Four days after Musk stripped Grok’s “woke filters” the bot praised Hitler as the solution for “anti-white hate.” The salient question: QA slip or further evidence of architectural bias used to turn an LLM into a platform-native propaganda engine?

Happy Independence Day from the birthplace of the American republic. Liberty endures only when power honors the equal unalienable rights of every person, authority submits to law, and government draws power from consent. Forsaking these principles betrays our founding ideals.

1/ The crypto industry needs to wake up to its biggest blind spot: signing security. Most crypto losses involve private key management and blind signing. If experts get hacked regularly, what hope is there for mass adoption? We need better tools.

Just reported this account on @warpcast today which made me wonder -with the different Farcaster front-ends available, has there been any work done between them on collaborative opt-in moderation standards to help better stop account impersonators and other prolific scams we see on other platforms?

The significance of a massive publicly traded company moving operations onto an Ethereum L2 cannot be overstated. 🔥
1/ Going forward, Coinbase will be storing more corporate and customer USDC balances on Base. This enables us to manage and secure assets with lower fees and faster settlement, with no impact to the user experience. We're excited to continue to move our business onchain, and hope other companies follow our lead!

A path toward favoring solo stakers over LST providers and industrial staking options would be a massive boon for a more robust and decentralized Ethereum L1.
Are validators in the same cluster (eg same exchange, same user) more likely than unrelated validators to miss attestations at the same time? If so, can we tweak rewards to favor decentralized staking? Possibly yes. https://ethresear.ch/t/supporting-decentralized-staking-through-more-anti-correlation-incentives/19116

This report on auto industry data privacy is shocking even for a jaded skeptic. Just driving could provide consent to share your info with corporations and governments.🤯
