MAYBE I WAS WRONG ABOUT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
I wrote about how I always used to make fun of the guys who said things like "Bitcoin is speculative, but the underlying blockchain technology is interesting." And now I think maybe they kinda had a point.
Building a trust layer for the Internet requires both network resilience and Proof of Human. Excited to welcome @worldnetwork as our Marquee Partner for #CloudflareConnect in SF, Oct 19–21! Let’s build what’s next, together. https://t.co/YCwgnPlLDj
Humans + agents + AI + the future of the internet.
Hear about it all from @Cloudflare and World at Cloudflare Connect on Tuesday.

The most powerful thing we can give the next generation is ownership in the future.
Giving every child a stake in innovation and technology with @TrumpAccounts can help make the American dream more tangible for millions of families. Long-term thinking starts early.
LATEST: 🏦 Sam Altman's World rolled out World ID for banking and finance, giving institutions cryptographic proof that a real human is behind each transfer, trade, or customer request.
In 2024, an employee at engineering firm Arup transferred $25.6 million after joining a video call where every other participant was a deepfake. Since then, AI has advanced significantly and is making impersonation increasingly convincing, causing challenges for financial institutions in particular. As autonomous agents begin handling more financial activity on behalf of people, establishing an added layer of trust and security behind a transaction or sensitive conversation is becoming an urgent need.
Introducing @world_id for banking and finance, a suite of technologies that helps institutions establish trust through privacy-preserving cryptographic Proofs. World ID for Zoom lets meeting participants confirm they are the same Orb-verified human connected to their account, while World ID for agents allows AI agents to carry Proofs delegated by people. Bain Capital, OpenExchange, Outtake, Pantera Capital, and VanEck Funds are initial design partners, bringing World ID into some of finance's most consequential interactions.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.
dear GEOTUS @realDonaldTrump I have a high verbal IQ and am very adept at harassing journalists. I was captain of the debate team. I am not female, blonde or particularly attractive but I believe I can compensate for that in the form of witty repartee. I offer you my services as press secretary entirely free of charge.
I've known @jamestalarico for nearly 20 years. When we were at @UTAustin in 2009, he ran the University Democrats and I ran the College Republicans. Although we disagreed, I once considered him a friend. But then he betrayed the entire student body for his own political gain.🧵
The day before… maybe the months before. When someone builds a mountain, don’t back down. Climb it, and see what happens. What the SpaceX and Tesla teams did tonight shows what throwing doubt to the wind and ego aside can do. Thanks to everyone in the fold, you are all amazing and we stand taller together. Much love team - you know I got your back.
