The arrest of @Durov is an assault on the basic human rights of speech and association. I am surprised and deeply saddened that Macron has descended to the level of taking hostages as a means for gaining access to private communications. It lowers not only France, but the world.

French President Emmanuel Macron says the government was not involved in the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov and “this is in no way a political decision”

America lost something important today, and hardly anyone heard. The headlines of state-aligned media screech and crow about the nefarious designs of your fellow citizens and the necessity of foreign wars without end, but find few words for a crime against the Constitution.

This doesn't bother me. If the SEC keeps acting in bad faith like this, they're going to lose so hard in court that they'll never be able to do this to anyone ever again. Remember when the SEC got spanked so badly that Gensler had to approve BTC ETFs with tears in his eyes? yeah

Hugely disappointing to see @stabilityai hyping “AI Safety”—poisoned, intentionally-faulty models—for SD3. Your entire brand arose from providing more open and capable models than the gimped corporate-ware competition. LEAN IN on “unrestrained and original,” not “craven follower”

Stability AI debuts a preview of Stable Diffusion 3.0, its next-gen flagship text-to-image model, aiming to offer improved image quality and better performance

Heartbreaking to see many brilliant minds working on AI so harried and henpecked by the aggressively ignorant crowd's agenda that they not only adopt the signs and sigils of the hostile illiterati—some actually begin to believe that their own work is “dangerous” and “wrong.”

Decentralized social network app Damus debuts on the App Store with E2EE for DMs; Damus uses the Nostr protocol, to which Jack Dorsey donated ~14 BTC in 2022

What is #nostr? Unlike the old social media “platforms” where the platform-owner (FB, Tiktok, Twitter) gets to decide who can speak—and what can be heard—#nostr is an open protocol. If a platform is a silo, a protocol is a river: no one owns it, and everyone is free to swim. https://t.co/NOW06ouJIw
