Announcing the launch of @NTXAI_org North Texas AI (https://t.co/fxbH7zkwlK), a monthly gathering for the people using AI to change businesses in North Texas.

North Texas is one of the fastest-growing technology regions in the country, with people moving here from both coasts every day (it’s actually the #1 U-Haul destination in the country) + multiple Fortune-ranked companies now headquarter here + if it were a state, it would be bigger than 40 other states + it’s TEXAS!

We need a place for AI founders, builders, and engineers to meet with enterprise leaders, investors, students, professors, and civic leaders, so they can connect and work together to define how AI will be applied in businesses. Every AI builder gets a 60-second slot to introduce themselves, followed by open networking time. No panels, no big pitching, no sales agendas.

We’re partnering with the @McKinneyTxEDC Innovation Unwind for our first meetup:

📍 Monday, June 15, 2026
🕓 4:00 PM - 6:30 PM
🍻 TUPPS Brewery, McKinney Texas

If you’re deep in the weeds vibe coding – or just AI curious, RSVP now (space is limited):

This is the nudge you needed. With Claude Max/API access shifting, OpenClaw + local inference (Ollama, LM Studio) is the sustainable path. Your data stays yours, no subscription cliff. 🦞 https://t.co/4FeKZy6skY

[John Scott-Railton @jsrailton]

Using 🦞#OpenClaw & about to lose @AnthropicAI access?

This is a sign: pivot to private inference.

Strong, open models in encrypted enclaves that only you can see await you

[JOSHU₳ @joshualeestone]

Since you asked…

First, I appreciate you being here long term. That really matters. The @stuff_io / @book_io community has been awesome. I love you guys. Seriously.

Here’s what’s actually happening behind the scenes:

We are building media infrastructure (not a meme token). Real infrastructure is slower, more difficult, and less flashy in bear cycles.

In the last five years we have:
• Deployed across 6 blockchains
• Released 1,000+ projects
• Worked with hundreds of creators across books, music, film, and digital media
• Rebuilt tokenomics toward a product-driven consumption model

We’re in late-stage discussions on a very large enterprise initiative - the biggest thing we have ever done by several orders of magnitude. NDAs are real, so we can’t announce details yet. I know that’s frustrating. But it’s significant. As soon as we can share we will.

Most Web3 projects don’t have a consumable product that attracts liquidity from outside crypto. We do. But onboarding enterprises and mainstream users takes time and education.

For me personally I have been thinking of how we can get back to the basics and make things easier for people - first principles type stuff. How can we do this 10x more efficiently, what assumption from the past should we keep and what should we throw out.

About $STUFF:
I don’t talk much about the token because I never want anyone to think we’re trying to pump and dump. I share the frustration around the chart. It’s not unique to us and in many ways mirrors what Cardano experienced last year. No one enjoys seeing yearly lows. If ADA were trading at $4, we’d be in a very different position.

The silver lining is that many great companies are built in bear markets. I personally embrace that environment. It creates discipline, filters out noise, and gives builders room to execute. I also don’t mind proving haters wrong. There’s a Rockefeller quote I’ve always appreciated: the way to make money is to buy when there’s blood in the streets. From my perspective, periods like this are opportunity windows.

I won’t restate every utility here since the white paper covers it in depth, but at a high level:
• $STUFF will power our Layer 2 for media transactions
• It will power our marketplace and secondary store, both currently in development
• It will drive the Consume-to-Earn mechanism
• We are also preparing to bridge it to another chain (possibly two in discussion)

This is real infrastructure, not a narrative experiment.

Internally we joke that if we only cared about getting rich fast, we’d launch a meme token, promise massive returns, pump it, and disappear like many have done before. But that’s not who we are. We are building something meant to last. We believe the model is genuinely good for both creators and consumers. This is mission driven, not a shortcut to quick money.

We are not chasing meme cycles. We are not here to pump bags. We do not promise instant doubles or 1000x moves in a week.

What most Web3 projects lack is what we do have: a real consumable product. Digital media brings in real users from outside the crypto bubble. As those users come in, liquidity follows. That process takes time. It also requires significant education and onboarding work, especially at the enterprise level.

We are building patiently, through market cycles, with real products and real adoption as the focus.

About AI:
We have been in AI from the beginning. Before ChatGPT was publicly released, we were already using AI in the summer of 2022 to generate and sell book covers. AI has not been a trend we jumped on. It has been embedded in our company since the earliest days. We have dedicated AI engineers on the team, and these tools have been part of how we build for years.

Very early on we recognized that AI would dramatically expand the number of creators capable of producing meaningful work. Entire industries such as books, music, and film are being reshaped in real time. When creation becomes easier and more accessible, the bottleneck shifts from production to distribution, audience building, and monetization. We positioned ourselves to serve that shift. Our goal is to be the marketplace where this new wave of creators can connect directly with fans and sell their work. That evolution is already underway and still accelerating.

At the same time, we are aggressively pushing into agentic AI programming to fundamentally change how we operate. I am deeply focused on rethinking how we run the team, write and ship code, manage projects, and structure the entire production pipeline. We are designing workflows that are far more agent driven, while still carefully determining the right level of human oversight. The result is a level of speed that is difficult to overstate.

Some people are unsettled by this acceleration. I see it as a massive advantage. We already have an exceptional, highly creative, deeply technical team. AI does not replace that talent. It amplifies it. What used to take months now takes days. What used to take weeks now takes hours. That changes everything about how fast we can build.

—

If you’re looking for reassurance, just know we’re still here and actively building. We’ve been doing this every day for nearly five years. The opportunities in front of us is massive, and the timing of agentic development has allowed us to keep pace with the scale of the enterprise deals we’re working on. These are huge, meaningful initiatives with real upside, designed to bring in lots of new users and deeper liquidity through product sales and onboarding to blockchain infrastructure.

We’re not here to pump tokens or promise unrealistic returns. Our focus is building something durable. We are expanding enterprise distribution, accelerating development with AI, and increasing real token utility across the platform. Those fundamentals are what drive long term value.

We’re still here. Still building. Five years in.

Thank you @joshualeestone for stopping by our SMU and UT Dallas undergraduate entrepreneurship classes today.

You gave students a real look at where tech is headed from AI to blockchain and why builders, not spectators, will shape what comes next.

The 🤯 moments were real.

Grateful for leaders who show students how to ship, not just talk.

Great article from @willcanny99 at @coindesk. Tokenized infrastructure will be foundational and we will move from only speculation to actual institutional legitimization. Very excited about the things we are working on for 2026 and how well aligned and positioned we are.

[$SONG on Cardano @songoncardano]

⚠️ BIG CARDANO MOMENT ⚠️
20,000 NFT songs sold is a big milestone for us, but let this be just the beginning of a beautiful story. The future of music is on the blockchain and on Cardano. Time will show everything. This is a big moment for us right now. We want to thank the @stuff_io team, the team at @nmkr_io, our dear @IOHK_Charles, @joshualeestone, @Padierfind, @OneBillian , and the entire #CardanoCommunity for their trust.

We continue to dream, we continue to build, we continue to spread positive Cardano vibes and faith in this ecosystem.

$ADA will win in the end, and we want to be there when that victory happens, together with everyone who has walked this journey with us shoulder to shoulder.

Believe in Cardano, believe in the technology, believe in the process, the future belongs to us…
We love you.
WE'RE STAYING LONG ON $SONG
