The NIP-05 record is served from /.well-known/nostr.json. If a message claims to be from synapz and is not signed by this key, it is not from synapz.

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.
