Vitalik Buterin expressed frustration with the AI field’s push toward overly “agentic” models, arguing that enabling more human input leads to better, safer outcomes. He said he’s more excited by open-weight models with strong editing capabilities than those built purely for creation. Looking ahead, he envisions a brain-computer interface that senses real-time feedback and adjusts outputs accordingly. 一 link

4b would be breakeven for presale buyers

important level and would prefer to revisit when its above after this move

in a bullish environment don’t worry too much about unlocks for strong alts

only applies to strong alts

most would know the term bullish unlocks

guess which celeb grifter came back to launch on zora this time

https://zora.co/@souljaboy

a lot of d-tier celebs will probably rerun the celeb meta we saw on sol earlier this cycle

they've already launched once on sol, so where else to grift this time?

for your own sake, don't participate and give money to these grifters

but there'll be a bunch of speculators playing it regardless

and it'll all run within the eco

the celeb meta was objectively bad, but it propped sol and fueled the casino the previous round

but you couldn't really benefit from the meta without getting burned

this time it flywheels the platform and you can just hold the proxy

but honestly? screw the celeb meta

• Uniswap Foundation proposes “Duna DAO” structure, clearing path for long-awaited fee switch - [AGGR]

market is waking up to base

if you've not read my piece earlier this month:
https://medium.com/@dpycm/base-camp-7370e0067e03

https://news.1rj.ru/str/cryptomumbles/15308

there is still money to be made on sol ofc, ik chads that are printing on things like tokabu and spark

i just prefer a comfier approach where i can just buy w size and sit comfortably

find where your edge is and play according to it

there are additional developments that aren't included in the piece such as

https://news.1rj.ru/str/cryptomumbles/15355 and soleth being the new ethbtc

reinforces the case as a whole

things i would like to see before considering going back to sol

- liquidity injection (pump airdrop?)
- down flows into sol from eth (soleth strong reversion) tho i would think that is the real tail end of the alt run
- somehow a strong pve runner on sol like GOAT/TRUMP where i have to blast

but if nothing changes, ETH is the strongest alt and will remain so until Tom Lee is done
