happiness=have/want?
16h
Jimmy Carr nailed something a lot of us feel but can’t explain.
We’re living better than 99.9% of humans who ever walked the earth, hot showers, modern medicine, endless entertainment, kids that actually survive infancy, yet so many of us feel miserable.
He calls it “life dysmorphia.” We get used to how good we have it (the hedonic treadmill), then compare ourselves to everyone else and tank our own happiness.
As he puts it: happiness = quality of life minus envy.
Marcus Aurelius put it perfectly: “Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.”
When was the last time you caught yourself feeling unhappy despite objectively having it pretty damn good?

Fable achieved a significant breakthrough in one of our open problems. This is a problem where ChatGPT 5.5 could not even begin anything useful. The breakthrough seems legit (although not 100% checked yet), and Fable even claims to have a full solution. >10 hours total runtime so far. A 30 page document with the proofs of some lemmas not yet spelled out. We can not yet know whether Fable indeed has solved it, but even if it is just a partial solution, we are absolutely amazed. More details will follow, and once we are at the end of the story, I will also write a full substack post. Collaboration with István Vona, a postdoc in my group.

privacy used to be a setting.
now it’s a survival skill.
your chats train models.
your location prices products.
your habits build profiles.
your private life becomes content.
and somehow the “paranoid” people were the only ones reading the room early.
the weirdest part is that corporations and governments are now quietly confirming everything they mocked 5 years ago.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Building A2A commerce? A key part, we believe, is verified identity, gated access, data provenance, reputation, and a place for transaction context to persist.
Swarm AI Data Exchange explored exactly that layer: ACT x402 ERC-8004 on Swarm.

“Peer-to-peer web” becomes much more serious when it leaves the laptop.
Freedom Browser on mobile is a small but meaningful shift: a Swarm light node as something your phone can carry.
Do androids dream of light clients? They might.

Jimmy Agent made it into the ETHPrague highlights from @ethswarm 🦾
At the hackathon, we built an AI-powered wallet that separates intents, logic, and signatures. And @ethswarm replaced our centralized servers by serving as a secure, decentralized storage layer for the AI agent.

Nine projects took home Swarm prizes at @EthPrague 2026: four named bounties, one track award, four custom rewards.

Decentralized streaming on Swarm🎦🐝
🔸True p2p
🔸Postage stamps — pre-paid storage; nodes are paid to serve it
🔸ACT — cryptographic grant/revoke at the protocol layer
🔸Feeds — mutable reference on top of immutable storage

This reminds me of a brainstorm with @akprettyok on how a Berlin side-event with curated music streaming from Swarm would look like
