   Good morning Legion. Welcome back from the holidays. We're back in business and ready for a huge 2026 for the NEAR ecosystem. A big part of that will be delivering a clear narrative around the value proposition of NEAR. In other words, storytelling. Is NEAR encrypted intelligence.

   Unstoppable AI, Binance 2.0 or something else entirely? Let's see what the marketing team lands on. But rest assured, this is top of the priority list to start the year. Also, starting January 1st, the Gospel of NEAR will drop.

3. 0:30

   This is a daily ritual for our community to become familiar with the core tenets of NEAR’s version of AI, and to help spread the word of why NEAR is the AI play of the future at the many different events and meetups that are coming in 2026.

   The plan is straightforward preach the gospel and DCA NEAR before everyone else figures out what NEAR is all about. Now for our AI stories. As a reminder, half the battle and building awareness of NEAR is also in building awareness of how rapidly things are changing on the AI front.

   Artificial superintelligence is fast emerging. Will it arrive in 2026? Doubtful, but we'll still be documenting the latest and most important AI stories for you to follow and educate yourselves on. Starting with this story from before the holidays, straight from the Spectator and not mincing any words, I will kill all lawyers.

   Well, I'm sure many of you may have thought about this before. The point of the article is that this trend is accelerating. They submitted a complex case to an AI and it deliver, quote, the best possible legal document. All done in seconds for pennies.

7. 1:31

   How can any of us compete? We can't. We'll continue to track the evolution of AI legal assistance to the AI legal take over this year especially. Our second story of the day is equally dramatic in its proclamations of how AI is going to transform the world as we know it.

8. 1:46

   Elon doubles down on money going away, or at least declining in importance. With the advent of robotics and AI, as he says, I think money disappears as a concept honestly. It's kind of strange. But in a future where anyone can have anything, you no longer need money as a database for labor allocation.

9. 2:02

   If AI and robotics are big enough to satisfy all human needs, then money is no longer necessary. Its relevance declines dramatically. The question for all of us is whether this will have some safety net for the unproductive humans, or whether we're entering a new neo feudal era.

10. 2:17

    NEARvana remains a third option. And last but not least, our final story of the day. Listening closely to Demis Hassabis, a Nobel laureate and scientist who believes that AGI is the most transformative moment in human history and that it's on the horizon. getting society ready for what's to come.

11. 2:36

    You know, AGI, probably the most transformative moment in human history is on the horizon. And we need to get prepared as a society and as a species. And I think, of course, governments and other important people, other important leaders are going to be critical in that.

12. 2:53

    And I think having having something like the Nobel platform opens pretty much any door. That's all for today. We'll do this all again real soon.
