Need some evening/weekend reading? I just published this: https://t.co/imgcHFCPIA

Embrace the use of generative AI in education/academia rather than trying to ban it. Russell Group in UK sets an example: https://t.co/WWNrw23640

A must-read from my colleagues @hackerxbella and @jeff_pollard2 Defending AI Models: From Soon To Yesterday https://t.co/fhtH1idXTJ via @Forrester

Best analysis I've seen of the Silvergate disaster. Thank you.

[Frances 'Cassandra' Coppola @Frances_Coppola]

New post. Lessons from the disaster engulfing Silvergate Capital. Backing deposits with govt securities is not "full reserve" banking. And you really shouldn't ignore fair value losses on securities you might have to sell. https://t.co/sHjr4SY7ym #crypto #banking #silvergate

This really is a fascinating project. Thanks @slhamlet for highlighting it.

[Wagner James Au @slhamlet]

I'm super-biased as a longtime admirer & colleague of @caseorganic, but this is a fascinating project aiming to be an alternative to how companies treat our user data now, starting with their "Click to Agree" TOS ultimatum. 👇

Twitter seems to have cut off API access to Tweetdeck. Really?

[Martha Bennett @martha_bennett]

Most interesting - thanks for sharing.

In #CloudEmpires I wrote that marketplace platforms are resolving more disputes than public courts. What I didn’t know was that dispute resolution tech from those platforms is now being adopted by public courts! 🤯 https://t.co/X6GhTXa4hT thank you @ValueAddedRS

[Martha Bennett @martha_bennett]

Thanks for saying what needed to be said (and will probably need to be repeated at regular intervals).

New on Forbes: A Real Alternative To Cards In Europe https://t.co/tjZJcN57V0

The problem isn’t that Europe doesn’t have an alternative pan-European card scheme. The problem is that Europe doesn’t have a pan-European alternative to cards.

[Martha Bennett @martha_bennett]

This is well worth watching, whether or not you've read the book, Cloud Empires. If you haven't and are interested in Web3, it's a must-read!

[Oxford Internet Institute @oiioxford]

Missed @ViliLe @oiioxford speaking to @utkarsh_amitabh @netcapglobal about the evolution of tech platforms and his new book #CloudEmpires? Recording out now! Watch the interview or listen to the podcast here:

[Martha Bennett @martha_bennett]

A must-read. Thanks for putting it so succinctly.

How should Binance Prove it is Solvent?
Self-regulated crypto exchanges need to prove their solvency using stress tests for capital adequacy, not a proof of reserves.

Great blog post by @Frances_Coppola on #stablecoins. The following also applies to all smart contracts, incl. DAOs: a "program .. cannot compute for all states of the world, since code is written by humans and no human has perfect foresight" https://t.co/Ww8MFVoOzr

@Kiffmeister Singapore meanwhile: "While there is no need to issue a Singapore dollar retail CBDC at this point, it is prudent for MAS to embark on exploratory work to develop the technical and policy capabilities for its possible issuance in the future" https://t.co/f9s8UKUl3L
