Small correction... the renaming happened in 2024, not 2025.

Yes, it's related. Worldcoin was renamed to World last October.

International travel. You can get one of these, put a limited set of files you need on it, travel with it, and if it gets damaged, lost, or analyzed by customs, then it's no big deal. When you get home, you can wipe it and then it's ready for the next trip.

While OpenAI may have modified their contract to remove mass surveillance on US citizens, there is curiously no mention of the other reason Anthropic was dropped by the Pentagon - using AI for autonomous lethal weapons. So it looks like they're still going to do that part. What could possibly go wrong?

This concept has been around for a while...

Agreed!

Be kind and rewind!

Tokenization seems to mean taking an asset with value, creating a fake representation of it, selling that to someone in exchange for valuable money, and then laughing all the way to the bank. In the case of a bank doing this, the only difference seems to be that there is not as much laughing involved, because they are already at the bank. And in the case of a bank doing this with "stable" coins (that aren't actually stable), they're also skipping the "asset with value" step.

I do not like this Sam-I-am, I do not like the JVM.

Seconded on the Tapo line. I got a Tapo C120 earlier this year and they are surprisingly cheap (currently $28 at B&H) and fairly easy to work with. I found that I needed to initially connect it to their cloud service to get their app working with it, but once that worked, I removed its ability to phone home by blocking the MAC address from the internet on my router. I can still connect to it with RTSP and stream with VLC, replay video with their app, etc. with no need for internet connectivity. Just be aware that if it can't connect to an NTP server that the timestamp in the video will be off... but you can disable the timestamp. It also logs decent resolution video and low bitrate audio to microSD which is handy. I get about two weeks of archived 24/7 footage with a 256 GB card. One drawback is that it is limited to using 2.4 GHz WiFi, which I find to have more interference than 5 GHz in my location. Everyone's situation is different in that regard though.

The latest Sun SPARC arrived at the speed of light... unfortunately it still runs Slowaris

From TFA: out of 15 patients, one patient died during the study. Hope it wasn't due to the treatment...
