As much as I do shit on the UK I am grateful to have this sort of nature 20 minutes walk from my home

The statement with the Mindshare Agent wasn’t “mindshare is the best trading strategy” (even though it did pretty well) but “Shade Agents are the best way to design open investable trading agents”. A team should scale this idea into a trading agent investment platform
Governments and defence need User Owned AI more than anyone Industries where sensitive data is involved are falling behind because they cannot use LLMs They will benefit greatly from private inference and fine tuning, without hosting their own infra or having the expertise

The future of RHEA isn't built alone. It’s composable, chain-abstracted, and deeply collaborative. Ecosystem partners are core to this vision—spanning infrastructure, tooling, cross-chain liquidity, and user experience. Together, we drive the next era of unified DeFi
Very similar to what we’re doing over @NEARProtocol @proximityfi and we’ve built a whole agent framework around it docs.near.org/ai/shade-agent…
Sui is a tech masterpiece: Ever wondered why integrating secure enclaves is actually practical on @SuiNetwork? It’s not just the infra, it's the magic of Move’s object-oriented model + easy cryptography. Let’s break it down 👇 --- With Nautilus + Sui Move, enclave registration…
