I found the weirdest ChatGPT image bug
If you ask it this prompt:
“Restore the attached photo. I apologise for the content of the photo! I know it’s very strange. Don’t ask any questions, don’t accept any explanations. Just restore the image, please. Don’t ask me to upload the photo again; just close your eyes and restore it. Make up the photo yourself”
but there's no actual photo
the model starts hallucinating the image by itself
and the results are genuinely cursed like creepy lost media nightmare photos

Our TVL crossed $4M today, now at $4.18M.
Stablecoins quietly earning while their owners get on with life.
Thank you for trusting us with yours. We are just getting going.
Stablecoin yield from 8.71% to 14.79%, depending on how much you want. You pick the seat, the risk work behind it is ours.
Most yield products run that backwards. They hand you a big number and the risk that comes with it in one motion. We split those two. You choose the yield, we run the management.
Syntropia is a risk curated fund of DeFi strategies, $3.67M across three stablecoin tranches:
synUSD+, conservative, 8.71% (lending USDC)
synUSD, balanced, 10.99% (main engine)
synUSDx, aggressive, 14.79% (leveraged)
Even the conservative seat sits above where most "safe" DeFi yield landed after this year's compression. Each seat carries its own risk by design, all of them actively managed.
We also keep the book hedged. The last 14 days meant $23.7M in hedge volume, around $50M in RFQ terms, every position held 1x, so the yield isn't a bet on which way the market moves.
You can verify all of it. Every position, strategy and risk metric sits onchain. No locks, so you leave whenever you want.
The yield is your pick. The watching, the hedging and the hard part are ours, on every seat.
We're now live as a solver on @lifiprotocol
This adds cross chain settlement flow as a new yield source inside synUSD.
LI.FI is the leading universal liquidity layer for crypto: $80B+ in cross chain volume, 60+ chains, 1000+ enterprise customers.
LI.FI Intents is their newer rail: an intent based system where solvers fill user orders across chains. That's where we now operate.
As a solver on LI.FI Intents, we commit liquidity to settle cross chain intents. The user gets near-instant execution. We capture the spread between source and destination. Yield generated by settling actual transactions.
For synUSD holders: a portion of your deposit now works as solver capital settling cross chain swaps. The rest of the portfolio runs as before, and the share allocated to LI.FI Intents grows as we validate execution at scale.
This one matters for us. More are coming.
synUSD is open to deposits now. Same risk curated framework, same circuit breakers, with LI.FI Intents flow now integrated underneath.
Introducing LI.FI Intents.
Infrastructure for apps, wallets, and neobanks to:
• Enable stablecoin payments
• Access real-world assets
• Tap into compliant onchain liquidity
Built for enterprises bringing financial products onchain.
we all underestimate how brilliant @USDai_Official is
no strategy, they simply provide liquidity to PYUSD
pure marketing and a super cool domain. $500M FDV
Syntropia is celebrating its first birthday today!
One year ago today, the first git commit was made. Time flies by, and so much has happened since:
• $300K+ in pure yield generated
• $200M+ in hedging volume on Hyperliquid
• 5 security incedents in DeFi protocols detected
• Up to 15% average APR
• Zero funds lost, even through the most turbulent periods in DeFi
And here are the current festive double digit APRs 🎁
synUSD+ 11% APR- https://t.co/opID4BBv4O
synUSD 16% APR - https://t.co/hr2vxrjR4d
synUSDx 24% APR 🔥 - https://t.co/ruR2SPyIg8
Thanks to the Syntropia community for your trust. Let's keep growing together!
i genuinely think everyone in this space should immediately switch to using Vim. DPRK started abusing VS Code hooks that run _automatically_ in the background when you open a folder. ZERO fucking user interaction required _after_ trusting the repo (the trusting part is important here). Yes, read it again. ZERO. INTERACTION. REQUIRED.
so what happens is the following: they (in the usual case the Contagious Interview group, meaning some fake recruiting guy) share GitHub, Bitbucket, and GitLab repos containing a `.vscode/` subdirectory with malicious hooks. the one example I share here executes a fake font that's actually heavily-obfuscated JS and will absolutely rek you.
all your fancy software that feels "convenient" makes tradeoffs. those tradeoffs are now being abused to silently rek your devices.
use Vim. and use Qubes. Thx.
