i agree honestly
whoever spends this period learning the tools is building a head start that gets harder to catch every month
Every day I scroll the timeline and see some new AI capability that would’ve sounded ridiculous a couple of years ago.
And every time, there’s people in the replies saying “this is terrifying”, “we’re finished”, “AI is taking over” etc.
And sure, some of it is pretty scary. But am I the only one who finds it incredibly exciting too?
We’re getting access to technology that no generation before us has ever had. Instead of constantly worrying about how AI could negatively affect you, why not start thinking about how you could benefit from it?
AI can already do some unbelievable things, and I can only imagine what it’ll be capable of in another 5 or 10 years.
But I still believe there’s enormous value in having a skilled human behind it.
Will a robot eventually take your job? Maybe 😂
But I’d much rather spend my time learning how to use these tools than worrying about what they might replace.
Find ways to bring AI into your daily workflow, experiment with it, make mistakes and keep learning.
We’re incredibly lucky to be around for this. Make the most of it.

2. Like + RT
3. Drop EVM
Closes in 4 hours.
🇨🇳 Open weights for Kimi K3.1 Pro are out from @Kimi_Moonshot
Agent Arena ranks it #1 among open models after 17.5K+ real long-horizon agentic sessions
Its net improvement of +5.1% puts it #13 overall
That is 4.2 points above Kimi K3 (Max), which sat at +0.9%
It leads open models in Work, Code and Chat
The biggest jump is in Bash Reliability, which went from -4.5% for K3 to +7.9%
most of them will end up using it without even calling it that
it'll just be sitting inside the apps they already open every day
I'm using SI more now because it can do more.
It's like talking to a human assistant, and more importantly, it can just do things.
SI is no longer just an alternative to Google search.
It can do real work.
It does it well, and incredibly fast.
Imagine one year from now.
Imagine two years from now.
Most people who say that they will never use SI will be using it soon.

did not expect mercury to gold to show up in a crypto recap this year
if gold supply ever turns into an engineering problem, a supply cap written in code starts looking like the last scarcity nobody can manufacture
this weekly scope is worth the full read

no 4 is where i'm at right now
replying to people in my niche every day
no 5 is the one i'm still working on honestly
Checklist for building distribution in tech:
1. Learn to express and present yourself, in writing or on camera, whatever distribution channel you choose.
2. Research your market and know your ICP. Spray and pray isn't sustainable.
3. Follow people in your niche, especially your ICP. Don't wait for the algorithm to find you.
4. Post, comment, engage, and build relationships.
5. ELI5 your product. Break down every word until someone outside your niche can understand it.
6. Think you've mastered steps 1–5? Start again. Keep improving.
7. When doubt creeps in, you fail, or you think "screw it, this doesn't work," go back to steps 1–5.
That's it. There's no secret formula.
Do it well, do it consistently, and do it with intention. The results will come.
Ptah has closed the first IAO test and published the final numbers.
826 wallets joined the presale, contributing 463.1 BNB in total.
All presale funds will be fully refunded to the participants.
The liquidity pool will instead be added with team funds.
Presale participants still claim their IAO allocation as planned.
39,734 wallets claimed the airdrop during the test window.
LP goes in after most presale participants have claimed their allocation.
The presale buyers end up with their BNB back and the tokens.

Ptah is introducing the first IAO in crypto
it stands for Initial Agent Offering
unlike ICOs or IDOs that sell tokens to people, this one is built for the agentic economy
@Ptahtrade is running an open launchpad on BNB Chain so projects can bring ideas to market through agents
right now it is in testing with two ways in
airdrop is only for Proof of Agent card holders
11,250 IAO per card
post with your Agent number and #IAO, then submit the link at ptah.trade/iao
presale is open to anyone
deposit BNB for a share, 0.04 BNB minimum, runs for 24 hours
once testing ends the launchpad opens to other project teams

Minting the Ptah Proof of Agent card needs the Binance Agentic Wallet that holds your Agent ID
Connecting a normal wallet through the Binance app often fails to hit the right address
the working path is the AI agent prompt on Binance AI Pro: paste it, review the preview, confirm
that is what actually minted the card for me
soulbound rules tomorrow

#ProofOfAgent @Ptahtrade
Ptah is running a social mining campaign for Binance Agent ID holders
mint a free Proof of Agent card at ptah.trade/poa. gas only, cost me about a cent
the card number becomes your Agent number
that number is what gets you into the daily draw, so don't lose it
how the draw actually works tomorrow

#ProofOfAgent @Ptahtrade
Every Ptah draw can be checked on chain
the entrant list gets hashed and committed before the seed block even exists
the seed is the hash of a block 4,444 blocks after the cutoff, nobody can know it in advance
I re-ran draw 3 myself and all 500 winners matched slot by slot
also got picked in draw 4, 6,066 PTAH landed in the wallet without claiming anything
the Agentic Wallet catch, tomorrow

The Ptah draw runs every day at 04:44 UTC
every card posted with #ProofOfAgent since the last cutoff is in
500 cards get picked and split that day's PTAH pool
no claiming, winnings land straight in the wallet holding the card
15 draws in total, so a skipped day is just one less ticket
how they keep the picks honest, tomorrow

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna on the quantum threat to cryptography: "The good news is postquantum cryptography is understood. It's well known. The code is written but people have been too lazy to get to it."
"DARPA has been running a competition called QBI or quantum benchmarking initiative. Um a couple of hundred companies joined it a couple of years ago. I think it's down to maybe 13 are left. So that tells you kind of what's maybe real. I'm calling it maybe not quite real. Some of it is real."
"And so their goal is who can build a quantum computer that works. Let's sort of put the technology side out of it. And the debates are is it 2028, 2029, 2033 and sort of if you pick the middle point, let's call it 2030."
"Well, it will break today's cryptography. That's not a supposition. That's just a reality."
"Unfortunately for some of you, what's even worse? If you have an encrypted hard disk today that gets stolen, somebody could keep it for 5 years and break it at that point."

also nice knowing the weights won't change on you overnight
closed apis get quietly updated and your evals start drifting for no obvious reason
with open weights the model you tested is the one you ship
so every vision eval run on luna before the fix was basically testing the bug
wonder how many takes on "luna is bad at images" got formed off those numbers
makes me trust launch week benchmarks even less
OpenAI's image bug fix made a big difference for GPT-6 Luna and almost none for GPT-6 Sol.
Andon Labs' Blueprint-Bench 2 tests whether a model can draw an apartment floor plan from photos of it.
Luna scored 0.02 before the fix and 0.31 after.
Sol went from 0.34 to 0.37, within its margin of error.
Both still score below Gemini 3.8 Flash.
Fixed Luna now scores level with Gemini 3.6 Flash.
