"Free" tokens are not free. They're a trap.
Microsoft and Facebook did it before: Offer you space to build your product. Then steal it and make it better. These companies don't invest in you. They study you, your product and your customers. Then they make it better themselves.
Don't get into the mouse trap. Build on open source.
Just as the legacy media ignored my report on the FDA’s cover-up, they are now ignoring @TulsiGabbard’s report on Fauci’s lies.
Until the legacy media starts reporting on and treating these scandals as news, the public will remain unaware, and corrupt actors will not be fully exposed.
Sam Altman walked into YC, offering founders $1M in free tokens for a slice of equity.
Jason's advice: run.
OpenAI is watching your token usage, ranking the winners, then shipping the top 5 as native features.
Get off the frontier models, use open source, and own your data.

Major areas where the financial system still needs an update:
1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution.
2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency.
3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments.
4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor.
5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.
6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.
7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.
8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.
Jobs not done until we get these working for all.
Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.
the funniest thing in this article is
you shaped it as democracy vs CCP or USA vs CHINA
but in reality its open source vs YOU
if you really cared about democracy you would have open sourced your models too
but you don't care about democracy you are just trying to use nationalism to your advantage
Robert Kennedy Jr. wants to do the most basic thing science can do - compare the health outcomes of vaccinated children to unvaccinated children using the largest medical database in America.
That's it. That's the study. That's the scientific method.
And the American Academy of Pediatrics is suing him to stop it.
Think about what that means. Not content with blocking changes to the vaccine schedule, they are now going to court to prevent an investigation into whether the schedule is actually producing healthy children. The one question the entire program should have been answering for fifty years, and the people who run that program are fighting in federal court to make sure it never gets asked.
This is an industry protecting itself from its own data.
I am not accusing anyone in medicine of malice. I am saying that the long-term health investigation has never been done with the seriousness it deserves, and now that someone is finally trying to do it, there is a worldwide effort to shut it down before it starts.
We have to do this study. We have databases right now, like the Henry Ford Health database, that could give us real answers. Every database in this country should be opened to this investigation. The scientific method demands it. The health of our children demands it.
The only people who have something to fear from the truth are the ones fighting this hard to hide from it.

We've been building HermesOS quietly.
The roadmap is now public.
Here's what we're building, why the architecture is different, and where this is actually going ↓
🚨 Exposing California's corrupt "Stop Nick Shirley Act", instead of going after the fraudsters California is now going after the people exposing the fraud.
This bill AB 2624 will:
- Criminalize journalists with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown
- Let immigrant based NGOs' funding be confidential
- Take away freedom of the press from journalists
- Protect any "immigration support services" information from being public (healthcare, legal services, etc)
This bill was created by the Attorney General's WIFE Mia Bonta to stop fraud from being exposed. Please like and share this video everywhere! By trying to silence and intimidate journalists, they are trying to hide the truth from you. EXPOSE ALL THE FRAUD.
"Every major AI platform — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity — stores your conversations on centralized servers. That data can be reviewed, classified, subpoenaed, hacked, or sold. You're trusting the company, its employees, its vendors, and every government that asks.
Venice is architecturally different. Prompts are not stored server-side. Chat history lives in the user's browser. And as of March 18, 2026, Venice offers something no other AI platform does: verifiable encryption."
Plastic blenders are a source of microplastics that most people overlook.
Those with plastic jars or pitchers release microplastics, and even nanoplastics, into blended food or drinks due to friction and mechanical abrasion during blending.
A single 30-second blending cycle can release up to 1 billion (yes, with a "b") micro- and nanoplastic particles.
BPA-free products are safer but can still release particles due to heavy use, heat, or abrasion. My advice is to switch to a completely stainless-steel blender. It's the only way to avoid contamination.

BREAKING: David @friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt"
"People don't realize how screwed California is, & I worry that if California falls, so does the union.
"$250 billion to $1 trillion short."
"This is because for California to get rescued would be a big cost to red states, & I think it creates in the years ahead a lot of tension."
"California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country. & I think we need to figure out what we can change to fix it."
How we got here:
"California has a public pension system, & that public pension system retirees have paid into it & they get some benefits out, & the amount that they're owed back out is somewhere between $250 billion - $1 trillion dollars more than has been paid in.
$250 billion to $1 trillion short.
If it was the federal government, it would be like, okay, we'll just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits.
There is a Supreme Court case in California that said that once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits.
It has to stay forever, and the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it. No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California.
So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."

i pointed Claude Code at the pentagon's public budget document and told it to find every contract overpaying by 10x or more
it came back with 340 results worth $4.2B in potential undercuts
and a business plan i didn't ask for
i fed it the https://t.co/3CQBFJn9wZ procurement feed and said "cross-reference with commercial COTS pricing"
it pulled 1.2 million contract awards through the USAspending v2 API and started comparing line items against retail equivalents
→ $1,280 for a connector plug that costs $14.80 on digikey
→ $3,400 for a circuit breaker listed at $287 on mouser
→ $71,000 for a ruggedized tablet that's basically a panasonic toughbook with a sticker
→ $940 per unit for cable assemblies you can get from shenzhen for $31
→ 340 contracts flagged at 10x or more markup
→ 19 of them were above 50x
it used XGBoost scoring against 43,000 vendor profiles from https://t.co/u7d1M3XLRP to rank by ease of undercut
then unprompted it generated a full proposal template compliant with CMMC 2.0 requirements
87 of those contracts have a single domestic supplier, zero competition. the AI calculated that undercutting by just 40% would still leave 6x margins on most items
it formatted everything into a pitch deck, named the company, and suggested i register on https://t.co/u7d1M3XLRP tonight
i didn't ask for any of that
the pentagon spends billions a year trying to audit problems like this. a poet with Claude Code and a public API flagged $4.2 billion in one afternoon
the agent is currently drafting my first bid response
