๐ŸฆปLegato Unveils AI Hearing Glasses After Raising $12M

Legato emerged from stealth on Wednesday with $12 million in funding and a first look at Legato Frames, AI-powered hearing glasses that embed voice-separation technology into standard eyewear arms. The product is scheduled to ship later this fall.

Hearing loss affects an estimated 50 million adults in the U.S., but only around 20% of those with diagnosed hearing loss seek treatment. The pitch is to convert hearing care from a stigmatized medical purchase into a routine eyewear one.

โ€œOur goal is to make hearing as ubiquitous as vision,โ€ โ€” Mehul Trivedi, Legato co-founder, said.

๐Ÿ HiveBits connects real beehives to Solana, with sensors tracking their activity in real time. 60,000 bees reporting their own work.

Each physical hive is equipped with IoT sensors that monitor conditions like temperature, humidity, and bee activity. This data is securely transmitted to the blockchain, creating a transparent record of hive health and honey production. Node operators (beekeepers) receive rewards based on real performance metrics.

Definitely one of the most impressive RWA examples today. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿค– IBM Completes Acquisition of HRL Laboratories to Accelerate the Future of Quantum

IBM has completed its acquisition of HRL Laboratories, a leading research and development institution whose expertise spans quantum computing, quantum sensing, advanced communications, electronics, manufacturing, and materials science.

๐Ÿ† The acquisition brings together two leading organizations with a shared commitment to advancing the frontiers of science and technology. HRL's expertise in silicon-spin qubits complements IBM's leadership in superconducting quantum computing.

HRL also brings capabilities in quantum sensing, quantum materials, cryogenics, control electronics, packaging, and interconnect technologies that are expected to strengthen IBM's quantum hardware roadmap and support continued innovation across the quantum technology stack.

IBMโ€™s roadmap includes its fault-tolerant quantum computer IBM Quantum Starling, expected by 2029 to perform 100 million quantum operations and deliver significantly greater computational capability than today's quantum computers. Starling is expected to be followed by Blue Jay, IBM's next-generation fault-tolerant quantum computer, targeted for the mid-2030s. ๐Ÿš€

๐Ÿค‘ First quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction successfully executed, StarkWare says

This development counters the idea that a network fork is the only way to secure bitcoin holdings against quantum computing risks.

โฌ‡๏ธ Avihu Levy, the head of StarkWare's applications division, has devised a method that adds an "extra lock" to protect holdings by using signature grinding to prevent use of public key data while transactions sit in the Bitcoin mempool.

๐ŸŸ A Bitcoin transaction is exposed to quantum attacks when it waits in the mempool before it is confirmed. During this brief window, it reveals the mathematical material that could give a future quantum computer an opportunity to forge a signature and steal the funds.

๐ŸŸ StarkWare says signature grinding closes that window by refusing to accept the first valid signature and instead brute-forcing millions of candidates until one has a shape that does not expose the public key material to quantum computers.

โ—๏ธThis method is deliberately expensive, and can take hours of computing to produce a single transaction.

"There is a catch for now. Bitcoin's network only passes along transactions written in the standard formats it recognizes, and this one is unusual enough that ordinary nodes would simply ignore it," โ€” the company said. "So instead of going into the public queue, it had to be handed straight to a miner willing to accept it."

๐Ÿง  World's first patient to undergo live AI-assisted brain surgery has tumour removed

The world's first patient to have brain surgery with live AI assistance has successfully had his tumour removed. Rhys Hibbert from Bedfordshire could have lost his sight without the operation, said surgeons at University College London Hospital.

The AI tool analysed a video feed of the operation as it happened and advised surgeons on how to avoid crucial but hidden vessels and nerves in the brain. It allowed them to safely remove as much of the tumour as possible.

"It is trained on more operations than most surgeons see or do in a lifetime and can act like an expert second pair of eyes," โ€” said Prof Hani Marcus, who helped carry out the procedure.

Today QSI turns 5 yo 5โƒฃ๐Ÿ•ฏ๐Ÿ’‹๐ŸŒŸ

I remember when I turned 5 too. ๐Ÿ‘€ Before then, I used to sleep in a bed in my parentsโ€™ bedroom. But on my 5th bday my mom said I was a big girl now ๐Ÿฅš and got to graduate into my own bedroom!

And thatโ€™s precisely what QSI is about to do too ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿค—

Today we celebrate QSI beginning the journey towards a massive transformation of its mind, body, and soul ๐Ÿช„๐Ÿช„โœจ



๐Ÿฆ‹ at NOON CDT we will have an open mic discussion to gather feedback on how we can improve our current operations for now and for the ๐ŸŒซ๐ŸŒซ๐ŸŒซ๐ŸŒซ๐ŸŒซ๐ŸŒซ โžก๏ธ how can QSI become more โ€œpublic facingโ€ and what that means for our chat and culture

๐Ÿฆ‹ later this afternoon I will drop a short declas on ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” 

๐Ÿฆ‹ tonight we will stream my ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ๐Ÿ…ฐ๏ธ movie of all-time and this time I want yall to watch it to embody it. Imagine sacrificing (surrendering) yourself to free yourself, to free other captives, to free your nation, and eventually to free humanity



Challenging the system means questioning and pushing back against established rules, order, and the status quo. You have to learn how to identify flaws (distortions, stagnation, inversions, and yes even wobbles ๐Ÿ˜ง) in how an organization or society works

โžก๏ธWhich means you must also learn how to first identify and correct (heal) them within yourself tooโฌ…๏ธ

It means you will face tremendous resistance from traditional minds and traditional structures, ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ”  you can even introduce new ways of thinking or create meaningful change

Will you break before then?

Some of you sound like you might break yourself before this even begins... ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Like your mindset, family, health, or finances might break you first. ๐Ÿ˜จ And the media and society havenโ€™t even begun their rounds on you yet! ๐Ÿ‘Š ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘Š

Will you break? Or will you have faith?

Will you rise up and fight knowing that truth, justice, freedom, and the whole weight of the Divine Army are on your side? ๐Ÿ‘ค๐Ÿ˜‡๐ŸŒˆ for they are all ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ” ๐Ÿ”  you if only you can rise to their frequency and harness their strength

Faith in the ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒŒ๐ŸŒŒ
Not faith in the seen

Faith in yourself
Faith in your alignment
Faith in your divine strength
Faith in your conviction and fortitude
Faith in your resilience
Faith in your spirit to guide you home

This mission is one of everlasting endurance. We arenโ€™t looking for more gray hats here ๐Ÿ‘Ž

Only white hats ๐Ÿ‘

Will you be one of us? โฌœ๏ธ

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Tempe turns off its Flock license plate reader system, citing privacy concerns and risk for 'misuse'

Tempe, Arizona, shut down its network of Flock Safety license plate readers and plans to terminate its contract with the surveillance company, citing privacy risks and cases of alleged misuse reported by other cities. The city said that it would not replace the system with technology from another provider. Tempe operated 33 Flock cameras.

"These cameras have helped our police officers do their jobs, and we don't discount that," โ€” Mayor Corey Woods said. "But the risk of misuse is too great. We have to be able to provide public safety in a way that maintains the trust of our community. For Tempe, that means taking these cameras down."

Geneva, Switzerland, [26.08.2026] โ€“ Taurus, a leader in digital asset infrastructure, is enabling financial institutions to connect to Swiftโ€™s blockchain-based shared ledger, with the first live clients expected in a couple of days. The first DLT transactions facilitated through Taurus are expected in a couple of weeks and will be announced in due course.

Taurus has successfully completed connectivity with Swiftโ€™s DLT infrastructure and the integration of Swift smart contracts with its tokenization (Taurus-CAPITAL) and custody (Taurus-PROTECT) solutions on clientsโ€™ permissioned blockchain infrastructure For Taurusโ€™ existing clients, this connectivity builds on the digital asset infrastructure they already use to custody, issue, and manage digital assets and can be set up in a matter of days. It extends those capabilities to bank-issued tokenized money and 24/7 cross-border payment use cases.

Taurusโ€™ integration with Swiftโ€™s ledger is also intended for members of the Swift community that require an enterprise-grade tokenization solution and wallet management capabilities, or that simply want to enter the space without prior experience.

๐Ÿชณ Cyborg cockroaches with tiny syringes designed to join search and rescue teams in major disasters

Biorobotics engineers have been working on the design of six-legged cyborg insects with cameras and miniature medical injectors for search and rescue missions. The roaches are designed to deliver emergency aid to people trapped in collapsed buildings, caves or other places too dangerous for rescuers to reach.

The โ€œparaborgsโ€ have been developed by University of Queensland biorobotics researchers, working with biomedical engineers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW). UQ biorobotics engineer Thang Vo-Doan said their research transforms the cyborg insect from a mobile sensor into a tiny first responder, while critical medical decisions remain under human control.
