Who cuscodiates the custardians?

 Its an age old equity

This summer will see the largest rollout of a non-custodial crypto wallet in human history. Instant zero-fee crypto transactions for over a billion users are about to become reality,” Durov wrote.

Currently, Telegram features Wallet, a product by the third-party company The Open Platform (TOP). The service has over 150 million registered users and operates in a custodial mode by default.

TOP founder and CEO Andrey Rogozov explained to ForkLog that the two products are complementary rather than competitive. According to him, Wallet in Telegram will remain a separate multi-chain product with a broader range of features. In addition to storage and transfers, it supports trading, perpetual contracts, tokenized assets, and the Earn tool.

“[The new] wallet is a simple way to start using cryptocurrency. Wallet is designed for those who need more extensive options for trading, investing, and asset management,” Rogozov noted.

Training exercise kills hundreds

 This was a training exercise, not a real-life incident. The actual system would have guardrails [which in the blog they call “production classifiers”] that were disabled here, and those guardrails may have prevented this. What OpenAI reported is kind of an upper bound/proof of concept that stacked the deck to show how bad things could be. In ordinary circumstances one hopes that guardrails would have prevented it. As one software engineer noted, their report reads like marketing. And we all know how much OpenAI (and for that matter Anthropic) love playing the doom card.

 No jury should convict

The Guardian reports a state judge in Delaware has dismissed UnitedHealth Group’s defamation lawsuit against the Guardian over the outlet’s May 2025 investigation, which reported UnitedHealth secretly made payments to nursing homes to reduce hospital transfers for residents.

TIME SERVED

A fascist republic. The New Republic, “My Brother Was Sentenced to 30 Years for Moving a Box of Zines.” 

“Literature, in the Prairieland case, was turned into a vector of criminalization,” she writes. “In the hands of a prosecutor, the fact that a book or a zine can be passed from reader to reader became the accumulating elements of a criminal conspiracy.”

Mouth to arse resuscitation

 OpenAI is renewing its investment in the American Journalism Project by committing an additional $5 million in funding and $3 million in tech credits to the organization over the next two years. BEWARE THE WALKING DEAD.

 Counting coup considered harmful

Whitemans News Corp CEO Robert Thomson described the tribal company as “content crooks and brand brigands” and said: 

“They have shamelessly stolen and then perfidiously profited from that pilfering by illicitly fencing our journalists’ work. Instead of a license, they have licentiously looted with blatant disregard to the severe damage done to the information eco-system. This era of tacky tech trafficking must come to an end if journalism is to have a sustainable future. These byte burglars and bootleggers, these content contrabandists are seriously undermining the integrity of AI and IP.”
