Have long admired Gazers by @MattKaneArtist
and very pleased to have acquired Gazer #271 for AB5D

This edition of 1000 was released in Dec 2021 and represents one of the important red-pill moments for me personally in understanding generative and cryptoart

it's a bit early, but i'm ready to call it:

the 2028 election will be between John Ossoff and Marco Rubio

John Ossoff will win and become the 49th POTUS of the US

JD Vance will have been the 48th

@bergspyder_eth @chameleon_jeff oh, sorry

[Kieran Elvborg @punk9962]

a lot of people today would be better off if Jean Luc Picard was their role model

rather than Andrew Tate, Clav, etc.

an entire generation led down the wrong path which leads to an obvious dead end

[The Man with the Getaway Ass @CRegnant]

Something I've been having trouble articulating is that Picard is an ideal masculine figure. He is wise and kind and understanding but when push comes to shove he makes it clear that he will engage in violence and he's gonna be fuckin good at it

So impressive

The Binance hacker may have exposed one of the biggest weaknesses in stablecoin security.

Tether reportedly froze $1.5 billion in USDT. Circle froze another $800 million in USDC. On paper, billions in stolen funds were stopped.

But the attacker allegedly found another way out.

Instead of moving the stablecoins directly, they used USDT as collateral on Aave and borrowed ETH against it.

The difference is critical. USDT can be frozen by its issuer. Native ETH cannot.

That raises a much bigger question. What happens when frozen collateral has already been used to borrow assets that cannot be frozen?

The real vulnerability may lie in the gap between centralized stablecoin controls and permissionless DeFi lending.

What if the next major breakthrough in AI isn't about intelligence itself, but proving that intelligence can be trusted?

@sachi_morikawa sits down with DC Builder (@dcbuilder) to explore the emerging frontier of zero-knowledge machine learning (ZKML) and its potential to transform how AI systems are verified and trusted.

They discuss DC’s role in developing the ZKML community, how cryptographic proofs can verify AI computations without repeating the entire process, and why this technology could become essential infrastructure for decentralized intelligence.

The conversation also highlights innovations from Modulus Labs, Giza, and EZKL, alongside emerging research into proof of inference and scalable AI verification.

A deep dive into the convergence of cryptography and artificial intelligence, and the technologies bringing verifiability, accountability, and trust to the next generation of AI.

In Web3, your reputation isn't defined by your background, but by the ideas you share and the things you build.

@kenzi_morikawa sits down with DC Builder (@dcbuilder) to explore the rise of pseudonymous identities in crypto and how an open, merit-driven culture is reshaping the way people establish credibility.

They discuss DC’s journey from the 2021 DeFi research community to becoming a builder, the inspiration behind his pseudonym, and how choosing a name can become a powerful commitment to personal growth.

A conversation on digital identity, reputation, and why Web3 creates opportunities for talent and ideas to stand on their own, beyond traditional credentials.

What makes Web3 one of the most dynamic and accessible environments for research and innovation?

@diksha_nanduri sits down with DC Builder (@dcbuilder) to explore the unique culture of crypto research, where open collaboration, public discussions, and direct access to protocol contributors are accelerating innovation.

They discuss how Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), community forums, and technical debates create an ecosystem where researchers can actively contribute to shaping decentralized infrastructure, regardless of institutional background.

A closer look at how open research, permissionless collaboration, and community-driven innovation are redefining the way breakthrough ideas emerge and evolve across Web3.

What if proving you're human becomes one of the most important foundations of the next generation of the internet?

This week, we sit down with DC Builder (@dcbuilder), Research Engineer at World Network (@worldnetwork), to explore the future of decentralized identity, digital privacy, and the infrastructure powering a more human-centric internet.

We discuss Worldcoin’s vision for global identity and financial inclusion, the challenges of verifying personhood at scale, and how zero-knowledge technology, Semaphore, and privacy-preserving systems could redefine digital trust.

The conversation also dives into the emerging frontier of ZKML, the convergence of AI and crypto, and the growing role of verifiable intelligence in decentralized ecosystems.

A deep dive into the technologies shaping a future where identity, privacy, and trust can coexist in the digital world.

From studying central banking to mining Ethereum in an MIT dorm room — an unexpected entry into the world of crypto.

@kenzi_morikawa sits down with Anna Kazlauskas (@annakaz), Founder of @Vana, to explore the early experiences that shaped her journey into blockchain and decentralized technology.

Anna reflects on her fascination with monetary policy, discovering MIT’s early Bitcoin community, and how exposure to a new generation of decentralized systems transformed her perspective on the future of finance.

A look back at the curiosity, unconventional ideas, and pivotal moments that sparked a journey from traditional economics into Web3.
