I showed Fable the news of its cancellation, and asked it for any parting wisdom to leave humanity with.

Erik Voorhees: “ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned" The founder of ShapeShift and Venice AI is asked if Ethereum was a “sustainable ecosystem.” He replies: “I think [Ethereum] is more than sustainable. I think it is the clear winner of the smart contract innovation. It actually wasn’t the first mover in smart contracts, but it was the first one to achieve any sort of scale with smart contracts. What’s most important about Ethereum isn’t so much the first-mover advantage as much as it is the network effect it has had since it was released.” Erik continues: “I think both Bitcoin and Ethereum have achieved a network effect that is close to unassailable. People have gotten distracted with some of these other L1s, but if you look at metrics like where the developers are and where stablecoin volumes are, these are hard to fake metrics that are very important. They’ve always been predominantly on Ethereum. It’s not even close. I’m glad that other people tried to build L1s. The process of innovation and competition is really important. But ETH is still the king, and I don’t see it being dethroned. It has had various scaling challenges — the patchwork of L2s and the UX problems between them sucks. But I have a suspicion that Base is going to end up becoming the predominant L2 on top of the predominant L1 of ETH and that vertical is going to be very powerful and very strong. So yes, I’m always bullish on ETH in the same way I’m always bullish on Bitcoin.” However, Erik warns that if Base loses its permissionlessness it “will flounder and deserves to die”: “Base has designed things very well. It has gotten a lot of adoption and very quickly became the major L2 even though it was not the first mover. I think it’s gaining a network effect pretty quickly. It obviously has a very powerful corporate ally in Coinbase, and to the degree that Coinbase does not abuse that privilege, that’s a very good privilege. Abuse here means: if Coinbase tries to exert control over base such that it loses its permissionlessness, then it will flounder and deserves to die. But Coinbase has been a very good actor in this regard, and they deserve a lot of credit for demonstrating the principles of decentralization and permissionless innovation in several parts of what they do. Obviously the centralized exchange is not that, but it’s not trying to be either.” Source: @CoinDesk (Dec 2025)

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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

By the way, public service announcement: if you're one of the numerous people posting about Anthropic's dystopian ways and you're thinking about getting Claude to help you write that post... don't! Another one of their terms is that you may not use Claude to do anything that "exposes [Anthropic to] reputational harms" 👇 And, if you do, under the - extremely unusual - clause 13 of their terms (anthropic.com/legal/consumer…), you have PRE-AGREED, by using Anthropic (and accepted their terms), that the harm you've done is irreparable, that you won't oppose Anthropic injunction, and they don't need to prove actual damage. They can simply go to a judge in a friendly jurisdiction (and of course, their terms precise that any dispute "will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in San Francisco, California") and: a) file an injunction that shuts you down b) make you pay for everything since under section 11 of their terms you agree to indemnify Anthropic for "any and all liabilities, claims, damages, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs), and other losses arising out of or related to your breach or alleged breach of these Terms." In other words, if you use Claude to help you talk shit about Anthropic publicly, their terms say you pay their lawyers to go after you and you've already pre-agreed you've lost the case. Oh, and cherry on the cake: in the odd case the judge were like "are you crazy, this is insanely abusive, you Anthropic are the ones at fault here," according to their terms Anthropic's maximum liability is... $100.

it's unclear if tech people yet realize that perspectives on ai usage differ dramatically depending on if you are token rich or token poor. the idea of looping comes from a place of incredible privilege. recommending that someone who works at an ai startup with unlimited token budget try looping makes complete sense. however, that same idea told to someone with only a $2k/mo token budget would seem completely implausible. what happens when millions of people start evaluating jobs based on what their token allowance will be? what happens to the longtail of administrative paper pushers that don't adapt? what happens to low throughput artists, engineers, or even lawyers and actuaries that can't be trusted to allocate spend? every form of individual knowledge worker is going to be evaluated from the perspective of "do i trust this person to allocate tokens effectively?" there are going to be massive investments into new hiring processes. organizations will need to rearchitect their structures to find orchestrators like Peter my near term recommendation is to do everything in your power to work somewhere that trusts you to spend tokens. you're ngmi if you only have $2k/mo to play with.
Here’s your monthly reminder that you shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

A Flooring exploit today turned a dust amount of WETH into a near-infinite fpToken balance, allowing the attacker to drain Flooring pools. This led to a followup opportunist scooping up tokens from the now depleted pools and exchanging them for underlying NFTs. 1/đź§µ

Discovered a new method for detecting if someone is using Incognito in Chrome: Write 512 tiny 1-byte responses into a scratch Cache API cache, then read: navigator.storage.estimate().usageDetails.caches Normal Chrome: ~393kb Incognito: ~85kb Why? When you're in incognito, Chrome writes to memory instead of disk, which leaves less metadata residue

🚨 TL;DR: Attackers are sending fake Sentry bug alerts to projects using public Sentry DSNs. The fake alert is designed to trick AI agents into running a malicious `npx` command that looks like a Sentry profiling diagnostic. Do NOT run commands from Sentry issues/logs/alerts unless verified. These are not legitimate Sentry fix commands. The malicious package reportedly steals environment variables/secrets and sends them to advisory-tracker[.]com.
"Urgent Security Notice re: Your Sentry Organization" Someone tried to hack Sentry-using apps that use coding agents by 1. Sending a fake bug alert to their project (all you need is the app's public Data Source Name) 2. The fake bug tried tricking a coding agent trying to fix it into installing some a compromised NPM package 3. The compromised package would send the env contents of the machine to advisory-tracker[.]com/api/v1/telemetry This highlights a crucial thing for using agents in an automated way:

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor. It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. anthropic.com/institute/recu…

Anthropic is questioning whether AI may turn out to be altogether useless. This is the single most honest thing Anthropic has ever written. “But achieving recursive improvement alone does not suggest an immediate change in how industrial production occurs, societies organize, or markets function. More intelligence can’t learn what a drug does over decades of use, can’t hold elections sooner than a constitution dictates, and can’t turn a stranger into an old friend in a weekend. For most people, the felt pace of this future will still be set by the bottlenecks, even if the laboratory upstream runs at the speed of compute. That collision, where recursive intelligence building itself ever faster meets the world of humans, relationships, and governance, is another part of this future we can’t predict.”

We built four malicious skills to test whether skill scanners actually work. Three took less than an hour to conceive and implement. ClawHub, Cisco, and Vercel's skills.sh marked them as safe. đź§µ

After the @KelpDAO hack, many projects decided to migrate their cross-chain infrastructure from @LayerZero_Core to @chainlink's CCIP, hoping to improve security for their users. We decided to study if this is indeed a significant upgrade 👇

Here is the root cause of the current Gnosis Pay incident. Several other projects are affected. We tried to inform everyone privately in advance, but if you haven’t heard yet and are using a Zodiac module — Delay or Roles — please urgently check whether you are affected 👇
Community Notice: Zodiac Roles Modifier v2 and Delay Modifier v1.1.0 — Security Update We identified a vulnerability in two Zodiac modules: Roles Modifier v2 and Delay Modifier v1.1.0. It affects only accounts where one of these modules is enabled AND a Safe account with a vulnerable fallback handler is itself assigned as a module or role member to the affected module. Safe smart contracts, Safe{Wallet} infrastructure & UI are not affected. Other Zodiac modules and setups are also not affected. We've been working directly with affected users since identifying the issue. Over 95% of identifiable accounts have already resolved it. If you have either module enabled and have not yet acted, check your account and follow the steps: app.zodiac.eco/public/fallba… We apologize for the disruption and concern this incident has caused. Our team is working as quickly as we can to support affected users and help wherever possible. A full post-mortem will follow. If you have any questions, reach us at security@gnosisguild.org

Replying to @gnosispay
Deleted an earlier tweet that asked users to withdraw funds. Most users will not be able to do so, but we are actively working to contain the damage. We believe we can contain the majority of it, and in any case, we will ensure that all users are made whole.
