Sci-Hub is an evil website that pirated 85M+ research papers and made them freely available
And now they've added AI to their database to make Sci-Bot.
It answers your questions using latest, full-text articles.
But DO NOT use it. We should all try to make billion-dollar academic publishers richer.
I'm putting the link below so you know how to avoid it.
I had almost the same on Wednesday...
Everything was super smooth: embeddings and links looked completely natural, Pierre's face was exactly as I know him from real life. Even the "Teams SDK is outdated" part is technically true, it's on the official site.
Don't trust, verify.
My laptop got hacked yesterday by someone claiming to be Pierre from the Cardano Foundation.
I have had a relationship with Pierre in the past, we've talked, we've video called.
He reached out to me for a new call, asking about Atrium.
I responded and setup a call for the next day. In the invite, there was a Microsoft Teams link to join.
I joined, I saw Pierres face, his voice, and two other CF members in the call.(I now think this was AI)
It was lagging a bit, and said my Teams software was out of date. It kicked me out and said that I needed to install the new Teams software through the Microsoft Terminal. I stupidly did this, but my laptop was dying so I shut it off immediately. I never use Teams so I thought this was normal.
I messaged him and told him let's just use Google Meets, created the call, and sent the link. He said he got busy and asked me to reschedule.
I have now realized that this was all fake, and a scam.
Moral of the story, be careful. Trust nothing, trust no one.
AI is making scamming more sophisticated, and as someone who is quite technical savvy, I just got cooked.
Last month everyone was crying that DeFi yields had dropped below a savings account.
#KelpDAO fixed that. #AAVE hit 32% APY on DAI. 80% yesterday.
Careful what you wish for.
Quex is live on 0G mainnet.
@quex_tech now powers verifiable access to private and public offchain data on 0G using TEE-backed oracles.
This gives developers a secure way to bring real-world data and AI outputs onchain with hardware attestation and onchain verification, without trusting operators.
DEXes are back, and they’re doing serious volume
The last Founders Show explored how decentralized exchanges scaled to hundreds of billions, why retail is moving on-chain, and what still blocks institutional adoption
1/Here are the top insights from the discussion⤵️

DEXs will only surpass CEXs if they prioritize user experience according to @DmitryMeshkov from @quex_tech
By abstracting crypto complexity and offering seamless fiat-to-crypto solutions, they can onboard everyday users at scale and outperform centralized exchanges
If DEXs want mass adoption, what actually matters more: speed, incentives, or usability?
@DmitryMeshkov's take: the next-gen DEX shouldn’t feel like crypto at all. Execution, custody, and UX decide everything.
Thoughts?
Portfolio momentum across infrastructure, DeFi, and data! Our companies are shipping the picks and shovels that make crypto work and scale:
🔺@chainalysis expands pricing coverage with @coingecko integration across tens of thousands of tokens on EVM and Solana, strengthening data quality for institutional clients.
🔺@dfnsHQ scales wallet infrastructure to @flow_blockchain, @CantonNetwork, and the UAE with programmable custody that meets local compliance requirements.
🔺@limewire unifies its stack under one brand, clarifying the product narrative ahead of launch.
🔺@LoftOrbital confirms YAM-9 on-orbit with all systems nominal, validating the satellite-as-a-service model with next-gen processing capabilities.
🔺@KittyPunchXYZ cements its role as the liquidity backbone for @flow_blockchain DeFi, powering shared liquidity and farming infrastructure.
🔺@pwrlabs positions itself as Layer 0 verification infrastructure, enabling verifiable off-chain execution across EVM, SVM, MoveVM, and WASM.
🔺@quex_tech unveils Qsemble for instant L1 confirmations and colocated execution without sacrificing base layer trust assumptions.
🔺@Sagaxyz__ solidifies Velocity DeFi with native stablecoins and BTC collateral as purpose-built infrastructure for high-velocity yields.
🔺@StackingDao crosses 102M STX deposited, reinforcing product-market fit for liquid stacking with dual yield on sBTC.
We back teams building foundational rails, not hype cycles. Infrastructure wins compound!
