This is why I Venice! 👇

[Jun Song @jun_song]

What people are missing about the US government's AI regulation announcement:

ID verification will now be forced on all accounts to prove citizenship.

Frontier labs will take your data, and your sovereignty is officially dead.

A permanent underclass division and a total control society are beginning right now.

People ignored me when I started saying this last year, but it is happening right in front of our eyes.

Get into Open-Source and Sovereign AI.

Advancing together through collective intelligence is the only way to fight back.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

This is one of the most exciting investments of my lifetime.

INTERVIEW - @AskVenice Is Here to Win: How Private AI Takes On OpenAI and Anthropic

@TrustlessState sits down with @JonShapeShift and @jesseproudman to unpack how Venice is taking on OpenAI and Anthropic with private AI.

They talk about:

- why AI is becoming the biggest data honeypot ever
- private @grok access through Venice
- unrestricted AI as a consumer wedge
- how non-crypto users still feed the $VVV economy
- $DIEM, tokenized inference, and AI agents

A little bit of $VVV alpha - Be excited, be very excited.

So now you know a piece of V2 -- "Minds". Bringing power users together to assemble new agentic capabilities.

I wonder how they will integrate incentives 🤔 - something you may want to ponder no?

@chamathsintern So.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@MilkRoad What type of analysis is this? Is this a serious account? This whole account feels like it run by an eighth grader.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@DavidFBailey You read that in 11 minutes?

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@Pentosh1 any pullback will be short lived. Gotta get that Space X IPO out and its gonna need a frothy market.

[Erik Voorhees @ErikVoorhees]

We like to use the metaphor of Venice as the port city of AI. It guides our product designs toward composability: an open platform rather than a walled garden.

Others are now building on this open platform with https://t.co/HGUdedRZRR

This new community page shows many of the things emerging in the lagoon.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@andyyy VVV. Hands down. Anthropic and Open Ai will be valued around $1 trillion. Venice is valued under $1 billion. Do you know how big the difference is between 1 trillion and a billion?

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@dyologician VVV.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@CryptoTony__ VVV.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@danielisdizzy What happens when people start to figure out that you can go by https://t.co/aXdTNnviXu at underneath $1 billion while Anthropic and OpenAI do their thing? VVV.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@GrantCardone @SimonDixonTwitt They will never, ever audit Fort Knox. Pure theater. And, they obv should.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

@Cantrushit yes.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

Both Anthropic and OpenAI are valued around $1 trillion. Venice AI (VVV) is valued at ~$800 million and is the antidote to many of the ills around the biggest frontier labs.

And, would you rather have @ErikVoorhees running a centralized AI company or Altman? I know my pick.

[Scott L. Byrd @ScottByrd]

Long but worth it.
