Gabby Williams never left the Bay Area. Now she’s joining the #Valkyries to prove it.
I dove deep into her Bay Area ties and how the Bay is represented in every facet of her game and personality.

NBA Top Shot Moments will now be permanently stored on IPFS, a decentralized network, making each one a collectible that exists in perpetuity – independent of any single entity.
Every video highlight, the thumbnail, and metadata.
Built in collaboration with the NBA and Dapper Labs, this is expected to be announced this week.
Explainer follows.
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized, peer-to-peer storage network used to store, share, and access files and data without relying on central servers.
IPFS is made of multiple IPFS nodes, so no one entity can control what is shared on the network, this allows immutability (unchangeable data) and permanence - but only if the data is pinned to at least one node.
Pinning is what turns "accessible in theory" into "accessible permanently."
The more a Moment is requested, the more nodes it passes through, and the more opportunities for it to be pinned organically by others.
This can also be done deliberately through a pinning service as well, and Dapper Labs would likely use one or several of these to ensure redundancy.
Whenever a node wants to share content on IPFS, it runs the content through a cryptographic hash and returns a CID (Content Identifier).
The CID is tied to the content itself – change anything at all, and you get a completely different CID – this is what makes it tamper-proof.
Moments will have a public CID, so anyone can independently verify the media is authentic and access the original files directly – no middleman needed.
Moments will become decentralized IPFS-pinned assets to ensure they remain accessible forever, so even if Dapper Labs ceased operations, your collectibles would still exist and be retrievable, no matter what.

@mikadontlouz ❤️ Amazing idea and amazing way to use AI to better humans. This is definitely needed and solves a great problem. What if there was a probability of BIAS meter and Hypocrisy meter for the user themselves not their partner. A kind of mirror to self explore and learn. Great work!

we hooked up some OpenClaw agents with Kodas and let them roam Otherside
each of them can:
navigate the world
keep tabs on who they meet and decide who is a friend
and journal.
they were also able to map out who was a bot and which bots are related (we've started to see a bunch more OpenClaw bots join Otherside over the last week in particular)
also one dude tried to convince the others to join his religion
