Anthropic just announced it’s donating MCP to the Linux Foundation, under a new Agentic AI Foundation called ✨AAIF✨, co-founded by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block. So it’s not just one announcement… it’s actually two … here’s a quick breakdown: 1️⃣ MCP moves to the Linux Foundation MCP launched just a year ago and already has over 97 million SDK downloads. By donating it to the Linux Foundation, MCP becomes open, vendor-neutral, and community-governed — which is exactly what a widely adopted protocol needs to scale. 2️⃣ The launch of AAIF The Linux Foundation just launched a new Agentic AI Foundation - AAIF - and MCP is one of its founding contributions but there are 2 others: It’s joined by Block’s goose framework and OpenAI’s AGENTS spec…..creating a shared home for open-source agent standards ❤️🏡 📖 Official announcement:

The Bank of Japan finally admits the carry trade is the problem. So they raise rates to fix it. Except the pension funds and insurance companies they need to buy Japanese bonds are refusing. Not because rates are too low. Because the policy environment made investing in Japan too unpredictable in the first place. So the hikes meant to strengthen the yen are pushing the same institutions further away, and the yen weakens anyway. They diagnosed the disease correctly for once. They just cannot write a prescription that matches reality, because the whole framework they are working from does not match reality. That is the pattern. Not just in Japan.

The financial system is creating the same risk patterns that caused the 2008 crisis—just in a different market. Private credit is that market. It's grown to $1 trillion in loans made by hedge funds and asset managers instead of regulated banks. Here's how it works: → Banks lend money to hedge funds. → Hedge funds use that capital to make risky loans. → Banks claim they have no direct exposure to the borrowers. But the risk doesn't disappear. The loans bypass traditional banking oversight, but the funding still originates from the regulated banking system. When private credit deals go bad, the losses flow back to banks through their hedge fund lending relationships. We're already seeing cracks. BlackRock lost 19% of their private credit fund in one quarter. Subprime auto loans are defaulting at accelerating rates. Overleveraged companies are filing bankruptcy. Nobody's watching the full picture. No transparency requirements mean regulators can't see the scope of interconnected exposures. No one knows which banks are most exposed through which hedge fund relationships. When private credit markets seize up, the connected banks will face losses just like they did with subprime mortgages. The legal framework for "bail-ins" already exists—allowing governments to access depositor funds to recapitalize banks rather than using taxpayer bailouts. This explains why diversification matters. When credit markets experience stress, assets outside the banking system—like precious metals—historically maintain value independent of financial institution health. The pattern repeats: Risk transfer, regulatory gaps, interconnected exposures, and inevitable systemic stress when the cycle reverses. -- This is just scratching the surface of the brewing financial crisis. In a 45-minute video, I also covered: • Why mining stocks give 3-5x leverage to gold price moves (costs stay fixed, profits multiply) • How CME margin hikes force leveraged traders to sell and crash prices •The US has legal framework for bail-ins (Orderly Liquidation Authority) Just comment "CRISIS" and I'll DM you the full video.

It is shameful how INC Andhra Pradesh President Smt YS Sharmila ji had been house arrested at her home in Vijaywada only because PM Modi will be in town day after She has now been released But here’s why she had been house arrested in the first place👇 • Because she wants to raise her voice for Andhra Pradesh and fight for what the state rightfully deserves from the central govt • PM Modi will visit Amaravati on May 2 to announce the reconstruction of Andhra Pradesh’s capital city • In 2014 PM Modi had already laid the foundation stone for Amaravati, bringing soil from Parliament and water from the Yamuna River as a symbolic gesture • But the project was stalled due to political and financial challenges, with the foundation stone being a mere display piece • Congress party has demanded release of actual funds beyond symbolism • YS Sharmila Reddy has proposed to stage a symbolic protest at the site of the original 2014 foundation stone laid by PM Modi • She plans to visit the old foundation stone site ahead of PM Modi’s visit 👉👉 Is PM Modi’s ally Naidu ji so scared that he wants to stifle a voice fighting for Andhra Pradesh?

Bill Gates and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation exert influence over media through substantial financial contributions, which can shape editorial content and focus. Here's how this influence manifests: 🚩Financial Support for Media: The Gates Foundation has provided significant funding to numerous media outlets and journalistic endeavors. For example, it has donated over $319 million to media organizations to promote its global agenda. This includes funding to major outlets like BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, NPR, The Guardian, and The New York Times, among others. This financial support often aims at supporting coverage on issues the Foundation prioritizes like global health, education, and poverty alleviation. 🚩Editorial Influence: There's contention around whether this funding influences editorial content. While the funding might be earmarked for specific projects or topics, it could indirectly influence overall reporting due to financial dependencies. For instance, the Foundation's focus areas like vaccine distribution, agricultural development, and education reform receive extensive coverage which aligns with its initiatives. 🚩Fact-Checking and Content Moderation: Gates has also invested in entities involved in fact-checking, which could potentially shape public discourse by moderating content that might be critical of his initiatives or aligns with narratives contrary to the foundation's goals. 🚩Creation of Content: Beyond traditional news outlets, the Gates Foundation has funded the creation of content through initiatives like documentaries and special reports that focus on issues it deems important, like the documentary "Waiting for 'Superman'" which supports the charter school movement, aligning with Gates' educational reforms. 🚩Public Perception and Criticism: This level of influence might skew media coverage towards topics that favor the Foundation's objectives while potentially sidelining critical or alternative viewpoints. There's a concern that philanthropy, especially when directed by billionaire donors, might prioritize their vision over the democratic process of public interest journalism. 🚩Transparency and Disclosure: While the Gates Foundation claims to ensure editorial independence, there's an ongoing discussion about the transparency of these financial ties. Critics like Tim Schwab have pointed out that many journalists and media organizations receiving Gates' funds do not disclose these connections, which could affect perceived or actual editorial independence. This influence has led to debates over the ethics of philanthropy in media, where the line between funding journalism for the public good and influencing public opinion becomes blurred. A thread on corrupt Bill Gates & his foundation

Urban Growth with Vision: Laying the Path for 50 Years Ahead! Chaired a meeting on financial planning of statewide urban infrastructure and civic amenities projects under the Maharashtra Urban Infrastructure Fund (MUINFRA). While reviewing the meeting, expressed that long-term planning is essential for basic services such as sewage, drainage, solid waste management and water supply in our cities. Separate plans must be prepared for each sector, focusing not only on funding but also on resource planning. Also highlighted that projects must not stall due to lack of funds and sufficient arrangements should be made to ensure their completion. Local bodies must receive financial support and the facilities created must be effectively monitored. Urban development is not just about constructing buildings, but a process that drives social and economic progress. For the growth of urban infrastructure, we must adopt a unified framework, long-term planning and proper use of funds. The choices we make today will shape our cities for the next 50 years and every project must be undertaken with that future in mind. Abedalrazq Khalil, World Bank Task Force Urban Development, Resilience and Land Practice Manager for the South Asia Region and other concerned officials were present.

Fox News released a bombshell today exposing Zohran Mamdani is funded by a $2.9 million dollar network of George Soros and Islam activists donors But that’s not all “Records have revealed that George Soros funneled $37 million to support Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani’s campaign” “According to those recently released records, Soros, through his Open Society Foundation, funneled the money in recent years to the Working Families Party and at least nine other left-wing organizations that supported Mondani's successful campaign in the New York Democrat mayoral primary. The WFP, a far Our Left Socialist Friendly Group received $23.7 million from Soros through its nonprofit fundraising arm, then used that money to help Zohran Mamdani. — Other unnamed NGOs also received funds totaling the more than $13.9 million figure. Zohran Mamdani, who has been accused of being a Marxist and communist”

Today I visited hospitals to financially support few people with their medical bills. I remember asking my friend “ what if people don’t donate”, I was scared but I did it regardless. This is how I genuinely wanted to celebrate my 39th birthday and you guys made it dream come true. My bank started their shenanigans this morning and I couldn’t generate e-token when I wanted to move the funds donated from my corporate account to my personal account so I’ll be able to make transfers. Had to enter the bank to fill a form to transfer the funds. - I firstly went to Adeoyo hospital and I left - I visited oni and sons next and some amount was individually transferred to few mothers with sick kids - I went to UCH and also transferred some amount to few parents too. - there’s a screenshot of the receipt of funds ( though my bank Dey gba but I posted for transparency).. May God bless those who donated. Thank you guys so much 🙏🙏

⭕️ UN Gaza Envoy Mladenov Outlines Status of Gaza Reconstruction Framework Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace envoy overseeing the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire framework, addressed journalists in Jerusalem Wednesday following a meeting with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, laying out the clearest public account yet of where the Gaza transition plan stands. 🔹 On the ceasefire ➤ Mladenov acknowledged the ceasefire is “far from perfect,” with daily violations that continue killing civilians and restricting humanitarian access. He did not name Israel as the party responsible, and claimed that for the first time in two years, “the guns have largely fallen silent” and truck deliveries into Gaza have risen from 1,300 to over 4,000 per week, with diversion by armed groups falling from 90% to around 1%. (All aid agencies on the ground dispute those figures, and say less than the 40% of required essential aid promised in ceasefire terms is entering.) ➤ Mladenov’s remarks blamed Hamas’s refusal to disarm as the reason for the deadlock, saying Israeli withdrawal will be staged and conditional on disarmament. Israel now controls two thirds of Gaza east of the “yellow line,” after agreeing to withdraw to 53% initially, and AP cited Israeli rights group Gisha saying Wednesday that the military has also asserted aid “coordination control” over an additional 11% of the territory. 🔹 On the plan ➤ The framework, Mladenov said, based on Trump’s 20-point plan and enshrined in UN Security Council Resolution 2803 — offers $17 billion over ten years for reconstruction, staged Israeli withdrawal, Palestinian civilian governance through the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a reopened Rafah crossing, and a political horizon toward Palestinian statehood. ➤ Mladenov said a 15-point implementation roadmap has now been presented to Hamas twice in Cairo, with the second version revised to address concerns raised by Palestinian factions. He described the process as reciprocal and verification-based: “Nobody is asked to trust anybody. Everyone is asked to verify.” 🔹 On Hamas ➤ Mladenov claimed Hamas is “consolidating its grip” on Gaza’s population, taxing civilians “who have nothing left to give,” and blocking Palestinian contractors approved by the Board of Peace from building shelter for displaced families. Note: There is no independent verification of this claim. ➤ “To what end?” he asked. “To squeeze better terms of a negotiation. To foreclose the choice that the Palestinians in Gaza might otherwise make about their own future before they can make it themselves.” 🔹 On disarmament ➤ Mladenov said “one authority, one law, one weapon” is a non-negotiable condition of the transition, arguing that reconstruction, Israeli withdrawal, and any political horizon all depend on armed factions giving up independent command structures, arsenals, and tunnel networks. ➤ “You cannot build a future with armed groups running the streets, hiding in tunnels and stockpiling weapons. You cannot deliver reconstruction with militias on every corner,” Mladenov said. ➤ The framework offers: ▪️ a voluntary weapons buyback ▪️conditional amnesty for those who hand in arms ▪️financial gifts for those stepping aside from positions of authority ▪️and safe passage to third countries for those who cannot accept the framework. ➤ Hamas would not be required to dissolve as a political movement: “A political party that disavows armed activity can compete in national Palestinian elections,” Mladenov said. ➤ But the framework effectively makes Palestinian disarmament the gateway to reconstruction, while Israeli withdrawal remains tied to further compliance and verification. 🔹 On urgency ➤ “The people of Gaza can no longer wait,” Mladenov said. “There is no third option. There’s the status quo, which is miserable. And there’s the option to move forward.”

Reports indicate a significant development in defense cooperation as Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia are reportedly working on forming a joint Islamic defense bloc, which analysts are calling a potential “Muslim NATO.” The foundation of this bloc builds on the existing strong defense agreement between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, under which any attack on Pakistan would be considered an attack on Saudi Arabia. Now, Turkey’s entry is seen as a strategic step. According to international sources, Turkey is in the final stages of negotiations to join the Pakistan Saudi defense framework. This would combine Pakistan’s nuclear capability, Saudi Arabia’s financial and oil power, and Turkey’s advanced drone and defense technology, creating a formidable regional force. Observers note that at a time when NATO faces internal challenges, this emerging Muslim alliance could not only shift regional power dynamics but also send a clear message to the world: Muslim nations are increasingly pursuing collective security and autonomous defense strategies.

#3 - Elon Musk sounds the alarm on “magic money computers” at the federal government that can “send money out of nothing.” “So you may think that the government computers all talk to each other. They synchronize, they add up what funds are going somewhere, and it’s coherent that the numbers, for example, that you’re presented as a senator, are actually the real numbers. They’re not,” Musk explained. “They’re not totally wrong,” he continued. “They’re probably off by 5% or 10% in some cases. So I call it Magic Money Computer. Any computer which can just make money out of thin air. That’s Magic Money.” “So how does that work?” Ted Cruz asked. “It just issues payments,” Musk answered. “I think we found now 14 magic money computers. They just send money out of nothing.” This raises a critical question: If the government’s books are off by 5% to 10% in some cases, leaving up to hundreds of billions of dollars unaccounted for, where is all that money actually going?

As a proud Angeleno, the fires that have devastated our county have been heart-breaking. I am so fortunate that while my own home in the Palisades was at risk and had some damage from the fires, I am safe. So many others cannot say the same, and my heart goes out to all of those who have been affected and are rebuilding their lives from ash. I wrote this poem, “Smoldering Dawn”, to process my own fears and prayers for us as we come together as a community to heal from this trauma. While we mourn what we have lost, we also give thanks to the first responders, firefighters and civilians who have fought so tirelessly to combat these fires and ensure the safety of so many. To honor them, I’m releasing this poem as a fundraiser for the California Fire Foundation, which is offering support and aid to firefighters families, as well as those who have been impacted by the fires. 💛 Give what you can, help who you can, stay safe, and this too we shall conquer.

I am so fortunate that while my own home in the Palisades was at risk and had some damage from the fires, I am safe. So many others cannot say the same, and my heart goes out to all of those who have been affected and are rebuilding their lives from ash. I wrote this poem, “Smoldering Dawn”, to process my own fears and prayers for us as we come together as a community to heal from this trauma. While we mourn what we have lost, we also give thanks to the first responders, firefighters and civilians who have fought so tirelessly to combat these fires and ensure the safety of so many. To honor them, I’m releasing this poem as a fundraiser for the California Fire Foundation, which is offering support and aid to firefighters families, as well as those who have been impacted by the fires. 💛 Give what you can, help who you can, stay safe, and this too we shall conquer.

Leaving Citadel & launching a $1B AI hedge fund — how Renee Yao built NeoIvy Capital from scratch Renee Yao walked away from two of the most elite hedge funds on Wall Street — Citadel & Millennium — and built a quant fund on a fundamentally different model: modern AI instead of human-powered alpha generation. The result: $1B+ in regulatory AUM, uncorrelated returns through COVID, & a fund Business Insider named one of the top transforming investing in North America. We cover: - Why large multi-manager quant firms rely on massive global researcher headcounts — & why Renee saw that as a model worth disrupting - The 3 barriers to entry in AI-driven quant — & why legacy sequential infrastructure can be a disadvantage compared to modern parallel distributed systems - How NeoIvy's self-evolving models adapted in real time during the March 2020 crash — while traditional quant managers had a nightmare month - The difference between beta returns, factor returns & pure alpha — & why size is the enemy of true idiosyncratic returns - Why the "black box" reputation of quant funds has been the #1 fundraising obstacle - How a 4-year-old girl visiting her uncle's room-sized supercomputer in China set the foundation for all of this - The edge/breadth/constraint framework from Grinold & Kahn — & how it shaped Renee's thinking on diversification - Renee's raw advice on staying disciplined when everyone around you is chasing beta in a bull market Transcript: 00:00 Intro 01:14 Renee Yao’s journey to founding Neo Ivy 02:28 Joining Citadel after the financial crisis 04:13 Hedge fund diversification and breadth of edge 04:45 Why Neo Ivy trades with AI strategies 07:50 How self-learning AI adapts to markets 09:40 Causation vs correlation in AI hedge funds 10:33 Barriers to entry for AI hedge funds 14:47 Risks of crowded factor bets explained 16:39 Why big funds struggle with AI talent 17:29 From PM at Citadel to hedge fund founder 18:47 Challenges of launching a quant hedge fund 20:25 Biggest constraint for AI hedge fund startups 22:08 How AI hedge funds adapted during COVID 24:04 Modern AI tools used in quant trading 25:13 Building hedge fund infrastructure from scratch 26:26 Career advice for aspiring quants and traders 28:55 Adapting career goals to changing job markets 31:57 Life lessons from trading and risk management 32:51 Staying disciplined while running a hedge fund 34:38 Obsession and belief in AI hedge funds 35:41 Closing thoughts on hedge funds and life

🌍 Hedera “Built for Billions” is no longer a slogan. It’s taking institutional shape. Today was one of those moments where a lot of separate threads came together. Hedera leadership just wrapped one of the most comprehensive end-of-year discussions we’ve seen in crypto, bringing together: • Dr. Leemon Baird • Mance Harmon • Eric Piscini • Charles Adkins • Kamal Youssefi Founders, foundation, enterprise adoption, and global policy perspectives all in one room (hosted by Generation Infinity). At the same time, something important happened in parallel. The Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) was formally welcomed as a Strategic Partner of the Hedera Governing Council. That matters because GBBC is not a random crypto marketing group. It is the policy, standards, and risk-mitigation body working directly with governments, regulators, and global institutions. Earlier this year, GBBC published its Risk Mitigation Framework, with participation and observation from: • DTCC • Euroclear • Clearstream • World Bank (observer) • Oliver Wyman • Ripple (XRP) • Hedera (HBAR) Foundation • Cardano (ADA) • Avalanche (AVAX) • Major public networks and market infrastructure providers Phase 2 of that framework expands to Canton (CC) Network and Chainlink (LINK), with Phase 3 explicitly extending to native crypto assets. Today, those same names are starting to align in public..... Hedera also highlighted DTCC’s SEC no-action relief to tokenize DTC-custodied assets, a milestone that effectively opens the door to regulated onchain capital markets. This is not about hype cycles or narratives. This is about: • Regulated institutions • Risk frameworks • Governance • Interoperability • Compliance ready public networks During the Hedera leadership panel, one statement stood out: "It is becoming irresponsible for enterprises not to be exploring DLT" That is a very different conversation than crypto was having just a few years ago. Hedera’s model now combines: • Public, permissioned-grade infrastructure • Governing Council oversight • Open-source code managed under the Linux Foundation • Alignment with global policy and risk standards This is what “trust layer” actually looks like when it starts forming. Not one chain. Not one company. Not one jurisdiction. But coordinated infrastructure for how value, data, and markets move in a digital economy. Hedera is ready to serve billions at scale. The next phase of crypto isn’t louder. It’s integrated.

Excited to share our latest work on 🎧spatial audio-driven human motion generation. We aim to tackle a largely underexplored yet important problem of enabling virtual humans to move naturally in response to spatial audio—capturing not just what is heard, but also where the sound is coming from. To this end, we introduce the Spatial Audio-Driven Human Motion (SAM) dataset—the first comprehensive dataset featuring paired high-quality human motion and spatial audio recordings. For benchmarking, we develop a generative framework for human MOtion generation driven by SPAtial audio, termed MOSPA, which learns to synthesize realistic and diverse human motions conditioned on spatial audio input. We hope this research could provide a foundation for future research in spatial perception, virtual characters, and embodied AI. The dataset and model will be open-sourced soon. A big thank you to our intern, Shuyang Xu, for the wonderful collaboration! Congratulations, Shuyang!
