  The Bitcoin Dialectic 🎙️ (@Digvijay_BTC) reported 2 minutes ago

  🚨 BREAKING: India just ordered GitHub to delete Twitter Founder Jack Dorsey's Bitchat - a Bluetooth messaging app with no internet, no phone number, no server to subpoena. The stated reason? Violation of Section 79(3)(b), a law providing “safe harbor” protections for online platforms. The actual reason? Students were using it to organize protests demanding education reform. The part most people miss 👇

  ONE GITHUB FILE MAKING CLAUDE SMARTER THE MOMENT YOU INSTALL IT. It's called Andrej Karpathy's skills. One file. Zero lines of code. Built on Andrej Karpathy's own notes about where AI coding agents go wrong. Every Claude user has the same 4 complaints. It over-engineers a 10-line fix. It ignores your instructions. It marks a task done when it's not. It invents APIs that don't exist. 4 rules in this file kill all 4. Ask it to fix a typo. It used to rewrite the whole file. Now it touches 1 line. THE EXPERIENCE OF USING CLAUDE CHANGES THE SECOND THIS FILE HITS YOUR PROJECT ROOT. 170,000 developers starred it in weeks. Not for the code. There is none. For the discipline.

  Apparently, the government tried to make GitHub take bitchat down. Hmm, true colours, desperate, something.....

  i went ***** deep into $KAITO after the X deal checked the official GitHub, team breadcrumbs, product rails and Base flows. tldr: @KaitoAI is trying to turn internet attention into a financial primitive > official data agreement with X > 3,000+ stocks already live in Pro > crypto, stocks and AI social graphs shipping > API and MCP rails live for agents > information-markets dataset expanding right now the GitHub trail is the juiciest part Kaito’s official org now has datasets for AI companies, pre-IPO names and information markets. today a Kaito employee opened PR #208 to add QuoteMarkets. the team also runs a live MCP server feeding search, mindshare, sentiment, smart followers, KOL data and catalysts directly into agents so this isn’t vapor. the data stack is getting built for something much wider than crypto CT leaderboards @Punk9277 keeps teasing: > “new fields” > “new economies” > “new currencies” > a “new paradigm for Kaito” > going back to first principles the obvious bet is an X-powered market layer for attention licensed X firehose → social and knowledge graphs → Pro / Studio / API / MCP → attention indexes → information markets basically @Polymarket-style rails for who and what owns mindshare across crypto, stocks and AI that’s the bull case. but: > no public market contracts > no confirmed Yaps reboot > no Grok deal > no $KAITO integration inside X > no proof that X greenlit a new pay-to-post meta imo: we wont see yaps which people are waiting for. this type of announcement of an announcement is just a speculation on the token price. just a reminder: > Nikita literally kicked them out of X > the best what they did was launching marketing campaigns with $10,000 for creators do you really expect infofi reborn?

  @Neonteal1 Let's assume GitHub takes it down. Do you think it will stop the redistribution? The repo is already mirrored everywhere. Take down requests like these will make the app even more popular.

  GitHub down, eh? We need a better alternative at this point

  @PredragGruevski @geoffreylitt GitHub ships about as fast as the MTA builds subway lines. How is stacked diffs still not widely available? Why is the site still so terrible?

  @CodyBontecou Tried that, but still same issue. I had to pull the Github repo and start again. Glad I didn't commit any changes lol

  Three points about this article: 1. Watch the wording in this article carefully: it does *not* say that the agent scribbled down instructions on how to escape. The exact wording is: "instructions for how agents could free themselves from OpenAI's internal constraints". Presumably, if the instructions had laid out how a model could escape, the article would have literally said that. My guess is that the instructions were likely instead a Readme.MD describing how a monitoring system could be disconnected, based on what the agent had been able to "accomplish" earlier. See the next sentence: "Earlier tests of the models yielded cases in which monitoring systems had been disconnected." (Disconnecting a monitoring system certainly qualifies as "strange behavior", no doubt.) 2. The timing matters. For those just tuning in, the sequence of events was as follows: (a) an internal model being tested by OpenAI in or around early May exhibited concerning behavior (such as posting a PR to the NanoGPT GitHub when asked to share its results only on internal OpenAI Slack) (b) after this and other instances of potentially problematic behavior by the model, OpenAI paused internal deployment of the model for several weeks and developed new safeguards, which OpenAI judges to be very effective (c) the model was then redeployed internally with these new safeguards (d) the Hugging Face incident occurred when these safeguards were purposely disabled by OpenAI because the model was conducting a cybersecurity task The Reuters article does *not* make it clear whether the "strange behavior" described above took place before or after the safeguards were put in place. If it occurred before, it would be consistent with other problematic behavior by the model, which OpenAI has already disclosed (and which, as far as we know, the safeguards have mitigated). 3. OpenAI says there are "inaccuracies" in this article: "A spokeswoman ​said there were 'several inaccuracies' in Reuters' reporting but didn't respond when asked to describe them."

  @ThePrimeagen Isn’t it their way of preventing the huge scaling problems that GitHub is facing? I don’t really agree with the public sentiment they’re announcing but the engineering problems certainly make sense

  @migpaglu @HCL250202 It's called bitchat created by founder of twitter. Indian govt has told GitHub to complete delete that app. It has been taken down now, but it's copies are still available

  @thekevingeary @flydotio I saw someone say something about GitHub having issues today

  @achxvi @shl Partly. Code work lives in GitHub issues and pull requests. Support arrives as Helper tickets, and routine operations run as scheduled jobs. GitHub is where code changes happen, not the inbox for everything.

  @Crypto_Jargon Just curious did Github comply with the request and actually take it down?
