SBF and his team are arguing in their motion in limine that any evidence from discovery produced to the defense after July 1 should be excluded, accusing the government of failing to meet discovery deadlines.

They say that the government produced 750,000 pages of Slack messages from Gary Wang's laptop on August 11, and that they won't have time to go through that quantity of material by the trial date (less than two months away)

anyone have any good suggestions for lightweight local testing when implementing ActivityPub? would be nice to test signature verification and simulate various activities without spinning up a whole local Mastodon server or prematurely deploying my super alpha software

The government is alleging that Sam Bankman-Fried shared diary entries by Alameda CEO and former girlfriend Caroline Ellison with the NYT. They describe this as "selectively sharing" documents in an attempt to portray her as a "jilted lover who perpetrated these crimes alone".

The government is concerned this may taint the jury pool and intimidate other potential witnesses. They're seeking an order to limit his extrajudicial statements. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/66631292/176/united-states-v-bankman-fried/

Binance is seeking a protective order against the SEC, claiming that they are conducting a "fishing expedition".

"[Binance] has worked in good faith, but the SEC has been steadfast in its belief that the Consent Order gives it carte blanche to investigate every aspect of [Binance]’s asset custody practices without any discernible limitation whatsoever."

this story that "someone is using AI to spread disinformation about Changpeng Zhao of Binance" is going around crypto media, in reports mostly based on this Fortune Crypto article.

what is the claim here, that someone somehow intentionally seeded ChatGPT with false info? that congresspeople are asking ChatGPT if CZ is a communist and then sending formal inquiries? that someone is sending congresspeople ChatGPT printouts with false info, and they're taking them seriously?

in hindsight, snark via strikethrough may have been a tactical error on my part

Screenshot of text from a separate article: "We’ll close our coverage with the line of the day from tech blogger/Wikipedia super-editor Molly White: 'Finally, people will be able to turn their money into an anonymous peer-to peer asset outside of government control, to which they own their own keys and thus control completely, without having to involve powerful financial institutions like BlackRock.'" None of the text is struck out.

When people say you should "own your own data", or that the future of the web is "ownership", what does that mean?

We need to talk about digital ownership.

In the criminal trial against Sam Bankman-Fried, the judge just granted the USA's motions to exclude testimony from all seven expert witnesses he has proposed.

The motion by SBF to exclude the government's one proposed witness, accounting professor Peter Easton, was denied.
