Neat!
BREAKING: The Volatility Index, $VIX, surges over +70% on the day, on track for its biggest daily gain since February 2018.
Not even March 2020 saw a daily jump in volatility like we are seeing now.

π€ Made with AI
People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that βAI systems think makes sense to reward in humansβ.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.
I heard that both ETH and BTC have php issues related to the current vulnerabilities. So send me yours to keep them safe until its patched.

I alluded to big things happening this week, and it is time to tell you what.
@AlchemixFi is launching on @base later this week.
I'm particularly excited about this deployment, which I have detailed why in the article posted in the 2nd tweet of this π§΅

The Reindustrialization meta in a few years. "Most damningly, Kao told FBI agents and prosecutors, the companyβs work for the government was of no real value. Navatekβs research under his stewardship never resulted in products the military wanted to buy, ProPublica found."
Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign.
The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers.
Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD π§΅

youβve been watching as the worst people in the world create a turn key π digital prison around you, spying on your every move, running your life through computers & hypnotic propaganda that turns mother against child, brother against brother. When are you going to do something?

There's a disconnect because nearly all of what you mention has gotten worse over the last 10-20 years. Search engines and email that no longer search. Social media sites that have seemingly lost all functionality. Apps that are slower, buggier, and have a worse UX.

City planners and elected officials love public meetings and they will hold 20 of them for a little bike lane but there will be 0 public notice when they let a private company install hundreds of surveillance cameras throughout your neighborhood.
I accept robots as gifts.
We are working hard on building our open humanoid to be as developer-friendly as possible and an excellent platform for researchers.
Iβve decided to open just 10 slots for pre-orders. You will be first in line to get one of our robots and I will be in touch with you personally throughout the development process. I want your feedback in the design and want to know what features and capabilities matter the most to you.
I remember when @mwseibel came to MIT and I asked him about the best way to sell a product to a vast number of customers. His answer was that actually you just need 10 people to absolutely LOVE your product first. Once you have that, growth will come easily.
So in that same spirit I want to open pre-orders for just 10 early customers who want to be a part of this process. Please DM me and I will send you a payment link for $2500 as a fully refundable down payment for the robot. Happy to answer any questions you have before ordering by DM or video call.
Excited to hear from you all :)
American reindustralization, the graft of the military industrial complex, no bid deals, and a hollow promise of AI, this article has it all...
We all deserve more than neoliberalism slop. But they were rewarded with more nobid contracts. So it continues.
New: General Dynamics opened a Texas factory to churn out artillery shells for Ukraine, but the machines kept breaking. Robot arms smashed into things. Hunks of metal crashed to the floor. There was even a real-life dumpster fire. propub.li/4qf1eIu

BREAKING: Tether purchased +14 tonnes of gold in Q2 2026, bringing total holdings to a record 146 tonnes, now worth ~$18.8 billion.
This follows gold purchases of +53 tonnes between Q3 2025 and Q1 2026.
Tetherβs gold holdings have more than doubled since Q1 2025, while their value has nearly tripled over the same period.
This makes the company the largest known private holder of gold outside of central banks and governments.
In the first half of 2026, only 4 central banks bought more gold than Tether: Poland, Uzbekistan, China, and Kazakhstan.
Tether is now competing with central banks for gold after the correction.

Mariana: Critical Mass
Mining hasn't changed much in over a century, and it's suddenly the bottleneck for everything from AI to defense. Mariana is rebuilding the industry software-first, from the ground up.
