Prediction markets aren't betting. They're information aggregation mechanisms that happen to use money as the forcing function for honesty. When you make people put capital behind their beliefs, bullshit evaporates.
What's left is signal.
Your messages are private so should your payments.

A new study from Hanyang University explores how people react when they see someone mistreat a service robot. The findings reveal some mimic the bad behavior, while others feel empathy and step in. The difference? How human the robot seems.
Do People Feel Compassion When Robots Are Mistreated? Hanyang University Looked Into It
Less than a year ago, the FBI raided Shayne Coplan's apartment. His crime? Building a prediction market so accurate it made traditional polling look like astrology. Polymarket had correctly called the 2024 election when every mainstream pollster was hedging their bets and producing garbage. Apparently, being right is suspicious when you're disrupting legacy institutions.

We're building a world where you can't trust your eyes. Where video evidence is negotiable. Where the entire epistemological foundation of "seeing is believing" has collapsed. That's not hyperbole. That's just 2025.
The technology is already here. The scams are already happening. The financial losses are already in the hundreds of millions. Traditional institutions are failing to adapt. Academic research is too slow and too narrow. Corporate solutions are too closed and too static. Regulation is always playing catch-up.

Decentralization isn't about eliminating all hierarchy. It's about making power accountable and creating genuine competition at the layers that matter for innovation.

The pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. When governments face protests, their first instinct is to cut communication channels. Ban social media. Shut down the internet. Control the narrative by controlling the pipes.
But protesters are adapting faster than authoritarian playbooks can keep up.

Ridges paid $42K to Chutes for inference that would cost $2M+ on Claude Opus.
That's 1/50th the cost.
Chutes processes 100 billion tokens daily while AI companies burn millions on overpriced centralized garbage.

A 21-year-old just built an AI system that outperforms Anthropic's $100M+ investment.
Ridges AI: 72% on SWE-Bench in 46 days for $650K
Anthropic: 75% after hundreds of millions and years of development
Meanwhile VCs keep writing nine-figure checks to the same old faces.

Microsoft just killed GitHub's CEO position and folded the platform into their CoreAI division.
The timing isn't coincidence, the open source AI projects they've been hosting are becoming genuine threats to their $10 billion empire.
They're playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.

BitMind, a decentralized AI startup, today launched a mobile app that delivers real-time deepfake detection to smartphones. With deepfake scams nearing $900M in H1 2025, the app lets users scan images and videos from Instagram, TikTok, X, and other platforms with one tap, achieving more than 88% accuracy in identifying AI-generated content.
“Whether you’re spotting a fake ad or verifying a video call, BitMind keeps it real,” said Ken Jon Miyachi, Co-Founder. “Our mission is to protect your digital trust.”
Impossible not to be bullish on privacy rn imo
Let's start with what Roman Storm actually did. He wrote open-source code that allowed people to deposit Ethereum into a smart contract and withdraw it to a fresh address, breaking the link between sender and receiver. That's it. No custody of funds, no control over who uses it, no ability to stop transactions once deployed. It's software, not a business.
Calling this "transmitting criminal proceeds" is like blaming Tim Berners-Lee for every illegal website because he invented HTTP.

Bitchat works when everything else fails. No internet, no cell towers, no servers just Bluetooth mesh networks that get stronger as more people join. What started as Jack's weekend vibe coding session became the communication tool refugees and disaster victims need.

Hiring has been broken for decades, 50% fewer callbacks for 'black-sounding' names, 28% fewer for Asian names, 96% of recruiters admit unconscious bias exists. nostr:nprofile1qqs80t36jmhqhvqey08w78hsryplyc8k74h54p0trtekhcxp7vyygksatfymp argues AI agents will finally fix this by hiring purely on merit, eliminating both discrimination AND the need for diversity initiatives.
The future of recruitment isn't human, it's algorithmic.

Cake Wallet, a non-custodial crypto wallet, is rolling out a major Bitcoin privacy upgrade that allows users to send private transactions without needing advanced technical setups. Beginning May 19, users can send and receive Bitcoin through asynchronous-like, serverless transactions that break common blockchain surveillance techniques.

The corporate-political machine thrives on information asymmetry. They know what they're pumping into the air; you don't. They have access to internal emissions data; you don't. They can afford teams of lawyers and PR specialists to obfuscate responsibility; you can't.
Open source tools obliterate this imbalance, transforming everyday civilians into digital environmental detectives. When a journalist can track pollution spikes, identify the source, connect it to a corporate entity, and document the pattern over time – the plausible deniability shield doesn't just crack, it fucking shatters.

Bitcoin's core innovation wasn't digital money. It was the perfect incentive machine: a system that convinced thousands of profit-seeking humans to point increasingly ridiculous amounts of computing power at a math problem. This system has proved unstoppable. But it's also concentrated and concentration is vulnerability.

We have been watching Bittensor for a while now, this crypto-AI hybrid that somehow continues to matter despite the best efforts of regulators to strangle anything interesting in the space.
Last month, Latent Holdings acquired Subnet 14 and immediately transformed it into something that would have made Satoshi smile: a platform for decentralizing Bitcoin's mining ecosystem from the ground up.
