In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Netflix x Ready Player Me !!
I’m excited to announce that @readyplayerme has been acquired by @netflix.
Our team will be joining Netflix to contribute to their gaming strategy with our cross-game avatar tech, enabling players to carry their identities and fandom across games.
We started the company 12 years ago with Rainer, Kaspar and Haver. We were 20-year-olds from small towns in Estonia. We knew nothing about tech or startups, but were obsessed with avatars. Over the last 12 years, we have built many different products around avatars, from hardware scanners to personal avatar tech and eventually launching Ready Player Me more than 5 years ago.
I’m very proud of the work with did with Ready Player Me, pushing cross-game interoperability further than anyone else before and serving thousands of developers.
We learned a lot as founders throughout those years and managed to build an incredible team that worked very hard to build this company. We were lucky to raise $72m and work with some of the best investors in the world. I’m incredibly grateful for the support and partnership from @a16z, @pluralplatform, @konvoycapital, Riccardo Zacconi, Sebastian Knutsson, Marc Petit, Joshua S. Duyan and our earliest backers Mart Habakuk and Estonian Business School. There were many others that supported and helped us along the way, thank you to all of you!
Our vision has always been to enable avatars and identities to travel across many games and virtual worlds. We’ve been on an independent path to make that vision a reality for a long time. I’m now very excited for the Ready Player Me team to join Netflix to scale our tech and expertise to a global audience and contribute to the exciting vision Netflix has for gaming.

1/ Fed Thread, restarting QE
- Cutting rates 25 bps to 3.5-3.75%
- 3 Dissents, 9 to 3 vote
- FED SAYS IT WILL BUY $40 BILLION OF TREASURY BILLS NEXT 30 DAYS, WILL BEGIN PURCHASES ON DECEMBER 12TH (BILLS TO 3 YEAR NOTES)
- NEXT YEAR DOT PLOT CALLS FOR ONE CUT
Federal Reserve officials delivered a third consecutive interest-rate reduction, lowering the benchmark federal funds rate to a range of 3.5%-3.75%.
The Federal Open Market Committee voted 9-3 to lower the rate, with dissents on both ends of the policy spectrum, highlighting divisions among policymakers over weakness in the labor market or stubborn inflation.
Fed officials maintained their outlook for just one cut in 2026 and authorized fresh purchases of short-term Treasury securities to maintain an “ample” supply of bank reserves.

A new campaign reveals that attackers have moved beyond mimicking trusted brands to actively utilizing legitimate AI services to host malicious payloads. The infection chain begins with a routine Google search.
Users querying common troubleshooting phrases such as "Clear disk space on macOS" are presented with high-ranking results that appear to be helpful guides hosted on legitimate domains: chatgpt[.]com and grok[.]com.

When an empire runs out of its own money, it is able to increase the supply of money. However, printing more money causes borrowing to increase creating a financial bubble. I urge you to watch “The Changing World Order” on my YouTube channel to understand how, and what it means for all of us.

Civilizations rise when they borrow and blend ideas, and fall when they harden into orthodoxy. In F&D magazine, Johan Norberg traces how openness to trade and thought made Athens, Baghdad, and others flourish. https://t.co/TULeIhAyXG
