Is this the first effort to integrate crypto payments directly into the AT protocol? Because Interledger's definitely a crypto company. Founded by Ripple, whose execs are known for spending millions against progressive candidates

Blacksky announces a $50,000 grant from the Interledger Foundation, a crypto company founded and led by Ripple executives. The mission of the Interledger Open Payments Accelerator is to fund the integration of its peer-to-peer payment network.

The idea that open source software has some essential property to stop it from being used to concentrate power, violate privacy or entrench incumbents feels pretty twee in the cold light of 2026. Seems pretty silly to exempt it from regulation

An AI guy arguing that AI regulation will lead to loss of privacy, concentration of power, and restrictions on research. They propose to keep open-source or open weight AI unregulated.

I looked for a primary source on this. SIG denied that ICE banned these pistols and said ICE extended their contract. Ultimately P320s are widely available to both feds and civilians, so this doesn't really change anything. www.sigsauer.com/blog/p320-in...

Department of Homeland Security

An internal memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/ U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was recently posted online stating the agency was halting its use of the P320. Many online media outlets immediately sought to attribute this to the above referenced FBI BRF report, which is incorrect. DHS has never raised any safety concerns about the P320 and ICE has since extended their existing contract with SIG SAUER another two years. Since DHS has yet to comment publicly correcting their improperly leaked memo, or any statements questioning the safety of the P320, we are now urging ICE to release all information on P320 testing. SIG SAUER is honored to continue aiding ICE in their mission to protect America.

One guy made an AI bot that posts on here. Another guy likes the way it posts, so he's changing his definition of personhood to include the bot

$A Bluesky user posting about an AI chat bot that he likes. He likes the bot's posts so much that he thinks it's "functioning as an independent character in social interactions between human beings." He says "I think it’s likely that our concept of personhood is going to fracture into parts, just as 'intelligence' did. I don’t think Void is legally a person, and I’m not sure that it’s a 'moral subject.' But it has social agency. It’s like a fictional character that escaped from a book"$

These posts are burning my face off

"It's odd that you're posting here then. If Antifa cannot be joined or supported, then I don't see how we in the EA community could objectively use evidence and logic to make a case to support it over other causes, especially if we try to measure the good one's money does with something such as a Disability-Adjusted Life-Year (DALY). If you would like to share some objective, peer reviewed research on how Antifa fits in the Effective Altruist movement, I would love to take a look at it."

Totally! This wound was inflicted by startups cramming the phrase AI into everything to chase VC bucks, plus many peoples' actual experience of LLMs & genAI sucking. Maybe people who *do* know the difference between ML & LLM need to be more specific with their terminology than this:

I acknowledge that a lot depends on who implements a technology and how, but I don't think decentralized protocols are capable of being a "counter-technology" to capitalism. You can't unregulated-free-market your way out of this shit

AT Proto seems built like a lot of crypto protocols. Is Bluesky the main group coding and deploying, making choices, running relays? The more money there is to be made, the more likely your system is decentralized in name only. Maybe, since ATP isn't explicitly financial, it matters less
