Blink and it’s final: NEAR blocks are now 600ms, with 1.2 second finality. That’s 10x faster finality than Solana. 600x faster than ETH and L2s. Without the need for more expensive hardware. This is a major upgrade that truly sets a new performance standard for blockchains. Now

Naval was prescient, once again.

now may be the best time to build in crypto for the v simple reason that there's a lack of serious competition. i have maybe a dozen of good product ideas but struggle to find the right teams to build them. meanwhile in ai for every half-decent idea there's >20 legit startups

Duolingo is my favorite example of a consumer app that was created pre-GenAI but will likely be one of the biggest benefactors of GenAI. The irony: what LLMs are to AI, Duolingo is to humans.

Ali Debow Waterloo grads are realizing their worth. UIUC is so so underrated (biased). Purdue is secretly good.

New York showed up for Virtuals Protocol. Together with Alchemy, we hosted an incredible afternoon on AI × crypto, from agent demos to real talk with builders and investors. Virgens build. NYC builds.

The quantum threat to crypto, especially $BTC, is accelerating. Google’s latest breakthrough means we have ~5 years to secure digital assets. Quantum-safe cryptography is now existential.

I asked Congress to bring AI home. Put data centers in houses, power them with rooftop solar, and accelerate decentralization. AI is the substrate of civilization. Its future must be built on freedom, transparency, and trust — not surveillance and control. This is how we push

If AI stays closed-source, proprietary and monopolistic like it is now, it will destroy lots of jobs and just make the richest companies richer and more powerful! If we open it up thanks to open science and open-source, foster competition and decentralization of value and

The eventual breakthroughs in decentralized AI will come from methods that look very different than our current approaches. Think multi-agent swarms learning continuously on edge data, not dense transformers in data centers.
