Centralized AI just learned a hard lesson.
US government issues export control order, basically forced Anthropic to shut down access to its most advanced models worldwide overnight. Not just for foreigners - for everyone.
This is only the beginning. As models approach AGI, expect more government overreach on "national security" grounds.
Pocket Network ($POKT) + Shannon protocol changes the game. Decentralized infrastructure for running powerful open-weight models. No single company or government can flip the switch and take it away from you.
True AI sovereignty isn't asking permission. It's building systems they can't shut down.
Day 1 of a new era.
When your extension to use a decentralized validator network is immediately agreed with on the Ethereum Magicians forum, you know you're doing something right. The future of autonomous agents runs on @POKTnetwork

What does it mean to build full stack decentralized apps? It means your "defi" app doesn't crash when AWS goes down. Again. Come hang out and talk web3 dev with us tomorrow!

THE SHANNON UPGRADE PROCESS HAS BEGUN
Please follow this thread for updates as they occur.
The wPOKT bridge is now paused for 24 hours. Any POKT on the multichain will remain there until after the upgrade, and then can be bridged back to a Shannon compatible wallet.
Happy Friday everyone. It's been a busy week! 👷♂️
