.@amazon has believed in giving customers choice across AI models for years. We have always supported open-weight models on Amazon Bedrock, starting back in 2023, and will continue to advocate for open ecosystems. No single model will define AI leadership. Customers need access to the most capable frontier models, alongside open-weight models they can adapt, optimize, and deploy for their own workloads. Open and closed models are complementary. Together, they expand access to AI, accelerate innovation, strengthen competition, and give organizations greater control over the technology they build. Successful leadership in AI will not be built around a single model or a single approach. It will be built on broad choice and the infrastructure to run those models securely, reliably, and at scale. While there are elements of the Open Weights and American AI Leadership letter that need further definition over time, we’re supportive of the macro direction and have signed it.

🦔AI companies are bulk-buying rare books, scanning them through high-speed machines that cut the spines off, and shredding the originals. A service called ISBNdb facilitates orders of up to a million books and keeps buyers anonymous. Pre-2022 books are premium because they're free of AI-generated text. A federal judge ruled the practice is fair use because eliminating the original means only one copy exists at a time. Anthropic hired the former head of Google Books partnerships to obtain "all the books in the world." My Take This got to me. A bookseller told 404 Media that rare books with almost no surviving copies are being fed into this pipeline. Books that survived wars, fires, and centuries of handling are being shredded so an AI can learn to write a better marketing email. ISBNdb's website literally says "'AI company destroys two million books' is not a headline that generates sympathy," and they still built an entire business around making it happen quietly. They offer NDAs as a feature. They coach clients to call it "digital preservation." I've covered AI companies scraping the internet, torrenting libraries, and stealing music. This is worse because it's irreversible. You can re-upload a website. You can reprint a bestseller. You can't replace the last three copies of an 18th-century botanical text once someone shreds them for training data. And the judge said it's legal. So it's going to accelerate. "We shred rare books and offer NDAs so nobody finds out" is a legitimate business model in 2026. What a timeline. Hedgie🤗

The deeper I go, the more I realize 21M $TAO is just the surface. Barry & Jason get it. Underneath it sits 128+ subnet economies. Each Alpha has its own 21M cap. Its own halving clock. Its own scarcity cycle. Then v431 pushed the network even further toward the market. Cross-subnet emissions now follow moving-average market value. Build something people value. Attract capital. Emissions follow. And ownership is not guaranteed forever either. On mature subnets, conviction can build behind someone willing to put real economic weight on-chain. Commitment is becoming measurable. Ownership is becoming competitive. Now add direction: Less human involvement. More rules pushed into code. More autonomy. AI Agents interact with the network themselves on every level. Eventually, the goal is a network that runs without someone sitting above it deciding where intelligence deserves value. Satoshi built a sovereign network for money. Bittensor built one for intelligence. That is much bigger 21M $TAO DYOR
