Meta Will Use Public Data From Adults In The Uk For Artificial Intelligence Training
Meta will start using publicly shared content from adult users in the UK on Facebook and Instagram to train its artificial intelligence models. The company will assess publicly available information, such as posts, comments, photos, and descriptions, from users on both platforms.
Meta emphasized that its AI is designed to reflect diverse global communities and plans to expand its AI initiatives to more countries and languages later this year. The company clarified that it does not use data from accounts of individuals under 18 in the UK.
In July, Meta halted AI assistant deployments in the EU following an order from the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) due to data privacy concerns. Meta claims it uses Facebook and Instagram user data with their consent and offers an option to opt out.
UK-based adults on Facebook and Instagram will receive in-app notifications detailing Meta's data usage practices and offering an option to object to the use of their data for AI training. Meta stated that it will accept all existing and new objection forms.
The DPC, responsible for enforcing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is intensifying its oversight. On September 12, it launched a cross-border investigation into Google Ireland Limited to determine if it complies with EU data protection laws in developing its AI models.
The investigation will focus on the use of EU citizens' personal data in training Google’s advanced language model, Pathways Language Model 2 (PaLM2), introduced on May 10, 2023.
The DPC also investigated the social media platform X and concluded the investigation after X agreed to meet the necessary compliance standards. On September 4, X agreed to stop using personal data of EU and European Economic Area (EEA) users to train its AI chatbot, Grok.

After the euphoric highs of Q2, fear and doubt have crept back into crypto markets in recent months.
Amidst the uncertainty Solana’s DeFi ecosystem has shed layers of TVL (Total Value Locked), with the majority of protocol’s losing between 13-18% in USD value on a monthly time frame.
However, despite the market-wide pullback, outperformers have emerged. Which protocols created a liquidity vacuum and expanded their TVL despite ailing markets?
NX FINANCE, LULO LEAD MONTHLY TVL GROWTH
Solana’s DeFi scene has enjoyed newfound momentum and attention throughout 2024. However, the last 30 days indicate a charge in sentiment, with the bulk of Solana protocols suffering significant drops in their TVL.
Despite challenging conditions, several outliers have outperformed the wider market and witnessed continued growth in the face of adversity.
Lending aggregator NX Finance led the charge, enjoying consistent growth in the face of difficult markets. Courtesy of its incentivized rewards program, NX Finance TVL rose 65% in the last 30 days, leading Solana’s top 50 DeFi applications by TVL.
Meanwhile, fellow lending aggregator Lulo Finance continued to rise through the ranks, securing over $30M in Directed Liquidity (DL). With over 92% of its DL, a similar metric similar to TVL, held in stablecoins, Lulo-managed value has increased by 32.27% in the last 30 days.
At first glance, DeFiLlama data suggests that Jupiter’s TVL has risen by 47.22% in the last 30 days. However, this increase is due to the popular analytics platform integrating $jupSOL into Jupiter’s total TVL on August 16, adding approximately $300M worth of funds to the platform.
According to Step Finance data, $jupSOL supply has risen 0.36% in the last 30 days. Coupled with the 2.22% decline in Jupiter perpetual TVL in the same time period, it can be concluded that Jupiter’s total TVL has remained relatively stable in the face of challenging market conditions.
Kamino TVL Climbs Despite Falling Prices
Kamino Finance has been one of Solana DeFi’s most solid performers throughout Q3’s volatility. While lending aggregators like NX Finance and Lulo predominantly hold stablecoins, making them more resilient to market downturn, Kamino accepts deposits from a wider range of more volatile assets.
Despite falling asset prices across the industry, Kamino has emerged as one of Solana’s standout DeFi protocols.
While $SOL price has dropped over 36% since its March 18 high of $202 , Kamino TVL has increased by 12% in USD terms. Denominated in SOL, Kamino TVL has risen by 76% in the same time frame.
JUPITER DOMINATES PERPETUAL TVL ACROSS THE INDUSTRY
Jupiter’s perpetual DEX platform shows no sign of relinquishing its iron grip on derivatives dominance. One of Solana’s largest DeFi protocols, Jupiter’s perpetual DEX is currently the largest onchain derivatives market in the crypto industry.
Boasting over $657M in TVL, Jupiter dominates perpetual market share. According to DeFiLlama data, the Solana-based platform currently accounts for 18.82% of onchain derivatives TVL across the industry.
While Jupiter boasts the highest TVL across all perpetual DEXes, its closest rival still witnesses higher trading volumes. During August, Hyperliquid handled $34 .6B in trading volume compared to Jupiter’s $15 .1B. It’s worth noting that Hyperliquid’s high volume could attributed to its points program, which is expected to influence token allocations ahead of the protocol’s upcoming airdrop

Afa Anoaʻi dies a few weeks ago, his brother Sika died a few months ago.
As an old school WWF fan I feel I should acknowledge this.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
This is crazy:
Interest expenses on the US federal debt have surpassed a RECORD of $3 billion PER DAY.
TRIPLING the amount paid 10 years ago and DOUBLING the amount paid just 2.5 years ago 😅💸
The bubble just keeps getting bigger, and the worst thing is that they are not doing anything to try to stop it...
Thanks Satoshi for getting us out of this... #Bitcoin

BullVerse Update
BullPad
There have been numerous inquiries regarding BullPad, and we would like to address them. After careful consideration, the team has decided that launching BullPad at this time would not be beneficial. The market sentiment remains highly bearish, trading volumes across financial markets are low, and overall uncertainty persists. Furthermore, Pump.fun’s volume has decreased by 95% from its all-time high. All signs indicate that this is not the ideal time to release a launchpad. However, we remain fully committed to launching it when market conditions are more favorable.
BullPay
BullPay is currently in beta (available at bullpay.fun). As well-needed solution in the space, it is connected to a lot of upcoming features inisde the platform. BullPay will serve not only as a marketplace but also as a crypto payment gateway, like Stripe or PayPal for crypto transactions. We developed an API kit allowing our partners to get paid from their website or mobile app.
Activity Rewards & User Experience
We are still working on developing a sustainable, more gamified and automated solution for activity rewards. Once this is finalized, we will announce it, and automated payouts will resume.
The BullVerse Ecosystem
It’s important to note that BullVerse is a long-term project. We are continually enhancing user, partner, and community engagement. As with any major project, development will unfold progressively rather than all at once.
Communication
The team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to improve the BullVerse ecosystem daily. Many individuals are involved, and significant resources have been invested in this project. Our commitment is unwavering, and we continue to expand our network by forming strategic partnerships, which are crucial for long-term growth. The vision is clear and we are enjoying the journey.
Teasers
Our primary focus has been on laying a strong foundation by creating a stable platform that incorporates both incentives and crypto utilities. Our main goal is to deliver a clear and practical use case that attracts the visibility BullVerse deserves. As a utility project, we view this as a key driver of our success: BullVerse should not just be about content, but also a hub where crypto enthusiasts can speculate, win, lose, be rewarded, and find their community. Something exciting is coming very soon..
Bullish times are ahead,

I don't think you guys understand what an actual bullmarket looks like
every single altcoin on a CEX 5-50% up on the day. persistently rotating for 3-5 days, a quick 24h correction, resume
for months
masses collectively throwing high 8 figures into every yield ponzi there is
BTC rallying so hard it paralyzes the entire market, but at first sign of consolidation alts absolutely rip
BTC consolidations after face-melting rallies are met with complete reset in OI/funding. one can not believe their eyes. price while derivatives cool off? fucking sideways - local TA gurus call bullflags. resume up shortly.
once BTC is done, ETH pulls an ever stronger rally, you'd think it was a 100M mcap memetic being shilled by local cabal. brings the entire market up, altcoins start having weeks, months of inhumane moves
the only caviat are devastating short-term corrections to wipe the leverage, alas, riding longs from much lower and/or longing these wicks is a 99% safe play. hell, I'd say 100%, but some of you will 100x leverage an altcoin if I say that.
your spot bags? depending on where you're at in your journey, you're looking at watches, boats, planes, houses. hell, some will probably be looking to buy islands and superyachts.
and if you think, just for a second, you can come up with an actual good reason we're not getting that again for at least few months in the near future, you're delusional.
your downside risk is 50, 70%. boo-hoo. your upside is generational wealth that will make every ex-girlfriend pull their hair out for losing you.
strap in, because it's coming, this time is indeed not fucking different. I advise against listening to influencers that already made it and are here to unload their seed investments on you
I don't need to do that, I'll unload on the tourists at the top.

RIP to everyone who listened to the "pseudo experts" who said:
"SHORT #Ethereum and #Bitcoin , they will sell the news! #Ethereum and #Bitcoin go to the cellar 🤡 "
Tell yourself one thing:
🔹 If everyone thinks something, the market will do the opposite.
🔹 Institutions will always do everything to do the opposite of what they let you see.
⚠️ The masses are wrong 9 times out of 10, do the opposite of retail, follow the money.
We don't trade what we think, but what we see on the charts and on the onchain. So, stop relying on “influvoleurs” who tell you “I think that”, “maybe”, “we will go up but maybe we will go down”.

AMERICA AND BITCOIN
A historical speech. Here is Donald Trump's full speech at the Bitcoin Conference with timestamps and transcript.
TIMESTAMPS
1:36 - Shoutouts to David Bailey, Winklevosses, Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Ron Paul and Rand Paul, Vivek, and the victims of the July 13 assassination attempt.
7:00 - How Bitcoin rose from an idea on an anonymous message board to the 9th most valuable asset in the world.
10:00 - America is a nation in decline, and we cannot let China dominate Bitcoin. The US must lead in tech, science, manufacturing, AI, space, and power generation.
14:50 - Bitcoin will be mined, minted, and made in the USA. If it goes to the moon, it'll get there from America.
16:20 - How the Biden/Harris administration has waged war on crypto for the last three and a half years, by choking off banking support.
22:00 - The Biden/Harris administration is against Bitcoin, because it stands for freedom, sovereignty, and independence from government coercion and control.
25:00 - The day Trump takes the oath of office, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren's anti-crypto crusade will be done. He will fire Gary Gensler on day one!
27:57 - Trump commits to immediately shutting down Operation Chokepoint 2.0, and creating a Bitcoin and Crypto Presidential Advisory Council. In 100 days, fair rules written by people who want crypto to thrive.
29:28 - There will never be a CBDC. And he will defend the right to self-custody, freedom of transaction, freedom of association, and freedom of speech.
30:25 - He'll support USD stablecoins and global savings in Bitcoin. And he recognizes that the behavior of the current US government is the threat to the dollar, not Bitcoin.
35:30 - Biden/Harris has presided over the biggest inflation in the history of America.
38:30 - Inflation destroyed Weimar Germany. Bitcoiners understood inflation better than anyone else. Inflation is stealth taxation, a national disgrace.
43:30 - Make the US the lowest cost energy producer in the world, given its natural resources, and turn it into a Bitcoin mining powerhouse. Americans will not need to move to China.
44:20 - The US government has violated the cardinal rule: never sell your Bitcoin. He will stop the US government from selling its Bitcoin. This will serve as the core of the strategic national Bitcoin stockpile.
46:00 - He will commute the life sentence of Ross Ulbricht to time served.
46:26 - He commits to becoming the pro-innovation, pro-Bitcoin, and pro-tech president that America deserves. And will make America and Bitcoin stronger, richer, freer, and greater than ever before.

AN IN-DEPTH REPORT ON THE STATE OF SOLANA.
The Q2 TLDR? Builders kept building. Here’s some highlights you won’t want to miss:
1. The institutions are coming
Stripe demoed their upcoming payments solution on Solana using Phantom, and PayPal issued their PYUSD stablecoin on Solana. PayPal cited token extensions as a key reason for expanding to Solana — one extension, transfer hooks, enables developers to add custom programmable logic to each transfer.
2. PayFi has arrived
Helio's Solana Pay Plugin on Shopify saved Solana Labs over $1 million in fees for Chapter2 sales compared to traditional payment methods. Now, it's even more versatile: Users can pay in their preferred token, near-instantly swapping to the merchant's preferred currency via Jupiter.
3. Solana is coming to you (not the other way around)
Have a Google account? Congrats, you now have a Solana wallet thanks to TipLink’s Wallet Adapter. No downloads, no seed phrases, no fuss.
And if that wasn’t enough, blinks connected Solana to the entire internet, bringing Solana to millions of active X users. Now, you can vote, mint, swap, and donate directly from your feed. Growth is accelerating: Messari reported blinks for over 20 dApps like Helium, Sphere, and Tensor at publication, while Dialect’s registry shows nearly 100 blinks today.
If you’re looking to build with blinks, Solana Foundation is offering $400k in grants, while Dialect and Superteam have $1k microgrants available.
4. The ecosystem is working hard on scaling solutions
ZK compression, pioneered by Light Protocol and Helius Labs, went live on testnet and drops the state cost for 1M addresses by ~99.9% by storing data via the ledger.
MagicBlock unveiled MagicBlock Engine, which enhances SVM customizability and performance without sacrificing composability. It implements ephemeral rollups: temporary runtimes that mirror programs and accounts from mainnet to improve efficiency before settling state back on Solana. The best part? It's all abstracted away from the user.
5. Solana DeFi is happening, led by LST growth
Liquid staking rate jumped from 5.2% to 6.4%, with Sanctum's LST market share exploding 3,700% QoQ.

Crypto Community Smug About Global IT Outage, But Does Blockchain Actually Fix This?
A software bug invoked international hysteria when a bug in a Windows content update shut down banks, airlines, and emergency services.
Showcasing the world’s reliance on centralized systems, a global IT outage brought the world to its knees. Across the planet, major service providers like banks, supermarkets, and logistics companies found themselves unable to operate, causing significant disruption.
Eager to prove its relevance, the crypto community was quick to launch a tirade of smug comments. “Crypto fixes this” was heard across social media platforms, with crypto advocates championing blockchain as an obvious solution to singular points of failure.
But is that truly the case? While decentralization aims to eliminate centralized points of failure, would blockchain solutions actually have prevented this widespread technical meltdown?
What Happened?
The chaos began when CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity provider, pushed a defective single content update to Windows hosts. The bug affected millions of Microsoft Windows devices all over the world, causing infinite reboot loops and leaving users staring at Windows’ infamous BSoD (Blue Screen of Death).
Attempting to bring clarity to the situation CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz, released a statement on 𝕏. Assuring affected users that “this is not a security incident or cyberhack”, the CEO claims that “the issue has been identified, isolated, and a fix has been deployed”.
While Kurtz has indicated that a fix has been deployed, Windows users globally report still being unable to access their devices.
Fortunately, savvy developers were on hand to remedy the situation and provide timely solutions.
Affected users can reboot their Windows devices in Safe Mode and delete the defective update file, or wait until CrowdStrike implemented resolution is distributed.
CRWD stock
In traditional markets, CrowdStrike stock (CRWD) suffered a crippling blow, down 8.82% in today’s trading, based on NASDAQ data. While this might seem insignificant when compared to crypto’s volatility, price movements of this scale are uncommon in traditional markets.
Does Crypto Really Fix This?
The crypto community wasted no time calling out the flaws of centralized systems and singular points of failure. Citing mass outages like today’s as evidence that decentralized systems are the future of infrastructure, crypto advocates were quick to leverage the event as an example of “Bitcoin fixes this”.
However, not all pockets of the crypto community were in agreement. Several blockchain developers and engineers highlighted that in this specific example, pushing bugged code to production would likely have the same effect to blockchain networks.
Despite the specifics and technicalities, the event serves as a powerful reminder of the flaws in centralized services and singular points of failure. Commentators remarked that society’s reliance on centralized companies and infrastructure providers doesn’t bode well for our future.
This belief reinforces the viability of DePin technology, which aims to distribute services across a variety of independent providers and establish more secure and reliable infrastructure. Frank Mathis, founder of GenesysGo, highlights the importance of conducting rigorous security checks before pushing software updates.
Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology may not have been a direct solution to this particular problem. However, global outages like the CrowdStrike defect help to promote discussion around the benefits of decentralization and distributed systems.

If you abort a baby boy that is one less man in society.
That is one less soldier that can be conscripted by the government against his will and sent to fight and die in a war to protect you.
When the call comes for us to enlist, what if we cry "my body my choice"?
