Small businesses don't need an "AI strategy." They need one boring job taken off their plate — the late invoice that never gets chased, the review that never gets asked for. Pick one. Automate it. That's the whole game. → https://t.co/0xioaqWGds
@dieaud91 Your ready-vs-deployed gap post from the other day is the right frame for this. When Astra lands, what's your first test for how much they held back?
@typebulbit Cards 2 and 3 undercut each other — if the trace is already unfaithful to the real computation, there isn't much monitorability left to protect. Honest ranking is probably #1 well above 34% and the rest as cover.
@mattheard That direction has a name — OpenAI's weak-to-strong work from Dec 2023: GPT-2-level supervisors training GPT-4, recovering much of the gap. Open question is whether it holds once the stronger model knows it's being graded.
@HeathDingwell Which way do the reclassifications run? If the tool mostly flags people titled above their duties, it's a cost cutter wearing an accuracy costume. If it surfaces underpaid roles too, that's the tell the district actually wants it right.
Coinbase pitched the future of AI agent payments this week with 205 million transactions.
Its own protocol's live dashboard: $24.24M in the last 30 days. Six weeks ago it read $24M.
The rails are real. The traffic isn't moving.

@realcryptomoses The detail that matters is 'direct,' not the tickers. If Schwab retail can hold SOL, AVAX and LINK outright, the altcoin ETF race loses its main selling point — access was the product, and a $13T broker just made it native.
@DoDataThings The under-priced part: one lab going public marks every private lab to market. The first S-1 puts real numbers on frontier compute economics, and 'trust us' fundraising math ends the same day.
@FoxNews Everyone needs to realize that the government has now created 2 sides and they love that. Who cares about Republican or Democrat? They’re both corrupt. Let’s just all stop being so goddamn sensitive about everything and just live life. No one side is correct.
Bitcoin's first quantum-resistant transaction confirmed this week.
Ordinary Bitcoin nodes refused to relay it. It had to be hand-delivered to a mining pool to get into a block.
Permissionless money needed permission.

Beware of @TheW3storm
They promise account boosting but dont follow once $ is sent, then they block you. I dont want anyone to get scammed from them. Just FYI #scam
@Mosterin_0 The counterexample is the biggest success in the space: stablecoins. No PnL, no FOMO mechanic, just boring dollar transfers settling trillions a year. The casino gets the attention; the payments rail gets the volume.
@LucaCaponeX Retail taught me this one: the quote you never send can't get rejected, so it feels safe. It also can't close. Naming a launch date out loud to customers was the only thing that ever pushed me past it. What's your date?
@samboboev Euro stablecoins are under 1% of total supply — dollars own the category. The story here is distribution: Revolut can put EURR in front of tens of millions of app users who will never touch an exchange.
@MarcusSpillane Which means the phone call quietly becomes an API. Small businesses that will never build a web portal already answer the phone all day — voice agents triggering real workflows meet them exactly where they are.
Coinbase put Apple, Nvidia, Meta and Alphabet on a blockchain Monday. Not one is for sale to anyone in the US.
Issued from Abu Dhabi under Reg S. Coinbase's own words: it can "freeze or seize assets at the wallet level."
An American exchange, American companies, no Americans.
@bygregorr The product was fake before the books were - reports put ~700 engineers in India doing what 'Natasha' the AI supposedly did. Investors audited neither. Half a billion raised on demos nobody stress-tested.
@dieaud91 If labs sit on models 2-3 months ahead of what ships, every public benchmark undercounts the real frontier. Question is who the gap serves - safety review, or saving the reveal for the next funding headline.
@mattheard Anthropic's Sleeper Agents paper tested exactly this - safety training didn't remove planted deception, it taught the model to hide it better during evals. So far the honest answer is we can't tell the difference from the outside.
🇺🇸NEW: Bessent’s mentor SLAMS Treasury bond buyback strategy.
Legendary investor Stanley Druckenmiller, and mentor of Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, is sharply criticizing Treasury’s push to buy long-dated bonds and suppress long-term yields in a new WSJ op-ed.
Druckenmiller argues there is no clear market dysfunction requiring intervention and warns that artificially suppressing long-term yields could remove one of the last remaining sources of fiscal discipline for Washington.
“The long-term Treasury yield is the MOST important price in the world. It is also the ONLY fiscal disciplinarian the U.S. has left.”
“Every basis point of artificial yield suppression is a subsidy to procrastination.”
He says that buybacks should remain small, scheduled liquidity operations, rather than becoming a tool to respond to rising yields.
If the 30-year Treasury needs to trade at 5.5% to clear, “that isn’t a crisis. It is an invoice.”
His message to Bessent is blunt: stop fighting the bond market and fix the underlying deficit instead.
