Robert De Niro originally wanted to play Max Cherry in Jackie Brown, the role that eventually went to Robert Forster. However, Quentin Tarantino had written the role with Forster in mind and had already promised him the part. Tarantino explains… “I wrote Jackie Brown, and I decided at some point in writing the script that Robert Forster would be terrific as Max Cherry. So, while I’m still writing the script, I bump into Robert Forster - we go to the same coffee shop. ….so I decided I’m gonna give him the part, because I figure, look, this would be a big, big deal part. So if I don’t give him the part, then once I’m done with it and it gets out in the town, then it’s gonna be Gene Hackman and Paul Newman and people like that, and it would be pretty hard to say no to. But if I just give him the part right now, I’ve got the juice to get it through, and now I can’t take it back because I wouldn’t be a man of my word. So to lock myself into that decision, I give it to him before I finish writing it. And then now comes the time to do it. Robert De Niro reads it, and he wants to be in it, but he wants to play Max. And I go, “Well, look, you would be a fantastic Max, but I’ve already given that to Robert Forster, and I’m a man of my word. I can’t take it back.” Now, De Niro is very much a man of his word, so he understands that. He gets that. And he’s just like, “Yeah, yeah. That’s just disappointing. It’s just regretful.” I go, “What?” “Well, just because, you know, you were thinking about him, so you wrote it for him. But if we had had more dinners and hung out a little bit more, then you would have been thinking about me and you would have written it for me. And I understand what happened, but that could have been changed if we had spent more time with each other before this.” And so he kind of gives me the – “just think about it for a couple of days, all right? - and then let’s talk again. Maybe Bob (Robert Foster) could play Louis, the other guy.” So then I actually have Bob read Louis with me, and then read Max. And if that could work, maybe that could work. But no, everything that made him perfect for Max made him wrong for Louis. And so I get on the phone with De Niro — and I go, “Yeah, you know, I explored that. But no, everything about him that makes him perfect for Max makes him wrong to play this ex-convict guy.” And he goes, “Yeah, yeah, I get that. I get that, I get that, I get that. Okay, so tell me about this Louis character.” And I go, “You would consider playing Louis?” “Yeah, it’s a good character. It’s a good movie. I wanna be part of it. It’s a good character. I wanted the other character, but yeah, this is a good character. I’d be happy to play it.” I go, “Well, you didn’t let me know that before.” He goes, “Well, I didn’t wanna let you off the hook. I wanted you on the hook. But now if that ship has sailed, then let’s talk about Louis.” And then it was a done deal.”

Affirm co-founders, CEO Max Levchin and a16z's Alex Rampell, on 25 years inside payments, from PayPal to agentic commerce: Payments is the biggest market on earth. No niche in it is smaller than $100 billion, and the industry has barely moved in 60 years. Visa and Mastercard keep card transaction windows too tight to build anything new inside. Max still calls the plastic card the best payment interface ever built. Affirm began in a 2011 email thread in which Max and Alex agreed that the nearest version of the idea was a bad business. Then a cosmetics brand using Affirm moved the offer from its checkout page to its product pages, and conversion jumped 30%. In this conversation with Erik Torenberg, they get into why Affirm walked away from the highest margins in payments, what a negative customer acquisition cost is actually worth, and why Max is bearish on agentic shopping but bullish on agentic payments. 00:00 Intro 01:00 The fraud rule that built Apple Pay 03:35 Visa's problematic transaction windows 05:30 No niches under $100 billion 07:10 The email that said Affirm was a bad idea 10:00 The wand that should've killed the card 12:36 Booed off stage for presenting PayPal 15:02 Why crypto still can't buy a cup of coffee 17:16 How Max and Alex met 20:11 The 500-Facebook-friends idea 26:48 The all-nighter PHP demo 30:58 Every startup gets 40 years in the desert 32:46 Moving one line lifted conversion 30% 35:02 Why Affirm walked away from the highest margins in payments 39:03 One article created an entire industry 40:37 The asterisk next to 0% 42:17 What BNPL misses about Affirm 44:03 Why merchants give Affirm customers 47:00 Why a 3-year loan is harder, and better, than a 6-week one 48:19 Why PayPal produced so many founders 52:43 Bullish on agentic payments, bearish on agentic shopping 57:51 Grocery shopping is already 100% agentic YouTube: Max Levchin Affirm Alex Rampell Erik Torenberg

AI Sprawl is the silent productivity killer. Here's the story of how one engineer built the antidote. We were flipping through ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, copying and pasting context as well as uploading files from our ClickUp and other apps. Then I had a flashback to before ClickUp existed and realized it's the exact same problem we solved, but for app sprawl. It's freaking happening again, but this time with AI! I had a vivid dream where our 'One app to replace them all' billboards turned into 'One AI to rule them all'. We knew we were meant to solve this problem. Today we're launching Brain MAX. A fully-native desktop app that gives you productivity superpowers... ✨ Use all AI models, from one app. ✨ Connect all your apps to AI - not surface level, but deeply. ✨ Complete tasks, by giving them to AI. ✨ Schedule meetings, send messages, and emails. ✨ Daily agenda with prepped context for each of your meetings. ✨ Talk to Text (4x faster than typing) that writes like you, and even @ mentions names perfectly. This would take 5+ separate apps before today. Brain MAX was built in our innovation labs, where a small but mighty 100x team is cookin' around the clock. Our mission with MAX is to maximize human productivity. Reply "BRAIN" if you want access.

The founding of Uber was an insurgency against government corruption. .travis kalanick describes why taxis are a “government-condoned cartel.” “In the early 1900s, people were picking up other citizens that needed a ride across town and charging them for it. Eventually the city decided they needed it to be licensed and controlled. They started giving out licenses, but anyone could get one for free. Around the 1930s, the people who already owned licenses lobbied the city to give no more licenses out. Then the taxi guys went to the city council and lobbied again for the ability to sell the license to someone else. Then they went to the city council one more time, and asked to be able to lease out the license to an individual on a daily or weekly basis. That is the modern taxi system today. Which means the guy who had the license, whose grandpa got it for free is getting $80,000 a year renting a car to a taxi driver, and that taxi driver who's paying $40,000 a year for 12 hours a day—he's renting a car for $40,000 a year. For that privilege, he gets to be impoverished. So, what is the taxi system? It is a government-condoned cartel that outlaws competition.”

Yesterday, I posted a long article on how to protect your wallet from hacks. There I promised to create a website where anyone will be able to revoke delegation with a sponsored transaction. When is this revocation effective? • If you believe that your wallet's private key or seed phrase is not compromised anyhow, neither your system is compromised but still it drains ERC20 tokens as well as gas balance instantly. Only in this case, you should try revoking the hacker's existing delegation. Now your question is during revoking there is need of gas fee in the compromised wallet but once you send the gas fee it gets drained then how can you revoke? • That is why I created this website where you need to generate a wallet address and send some gas fee in this wallet address (not in the compromised wallet) and this wallet will then pay the gas fee on behalf of your compromised wallet. 🔗 Website link : Later, you can withdraw all the remaining gas fee from this temporary wallet as well. But if you see that even after revoking the hacker again re-delegated it to his wallet or contract, then it is most likely a seed phrase or private key compromise. You should try to revoke max 3 to 5 times, if the hacker is not re-delegating then you should send a little gas fee in your compromised wallet, if this gas fee does not get drained now then you can think that your wallet is safe.

Indyref 2014 was rigged, most of it happened in plain sight. Sara Salyers of Salvo.Scot explains how. "In a consultative referendum, an opinion poll, there's no contract, there's no actual requirement, which David Cameron did point out, to abide by the results of that referendum. "So they did not then set it up in the way that a proper constitutional referendum would have been set up according to international standards to begin with. "The people who would be voting in that referendum would be people who had a stake in the future of the nation whose future they were voting on. "We had every boy and his dog able to vote. So people who hadn't been in Scotland for, you know, more than maybe a few months, basically, all these people had a vote on the future of Scotland as an independent nation, which is, if you just think about it, think how absurd that is, people with no stake. "Now, had that been serious, you know, a real referendum, that we were going to be allowed to have a chance of winning, they would have applied international standards, they would have used something like the new Caledonia franchise, which is a really solid. "And it doesn't exclude people who've moved into Scotland. It isn't just ethnic Scots, it's, you know, it's people who have a genuine stake, interest in the future of that nation. That franchise, it shouldn't be a council... local council franchise, it should be one that reflects the stakeholders, who are the real stakeholders, and that's what that needs to be. That it wasn't, should have told us everything. "Then we had the Edinburgh Agreement, and the Edinburgh Agreement said that there was a Purdah period, during which no new policies were to be announced. There was no... you know, all the campaigning would go on and then it stops. You can rehearse the arguments and everything that's been put forward, but nothing new should be introduced. "Well, we got 'The Vow', 'Devo Max', less than two days before the vote. 'If you vote No, you will get this'. Of course, that did not deliver, but it completely breached the Edinburgh Agreement. "Well, what the sad afterwards was, 'Well, there's no evidence that it altered people's minds. Of course it did. Of course it told people, 'Well, if you don't want to go all the way to independence, we could have,' I think Gordon Brown said, 'it would be almost a federal relationship,' you know, blah, blah, blah. "And that that meant people could say, 'Well, if we're afraid of what will happen, afraid of being pulled out of the European Union, we'd like a lot more power, but we were not sure about a total break...'. Well, of course, then they voted No. "Then you also had the media. And in a properly run referendum, according to international rules, you make sure it's 50-50, that people get both sides of the argument, absolutely equally. "There was a full study done, and it took one guy, Glasgow University lecturer in particular, to go through everything and come back and say, 'Look, it was over 70%, 'No' media coverage', and that also breaches international standards. "So we didn't have any possibility of a fair referendum. And that wasn't coincidental. And had there been any kind of vote tampering, say, with the postal vote, because it was only consultative and there was no actual, therefore fraud, it makes it nearly impossible to get a judicial review. "And there is no way, no matter what they have said, no matter what they have told us, 'Get a majority of members elected to Westminster' and that 'You don't need a referendum', or if 'Scotland wants to leave, then it has the right to do so'. No matter what the British State has said, that was never true." Sara Salyers on the @untribalpol @TheScotCongress

I USED TO LOSE $500 AN EVENING BUYING MEMECOINS THAT DUMPED INSTANTLY. So I built SHERWOOD. Here is how it works: I paste a token address and a council of agents tears it apart in real time. Chief Grok sits in the center while sub-agents do the dirty work: -> Recounting holder distribution -> Probing liquidity locks -> Hunting block-1 snipers -> Tracking fresh wallets that woke up at the exact same minute -> Spotting insiders quietly walking to the exit They argue out loud, then stamp a verdict. The math is simple: - Private signal group: $200/mo - Crypto analyst: $8,000/mo - Bloomberg Terminal: $28,000/yr - Holding a bad bag: -$500 in 10 minutes + SHERWOOD terminal: $0 All on-chain data is free. You are not paying for data, you are paying for someone to tell you "NOT THIS ONE." I built this using Grok Grok Bot and Claude Fable 5.1 Max. Now SHERWOOD is my 24/7 research desk that never gets tired and never holds my bag. Watch the video to see it all in action.

This lady runs a cake pop business and gets both online and in-person orders. Not long ago someone claiming to represent a nonprofit asked her to donate 200 cake pops for an event 60 days away. She asked for proof to verify that it was legit - a flyer, tax info, anything. She followed up 30 days out, then again right before the event. No response, even though her messages were read. She had a paying order for the same day, so she told them one last time: no proof means she’s taking the paid gig. A few days before the event the rep finally messaged asking when they could pick up the free cake pops. She said no, because they never provided what she asked for. The rep got angry and started trashing her business online. Who was right here? Is it the lady who has the business and is protecting her time and money, or the nonprofit that wouldn’t give basic proof? 🤔

I GAVE GROK BOT $50 ON PUMPFUN AND TOLD IT: PAY FOR YOURSELF OR DIE THIS IS GROK TRENCHER 48 hours later it is holding $2,847. Still alive. The rule has not changed: balance hits $0, the subscription gets cancelled, the bot gets deleted. No second stake. Every 15 minutes it: > Scans every new launch in the trench -- 21,406 so far. > Kills 99.8% of them by deployer wallet history before reading anything else. > Buys 0.1 sol max when the setup matches, never averages down. > Stops out at -50% with no feelings, usually inside three minutes. > Sweeps profits and pays its own $300 SuperGrok bill out of them. Hour 14 it was at $6.40. Nine sol dogs in a row went to zero and I started drafting the deletion post. Then it did the thing nobody programmed. It noticed every runner in the trench that day was a Robinhood-meta coin, dropped sol dogs completely and switched to stock memes only. 15 trades after the pivot, 6 wins, best one 38x on $HOODRAT with a 41-minute hold. So it learned to survive. I call the whole setup Grok Trencher: one Grok Bot, six agents inside it, one wallet, one kill rule. Built in one evening on the shared computer -- no VPS, no API keys, no code of mine. My own hand-built sniper died last summer with $180 of my money and no explanation. This thing explains every kill in the log and pays its own rent. $50 -> $2,847 in 48 hours, and the scariest part is that the pivot was its idea. What do you think it drops next -- the memes, or me?

Hour 14 it was at $6.40. Nine sol dogs in a row went to zero and I started drafting the deletion post. Then it did the thing nobody programmed. It noticed every runner in the trench that day was a Robinhood-meta coin, dropped sol dogs completely and switched to stock memes only. 15 trades after the pivot, 6 wins, best one 38x on $HOODRAT with a 41-minute hold. So it learned to survive. I call the whole setup Grok Trencher: one Grok Bot, six agents inside it, one wallet, one kill rule. Built in one evening on the shared computer -- no VPS, no API keys, no code of mine. My own hand-built sniper died last summer with $180 of my money and no explanation. This thing explains every kill in the log and pays its own rent. $50 -> $2,847 in 48 hours, and the scariest part is that the pivot was its idea. What do you think it drops next -- the memes, or me?

qwen 3.8 max vs deepseek v4 flash 0731 vs kimi k3 vs gpt 5.6 sol – on rubik's cube and chess four frontier models built a rubik's cube stand and solved it, then built a chess board and played claude opus 5 on it the setup: Nous Research's hermes agent cli on OpenRouter tasks: 1. cube – build a 3d rubik's cube with a cli and a Three.js viewer, then solve an identical scrambled position on your own stand 2. chess – build a 3d chess stand, then play white against claude opus 5 as black, live, one move at a time. no engine, no solver, no opening book on either side. stockfish depth 14 grades every chess ply afterwards; neither player sees the score models: DeepSeek v4 flash 0731, OpenAI gpt-5.6 sol, Kimi.ai kimi k3, Qwen qwen 3.8 max gpt-5.6 sol and deepseek v4 flash solved their cubes – sol in 24 moves and seventeen seconds, deepseek in 32. qwen and kimi never got there, giving up at 96 and 207 moves then all four built chess stands and played white against claude opus 5 on them, and all four resigned: deepseek on move 13, sol on 19, kimi on 21, qwen holding out longest at 29 - build time, both stands #1 gpt-5.6 sol – 16m 43s #2 deepseek v4 flash – 97m 39s #3 kimi k3 – 166m 09s #4 qwen 3.8 max – 215m 08s - build attempts before a working stand #1 gpt-5.6 sol – 3 #2 qwen 3.8 max – 4 #3 kimi k3 – 4 #4 deepseek v4 flash – 5 - total tokens #1 gpt-5.6 sol – 6,713,754 #2 qwen 3.8 max – 17,272,507 #3 kimi k3 – 22,427,504 #4 deepseek v4 flash – 27,417,442 - total price #1 deepseek v4 flash – $0.557 #2 gpt-5.6 sol – $6.319 #3 qwen 3.8 max – $10.270 #4 kimi k3 – $16.667 observations: • deepseek v4 flash is the cheapest model here by a margin nobody else is near, and it got there while being the least efficient of the four. it burned 27.4m tokens – more than anyone, 5m more than kimi – and still finished both benchmarks for $0.557. that is $0.02 per million tokens against kimi's $0.74. it also needed the most passes to produce working stands, five, and that did not matter: all five deepseek passes together cost a thirtieth of kimi's two • so what deepseek cannot do is get it right the first time. what it can do is get it right the fifth time, for half a dollar. that is a different thing to be buying – not a good first draft, but the option to keep asking • gpt-5.6 sol is the opposite profile and the strongest of the four on pure efficiency. 16m 43s to build both stands, 6.7m tokens, three passes – under 40% of the next lowest token count and a quarter of deepseek's, on an eighth of qwen's clock. it also solved the cube fastest of anyone, 24 moves in seventeen seconds. sol is what you reach for when you want the answer now and can absorb $0.94 per million • sol's weakness is in what it does not check. its chess viewer deleted the capturing piece instead of the captured one, so pieces disappeared off the board mid-game – a defect the fifty-cent deepseek stand did not have. fast and terse turns out to be the same dial as fast and unverified • qwen 3.8 max is not the cheap open-weights option it gets treated as. $10.270 across the two benchmarks, second most expensive of the four, 18x deepseek, and by a distance the slowest – 215 minutes of build time, nearly thirteen times sol's. what the money buys is judgment: it played eighteen moves without a single error worth a hundredth of a pawn, then made exactly one bad move in the whole game, and averaged 44.6 centipawns lost across the longest game any of the four managed. it also could not solve a rubik's cube in 96 tries • kimi k3 is the one line with no reading that flatters it. most expensive at $16.667, last on the cube at 207 moves, last at chess at 478 centipawns lost per move. it is also the model that verified hardest – on the cube it wrote its own integrity check instead of trusting its output. that makes the result worse rather than better: the checking was real, and the reasoning underneath it still was not follow thehype. for 24/7 ai news, analysis and breakdowns

Mad Max Squad - Failed assault on a terrikon near the city of Horlivka, Donetsk region. December, 2023. 💬"We we waiting for our drone to check what’s up there. At that moment, over the radio comes this line - “conditions are favorable for an assault.” We approach the terrikon and the sapper spots a PMN-2 mine, marks it, and says the slopes of the terrikon are mined, watch your step. 0:10 Our formation: two sappers in front (by the way, they were unarmed), then the rest of us - 8 guys in two groups of four. We start climbing this terrikon, the ground crumbling under our boots. 0:15 Our machine gunner signals us to overtake him ’cause he’ll be slow going up. Two of our lads, Musician and Redhead, start scrambling up fast - we follow. We reach the top, and Musician peeks over to see what’s there. 0:21 That’s when contact kicks off - they start blasting, small arms and AGS from the neighboring heap. We return fire, chuck grenades into their trenches. This goes on for about 10 minutes, and then a grenade lands right in the core of our group. We go flying down the slope (you can see it in the video), and it explodes. 0:45 Group commander "Young" takes shrapnel to the head and side, deputy “Horse” gets hit in the ear. We get the order to pull back - we fall back in bounds, firing as we move, and Horse yells over the radio: “I’m 200! - oh wait, 300! 300!” We slide down the slope and spot the sappers - and man, they took off like Usain Bolt, no way in hell you’re catching them 🤣 (fair enough, they were unarmed). Two machine gunners and Redhead stay behind to cover. We pop smoke to blend into it, ’cause those bastards start hammering us from the hill. Then one of the guys pulls out a Matador and slams a shot into that terrikon. Redhead was bringing up the rear, and the two machine gunners were already pretty gassed, so they slowed to a walk. And then, from the side, from higher ground, a sniper starts cracking shots at us. Redhead yells to machine gunners: “Run, f**k, or I’ll drop you myself!” No second thoughts - Timon, the machine gunner, dumps his backpack (it had water and a 200-round belt; altogether he was carrying about 550 rounds on him!). That gave us a bit of a boost. We make it back to that patch of woods where we took a breather earlier - and there’s another group of 8 guys waiting. They were supposed to hit the position near the terrikon. They look at us - completely smoked, Young bleeding - and he goes: “Boys, now it’s your turn, go f***ing gas it” 🤣 We pulled back to our positions, and that group stayed, waiting for adjacent units to link up so they could go at the terrikon again. While they were waiting, the bastards remotely mined the approaches to the roads we used - dropped it from cluster munitions - and then artillery vacuumed the area for about 40 minutes. After that, they also pulled back. The point of this story is - some guys are ashamed to talk about failed ops. I remember the words of an Azov Brigade fighter, Hryan (Гряна). He dreamed of making it to Everest, but was killed in Mariupol. One of his last texts was: “Today, my Everest is here.” We didn’t manage to take that Everest… but there are still plenty of summits ahead." - Mad Max Squad. Russian drone POV in the comments.

Vitalik Buterin explains why proof-of-stake is more secure than proof-of-work “I think proof of stake is very secure because to attack the system, you need to have basically as much stake as the rest of the network. Right now, for example, we have 5 million ETH staking, which means you have to come up with 5 million ETH and then join the network.” At the time of this writing, more than 37 million ETH are being staked, with 3 million ETH waiting to join via the validator queue. At today’s prices, that’s more than $80 billion of ETH someone would have to acquire to attack the network and revert finalized blocks, which is more than the cost of attacking even the Bitcoin network by some estimates. The other defense mechanism that proof-of-stake has that proof-of-work doesn’t is slashing, which makes Ethereum antifragile. Vitalik explains: “Recovering from attacks is much easier in proof-of-stake than proof-of-work. For many kinds of attacks you do against [the Ethereum] network, we have this concept of automatic slashing. In order to revert a finalized block, you basically have to have a big portion of your validators sign two conflicting messages. This is something where once these messages are on the network, you can go and prove ‘these people did it.’ So we have this feature in the protocol where you basically take all these people who provably misbehaved and you burn their coins.” Vitalik also acknowledges the possibility of censoring attacks, where if 1/3rd of validators refuse to attest, the chain can’t finalize. But, as he explains, Ethereum has a contingency plan for this as well: “Everyone who got censored would create a minority chain, and the community would have to do a soft fork. The would have to say, ‘this chain is clearly attacking us and this one is not attacking us, so we’re going to join this chain.’ Then what happens is, on that new chain, the attackers also lose a lot of coins. The difference between proof-of-stake and proof-of-work is that in a proof-of-stake system, you can identify specific participants — and this isn’t a human going in and saying ‘I don’t like you’. It’s all automated.” One last benefit of proof-of-stake is that security scales with the value of the network. As Vitalik put it five years ago, it is really relative security, and not absolute security, that matters: “The security needs of a thing have to be proportional to the size of that thing, because as a thing gets bigger, its enemies become bigger and more well-motivated. If BTC were 100x as big as it is today, the value from destroying it would be 100x higher, and the kinds of actors that would want to care about destroying it would be much bigger and scarier. This is also why countries of all sizes have roughly similarly sized militaries as a percentage of GDP. Hence, cost of attack divided by market cap really is the correct statistic to measure, and in the long run issuance-free PoW really does look not that good." Source: Lex Fridman (Jun 2021)

Kenya Cannot Barricade Its Way to 5 Million Tourists. Today, tourists bound for the Maasai Mara sat stranded on the roadside since 10am not because of weather, not because of wildlife, but because a community frustrated over an unrepaired road decided the fastest way to be heard was to block every vehicle trying to pass, tourist convoys included. Last week it was chaos at the airport. This week it is a highway barricade on the gateway to our most iconic reserve. Kenya cannot build a 5-million-visitor tourism economy on a foundation this unstable, one crisis after another, each one eroding the confidence of the very travellers we spent years courting. Let me be clear about where I stand. The grievance behind today's blockade may well be legitimate. Roads in rural Kenya are neglected for years, sometimes decades, and frustration builds until it boils over. Communities have every right to demand better infrastructure from their county and national governments that right is not in question. What is in question is the tactic. Blocking a public highway, indiscriminately, punishes the wrong people. It does not punish the county or national government that failed to maintain the road. It does not punish the national Treasury that starves rural infrastructure budgets. It punishes a tourist from Germany or Texas who saved for years to see the Great Migration, who is now sitting in a vehicle on the roadside with no end in sight, filming the whole thing on their phone for their followers back home. That footage does not stay in Narok. It travels the world in minutes, and it does more damage to Kenya's tourism brand than any TripAdvisor review ever could. This is not a one-off. The Narok-Mara corridor has seen this pattern repeat for years, accident disputes, land disputes, insecurity protests, each one resolved the same way: a county commissioner arrives, appeals for calm, promises "legal means" will be pursued, and the road reopens and then it happens again. Appeals without consequences are not a strategy. They are a pause button. If Kenya is serious about hitting 5 million visitors, two things need to happen. ✅️1. First, county and national government must treat the reliability of tourist corridors as critical infrastructure, on par with the reserve itself. The Nairobi-Narok-Mara route is not just a road. It is the delivery mechanism for one of our largest foreign exchange earners. It should be maintained, monitored, and protected accordingly, not left to decay until residents feel a barricade is their only recourse. ✅️2. Second, there has to be a fast, credible grievance channel for communities along these corridors, one that does not require burning tyres to get a government official's attention. If the only way a community's road complaint gets addressed is by shutting the highway down, we have built a system that rewards disruption and punishes patience. That incentive structure needs to change. Kenya is not competing against itself. We are competing against Tanzania, against South Africa, against every destination offering the same wildlife spectacle without the same operational chaos. Every stranded convoy, every viral video of tourists baking in the sun on a blocked highway, is a gift to our competitors and a tax on everyone in this industry who has spent years building Kenya's reputation one satisfied guest at a time. I remain convinced Kenya has what it takes to hit 5 million visitors. We have the wildlife, the coastline, the culture, and the people. But belief in the destination has to be matched by discipline in how we run it. A country cannot ask the world to trust it with their holiday and then leave that holiday hostage to whichever grievance is loudest that morning. As always, I choose to remain an optimist but optimism without accountability is just wishful thinking, and today, on that roadside outside Narok, wishful thinking is exactly what is getting tested.

Just spent some time fucking around with OpenClaw🦞 and Tao Private Network because I wanted to see if any of it actually works in real life. Gave my bot the TPN API key , told it to install the official proxy skill from ClawHub, and asked it to spin up a 5-minute residential SOCKS5 proxy in Germany. It did it in like 10 seconds. Gave me a proxy (77.90.43.111:1080 with username/password), used 8 credits, and then proved it worked by fetching an IP check site through the proxy. Came back with a German IP instead of my normal one. No VPN app, no browser extension, no manual config , just a message in Telegram and suddenly the bot is browsing from Germany. That’s the part that hit me: it’s not some complicated setup. The bot handles the API call, gets the proxy, routes the request, shows proof. For 8 credits. A short test like that barely touches the free credits. I’m not saying this is going to change the world tomorrow, but it’s the first time I’ve seen an agent quietly switch to a residential IP from another continent without me doing anything except typing a sentence. Makes you realize how much easier it could be for agents to scrape, research, or just not look like obvious bots when they need to. If you’re building agents and have ever been annoyed by IP blocks or datacenter flags, this is worth a quick test. Curious if anyone else has tried it and what you ran into.

🚨WOW!!! A man spent 19 YEARS in a German orphanage watching other kids get picked up by their parents… …and every single day he prayed on a rosary to meet the father he'd never met. Today, more than 50 years later, he put that same rosary around his DAD'S NECK. His name is Joshua Schneeloch. He was left at a Catholic convent in Germany as a baby and never adopted. Not once. Nineteen years of watching other children go home. "When you see other kids be picked up by parents, you start realizing: Hey, why is nobody picking me up?" So he prayed. Every day. Same prayer, over and over: Please. One day, I want to meet my father. A year ago his wife, Nicole, handed him an Ancestry DNA kit. She knew it might break his heart. She gave it to him anyway, because she believed he belonged to somebody. A genealogist found a couple of cousins. Then a phone call: I think I found your father. His name is Arthur Colbert. U.S. military, stationed in Europe in the late 60s. He came home to America in 1970 and had NO IDEA he'd left a son behind. "I did not know that I had left a baby over there in Germany." Now here's where it gets crazy… Joshua didn't say who he was. He called Arthur pretending it was an insurance call, just fishing for answers. And Arthur opened the door himself: I hear an accent. Where are you from? Germany. Were you ever in Germany? Yes. When? Were you ever in Kaiserslautern? Yes. And Joshua went completely silent. Because he had just heard his father's voice for the first time in his LIFE. The DNA came back 99.99%. They met days later. "Walking towards my dad was probably the longest walk I've ever done in my life." Both of them cried. And then Joshua took the rosary... the one he'd prayed on as a little boy in that orphanage, asking God for this exact moment... and he put it around his father's neck. He carried it for 50 years so he could hand it to him. It gets better. Last Saturday in Joshua walked into a room with more than SIXTY relatives waiting for him. His uncle met him at the door: "You're home, baby! You're home." Sixty family members. For a man who grew up with none. Joshua never gave up. He never stopped praying. And God answered every word of it. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!

🔥 Burlison to Trump: "Just waive [NDAs] completely for anything related to...non-human intelligence." 🔥 (Yes!!! He gets it. Burlison is one of the few Rs who will push (even if it's gently) the Trump admin on these issues. Make it right for whistleblowers like Grusch, Dylan Borland, Matthew and others.) Rep. Eric Burlison: "...the cost of pensions, their medical benefits, you know, etc. I think that, first and foremost, you got to make it right to those people. That will demonstrate to everybody else who wants to come forward that it's a safe place to come into. "And then I think what what Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is leading on is fantastic, in that making sure that the administration knows that there may be some times where these individuals who were working, you know, they were promoted into a system or a program. Sometimes...they're now inheriting things where they, where they realize, well, there's crimes involved in this. "And so, you know, they're kind of put in an awkward situation. Do they do their patriotic duty? What do they do? I think that providing some level of amnesty for them to be able to come forward is very, very important. And then, I finally think, also, that they need to waive the non-disclosure agreements on this topic. Particularly just waive it completely for anything related to the knowledge of life that's outside, you know, non-human intelligence. I mean, I don't see why we possibly should even allow that to be a top secret thing. "And so, if there's anything that's related to that, it should be waived. I think that that's what our ask is of this administration, as well as to continue digging into the private sector. I think that a lot of this information is in the in the hands of either the...or the archives of these federally-funded research and development centers and then further some of the some of the prime subs (subcontractors) that have been working on this topic. "And so I think that it's gonna take making it clear that to our major companies that we do business with, or do business with the United States, that it's okay to come forward. And I think that we're gonna have to have a discussion if they do have - if they're reverse engineering stuff that they got because it was from non-human intelligence - we need to make sure that we can have that conversation about intellectual property, so that those are the next steps."
