The science of manipulation

Classical economic theory assumes people act rationally and strive to maximise their gains. Yet a strand of scholarship disputes this, pointing out that people often act irrationally, swayed by emotions, biases and cognitive limits. In this ForkLog article, we examine how behavioural economics has changed the way we think about human action, why it became […]

Dormant means ownerless

In early August, some media outlets reported that a “revived investment bank, Salomon Brothers” intended to access bitcoin addresses it deems abandoned. The company used OP_RETURN, a standard mechanism for embedding arbitrary data in transactions. The initiative’s stated aim is to shield funds from criminals and “rogue states”, with the legal basis said to be […]

Not only in Russia, but across the world, regulation of the open internet has tightened in recent years. The result is that the global web is starting to fray before our eyes.

A financial reboot—or another crisis?

In recent years the financial system has been hit by ever more frequent and unpredictable shocks that undermine its resilience. Classic support measures no longer deliver, and talk of another global crisis is growing louder. Against this backdrop, the adoption by TradFi of technological novelties—digital currencies, tokenised assets, blockchain platforms and the like—looks logical. On […]

Silicon Tanks: Ted Nelson’s Vision

Ted Nelson is a man who foresaw the future of the internet long before it came into being. He introduced the terms “hypertext” and “hypermedia,” which became the foundation of the World Wide Web. However, the internet we use today is but a pale and distorted shadow of the philosopher’s original vision. Nelson dreamed of […]

The chat sovereign

The very phrase “sovereign AI” evokes authoritarian regimes few would choose to inhabit. Yet “global artificial intelligence” conjures its own spectres: digital colonialism and other delights of a brave new world. Why, in AI development, both notions are largely meaningless and serve chiefly as tools of manipulation is the subject of this ForkLog essay by […]

A Bridge in Need of a Hero

Bridging functions like quantum teleportation: the coin does not physically move anywhere—it is locked in the source network, while an equivalent amount appears in the destination network. For this to happen, both sides must be perfectly synchronized. Messaging comes to the rescue here, allowing the bridge to inform the destination network of events in the […]
