Judgment feels like an attack to people who never judge themselves. We all assess people. What they're good at. What they're not. But when a negative assessment is said out loud, some find it offensive. But a negative assessment isn't necessarily an insult. It's an opinion. We exist on countless spectrums - skill, ability, achievement. We're bound to rank low on some. Knowing where you stand is useful. The ideal: desire to hear other's judgments about you. Treat their opinions as data. If som...

AI Meets Stablecoins: A New Era for Commerce

A new way to transfer value across the internet - x402 is creating financial rails for autonomous AI agents to become independent economic participants. As an open protocol for internet-native payments, x402 enables AI agents to autonomously discover, access, and pay for services - without intermediaries or human intervention. Created by Coinbase, x402 embeds payments directly into HTTP, unlocking machine-to-machine commerce at scale, and positioning AI agents to become the internet's largest...

Waymo AV hits child in Santa Monica

On January 23, a Waymo autonomous vehicle hit a child in Santa Monica, California. The age and identity of the child are not public, but "minor injuries" were reported. Waymo responded with this blog post where they essentially argued that "if this had been a human driver, the accident would have been worse."The event occurred when the pedestrian suddenly entered the roadway from behind a tall SUV, moving directly into our vehicle's path. Our technology immediately detected the individual as ...

Michael Dempsey has a great framing for the secret sauce in the founder/VC relationship. He calls it "vibe alignment" in this excellent and far-reaching post about where we are in the startup/VC world right now. It is certainly possible and probably quite common to build a successful company with an investor syndicate you don't relate to and don't like. But it is not fun. The rare thing is to build a successful company with an investor syndicate you love working with. I've had the pleasure of...

Flipping the ClassroomFor over a decade, I have been straddling two unique networks with most of my work: education and emerging tech. Typically, my assumed role has been to help the educators in my network learn about technology, and to help the technologists in my network build cool stuff. But something strange has started to happen. This year, the educators in my network all want to build. And the technologists in my network all want to learn.

👁️Epstein, Eugenics, AI, and Fraud: The Idiocy of Genius

Hello and welcome to your weekly Dark Markets. Last week I tried something new - writing a column instead of a bulleted news roundup. That was very successful, so it’s likely to be the standard going forward, with a much-condensed news links section I’m for now calling Bullet Points. Column-ing was what made my name at CoinDesk, so probably pretty silly of me to not just keep doing the thing. Second: For some reason that I hope is not costing me money, Stealing the Future is still on sale for...

Gameweek 24 promised a lot of drama, and it delivered. There were heartfelt moments, outrageous goals, late-minute goals, red cards, referee drama, and even a brief wrestling match in the Chelsea vs West Ham game.

Here are all the winners and losers from the gameweek's action.Winners: Ibrahima KonateLiverpool had their foot on Newcastle's neck almost from t...

France opens its seventh urban cable car line

I was surprised to learn this week (I should have already been aware) that France operates seven urban cable cars (or gondolas). Its first was built in Grenoble, at the foot of the Alps, in 1934, and its latest opened in December 2025 in the country's capital region. Called Câble 1 (or C1), this latest line is 4.5 kilometres long, carries 11,000 passengers per day in 105 gondolas, and connects Villeneuve-Saint-Georges to the Métro Line 8 in Créteil (a southeastern suburb of Paris). The total ...

What ChatGPT Got Wrong When It Saved My Life

An AI Medical Miracle, Or Just Human Will?One year ago, ChatGPT urged me to go to the hospital for what turned out to be a life-threatening bleeding risk. I have since written and spoken out a lot about how ChatGPT has saved my life and was even just included in this story from NPR about how people use AI in medical emergencies. But revisiting that original conversation recently forced me to confront something uncomfortable: This wasn’t a miracle. It was persistence. And that distinction matt...

Mixed Realities with TJ Kawamura

How Charlie Munger Thought

Warren Buffett just brought the greatest investing career in history to a close. After six decades at the helm of Berkshire, he led the firm to a staggering 5 million percent in returns. But he’s always been clear. He didn’t build it alone. Charlie Munger was his partner for over 50 years. More than that, he was the one who changed how Buffett thought. “Charlie has helped me immensely by making me see the foolishness of my own behavior,” Buffett has said. Not which stocks to pick, but how to ...

GM! It was a "it's so over; we're so back" kind of week (currently writing from "it's so over" land). We started with @db and our Clankcaster Spotlight with @intori -- and it was such an insightful chat. Wednesday Rachel Wilkins jumped in the cohost seat and we had the Creatorfi unicorns stop by to chat about onchain media and collaborative creator support. Catch up on all of last week's episodes!

Work, money and opportunities in Web3

Web3 doesn’t have a clear entry point. There are many possible paths. Some people arrive out of curiosity, others come from Web2, and others simply because an opportunity appeared, often before fully understanding the ecosystem. This article is not a definitive guide, nor a promise of fast income. It’s a practical map of the real ways people are monetizing in Web3 today, based on paths that are already being used in practice. And either way, the invitation stands: add to this article in the c...
