Ethereum is stuck in a coordination failure: everyone benefits from shared improvements but no single actor wants to pay when others can free-ride. This creates a persistent deadweight loss that weakens Ethereum’s long-term competitiveness. The proposal introduces 2 changes at the protocol-level to create a funding mechanism driven by validators, who configure % of staking rewards redirected to ecosystem funding: If a majority of validators agree to part with a share of their staking revenue,...

Two more people in Missouri and Washington state have been arrested in connection with what authorities say was a planned attack targeting U.S. President Donald Trump’s UFC cage-fighting show at the White House earlier this month. Read more ›
Two-year-old startup Mindbeam AI Inc. today released an open-source artificial intelligence inference framework designed to make large language models run more efficiently on standard consumer processors, a move the company says could reduce reliance on expensive graphics processing units for some AI workloads. Litespark-Inference is a software library that enables ternary large language models to run […] The post appeared first on <a rel="nofollow" href=" Read more ›

These are some things I’ve wandered across on the web this week. 🔖 The advent of a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) would render state-of-the-art, traditional public key algorithms deployed today obsolete, as the mathematical assumptions underpinning their security would no longer hold. To address this, protocols and infrastructure must transition to post-quantum algorithms, which are designed to resist both traditional and quantum attacks. This document explains why enginee...

If ‘risk \+ AI = risk — AI’, then ‘AI = 0’\. I’m on tour with my new book, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI \. Catch me i n LA TOMORROW \(Jun 19\) at Skylight Books , and on SUNDAY \(Jun 21\) at Kepler’s in Menlo Park \. After that, it’s Toronto , NYC , Philly and Chicago \. Back at the height of the blockchain bubble, I made a hobby of pointing out that crypto weirdos were palming a card\. I used this formulation: if: problem \+ blockchain = problem — blockchain then: blockchain ... Read more ›
This article is a summary of an original study: Brazilek, J., Navas, M., & Gnauck, A. (2026). Small edits, large models: How Wikipedia advocacy shapes LLM values. Zenodo.TL;DRWikipedia articles are weighted highly among LLM training data. Thus, we show that it’s possible for advocacy organisations to influence what LLMs say on certain topics, just by strategically editing Wikipedia articles. (PAW) is a group who add factual animal welfare content to relevant articles, and have so far made 125... Read more ›

IntroductionAn ambitious problem in mechanistic interpretability of neural networks is finding an input for a neural network that produces a certain output (), however this is shown to not have a general computationally tractable solution that works in cases such as when the network acts as a verifier for an NP hard problem. However, a general algorithm might not be necessary in practice, as "Eliciting bad contexts" suggests. We also know that finding the input that maximizes the output of an... Read more ›
Three days after Aztec Labs' deprecated Aztec Connect blockchain bridge was exploited for $2.1 million, the project has been hacked again for the same amount. Aztec Labs confirmed the second exploit, again trying to emphasize that the code was deprecated four years ago.The hacks are part of a spate of exploits targeting legacy smart contracts belonging to projects including Raydium and DxSale. Although some projects have developed techniques to circumvent the immutable nature of blockchains a... Read more ›
An essay written by Microsoft Principal Scientist Adrian de Wynter is going viral this week as it attempts to prove Age of Empires II is just as human-like as AI. It's just as wild a premise as it sounds, and I break down what it means for those who use (and research) AI. Read more ›

Researchers have developed a new "emotionally aware" AI-based model for classifying mental health conditions, which could help clinicians better diagnose patients' mental health conditions. The Emo-MHC model uses machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques to analyze text from sources like doctors' notes, social media posts and online forums to help doctors classify patients' mental health conditions more accurately and quickly than existing models, which could help provide more e...
