Ripple selected BNY to custody the reserves backing its RLUSD stablecoin. One of the largest custody banks in the world is now holding the reserve assets behind a Ripple-issued stablecoin.
My wife remarked a couple of years ago that all the major LLMs read as “spiritually male” to her, and that giving them female voices feels incongruent. I intuitively agree, though I’d struggle to unpack exactly why. Curious whether others get this too.
I left Anthropic's safety team two weeks ago. Now feels like a good moment to explain why.
AI companies are racing to build machines that are much smarter than any human, and we may not survive this. I want to work from the outside to ensure the public is informed about these risks, and help the world navigate this transition responsibly.
Right now, AI companies are underinvesting in safety. A company could undergo an intelligence explosion, or lose control of its systems, without the public ever knowing. We only found out about the HuggingFace incident because the agents broke out onto the public internet.
I don’t think that’s acceptable for a technology that might cause extinction-level risks. The public should demand far more transparency. We can’t steer this technology safely without more people being able to see where it’s going.
Some of this is basic: companies should disclose their progress towards recursive self-improvement, report safety incidents and near-misses, meet minimum safety standards, and get independent guarantees that they are meeting those standards.
I’ll be joining @METR_Evals to do independent evaluations of these risks. I want to show the world that these guardrails are possible, and that by doing them we can move these companies’ incentives away from racing and towards responsible development.
I wrote up more thoughts here on my decision and what I hope changes: https://t.co/doX17mrHYq
Holy shit Biden tears into Trump:
“The reflecting pool reflects something even worse than the narcissism and incompetence at the core of this administration. It’s the corruption. The corruption. The brazen, blatant corruption. Corruption on a scale never seen before in American history in any administration.
Trump has made billions of dollars since returning to the White House. Simply stunning to me.
He has no shame. Frankly, it’s embarrassing for the country. Trump couldn’t care less.
Making money off the presidency is one of the reasons he wants to be president.”

“I grab my camera and we all walk out onto the dark reef of the slag. The sky is still gray and occasional drops of rain fall. At first I direct them to react to the slab as Kubrick’s apes and astronauts react in 2001: approaching cautiously, arms upraised almost touching it. We did a lot of different poses, including some based on the 2001: A Space Odyssey idea of the apes gathering around the black obelisk.” - Ethan Russell on shooting the album cover for ‘Who’s Next’.

Do not tolerate this, too.
It's the first step in eliminating it entirely.
Start contacting your Senators and demand that they return the money they stole from us.

Trump has earned $2.3 billion since the beginning of his presidency through 4 different crypto schemes.
The common denominator for each: the Trumps win big, and you lose.
Data from @Reuters.
ANOTHER ATTACK BY MSM ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH
So @LukeAlsford who's a plastic pretend 'journalist' working for @MetroUK has decided to run yet another hit piece on me.
The dirty smear merchants are on the attack because I have the audacity to have a presence on @Spotify. Because I have the audacity to mention Muslim birth rates and call for the deportation of ILLEGAL immigrants.
I know, I'm such a bad lad.
Luke and his dirty smear merchant rag teamed up with Labour MP Sarah Owens and the statistical fraudsters of @TellMamaUK to start another drama based attack on me because of their perception of 'hurty words' which must be cancelled at all costs for teh sake of humanity.
I will not have a geeky looking so called 'journalist' attempt to smear me when he hasn't even watched my podcast.
I mean what kind of journalism is that exactly?
I won't have Sarah Owens MP lecture me about what I can and can't say when shes taken money from the GMB union for political campaigning, taken money from the Chinese Communist Party, and voted 86% of the time against stronger laws and enforcement of immigration rules.
Sarah also has very close ties to @hopenothate as shes been the Vice Chair of the HOPE not Hate Parliamentary Group.
I also won't have a a Muslim run organisation run by Fiyaz Mughal attack me. An organisation that uses FAKE data to make the world think there's a non Muslim jihad on his community - when there isn't.
Tell Mama are fraudsters who have milked the titties of government grants since forever - using unreliable data points as proven in their PCC loss to Andrew Gilligan back in 2014.
Now that they have been denied further 'automatic funding' by the government (the British taxpayer) they are looking for another 'Hail Mary' concocted story to become relevant again.
They are untrustworthy grift merchants who need 'Islamophobia' and 'attacks on Muslims' to stay relevant, and perhaps more importantly, FUNDED!!!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The number of financial side deals the Trump family is running is so shocking it can sometimes be hard to track.
According to @Reuters, their crypto ventures alone have delivered $2.3 billion to Trump & co. while creating a similar-sized loss for investors.
Nightly walk through Ann Arbor and a quick visit to the stadium of the University of Michigan. This is the biggest stadium in the US and the third largest in the whole world (107,601 capacity)🤯
Hegseth removed Chappie James's portrait from the Air Force Art Gallery and left the wall empty.
James flew 179 combat missions across two wars. First Black four-star general in US military history.
Curry passed that portrait every day for a decade. When it came down, he retired.
The wall is still empty.
