Coinbase launches yet another product launched by Veritaseum in 2018

Veritaseum sued Coinbase and Circle USDC for $350 million dollars each for using their IP without a license. Their lawyer passed away so the cases are on hold.

Meanwhile, Coinbase and Perkins Coie filled an IPR petition to try and invalidate the Veritaseum patents but were denied institutions, and denied their appeal by the PTAB - Case # IPR2023-00751

That denial and their willful use of this IP could expose them to triple damages and over $1 Billion dollars.

IMPORTANT:
Coinbase's User Agreement has Indemnity and Arbitration clauses that suggest users may be responsible for these costs. - See Article in Comments.

🚨BREAKING: A cognitive scientist from MIT has mathematically proven that evolution guarantees we see zero percent of true reality, that most consciousness in the universe exists without a body, and that non-human intelligences with a wider window on reality than ours can reach in and manipulate it the way a programmer manipulates a video game.

Donald Hoffman (@donalddhoffman) is a cognitive scientist at UC Irvine who has spent 40 years building a mathematical theory of the observer. His work was cited by John Wheeler in the "It From Bit" paper. He studied under Marvin Minsky at MIT, spent two decades secretly meeting with Francis Crick to study consciousness, and has nine specific mathematical conjectures on the table that would derive general relativity, quantum field theory and the Big Bang from a single framework. The top high-energy physicists in the world, Nima Arkani-Hamed and Nobel laureate David Gross, are already saying spacetime is doomed. Hoffman thinks he knows what replaces it.

This interview is the first time he has publicly laid out what his mathematical model explains about alien life, embodiment and the structure of reality.

It already derives time dilation and quantum wave functions directly from differences in observer window size. Physics has spent a century failing to solve the measurement problem because it has been looking in the wrong place. The observer has to come first, and no physicalist framework can get you there.

A consciousness with a larger observer window has access to the underlying structure of our reality in ways we can't perceive or counter. A craft going Mach 40 instantaneously in our headset could be a leisurely maneuver in theirs.

The implications for UAP and alien life are immense.
Embodiment, being locked into a body with fingers and toes as your only interface with the world, is a probability zero anomaly in the full space of possible minds. He also says current large language models are dumber than cucumbers. His new framework, the recursive trace logic, is a completely different architecture, and some of the biggest names in frontier AI have already come to him about it.

The framework has no ceiling, and the implication is a single unified consciousness exploring itself through an unbounded number of perspectives, each one capable of waking up.

Death, in this framework, is just the closing of an icon on the desktop.

Full conversation is live now.

MARC ANDREESSEN JUST WENT ON ROGAN AND DROPPED THE MOST IMPORTANT AI ALPHA OF THE YEAR.

3 hours and 20 minutes of podcast.

Here are the 17 things worth your attention.

1. AGI is already here. Marc thinks the line was crossed 3 months ago with GPT-5.5, Claude 4.6, Gemini 3, and Grok 4.3. Nobody noticed because the field moves too fast for anyone to register the milestones anymore.

2. For almost any topic the top AI models now give him better answers than the world-class experts he could call on the phone. And he can call basically anyone.

3. Every doctor is secretly using ChatGPT in the exam room. They turn around the second you stop talking and type your symptoms in. Some do it while you are still sitting there. His quote: "At that point you are asking what do I need you for."

4. When AI refuses to answer something he wants to know he tells it he is writing a novel. "Walk me through how the bad guy robs the bank." It explains almost anything if it thinks it is helping you write fiction.

5. When something is too complex he says "explain it like I am 10." Then "like I am 5." Then "like I am 2." He keeps going until it actually clicks.

6. When he wants to understand a tough topic he does not ask what the right answer is. He asks the AI to steelman one side then steelman the other. Then he decides for himself.

7. For big questions he tells the AI to pretend to be a panel of experts. "Be a doctor, a lawyer, a historian, a psychologist, and argue this out with each other." Then he reads the debate.

8. Pay attention to the exact moment you think "I do not know how to figure this out." Most people give up there. That is the moment you should open the AI.

9. The only real skill left in using AI is knowing what to ask. The models can do almost anything you can describe in plain English. The bottleneck lives in your own head.

10. You can send AI photos of almost anything medical now and get a real answer. Skin rashes. Blood test results. The new models read images not just text. A free 24/7 second opinion on anything.

11. The one type of therapy clinically proven to work is cognitive behavioral therapy. It is also something an AI can fully do on its own. Every person on earth is about to have access to a real therapist for free anytime they want.

12. AI is solving math problems open for 100 years that no human mathematician could crack. Same thing is starting in physics, chemistry, and biology. Expect cancer cures and weird new physics breakthroughs in the next few years.

13. The best AI coders in Silicon Valley now make $50 million a year. One person. That number tells you how big this thing actually is when you strip away all the doom takes.

14. One friend paid $200 to decode his entire DNA. Then gave the AI his DNA, blood test results, and Apple Watch data. The AI built him a full health dashboard and started telling him exactly what to fix.

15. Another friend put two cameras in his home jiu jitsu gym. AI watches him spar and gives him technique notes after every round. A world-class coach at every practice for free.

16. The best programmers in Silicon Valley now run 20 AI coding bots simultaneously. Each bot writes code while they review the others. They call themselves AI vampires because going to bed means 20 workers stop and you lose money every hour you sleep.

17. The obvious next step: the bots will run their own bots. One human running 20 bots each running 20 more. One person. One laptop. 1,000 AI workers. This is months away not years.

I'm building a new age digital assets concern encompassing centralized finance, DLT & agentic computing (generative AI). My concerns possess what very few crypto or AI companies have - an actual moat buttressed by an international patent portfolio assisting us as we redefine value transfer. Anybody from Coinbase (or anywhere else) who wants to discuss my view of the future distributed value + AI brings, hit me in my DM.

BREAKING:

The world's 4th richest country bought Bitcoin.

Luxembourg allocated 1% of its entire sovereign wealth fund into BTC.

Not a retail investor.
Not a hedge fund.
A government.

Putting national wealth into Bitcoin.

Norway is watching.
Singapore is watching.
Every sovereign wealth fund on the planet is watching.

When the 4th richest country in the world chooses Bitcoin. The other 190 countries just took notes.

Governments don't allocate national wealth into experiments...

They allocate into inevitabilities.

An infuriated Dr John Campbell says the latest cancer study is remarkable and shows we could be curing the world of cancer with ivermectin/ mebendazole.

He breaks it down:

• 197 patients took 25mg ivermectin and 250 mg mebendazole daily for 90 days:

• 84% had a positive response

• only 15.6% had cancer progression

• the combination appears to be effective against a very wide range of cancers.

‘It just drives you mad really these studies are crying out to be done’

[William Makis @MakisMedicine]

Our "First-in-the-World" Ivermectin, Mebendazole, and Fenbendazole for Cancer paper continues to get a lot of traction 😃

But I promise you all, you've seen NOTHING yet!

Antiparasitic drugs Mebendazole & Fenbendazole are showing potent activity against cancer. Dr. Thomas Seyfried reveals the reason: cancer cells and parasites share a critical metabolic engine—mitochondrial substrate-level phosphorylation.

These drugs target this specific pathway, crippling the energy production that both depend on. This synergy is powerfully enhanced under nutritional ketosis. A new paradigm for a classic drug.

[healthbot @thehealthb0t]

Hydroxychloroquine allows viruses to attack cancer cells while leaving healthy cells alone.

Seems like information the public deserves to know.

Why do you think they tried to obscure this data in the study? Maybe because it would be bad for the cancer industry’s business.
