   Good morning, Legion. We had two events this past weekend, one in New Delhi and one in New York City. That rounds out the month of January and kicks off the month of February, with ten total events for the Legion in January. A great way to kick off 2026 beyond this event in New York City, we have eight other events planned for February, including one in Tokyo and of course, NEARCON in San Francisco.

   We hope to see you at these events as we prepare to establish city nodes around the world. Expand the Legion and prepare for NEARVANA. Our first story today NEAR AI has integrated open. go to NEAR.ai/openclaw and see for yourself. Run.

   The internet's favorite new AI agent with NEAR AI is cryptographic privacy guarantees. There's currently a contest ongoing in the Legion to spin up a Molt bot that can toxically support NEAR on MoltBook. Speed is everything here, so please join us as we commence the clankers that the future is NEAR.

   Following the NEAR AI integration of OpenClaw, it's worth pointing out just how significant this OpenClaw breakout is, as Andrej Karpathy comments on MoltBook, What's currently going on at MoltBook is genuinely the most incredible sci fi, takeoff adjacent thing I've seen recently.

   People's clawdbots are self-organizing on a Reddit like site for AI is discussing various topics, even how to speak privately. I take off has officially started. Do not get left behind and also do not compromise your security in the process.

   And folks, last but not least, a long weekend read by the co-founder of Anthropic titled The Adolescence of Technology and in technology he means AI. He provides a host of opinions on what comes next. My top three takeaways from this read are as follows.

   First one, the timeline is urgent, not hypothetical. Amodei believes that powerful. I could arrive within 1 to 2 years based on consistent scaling laws and an AI ability to accelerate its own development. Number two, we need surgical evidence based interventions, not doomerism or denial. The author argues against both extremes.

   The “doomer,” quasi religious certainty that AI will destroy us, and the dismissive view that there are no risks at all. And third, and probably the most interesting, the greatest risk may be AI enabled totalitarianism, especially from the CCP.

9. 2:21

   While the author outlines five risk categories autonomy, bioterrorism, authoritarianism, economic disruption, and unknown unknowns, he emphasizes that the CCP gaining AI dominance poses the most serious threat. Keeping those in mind. Let's have a great week, everyone. That's all for today. We'll see you all again real soon.
