The timeline for post quantum Ethereum is obviously indeterminant and we won't know until after the Copenhagen retreat.

pqai27: Our view on post-quantum and post-AI timelines.

We shared this on Ethereum Magicians as input into the Ethereum governance process.

Sharing this one again, Jensen’s first tweet ever, earlier this year.

“Why open models matter”

Four months later, fired from the company he built from scratch over 30 years.

That a firing of such consequence occurred without a special shareholder vote tells you the real story: it was not about his capabilities in leading Nvidia as CEO, but rather about geopolitics.

And there’s still no evidence the woman was actually a spy, but evidence is an unnecessary precondition.

@SociopathOnMars @Leophilius @m966021 Therefore if selection history is enough to underwrite talk of proper function, good hearts, and truth-tracking cognition, it is difficult to quarantine normativity away from biology while still treating our own evaluative and epistemic practices as meaningful.

[MuteDialog @MuteDialog]

@SociopathOnMars @Leophilius @m966021 This is somewhat related to the question of whether we can speak of truth if there is no free will. I would argue we can because reasoning was under selection pressure and mechanisms that systematically misrepresented reality tended to be selected against.

@Psikobilim_ This is what Ted said

You heard it here first.

Once Jensen falls Hugging Face shuts down, and after that nobody's downloading open models anymore. The people at the top only care about money and power. Our freedom won't survive that.

So pull the open models you care about off Hugging Face now, while you still can. Nobody knows what the next few years look like.

Grab a mix of sizes:
• Ornith 9B
• Qwen3.8-27B
• DeepSeek-V4-Flash
• GLM-5.3

Save each one as GGUF Q4. Add the MLX 4-bit for Apple Silicon when there is one, and NVFP4 if you've got Blackwell hardware.

4-bit is the sweet spot. You keep the quality and don't burn storage.

Can't run the biggest ones yet? Doesn't mean you won't be able to tomorrow.

Stash them somewhere safe. One day you'll be really glad you did.

this would actually be crazy if the Nvidia board fired Jensen and Elon hires him to lead vertically integrated compute hardware design & manufacturing

[Péter Szilágyi @peter_szilagyi]

My advice to everyone, if you have a networked smart device, rip the connectivity out of it, *now*.

Unplug the ethernet, get it off the WiFI, trash it if you can’t. There’s a storm coming, and it’s going to be scary.

It’s the time of reckoning for decades of IoT negligence.

[Mario Hachemer @MarioHachemer]

Don't make the mistake of thinking this is about his infidelity. These articles will not stop until he agrees to follow Anthropic's proposal to block inference for unsigned and registered open-models in the firmware of modern GPUs.

This is a pretty transparent concerted effort at centralizing control over compute ressources and the ability to execute ever more powerful local models. Jensen is the tip of the spear pushing back at this (in part for his own economic reasons).

I'm team Jensen, his affairs are none of my business, not even the alleged support of circumvention of export controls are my business, his position on open-weight models is.

@AnettRolikova No they have done plenty of much dumber stuff.

[Will Corcoran @corcoranwill]

Emile: I would say no one predicted correctly how fast AI would come. And so I think it's a fact that technology is accelerating extremely fast currently. And the safe bet is not to bet on long timelines for quantum computers, and instead to be very cautious and to essentially switch to post-quantum cryptography as soon as possible, meaning very soon.

Interviewer: And how optimistic are you that Ethereum will solve that problem before the day comes?

Emile: Absolutely optimistic and confident.

Interviewer: Why?

Emile: Because it's kind of solved, I would say. Like, we have everything we need. We have hash-based STARKs aggregating hash-based signatures. Everything works nicely. Relies on the security of traditional hash functions. Extremely secure, scalable. We just need to put it in place and its done.

David Walliams case exposes problems with the post-Christian ethos that valorises the sexual revolution but struggles to create a consensus in its place that can articulate why his actions were wrong if they were consensual/legal. In effect, we’ve outsourced sexual morality to HR
