Does anyone else feel that running AI models and agents locally, on your own computer, should be much easier?
The privacy benefits are clear: your data stays with you. But while there are many open-source models and projects out there, turning them into a usable local AI agent is still far too hard for non-engineers.
@BRICSinfo If Israel won't stop, then they should deal with it on their own.
It's word like Ben Gvir's and Israel Katz' that fully legitimize retaliation on Israel, including Iran's and Lebanon's right to defend themselves.
Israels government disturbs peace. It couldn't be clearer.
⚫ Il est difficile de trouver les mots pour exprimer toute la tristesse que nous ressentons après la disparition de notre coach Éric Roy.
Le Président, la direction et l’ensemble du Stade Brestois 29 partagent la douleur de sa famille, de son épouse, de ses 2 enfants, ainsi que de tous ses proches.
Éric Roy était une personne inspirante qui a énormément apporté au Stade Brestois. Aimé et respecté des supporters, il a contribué à écrire les plus belles pages de l’histoire du club et lui a permis d’atteindre un niveau historique.
Tant de choses pourraient être dites aujourd’hui, mais c’est avant tout l’émotion et la peine de perdre un être cher qui nous envahissent.
Éric, nous n’oublierons jamais tout ce que tu as apporté au club, ni l’homme que tu étais. Tu resteras à jamais dans nos cœurs et dans l’histoire du Stade Brestois 29.

Watch Pi Founder Nicolas Kokkalis speak in the Consensus 2026 panel “How to Prove You’re Human in an AI World (Without Doxing Yourself)”.
The discussion focused on how digital trust and identity verification systems must evolve as AI makes it possible to generate bots, agents, and synthetic identities that closely resemble real human behavior at scale.
The panel explored a core question for the AI era: how systems can continue to verify real human participation without requiring unnecessary disclosure of personal information.
A key theme was that proof of humanity is context-dependent, with different systems requiring different levels of verification depending on use case and risk.
The importance of privacy-preserving design was also highlighted, ensuring verification can scale while remaining usable for real users.
As AI lowers the barrier to building and interacting online, the harder challenge may be connecting digital systems to real users, trusted participation, and meaningful utility.
Pi’s Layer 1 blockchain, identity verification, payments infrastructure, non-custodial wallets, smart contracts, and engaged global community are all part of Pi’s ongoing work to address that challenge.

Pi Founder Chengdiao Fan’s talk at Consensus 2026 was centred on a simple but important challenge:
The frequent misalignment between token design and real product innovation.
Her presentation, “Aligning Web3, AI, and Blockchain for Utility,” explored how tokens can be treated as tools that can support user acquisition, product engagement, and long-term utility.
One implementation of this approach is Pi Launchpad, Pi’s design for ecosystem tokens and launch mechanisms that aims to help products acquire real users who can engage, provide feedback, and use those tokens within actual product experiences.
As AI makes it easier to build applications, the limiting factor is no longer creation.
It is distribution and usage.
Pi’s approach combines blockchain infrastructure, innovative token and launch mechanisms, identity verification, and a large engaged network of real users to address that gap directly.
Enjoy the full talk & leave your thoughts on Pi’s approach to tokens and launch mechanisms!

🚨AFFAIRE BARBARA BUTCH : NOUS DEMANDONS LA PUBLICATION DE TOUS LES APPELS D’OFFRES AUXQUELS ELLE A PARTICIPÉ🚨
La Ville de Paris a nommé Barbara Butch directrice artistique de la Nuit Blanche 2026.
Sa société, « Butch Events », créée peu de temps avant l'attribution , va ainsi toucher 42 000 € de fonds publics.
Les marchés publics suivent des règles très strictes pour la désignation de prestataires de services. La mise en concurrence est obligatoire…mais seulement à partir de 50 000 €...
Tout semble donc légal.
Pourtant, le timing et le montant alloué soulèvent la question d'un choix purement politique.
📢 Pour y voir plus clair, nous demandons officiellement à la Ville de Paris de publier tous les contrats passés avec l'artiste, ainsi que tous les appels d’offres (gagnés ou non) auxquels celle-ci a participé.
Aidez-nous en donnant à ce post un maximum de portée : la Ville de Paris doit nous apporter ces réponses sans que nous soyons, une nouvelle fois, obligés de passer par le tribunal…
