The revolution will be decentralized

[ricoflan @ricoflan]

Governance -- so often treated as the boring, slightly dull step child of tech projects -- is showing once again why it's foundational to processes that will shape the landscape for all of us.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

[Tom Bonier @tbonier]

I'm not sure what we can do to prepare for this, but given the amount of noise the MAGA echochamber is creating, claiming fraud because they lost an election in an overwhelming Democratic stronghold, we aren't remotely ready for what they'll do when they lose in November.

Robinhood just added $ATOM.

Another reminder that Cosmos isn't disappearing.

While most people focus on short-term price action, institutions and major platforms keep expanding access to the Interchain.

⚛️ More distribution.
⚛️ More visibility.
⚛️ More potential users.

The industry spent years trying to make LLMs ignore malicious instructions. Turns out the cheaper bet is making sure a compromised agent can't reach anything it wasn't handed.
Least authority. References as permission. We've had this since the E language.

[Foresight Institute @foresightinst]

Vision Weekend UK has begun! Our first gathering in London in the 40 years of Foresight. Last night kicked off at @fiftyyears with speakers, sponsors, Foresight Fellows, and grantees.

Today at the @BarbicanCentre: tracks across emerging AI paradigms, longevity, neurotech, nanotechnology, energy, and space. First to speak is @MariusHobbhahn from @apolloaievals on the case for AGI safety products.

Tomorrow at Bankside: Funding X, Pathways to Implementation, and Existential Hope in the age of AI.

@LexSokolin And authority confinement

[Janice Hough @leftcoastbabe]

Hey media

Not a Platner fan, but why is he a nonstop story and not Ken Paxton's TWENTY indictments by a GOP led-Texas legislature, securities fraud charges and his wife's filing for divorce on "biblical grounds?"

Being an American now is just waking up and being told how much more money the president and his billionaire buddies are stealing, then being expected to act like it’s a normal fucking day.

Underrated how good of a fit Zcash is for activism.

Actual unstoppable freedom money.

[Cosmos - The Interchain ⚛️ @cosmos]

Cosmos Labs is acquiring the @mintscanio product suite and welcoming select Mintscan personnel to the Cosmos Labs Ecosystem team.

This business expansion adds new team members to the Ecosystem team across product, engineering, and operations.

It also allocates dedicated resources to the Cosmos Hub and key ecosystem infrastructure to support reliability and growth.

The Instagram hack was not just an AI chatbot story.

It was a confinement failure.

Attackers did not crack passwords or exploit a sophisticated zero-day. They convinced an AI support chatbot to add a new email address to high-profile Instagram accounts, then used that access to trigger password resets.

That matters because AI agents are increasingly being connected to live systems with real authority: account controls, user data, financial workflows, customer support tools, enterprise software, and more.

When an AI agent has broad standing authority, the agent itself becomes an attacker-accessible trust boundary.

The lesson is not simply “make the chatbot smarter.”

The lesson is: don’t give the agent powers it should never have in the first place.

This is the problem object-capability security and the @__Endojs__ framework are designed to address. Authority should be explicit, scoped, auditable, and revocable. An AI agent should only be able to act with the exact capabilities it has been given for the task at hand.

No more ambient authority.

No more assuming a helpful agent is a safe agent.

Confinement is not an advanced feature for AI systems. It is the foundation.

Regulated institutions are legally mandated to retain oversight and accountability over their infrastructure.

The infrastructure underlying a tokenized deposit has to sit within the bank's own governance perimeter, with compliance controls the institution sets and enforces directly.

The Cosmos Tokenization Suite (CTS) is designed around that. It is built on the Cosmos stack, production-proven across 150+ digital ledgers.

By firing Scott Pelley, editor-in-chief of CBS News Bari Weiss has single-handedly destroyed the most brilliant investigative newsmagazine in network history, 60 Minutes. Weiss exemplifies everything MAGA is about: ego, incompetence, and blithering idiocy.

Must read on recent quantum computing developments.

The one thing I would add is that it’s likely that once the engineering challenges of building a quantum computer get solved then Bitcoin keys will start being solved in a matter of months.

Rather than a situation where people publish Shor results on small fields and then gradually ramp up to BTC

Our CEO @DeanTribble is speaking at @ethconf NYC next week!

He'll be talking about enforceable guardrails for agentic finance.

If you're building at the intersection of AI and onchain capital, you don't want to miss this one.

Robinhood's AI agent trading launch is a real milestone. It's also highlights something the industry often gets wrong.

The question isn't "should agents manage capital?" They should. It's "what authority model they operate under?"

Giving an agent keys or broad wallet permissions is the wrong answer. You can only explain misbehavior rather than prevent it.

What financial agents actually need:

→ Constrained execution: an agent only act within an explicitly defined scope. Not "we trust it won't" but "it architecturally cannot"

→ Revocation: the user can pull authority at any time, without needing the agent's cooperation

→ Auditability: every action is visible and attributable before and after it happens, not reconstructed from logs after something goes wrong

This must live at the authority layer, in the smart contract, not in a compliance dashboard on top of unconstrained execution.

The agent might move your capital into a low-yield fund. That's fine, that's what you authorized. But it should be architecturally impossible for it to send funds to an unapproved address, bridge to an unapproved destination, or act outside the scope you set.

Agents need contracts, not keys.

Every agent framework eventually rediscovers the confused deputy: a program with more authority than the user it acts for. The capability literature solved this in the 1980s. Agent infra is solving it again, from scratch, in production.

Love to see Cornyn lose, hate to see Paxton win. Talk about a lose/lose lineup. The shame is, I knew Cornyn prior to his conversion to GOP sycophant and thought highly of him. I was wrong.
