically scan content again, without concrete suspicion, without a court order and without any individual cause.

A free society must not turn private communication into a potential surveillance zone. Anyone who takes digital fundamental rights seriously cannot accept millions of innocent people being placed under general suspicion.

Today, a dangerous signal was sent: fundamental rights can be hollowed out through procedural logic, timing and political tricks. Not through an open, clear and honest majority, but through a system in which absence effectively helps the supporters.

This is a dark day for Europe.

Not because the fight is over, but because today showed how easily digital fundamental rights come under pressure when surveillance logic, symbolic politics and institutional tricks come together.

Anyone who wants a free internet, anyone who wants to protect private communication and anyone who takes democracy seriously should talk about this.

Share this issue. Inform yourself. Look at who voted how. And never forget: freedom rarely disappears all at once. It disappears step by step, often in technical details, often in complicated procedures and often exactly when too few people are watching.

While the whole world is fully focused on artificial intelligence and expanding technological infrastructure, an unbelievable act of surveillance is currently being pushed through the European Parliament, even though it has already been rejected twice.

What chat control is about:

The EU wants to allow platforms once again to scan private messages. Officially, this is “voluntary”, but in practice it is another step toward indiscriminate surveillance of private communication.

What makes this especially questionable:

Chat control has already been rejected twice in the European Parliament. Yet now it is supposed to come back, through an urgent procedure.

But there is no real urgency. The transitional regulation has already expired, and Parliament would have time for proper deliberation. Instead, the issue is supposed to be rushed through the plenary shortly before the summer break.

And the trick is obvious:

To stop chat control, a simple majority of the MEPs present is not enough. It requires an absolute majority of all MEPs. Anyone who is absent effectively helps the supporters.

In other words: a massive infringement on digital fundamental rights is supposed to be pushed through after all, by exploiting timing, procedural logic and parliamentary absence, even though Parliament has already rejected it.

This is not a clean democratic process. This is the erosion of fundamental rights through a procedural trick.

So instead of discussing the truly important issues, such as how to bring frontier intelligence to Europe, whether through excellent open-source models or deals with US frontier labs; instead of discussing how to build our own compute capacity through data centers; instead of solving the energy problem, probably the biggest bottleneck, they are acting against the interests of EU citizens, expanding surveillance, expanding regulation and doing all of this against the will of the people.

A dark day for Europe. I would appreciate it if you shared this issue. The video by Martin Sonneborn that I am sharing is worth watching. The whole world should know about this. (The speech he gave is in german, hopefully there is a translation somewhere)

Thank you for your attention.

Aggregating reliable, refreshable pharma data is only half the battle. If it's not approachable, no one uses it. And it's harder to read when the formatting is inconsistent across thousands of drug inserts.

Hermes Agents refactored my formatting pipeline so bulk drug info renders cleanly and future runs reproduce this HTML automatically.

Why do smart models still give mediocre answers?

Because intelligence isn’t the only constraint, it’s context too.

Knowledge graphs help solve this, and we built Geo around that exact problem.
