[Ayaan 🐧 @twtayaan]

The creator of Linux just publicly called out the AI hype. Word for word.

Linus Torvalds took the stage at Open Source Summit 2026 and said this:

"When I see people saying 99% of our code is written by AI, I literally get angry. Because those same people — I can pretty much guarantee — 100% of their code is written by compilers. But they never say that."

He is not anti AI. The Linux kernel saw a 20% jump in submissions this release because of AI tools. He uses it. He gets it.

His point is something most people are too afraid to say.

AI is a productivity tool exactly like compilers were. Compilers boosted programming by 1000x. AI adds another 10x on top. Enormous. But nobody says "the compiler wrote my code." So why are we saying AI wrote it?

He also flagged something nobody is talking about.

AI is flooding small open source projects with drive-by bug reports. Someone runs a prompt, files a report and disappears when asked for a patch. Maintainers with one or two people are drowning trying to keep up.

"Sometimes AI reports a bug and when you ask for more information the person has done that drive-by and does not even answer your question. That is the real burnout issue."

And his final warning was the sharpest of all.

"People who do not understand the complexity of systems will prompt systems and write processes that will fail."

The AI hype crowd is very loud right now.

Linus has been building real systems for 35 years. When he talks, engineers listen.

Nethermind 1.38.0 is live: 51 contributors. 372 changes.

Nethermind co-authored EIP-7928 (Block-level Access Lists), which lands in this release. BALs let the client declare storage accesses up front and execute independent transactions in parallel rather than sequentially. EIP-7976 increases calldata floor cost and EIP-7981 prices access list tokens. All three are implemented ahead of Glamsterdam activation.

Several performance improvements: Hot-path optimizations across the execution layer. Address bytes are now embedded inline, removing a secondary allocation. EVM stack and EvmMemory tighten, parallel execution reduces worldstate and txprocessor allocations, and precompile caching extends.

EraE support arrives. Operators can prune historical data from local storage and re-import any block range from a SHA-256-verified remote archive, covering pre and post-merge.

The P2P layer rewrite cuts per-peer allocation by 54MB and 2.25M objects. Flat DB now persists its layout and refuses to start under a mismatched one, eliminating a class of restart-time corruption.

@PeterSchiff @FmrRepMTG The inflation rate is very specific to individuals/entities etc... it's tied to their spending preferences in large part and it's extremely easy to calculate. Keep track of each category w/ receipts. Ftr, it's way, way higher than the government numbers.

@scottmelker This is likely a non issue as functional programming becomes the standard for SC dev. AI will surely enable/accelerate it's adoption.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

SpaceX has almost finished writing V1.0 of an in-house AI training stack in C that exact-maps to 220k GB300s with 800G NICs, making heavy use of pipeline parallelism and getting as close to bare metal as possible.

The potential speed improvement vs JAX for large training runs is over an order of magnitude.

@DCinvestor Baffling to me how the comments suggest trump is the max extractor. Did he force degens to press the green button? The lack of personal accountability is staggering.

Aztec Alpha went live last quarter. The first privacy ZK rollup with full private smart contract execution on Ethereum mainnet.

We shipped a multi-asset fee payment contract (FPC) to testnet. FPCs are native to @aztecnetwork. What was missing was a version that supports non-native assets. With ours, users bridge USDC and pay fees in it directly, with no separate fee token to acquire first. One less wall between a new user and their first transaction.

Our Aztec Governance Dashboard went live. Our AztecNodes explorer added mainnet support. Plus developer tools: a faucet, a linter, an installable set of agent skills. And underneath, the protocol kept getting harder to break. 34 audit findings closed. Incident response through three post-launch events.

Privacy on Ethereum was a research direction for a decade. Last quarter, it became a working stack.

More of this energy in crypto

Remember when financial privacy was an important ideal?

Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens."

And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds.

Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before.

Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax.

A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program.

Simple.

They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why.

They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed.

They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak.

By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that...

And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren???

Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget.

NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K.

NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane.

The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol.

So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that.

A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical.

It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools

THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY.

Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough.

Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem.

That's the SCAM.

Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her.

Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal.

Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck.

Outrage is deflection.

They'd rather she pay.

Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

There is a growing movement of common sense Americans who are tired of inept political leaders, wasteful government spending, and a lack of public safety in their local community.

They will defeat the bureaucrat class by using the internet to expose the absurd incompetence.

Ethereum saw a 26k TPS peak within the last 24 hours.

With the Glamsterdam upgrade these numbers are going increase 300-400% to 100k TPS

[Aave @aave]

In accordance with the rsETH technical recovery plan, WETH LTVs on Aave V3 Ethereum Core, Ethereum Prime, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea have been restored to their pre-incident values.

WETH now operates as normal across all affected V3 deployments.
