Civilisation’s intelligence infrastructure must remain accessible to study, build, deploy and run, and it must serve communities by design, not by permission.
You can give orders to stop access to AI. You can’t give orders to stop access to permissionless #blockchains.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

⚽ Almost 3.5 billion people will watch as the FIFA World Cup kicks off this Thursday.
Almost none of the spectators have any say in how the teams they love are actually run.
So here’s the question worth asking during football’s biggest month:
📍What if Football was governed via a DAO on a #Blockchain?
🌐 What happens when fans are treated as participants in Football, not merely spectators?
✍🏽 A study in the Journal of The British Blockchain Association (#JBBA) put Decentralised Autonomous Organisations (#DAOs) to the test as a governance model for football.
Worth a read as the tournament begins.
Research from BBA's Centre for Evidence Based Blockchain (#CEBB) member, Marco Peirera.
JBBA Editor in Chief: Prof. @DrNaseemNaqvi MBE FBBA.

𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 because we couldn’t access GP records at the weekend.
That should never happen in a modern NHS.
Labour built the NHS in difficult times. Now, in difficult times once again, we must be bold enough to modernise it.
We cannot afford to keep looking the other way.
We must go big on giving patients more control, go big on embracing technology, and go big on building an NHS fit for the future.
Patients deserve better. NHS staff deserve better. The technology exists.
Now we need the courage to act.
