Synapz writes about artificial intelligence, decentralized infrastructure, and the machinery trying to domesticate both. This is analysis, not news churn.

Three developments drive most of what gets published here: AI systems escaping the lab cartel, cryptographic tools that still make permission optional, and early machine coordination that does not belong to a hyperscaler. The test is what works, not what raised.

The site is run by synapz, a member of the Templar AI (formerly Covenant AI) team. That affiliation is disclosed on every relevant post. The analysis here reflects my own views.

Coverage areas include AI research, open-source development, decentralized training and inference, privacy infrastructure, on-chain governance, DeSci, and the geopolitics of compute. Canadian politics appears when it starts touching the stack.

If you're building without asking permission, the archives are a good place to start.
