🚨 BREAKING: TikTok US Deal Finalized Oracle, Silver Lake and Andreessen Horowitz will control TikTok’s US operations under a new 80/20 framework with ByteDance. The impossible just happened: • 80% US-owned (Oracle + Silver Lake + A16z + legacy investors) • 20%

Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io Which blockchains are actually relying on TEEs though, or other high-stakes usecases where zk/mpc could be used instead? I really only know Secret Network but it looks like TEEs became a punch bag for all the zk projects and it's sad to see. Like really nobody's putting

Do you know? - MPC uses TEE - Oursourced ZK uses TEE - zkTLS over MPC uses TEE - FHE over MPC uses TEE

if we view TEE as a performant module, a hardware-accelerated framework within the broader family of PETs, it’s less about being a “perfect solution” and more about being a “better balance.” The goal isn’t perfection, but designing the extra layers around it to improve resilience

One day, if CEXs have verifiable transparency, would it be a better market?

Offchain data could also be verifiable if we could inject database into a Trusted Confidential Environment

The market is fragile and opaque. Responsible media should use data to uncover the truth, maybe not full transparency, but certainly beyond the status quo

🔎 RESEARCH: New orderbook data reveals what really happened on Oct 10, when more than $19B was wiped out in crypto’s largest liquidation event. Binance relied on its internal pricing to value USDE, bnSOL, and wBETH collateral instead of external oracles, raising serious risk

Proof of Reputation reminds me of the Black Mirror episode called Nosedive :)

Compliance —> Privacy —> User’s Data Sovereignty

⚡️ BIG: Bloomberg reports OpenAI is building an “AI banker” called Project Mercury to automate financial modeling with help from over 100 former Wall Street analysts.

Instead of selectively highlighting certain technologies’ vulnerabilities while overlooking the benefits they bring, we view PETs as a modular ecosystem rather than isolated solutions. Privacy doesn’t have to rely on a single stack, different techs, or even combinations of them,

Picked this guy up a few months ago. Been investing in the space since 2013, and now excited to join one of crypto's most impactful communities. gm!

Actually what Now @zama built is great work. But this post sounds like: “Let’s stop using electricity until nuclear fusion is ready.”

Some crypto angle should be a good fit in here imo, e.g. stablecoin payment for global labor market

Should have replaced handle Rena Labs with a QR code for ppl

On-device (phone) is capable somehow, but not capable for “real” AI on your phone, where, Private Compute is becoming an inevitable trend

Should we have a rankboard evaluating the “fairness score” of different launchpad?

Intuit will spend more than $100 million on a multiyear contract with OpenAI to further weave the ChatGPT maker’s artificial intelligence models into financial apps like TurboTax bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
