๐ฉ David Sacks & Jason Say Anthropicโs Call for AI Regulation Could Kneecap Their Open Source Competition
โIt's not good enough for them just to win in the free market. They're calling on the government to โฆ limit the number of models that you have access to.โ

The @HRF just announced 10 new grants from its AI for Individual Rights Fund, and some of these projects are exactly what the intersection of Bitcoin, AI, and freedom tech should look like.
The Ark: An AI assistant in East Africa where users pay per query with bitcoin over Lightning. No credit cards, no Western bank accounts, no subscriptions. Just sats for service.
Freedom Skills: A repository of pre-written code that teaches AI agents to use Bitcoin for uncensorable payments and Nostr for censorship-resistant communication. Giving dissidents agents that can transact and coordinate without centralized services.
Open Anonymity Project: A VPN for AI inference. Users can query ChatGPT or Claude anonymously so authoritarian regimes can't compel providers to hand over their data.
0xSero: Compressing state-of-the-art LLMs to run locally on laptops and phones. Private, offline AI for people living under surveillance states.
Maple AI: End-to-end encrypted AI assistant. No data stored, no data exposed.
The Human Rights Foundation is supporting AI for sovereignty instead of surveillance.

For the past three months, we've been building NYC's premiere open-source AI community ๐ฆ๐ฝ
We're excited to take it to the next level by hosting sessions where we don't just show off our agents to each other, but turn our projects into skills for each other to try out live.
Mark your calendars ๐๏ธ Thurs, May 14th!
Huge thank you to our sponsors @vellum_ai, @kilocode and @cakewallet for their ongoing support that make these events happen.

Responsibility go up = freedom go up ๐
One of the coolest things this year at @TheBitcoinConf was seeing the hunger people have for hands on education and personal responsibility.
Our team with @theBTCmentor was a little tucked away in the open source area, but people found us, flooded in, filled the seats, lined the walls, and sat on the floor. They learned cold storage, privacy, multisig, and so much more.
Remember, just because the suits and feds are here, doesn't mean the self sovereign bitcoiners have gone away. Looking forward to doing this again.

The future is agentic, and thus the agentic must be free (as in freedom).

If you're in the Denver area, this is by far the best way you can introduce your friends to Bitcoin

This Saturday, April 25th, bring your friends and family to The Space for our What is Money and Bitcoin 101 training series! You don't want to continue to be the awkward Bitcoin guy at your family functions, do you? If not, then this is a great place to have your loved ones learn about Bitcoin. Link in the comments to the Luma calendar to RSVP.

There is no "better time later" for Bitcoin adoption, because later always comes with a higher cost.
The monetary system is breaking. Misinformation is growing. Most people won't understand Bitcoin until it's too late.
You can change that. Start with your family, friends, and colleagues. Every Bitcoiner should become a micro-educator, not just a speaker or a teacher.
That's exactly what Bitcoin Educators Academy is for.

.@callebtc at @PubKey: "What many developers are doing wrong is they assume everyone ... has spent half of their life becoming an expert in the thing that theyโre an expert in. It takes a form of empathy to understand what people value and why they should be listening to you.โ

Software developers need to be able to convince people that what they are building is important
@callebtc has convinced me that bitchat is very important
Check it out => bitchat.free
