Albania Just Created the World's Most Dangerous Experiment

Albania didn't just dip its toes into AI governance - they cannonballed into the deep end by appointing "Diella" as the world's first AI cabinet minister.

This virtual avatar now controls all government procurement contracts, evaluating and awarding public tenders where the state hires private firms. Prime Minister Edi Rama claims she'll eliminate bribes and corruption through pure algorithmic decision-making.

The government promises Diella will process requests via voice commands while serving citizens through Albania's digital portal. But here's the terrifying part: they haven't detailed what human oversight exists.

This isn't gradual AI integration - it's handing nuclear-level authority to technology that hallucinates, gets manipulated, and operates as a black box. Current AI systems are brilliant tools but catastrophically unfit for unsupervised government control.

The brutal reality: Albania just became the world's guinea pig for AI governance. When this backfires spectacularly - and it will - every other nation will learn exactly why human judgment still matters in life-or-death decisions.

Watch this space. History is about to provide a masterclass in "what not to do."

TODAY IN CRYPTO

Alt Season Just Went Official (With a Twist)

The numbers don't lie: 75% of top 50 cryptocurrencies outperformed Bitcoin over 90 days. We're officially in alt season.

But here's the uncomfortable truth - this flip happened because Bitcoin dropped while alts stayed flat. We're in alt season on a technicality, not explosive growth.

Real alt season magic happens when Bitcoin rises but alts rocket faster. That face-melting territory where portfolios double weekly.

The momentum indicators are stacking up perfectly though. Memecoins like XRP, DOGE, BONK, and TRUMP hit US TradFi exchanges tomorrow, opening institutional floodgates.

Forward Industries just closed their $1.65B Solana treasury raise. Next step: buy metric tons of SOL and trigger the supply shock everyone's been anticipating.

Plus today's CPI data met expectations, giving the Fed another excuse to cut rates this month.

The setup is textbook perfect: Alt season declared, TradFi money incoming, massive SOL buying pressure, and Fed accommodation.

Crypto prices haven't moved much yet, but the inertia building behind the scenes is undeniable. Q4 is looking like the quarter where patience gets rewarded brutally.
