not only am i not worried about the crypto community's ability to handle the upcoming ai/quantum threat, i will venture to say that in the next 2 yrs the world will realize crypto is far better prepared for it than the rest of the internet and finance. we've had a trillion dollar *irreversible* honey pot for a decade, producing a far more battletested system and adversarial security culture than pretty much anywhere else on earth.

The solution to AI systems that can attack you is to build AI systems that can defend you. No strategy based on the idea that all AI systems can be made forever "friendly" or "aligned" can ever work, but defensive systems *can* work, just as they do in all the rest of our lives. You survive because of your biological immune system, the police, your country's military, the security teams worrying about the operating system and software you use, and dozens of other defense systems, small and big. You don't even notice that you're in the midst of a constant struggle to keep out infectious bacteria, criminals, and the like, because the defense systems work so well that society can mostly just ignore them and let them do their work. AI is no different. The dream that we would build one big AI system, that it would somehow be "aligned", and that we would all live in some sort of utopia forever after was never going to work. Utopia is not an option. But, if we aren't stupid about how we do things, we can be pretty happy and safe, even without utopia.

The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations: We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy. These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense. We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

The wait for institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure is over. Today, we’re launching Rayls Sovereign: rayls.com/products/sovereign A private blockchain that gives each financial institution its own sovereign ledger. It runs inside the institution’s own perimeter, integrates with existing banking and treasury systems, and connects to private networks and public liquidity. The underlying platform has been in production since June 2024, with 30+ financial institutions installing and using it across tokenised deposits, stablecoins, tokenised assets, and regulated settlement.
