@spencerpratt This is so unbelievably based

@Architect9000 Sadly this is working, I had no idea this movie existed before this

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

I kinda love everything about this https://t.co/fKrEyynbcX @FuluFoundation

@ns123abc lol do not take legal advice from this account

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@andreysuperior This is so obviously entirely fake

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@Architect9000 You got invites?

[kache @yacineMTB]

I cannot stand this uninspired bullshit ad shooting style. You are a startup founder. Take out a phone and record yourself talking like a normal human being. You are literally just a person. You are ctrl cing the "personal" directing why don't you actually be personal??

@banteg Had a similar experience a few months back, complete vaporware.

@jonahseguin Man at this point YC is an anti-signal. The new formula is AI wrapper and hyped up marketing videos. Avoid using any of these companies’ services.

Look guys, it's actually really straightforward, a bunch of people staked their ETH on the Ethereum blockchain to earn yield, except they didn't want their capital to be locked up, so they actually staked with a liquid staking protocol called Lido who provided them a liquid staking receipt token called stETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their stETH receipt tokens into a restaking protocol called Eigenlayer, except they didn't want to lock up their capital, so they actually restaked with a liquid restaking protocol called KelpDAO who provided them with a liquid restaking receipt token called rsETH, except they decided to juice their yield further by depositing their rsETH tokens into a lending protocol called Aave so that they could open a leveraged looping position that borrows ETH against the rsETH collateral and restakes the ETH into rsETH which is then deposited as collateral, except it turns out rsETH used a cross-chain bridge called LayerZero that was hacked by north koreans causing rsETH to become undercollateralized and now these looping positions are stuck and unprofitable, and everyone is pointing fingers at each other, and also DeFi is a very serious industry

@Jason @LAUNCH lol you can already do this with Codex/Claude/etc. Just another DOA AI wrapper

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@gajesh @eigencloud Nice, would love to try this out to see how it performs

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@aleabitoreddit Agree with the broader point, but I’ve worked on the team at $COIN responsible for the OCC charter, there would be a revolt at the company if they tried to sell out the industry in this regard

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@open_founder @OpenAI Somehow this keeps showing up in my feed, so I’m taking that as a sign to inform people that this is clearly a scam designed to pump a token and not to engage

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

When you don’t understand the fundamental signs of AI writing, it’s not just lazy, it’s disrespectful to your reader.

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

@karunkaushik_ lol have fun in jail

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

This is awesome, I remember working on a similar problem ~8 years ago that used a similar canvas measureText approach, but since we were focused on Latin languages at the time I ended up pre-computing character pair widths which gave us the kerning values that could then be used to do all the text measurements

@stevibe I really like this test, going to try running this on the Nemotron fam later

@DharmiKumbhani @mpp @tempo buy a prompt injection vector for only 10¢!

[Adam Zmenak @AdamZmenak]

We have entered the “computer” / claw product era of worthless AI startups. Have yet to see a commercially compelling use case beyond churning out a pipeline of AI marketing slop
