⚡️💬 NEW - Jonathan Zittrain says we're sleepwalking into a WALL-E future.

“I worry that the more agentic we make the systems, the less agentic we become.”

His solution: Design AI that asks about second-order preferences. Not just what you want, but what you want to want.

We need AI that helps us become who we want to be, not just who we are.

After it’s « free » but I would be curious to know your tastes

⚡️💬 END OF SERVICE - Day 203.

I hope I've added some value to Nostr, which represents the eye of the storm.

Outside, it's chaos: constant noise, censorship, propaganda and loss of meaning.

Here, in the center, everything is clearer. We breathe. We think. We build.

I may be just one voice among many, but I keep going - and holding my line, day after day.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - Senator Bill Hagerty confirms the House will vote on the GENIUS Act "this afternoon"

⚡️🇮🇱 NEW - Israel’s PM Netanyahu vows to never allow the militarization of Southern Syria:

“I want to update you on what we have done in Syria—and what we will do in Syria.

We established a clear policy: the demilitarization of the area south of Damascus—from the Golan to the Druze Mountain region. That’s the first line. The second line—protecting the brothers of our brothers, the Druze in Jabal al-Druze.

Both of these red lines were violated by the regime in Damascus. They sent troops south of Damascus, into the area that was supposed to remain demilitarized, and began massacring Druze. This was something we could not accept under any circumstances.

So I instructed the IDF to act—and to act forcefully. The Air Force struck both the death squads and armored vehicles. I added another target: to strike Syria’s Ministry of Defense in Damascus.

As a result of this powerful action, a ceasefire was reached, and Syrian forces retreated back to Damascus. This is important.

It was a ceasefire achieved through strength—not by requests or pleas, but through strength. We achieve peace through strength, calm through strength, security through strength—on seven fronts.

This will remain our policy: we will not allow military forces to move south of Damascus, and we will not allow harm to come to the Druze in Jabal al-Druze”

⚡️🚨 NEW - Alena Vranova, co-founder of Trezor, launches GLOK, a new service to protect Bitcoiners from physical kidnapping and extortion.

It's only June 2025 and yet there are already more crypto kidnappings than in 2024.

And these criminals aren't just after crypto millionaires, 0.2 BTC can be enough to make you a target.

"Around 18 million cryptocurrency owner identities, including 2.2 million with personal addresses, are circulating on the darknet, largely due to data leaks from exchange platforms such as Gemini and Coinbase. It is estimated that between 700 million and 1 billion cryptocurrency owners worldwide, 70-80% of them have performed a KYC check"

says Vranova.

GLOK offers:

🔹 A private geolocation app with emergency alerts.

🔹 Anti-kidnapping training by professionals

🔹 A step-by-step guide to securing your life, not just your private keys.

⚡️💬 "Bitcoin is worthless. It's backed by nothing."

This is the magic objection of those who missed the train in 2013, in 2017, in 2020... and still today in 2025.

And yet, this phrase betrays a profound misunderstanding of what value is.

First of all, what is "intrinsic value"?

Let's take a $100 banknote. It's made of paper. Literally. Does its value come from its physical composition? Obviously not.

It's only worth $100 because everyone agrees it is.

The truth is that value is a social construct. It is never "intrinsic". It is subjective, contextual, conventional.

What about Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is not "backed by nothing". It's backed by a technology, a protocol, an immutable promise:

✅ A limited supply of 21 million units,

✅ A decentralized global network,

✅ Resistance to censorship,

✅ Unrivalled network security,

✅ Absolute neutrality.

That's what you buy. And obviously, more and more people are seeing value in it.

Those who say "it'll go to zero" forget one thing: Bitcoin's value isn't what it is, it's what it enables.

It enables people to get out of the inflationary monetary system. It enables individuals to preserve and protect their savings. It enables entrepreneurs to hold a sovereign, incorruptible asset.

Bitcoin is backed by an idea whose time has come.

When asked why a compost heap is like an atom bomb? GPT-4 pointed to chain reactions, which showed it understood abstract links

"it saw the analogy during training, not test time"

So, they're seeing analogies to compress knowledge, like humans do

⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - The French political party "Rassemblement National" has tabled a bill to authorize, for a period of 5 years, the use of surplus electricity production for Bitcoin mining.

"The development of this activity in France would enable us to maintain our nuclear power plants at constant power while generating significant revenues. According to the Association pour le développement des actifs numériques (Adan), dedicating even one gigawatt of power to this activity would generate $100 to $150 million in annual revenues. This windfall could help cover the fixed costs of the current nuclear fleet and finance investments in our future power plants. It is therefore a lever for reducing the massive taxes currently levied on French electricity, which are a major brake on the essential reindustrialization of our country."
