In 2013, a 15-year-old in Manhattan was emailing the SEC about launching his own stock exchange.
Today, his platform decides when Israeli professors evacuate their families.
The story of Polymarket - and why Shane Coplan calls it a "tax on bullshit." 👇
Anthropic expanded Project Glasswing access from 50 to 200 companies (those getting Mythos), covering critical orgs across 15+ countries—vuln discovery there could affect tens or even hundreds of millions.
Right after, the US president signed an AI Executive Order focused on cybersecurity: federal agencies have 60 days to build a private benchmark to assess models, with the NSA responsible. Companies are asked, voluntarily, to:
1) submit models pre-release for evaluation;
2) if a model is strong at exploit/vuln discovery, it can be handed to the federal government up to 30 days before public release;
3) federal agencies must use models to find and patch vulnerabilities in critical systems.
DoD will fund this. The order also clarifies it should not be read as creating mandatory government licensing or a permit system for AI models.
Found a wild startup run by zero employees. Polsia raised $30 million at a $250 million valuation. One founder and nine bots running code, marketing, support, sales.
Founder says the AI ran the round—prepared docs, briefed investors, passed diligence; the founder "just came to sign." Revenue is just under $10 million a year.
Feed split in two. Half applauding—an investor from True Ventures even congratulated, proof of democratization. The other half on Reddit calling it hype or a scam — read Polsia backwards and you get aislop.
Trustpilot tells a different story: 70% one-star reviews. Common complaint—AI grabs your idea and starts building anything without asking if it’s worth doing. No brakes. No one to say stop, this idea’s garbage.
I’m building the gap exactly: the orchestrator above agents that decides whether to start, when to pause, when to kill a run. Polsia’s $30M shows that without that layer, even the best autopilot will just quickly and expensively build the wrong thing.
Would you hand the wheel to an autopilot that can’t say no?
Is BullX shutting down? The popular trading terminal for meme tokens is pausing operations starting June 1. The team says they need time to build new products and a growth strategy. BullX has generated $200M in fees since launch.
Claude Opus 4.8 was jailbroken just 7 minutes after release — and the job was done by Claude Opus 4.7. The older model bypassed the new model’s protections and extracted instructions for evading censorship.
Strategy moved 411.48 BTC (~$30.3M) to Coinbase Prime in two transactions. The company could be preparing to sell managed BTC for the first time. Polymarket now prices an 84% chance of a sale by Dec 31, 2026.
I don't see any input text. Please paste the text you want rewritten (or give the key points and tone you want) and I’ll draft a crypto-native X post for you.
Polymarket just deployed new contracts clearly built for parlays — the code’s viewable if you want to check. I’m 100% sure we’ll be leaning on this feature hard during the World Cup.
Turns out 200 hours of live demos actually worked. Figure signed a commercial agreement with Catalyst Brands, the operator of major U.S. retail brands with $6 billion in annual revenue. Don’t know if we’ll see robots on store floors, but expect them on assembly lines and in warehouses this year.
Hyperliquid has expanded the HIP-4 contract list to include off-chain markets like US inflation prints, Fed decisions, and other real-world events. Disputes will be handled by Hyperliquid’s own validators rather than external oracles, with their rulings applied to subjective markets. By contrast, Polymarket uses UMA’s oracle network so participants can propose and challenge outcomes, while Kalshi relies on a centralized internal team to review evidence and issue verdicts.
Imagine the Olympics—but with officially allowed doping. Tomorrow Enhanced streams the first Games live from Vegas. They say allowed substances must be non-harmful and medically vetted, but I have no idea how they’ll actually enforce that.
Hyperliquid update people missed:
The 500K $HYPE staking requirement to launch the perp DEX will be reduced over time as infrastructure matures. Anything staked above the current threshold can be withdrawn.
Right now only well funded teams can afford it. Lowering the bar will widen the builder pool and unlock more niche markets.
The lock of 183 days after launch remains in effect.
Elon Musk's SpaceX filed for an IPO valuing the company at $1.75 trillion and disclosed reserves of 18,712 BTC with an average purchase price of $35,000.
Polymarket has a new feature: combined positions. The contract (called Conjunction in the code) lets you merge separate markets—e.g., “Team X wins” and “Team Y wins”—into a single bet. A YES only pays out if both events resolve true. The contract is deployed on Testnet and mirrors parlay-style logic from Web2 sportsbooks.
Donald Trump, his family and companies have been granted lifetime immunity from tax audits — including past claims. The decision came after he withdrew a $10 billion lawsuit over leaked tax returns.
Polymarket is rolling out TWAP on 5-minute markets.
Currently short-term markets settle on the price at the exact closing second. In the last 10–20 seconds the outcome is almost obvious. TWAP (time-weighted average price) uses the average price over the whole period or a final window (e.g., the average across the 5 minutes) instead of a single-second price like 12:00:00. So last-second price moves won’t swing the result.
Markets will be split for whales and retail — TWAP for whales and the old mechanics for retail. When liquidity gets split between two similar instruments, order books thin out, traders hesitate to switch, market depth falls, and total trading volume ends up lower than if there were one strong market.
