Christmas came early for Point validators! Delegation of locked treasury tokens to validators is finalized:

1. Being a validator no longer altruistic, infra subsidized until network matures
2. Less power to top validators
3. Token bleed from too much staking inflation stopped

We hope they will use it responsibly, invite other validators, and perhaps become ambassadors and help spread the word about Point, now that incentives are aligned even more!

Elon Twitter drama today:

- Elon banned ElonJet account posting Elon’s private jet movements
- Journalists reported on it
- Elon banned journalists’ accounts
- They were still able to use Twitter Spaces, so they created one to chat
- Elon joined, was confronted by them
- He exited and suspended Twitter Spaces feature for the whole Twitter, making all Twitter Spaces offline (including that one)
- He banned all Twitter users from pasting any links to Mastodon, alternative social media

Our conclusion:

Reportedly, the smallest Point Alpaca 7B is better and more natural sounding than the largest Alpaca-LoRA (30B)
