I can have a reasonable political argument with my dad about anything, but the triple lock was the thing he was borderline militant about. They’re writing off the pensioners to reform and going after the yoof vote, is my guess.

I'm being satirical here by the way. In case anyone reading this is having a nuance failure. I'm painting the picture of an absurdist Techno-Terry Gilliam dystopia that we are circling around. Taking the piss out of it is the only thing that keeps the existential dread away.

Very much like the direction here and it's true that blockchains have become something much more than Bitcoin. Ethereum will become a generalised surface for private world computation and coordination. The cryptographic world computer.

Nope, it's a great regulatory capture tactic. Scaling laws dictate that each advancement of the frontier with a new major pre-training run (which coincidentally they've all just done) gets astronomically more expensive. Fable / Astra likely cost $2B to train, it's likely $10B next time and it's up only from there. "pacing the frontier" allows the labs to extract rents from their latest models for longer before a competitor steams past them rendering their multi-billion dollar models obsolete and they get forced into the next run. They simply agree not to do the next run and spend their money and time on product, distribution and lobbying governments to protect their moats.

Something cool happening here IMO. The Jito Stake Pool has around 10 million SOL staked in it, and we don’t want that SOL to sit out of participating in the new governance system. So we’ve built a system that allows you to vote with your JitoSOL. A few interesting things about this: This ensures that JitoSOL has all of the governance utility that SOL has. In fact, it has more, because if you vote, the signal you generate will influence the entire stake pool. That means you can have up to 10X the voting power in the forthcoming governance votes. This makes JitoSOL holders in the top 5 most influential votes on the network. We created the concept of a “quorum trigger” for this. We only trigger the stake pool if we get 10% of JitoSOL TVL to vote. This felt like a reasonable legitimacy threshold to swing the entire stake pool. We vote early. In order to canvass the opinion of JitoSOL holders in advance of the on-chain governance votes we do our votes in the review period before the on-chain votes happen. As more voters join over time, JitoSOL will mature into being an exit poll for major governance votes on the network. Generally, this is a step forward in LST governance, which I believe will become of a bigger feature of blockchain governance going forward. If you hold JitoSOL, get involved.
