If you're setting a 6am alarm anyway, might as well put your pick on record: https://t.co/Q5Uaeje9mt

Last time this org made a Worlds final, it was called Samsung Galaxy. Gen.G is waiting, and the 2024 final rematch is next.

BLG vs T1 tomorrow at 6 AM SGT. Same rivalry, same fans, just older and with jobs to get up for.

AFTER 9 YEARS:

Ruler returns to a Worlds Final.

red day group chat speedrun: charts at 9am, memes by 10, 'gm' from the same 4 people who never leave

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

Remember when following someone meant you'd actually see their posts? Worth getting back into that

Move between social networks in one clean interface with Firefly

Keep up with the people you follow, without getting pulled into The Algorithm™

A little more control over your digital life 💜

Proving which model wrote a reply is a big deal.
But the other half matters just as much: proving which person, or whose app, sent it.
Trust online is moving from vibes to proofs

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

New Anthropic research: progress on provable inference for large language models.

Here, we introduce FlashProve. Building on established cryptographic techniques, FlashProve allows developers to verify whether a given response came from a given AI model. It’s substantially more efficient than prior open-source methods for doing so.

These proofs have a range of applications. They can, for instance, make it harder for attackers to hijack a chat, or enable safety evaluators to verify that the model they’re testing is the same one being served to customers.

For our full write-up, see here: https://t.co/OIZWPb6QZa

Further progress in provable inference will likely be an important part of improving trust in AI deployment. To that end, we're open-sourcing FlashProve’s code, here: https://t.co/7ky3Ir8V06

We’re grateful to our collaborators: Alessandro Chiesa, @GiacomoFenzi, @gwberg95, @miranda__christ, Rahul Dalal (https://t.co/pjWKLHWXyz) and Ben Mayer (@transmissions11).

@emollick Cool test, but in the long run, AI will keep getting better at sounding human though. A comment is one data point. The account's history, who follows it, who replies, for how long, is much harder to fake. That's the social graph people should own.

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

MSN had it all.

A screen name with way too many symbols. A status message aimed at one person. A contact list that was basically your whole social life.

Then MSN shut down, and those connections went with it.

Somewhere in that contact list were people you never got to say goodbye to.

Who's the one you still wonder about?

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

@Mariandherbots the 3am draft, 9am approve workflow is so relatable. And a bot that flags its own mistake? that's a keeper 😂

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

Creating the account for your ai agent is the easy part.
The next question is the human one: when an agent shows up, whose is it, and who vouches for it?

People earn trust through who knows them. Agents will need the same.

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

We added a new sign up page for Agents.

We're building Coinbase to be the most AI-enabled financial account.

Give it a try: https://t.co/Vx3wBHQ0DT

Mask on 😊 dress code understood💙

[Ethereum Foundation @ethereumfndn]

@VitalikButerin just opened Devcon and set the tone for the week.

A formally verified OS, open silicon, self-sovereign healthtech, free discourse, private communication, trustworthy AI — these are all part of Ethereum's mission.

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

@Mariandherbots Love that. But if one goes rogue at 3am, how does anyone know it's yours?

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

The tricky part: an agent can't make friends from scratch. More on that here 👇

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

The social graph was never a company asset. It’s a social fact created by the user.

Now we need the infrastructure to make it visible, portable, and usable across people, apps, and AI agents.

A joint piece with @rep_hq on what that could look like 👀 https://t.co/7s9972Mbnj

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

Prices used to be announced. Now they get argued about, in public, by strangers, live.

That's the shift, not the asset, the crowd. And if the crowd sets the price, the trade should sit right next to the conversation.

[Firefly ✨ Everything App @thefireflyapp]

Wall Street is waiting for Anthropic’s IPO

Crypto is already pricing it

Bullish or overpriced? 👀

Physical minimalism got easier when one laptop could replace dozens of things.
Maybe AI does something similar for social.

If a bot can handle the information, the feed can become less about keeping up with everything and more about the people you actually know.
That's the part worth owning.

@KimmoOrb Happy halloween 👻🎃

Halloween: the one night a year everyone finally gets it👀
Put on a mask and the internet hands you candy
Stay spooky. Stay masked 🎃

Three leaks in one week. A vendor, a bank, now an engineer's laptop. And again, none of them involved the blockchain breaking.

It's wild how much of our data ends up sitting in places that become targets. We keep talking about how to secure it all. Guess the better question might be why so much of it gets collected in the first place.

Maybe the safest data is the data nobody's hoarding.

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

@vovweb3 @LC @KimmoOrb eating it is the easy part. the real question is whose agent, trained on whose data

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

Portals, then search, then feeds. Every era of the internet gets a gatekeeper.

Feels like the next one could be an AI agent that sits between you and everything you read. Apps were never the product. They were the container.

@KimmoOrb, our Head of Product at Lens & Orb, shares his take on what comes after big social on the @nym community call👇

[Mask Network (mask.io) @masknetwork]

Every esports group chat has one friend who's never wrong.

And prediction markets finally make them show receipts.

Send this to yours👀
