๐Ÿค‘ Stellar is backing Minisend with $100k grant to keep building

Stablecoins move across multiple chains, but getting that liquidity into local payment rails can still mean dealing with bridges, gas, fragmented liquidity and P2P.

"We're building Minisend to connect those onchain flows to the local rails people already use across Africa," โ€” Minisend said.


More chains. More rails. Simpler settlement. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿค– GPT-6 Astra helped decode a 217-year-old cipher letter to Napoleon's marshal

Carter Church published a proposed solution to a letter addressed to Napoleon's marshal Auguste de Marmont, saying GPT-6 Astra helped transcribe and decode the cipher in about six hours of model execution. Church's full write-up includes the key, transcription and a script intended to reproduce the reading.

"The letter to Marshal Marmont opens with one line of plain French, then 24 rows of numbers, letters and invented symbols. It sat on Cryptiana's Unsolved Historical Ciphers list for decades. Last week, Satoshi Tomokiyo officially confirmed this solution and marked it solved," โ€” Carter Church said.


Astra read the image, reconciled handwritten variants, incorporated an existing partial key and used a simulated-annealing solver to assign values to the remaining signs. ๐Ÿคฏ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ New Mexico to jump into frontier AI regulation

New Mexico Attorney General Raรบl Torrez is slated to propose a state framework to regulate frontier AI, pushing the state toward reining in the cutting edge of the fast-developing technology.

๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ The state bill, set to be sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Linda Serrato, would require frontier AI developers to disclose safety risks, report serious safety incidents and, for the largest companies, give advance notice of major training runs and be subject to independent audits of their risk assessments.

It would also empower the attorney general to impose civil penalties for compliance violations, recover costs to the state for responding to safety incidents and sue for damages on behalf of the state and its businesses and residents harmed by the incidents.

๐Ÿ›ฐ Can AI Run in Space? Google Is About to Find Out

Alphabet launched its homegrown AI chips into orbit on Thursday in a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, a step towards making data centers in space a reality. SpaceX has promoted supercomputers in space as the next frontier in AI infrastructure, touting โ€œinfinite real estateโ€ in orbit.

The launch window opened at 11:15 am PT from Vandenberg Air Force Base in Californiaโ€™s Santa Barbara County, with liftoff occurring without incident. SpaceX successfully deployed all payloads on board by 1 p.m. local time. ๐Ÿ‘

The Thursday launch marks the first in-orbit test for Alphabetโ€™s Project Suncatcher, a โ€œmoonshotโ€ initiative Google first revealed in November 2025. The company aims to develop reliable, solar-powered AI computing infrastructure that can operate continuously in space. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Newsom Signs First-of-Its-Kind Bill Governing Lawyer AI Use

California has enacted first-in-the-nation legislation to regulate attorneysโ€™ use of generative AI tools in their work, banning them from delegating the practice of law to AI and restricting their entry of confidential or personal information into AI tools.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed the bill (SB 574) to codify and expand on state court rules. It requires attorneys to verify all citations before filing briefs in court, including those generated by AI tools, and for at least one attorney to sign every court filing in their individual name, unless the party is representing themselves without an attorney.

It also calls for attorneys to disclose when theyโ€™ve used generative AI to create any document filed with the courts.

Theyโ€™re banned from entering confidential or personal information into open-access AI tools, but they can enter information into tools that are โ€œrestricted to the attorney and persons authorized by the attorney under obligations to protect the confidentiality,โ€ according to text of the law.


The new law prescribes similar limits on arbitrators, barring them from delegating their decision-making process to AI tools and from relying on AI-generated information without disclosing it to the parties involved in the case. The law also sets parameters for courts to issue sanctions for violations.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿค‘ Ripple Launches RLUSD Insurance Pilot for Ugandan Farmers

Ripple; Womenโ€™s World Banking, a nonprofit organization; and Pula, an agricultural insurance technology (insurtech) company, have launched a pilot project to deliver parametric insurance to approximately 3,000 smallholder farmers in Ugandaโ€™s refugee and host communities, with a focus on women.

โžก๏ธ The initiative is titled Harnessing Technology for Womenโ€™s Financial Resilience in Uganda. The pilot combines parametric insurance design from Pula with settlement technology from Ripple.

โžก๏ธ When a predefined shock occurs, such as drought, crop loss, or a health emergency, payouts are triggered automatically. Beneficiaries receive funds in Ugandan shillings through mobile money without filing claims or waiting for manual approval.

RLUSD serves as the backend settlement layer. The settlement process operates in the background, while deposits and withdrawals continue in local currency. Farmers interact only with the mobile-money channel they already use.

A massive step forward for financial inclusion and blockchain utility. ๐Ÿš€

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Sanders, AOC, Merkley propose bill to ban Flock cameras

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Jeff Merkley released text of legislation intended to ban the use of Flock surveillance cameras and other license plate readers.

The Ban Flock Act would bar federal agencies from using automated license plate readers or accessing data from the technology and prevent federal grants from funding states and local governments that use automated license plate readers.

โ€œAt a time of growing concern about the unchecked power of AI, Flock is eviscerating the very notion of privacy by installing tens of thousands of cameras in communities across America without their consent,โ€ โ€” Sanders said.

๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿง‘โ€โš–๏ธ Japan court rules voice is protected as publicity right in AI cloning case

A Japanese court ruled that voices are protected as a publicity right, similar to portrait rights, in the first such ruling in the country.

The Tokyo District Court, however, dismissed the demand by the plaintiff, voice actor Kenjiro Tsuda, for the operator of TikTok to take down videos narrated using artificial intelligence with a voice that he claimed was similar to his own. Tsuda is best known for voicing the character Kento Nanami in the anime "Jujutsu Kaisen."

Japan does not currently have laws that clearly stipulate voice rights, but the Justice Ministry has recently laid out guidelines stating that uploading videos to social media that use voices similar to those of real people and generating revenue from them may constitute a rights violation.

๐Ÿค– Bill Gates says companies that replace human labor with robots should have to pay the same FICA taxes

Bill Gates has a plan to ensure that humans keep getting paid in an AI jobs apocalypse: Tax the robots. The billionaire philanthropist said that "society gets to decide" how to support its workers โ€” even if AI is pushing them out.

"You define a unit of labor and say, independent of whether that's delivered by a human or robot, you are paying the same FICA tax that a human worker would pay," โ€” Gates said, referring to the US payroll tax.


FICA taxes work by having workers pay portions of their paychecks toward benefits like Social Security and Medicare, with employers matching the workers' contributions. Taxing robots that take human jobs would ensure both a monetary safety net for citizens and continued tax revenue for the government, Gates said.

๐Ÿง  Neuralink Advances BCI Technology

Neuralink says its clinical trial participants have now used implants for more than 50,000 hours, creating a large dataset of intracortical neural activity.

The company says this data has been used to pretrain a foundation model for BCI, with early results including:

๐ŸŸฃCalibration reduced from 10 minutes daily to 10 minutes weekly for some users
๐ŸŸฃCursors that can jump directly toward intended targets
๐ŸŸฃA new cursor-control record of 11.32 bits per second

Neuralink says future work will focus on combining data across participants, one-shot or zero-shot calibration, and an API for the motor cortex.

The next generation of BCIs is taking shape. ๐Ÿš€
