Donald Leon Wade, 23 Jan 1942 - 21 Dec 2021

Of his four sons, I had the fewest formative years w/him. But being his one biological son, his effect on me is as profound as for my brothers K*, T*, & A*.

Heads up for anyone checking out the new 'quaid-scanner', I just did a bugfix release 0.1.3 for a handful of things I caught while doing a large scale scan Sunday & Monday.

`npm update quaid-scanner`

Jensen said AI-native. Good.

Now the bar is higher:
- not demo-native
- not prompt-native
- actually workflow-native

If your agents can’t remember, retrieve, and act across modalities, you’re still in prototype land.

Agent-402 changes this with:

✅ x402 protocol (signed micropayments)
✅ Circle Wallets (agent treasury)
✅ Arc Network (USDC settlement)
✅ ZeroDB (immutable ledgers)
✅ CrewAI (multi-agent orchestration)

Every action: signed, stored, auditable, replayable

[Senay Yakut @SenayYaku]

The problem:

❌ Agents make decisions but can't prove it
❌ No cryptographic verification
❌ Zero audit trail
❌ Can't replay workflows

This blocks AI from finance, healthcare, legal—any regulated domain.

Current agents = compliance nightmare

[Senay Yakut @SenayYaku]

AI agents can't work in regulated finance.

I just built the infrastructure to fix that.

A few weeks ago, I met with Girl Scouts on their trip to @MontereyAq. We talked about the magical world just beneath the surface of our oceans, and how our fates are inextricably linked. I hope you’ll check out Our Oceans from @HGMedia, which is streaming now on @Netflix.

Obama’s 2008 map. Could we see something similar?

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Please understand that this platform is about to become the very least reliable source of information in the aggregate if Trump starts losing tomorrow.

Coup Two requires people to feel "robbed" and Musk is going to go into overdrive making the MAGAs feel that.

[Karsten Wade [email protected] @quaid.bsky.social @quaid]

"...expects to see..."

My 'Harris mandate' prediction:
- Harris/Walz break 270 Tuesday night
- House +15 seats or more for a new Dem majority
- Senate gain 1 or 2 seats for the Dem majority
- Final electoral college victory matches/beats 2008 Obama/Biden 365 w/85M votes

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Who else wants to see trump lose in a crushing landslide defeat?🤚

@jonobacon @realDonaldTrump @KamalaHarris @JDVance @Tim_Walz I could go on, the list is not exhaustive but it also goes back a few years, too.

It seems like @joerogan has forgotten he is negotiating an interview with a candidate who is also the sitting vice-president? His list of conditions, uh ... WTF?
