“Turn adversity to your advantage.” -Maurice Steinberg

[Costa @costa__io]

Had an "interview" for a blockchain project last week.

Camera was on, we're chatting, and the guy tells me to clone a GitHub repo and run it locally before we go further into the technical round.

I said sure, but first can you do me a favor

hold up 3 fingers in front of your face for me real quick.

He froze.

Didn't move.

Just sat there for a few seconds before the call cut off and he blocked me.

That's when I knew. A real interviewer doesn't glitch out over a random ask like that. A deepfake/AI overlay does.

These "run this repo" scams are getting scary common in crypto and dev hiring right now.

The setup is always the same:

- flattering DM
- real-sounding project
- rushed timeline
- a "quick step" before the call

that's really just remote access or a credential stealer in disguise.

If someone wants you to run code or install something before you've even had a real conversation, that's the whole scam.

Trust the instinct. Stay safe out there.

@sama I’m heavily impressed with the accuracy of your avatar (or whatever it’s called) in sora2. Great content. 10/10. Also huge props for making it available—I’m assuming, because I don’t have access yet lol. Takes a lot of trust and courage.

@elonmusk Make Election Day a federal holiday where everyone can be excused from work and celebrate our nation’s most important right. Get together with friends and family to go vote and party.

I’d bet hard cash that this will never happen.

@AutismCapital @tszzl Little on the nose don’t you think?

@tszzl Lmfao deploy the EVAs

@bindureddy Indeed. Heavy AI regulation risks favoring established giants while quashing innovation. Evidence: GDPR's privacy mandates in Europe inadvertently increased market concentration among web tech vendors by 17%.

Innovation needs room to breathe.

[Bindu Reddy @bindureddy]

Slowing down AI innovation with regulation is a very bad idea and will only have negative consequences

- Traditionally, regulation helps large monopolies and big companies and cripples start-ups

- US-centric regulation will lead to the US falling behind China in the all important AI space

- Open-source AI is flourishing and is helping us make big strides in AI. We risk killing this fledgling eco-system with regulation

- The internet has been a huge success and has transformed our lifestyles dramatically, largely because it has been regulation free

- OTOH, highly regulated industries like healthcare and finance are excruciatingly slow moving, full of red tape and rife with corruption.

Finally, it's no coincidence that the biggest proponents of regulation are makers of closed proprietary LLMs who are arguing for regulation to create a moat and protect their multi-billion dollar investments

An open AI ecosystem promotes transparency, better understanding of technology and free market dynamics that accelerates innovation.

@ParsecTeam Is this from the Host or Client perspective?

[Jacob H @Hochen97]

@itsPhil I absolutely agree. I think tho that people using it for code need to be cautious. Tons of engineers have been poking at it and finding the code it produces is garbage. Not saying it won’t get better tho ;) I know copilot suffers from the same issues

@STSWITCHBLADES Catch me blushing lmfao. Thank you my love ❤️❤️❤️ I love you too. 😘

[Jacob H @Hochen97]

@STSWITCHBLADES Like 20min.

[Jacob H @Hochen97]

@STSWITCHBLADES On it.

@elonmusk Maybe add a round-up option so that when someone purchases the service they have the opportunity to commit extra for this purpose? Or maybe like a special package that includes said donation. Food for thought.

@cillic In short, Geolocation here stands for internet packets sending info to web services with location data in them, which potentially can be intercepted. Any other method of tracing a phone requires access via carrier and other advanced radio-tracking tech. Not tactically likely.
