I am a husband and project manager with strong opinions about many things, and weak opinions about even more things. I was also a Graph Advocate.

This essay explores the concept of ownership & its role in projects like The Graph (a decentralized web protocol) @graphprotocol . It dives into how aligned incentives can foster a strong community. https://t.co/7W4U778Mg9 🧵 1/8

I'm building education data collections and visualizations from public open data as part of my work with
@geoprotocol

as a curator. Preview for first of many. https://t.co/sJ48JTM5Wy Check it out if you have ever wanted to compare nations across metrics easily!

@mattvanswol There are like 4 community notes rating the community note on yours not needed. Keep advocating for yourself, more community noters might see reason and vote the note not helpful for being not necessary. It is just an algorithm.

BREAKING: No, ChatGPT did not “help the shooter kill kids.”
The lawsuit DOES NOT allege that.

Here’s what the actual claims say (not the exaggerated clickbait you’re parroting):
✔️ The moderation system flagged concerning comments for human review.
✔️ OpenAI employees recognized imminent risk and recommended alerting authorities.
✔️ Leadership chose not to escalate to police.
✔️ The only response taken was banning one account, which didn’t prevent the shooter from creating another.

Nowhere does the complaint say:
💥 “AI encouraged or taught the shooter to kill.”
💥 “AI was her partner in crime.”
💥 “AI gave her the plan.”
That’s you making up a story, not the plaintiffs.

So let’s cut the nonsense: If you want to criticize OpenAI’s choices, fine, do it with the actual text in front of you, but don’t pretend a lawsuit is alleging something it isn’t just to score PR points for Grok or yourself.

Facts matter.
Reality matters.
Truth matters.

Stop repeating unverified spin.

@yanivgraph If you can get in a call with anyone from the www consortium, especially those working on Solid and protocols like activitypub, that would be absolutely amazing.

@geoprotocol In spaces, each community will evolve. I think keeping it social is smart. When web 3 was new there was a lot of excitement about smart contracts, but social contracts and human interaction are old and have evolved to facilitate building great things together. Let’s leverage it!

[Thomas Freestone | athsrueas.eth @athsrueas]

@geoprotocol I asked this question, and I think part of yanivs answer on the recording needs to be highlighted here. I am paraphrasing but you can listen to his words “People who have done the work to become an expert in their field tend to be able to recognize others who have done the same.”

Learning doesn't happen on any platform or in a place, it happens in the mind. Wrestle and struggle with your own thoughts.

@0xTheGraph To be fair, how is anyone supposed to know the truth when the information is compromised and inaccurate? This is why we need @geoprotocol

[KeepCalmAndDrawl ☦️ @FormerlyFormer]

@ProfMJCleveland @PressSec Seems there was a paperwork snafu, so one of the 4 flights was refused until the paperwork is in order. Mexico took the rest, and is cooperating fine.

Once again, our press spun the headlines on that in a way that amounts to a lie.

You don’t despise them enough.

[Thomas Freestone | athsrueas.eth @athsrueas]

@0xTheGraph The pendulum swings wider and wider. The politics becomes more and more extreme on both sides. The average person (in the middle) is asked to “pick a side” when neither side really represents the nuance of his beliefs or convictions. Parliamentary systems work a bit better.

[Thomas Freestone | athsrueas.eth @athsrueas]

All this “debate” about President Trump’s early actions in office are really revealing the laziness of average people on all sides of the issues. No one is doing the reading or reasoning. Just flinging shit at each other.

There’s blood on every hand. Get off your mountaintop.

CNN's Harry Enten gushes over Trump: "This is big league. This is a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they're seeing."

@HW_Helser @Tahir_Ch09 @TristanSnell From the law grok referenced: (Sec. 3) Requires the President and the heads of designated federal entities to communicate to Congress in writing the reasons for removing or transferring an IG no later than 30 days before such removal or transfer. https://t.co/pY1W7gW4XC

1/ Ethereum's next major upgrade, Pectra, is tentatively scheduled to go live in mid-March!

This will be Ethereum's largest upgrade in history (as measured by number of EIPs/features included).

Here's a breakdown of what's coming in Pectra 🧵👇

@itsdeaann It was just some guy named Doug Ford. His threat and snide comments. https://t.co/BZlfNLmXZY no official announcement or decision

@otnoderunner @yanivgraph @geoprotocol @origin_trail @SingularityNET The use case is very different. TRAC has had success with more private data use case in industry. The graph and geo are much more interested in public and transparent data

@PopBase Seems fine
