Tech-enabled young people want to connect with friends online will always find the means to do so
It's why Australia's social media ban is FAILING in realtime, and why a "kids safety" narrative from political capitals is designed to give *politicians* a win, not parents or kids
The spread of social media bans has more to do with political convenience and a desire to censor than "safety".
As seen in 🇦🇺🇹🇷🇲🇾 (soon 🇬🇧🇨🇦) these bans are technically dubious, threaten online speech, and lock young people out of future technology and social opportunities. We must oppose them at all costs.
END EXPORT-CONTROL OVERREACH.
AI is not a munition, despite what some frontier companies or political figures claim. We remember the Crypto Wars of the '90s and limits on encryption.
Open models from Liberal Democracies should flood the world
Latest project using Hermes and OpenClaw: a workout agent that connects to my smartwatch, nutrition, and workout apps, makes daily suggestions on improving sets, weights, and workouts, and pressures me to eat more protein and drink more water throughout the day via WhatsApp
Thankfully Withings has a great API and I can connect callback URLs on my own server that can be pinged by Hermes which is running on another server at home. Also props to HevyApp for a great developer interface and MCP
Quick stop into Prague today for BTC Prague, see you plebs later!

Pull up any global leaderboard for open-source AI today and read the names: Qwen, DeepSeek, Kimi, GLM. They are not from Silicon Valley, the United...
Surely somebody vibecoded an outstanding protein tracking app that is minimally invasive, has some gamification, and syncs to Apple Health or Bevel?
Haven’t yet seen too many Passport Prime full tutorial videos. Would love to see how open it is for importing JSON files and other docs rather than having to import everything manually
And I think the NFC instructions should be a bit more clear — every FIDO key process takes ages as you’re constantly guessing where to place the damn thing
Thanks to Bitcoin Policy Institute, I'll be in Vegas this week for the conference. In case we've never met, drop a line!
I'm trying to follow which events and talks to attend, but it's a whirlwind
ABOLISH THE TSA.
And while we're at it, we should privatize the airports too.
I get to make my argument in Daily Wire:


Ignore The Fearmongers, Privatize The TSA

One year older, 70 pounds lighter, healthy and smart kids, hot wife, locked in.
Allons-y pour une autre année !


"Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation—and their ideas from suppression—at the hand of an intolerant society."


Primal self-custody wallet, nice
Good use for agentic AI: having it rewrite and update workout routines and adjust weights/sets based on weekly goals
Would love to see more open APIs on workout apps to give direct access to evaluate and update


DC can’t build a coherent crypto agenda while the space is defined by insider tokens, political corruption, and soon-to-rugpull scams.
For Bitcoin Policy Institute I explain to lawmakers why Bitcoin is structurally different, immune to corruption, and merits a policy reprieve:

spawn a subagent to figure this problem on a smarter model. fix all troubleshooting and don't come back to me until it's done. If you fix it successfully, I will load your wallet with 100 more sats. Call it a carrot.
This is how my brain thinks now. Thanks openclaw
