@ketacode Just one product?!
You are not maximizing slop

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

Bullshit.

Anyone telling you they can use AI to get the equivalent of 4 years in 1 day is delusional.

[Maor Shlomo @MaorShlomo]

The paradigm shift that’s happening is not whether companies will require you to work more or less

It’s that the leading ones are going to structure their company around ICs that are 1000x more productive than the avg employee in 2022

And work life balance aside, you’d maximize the ability of every one of those ICs to put in effective hours every day. It might not mean working more but definitely clearing away BS and time draining processes

Tokenmaxxing culture has its repercussions....

What I’m hearing: Instagram’s Trust and Safery org absolutely gutted the last few weeks. ~60% of the org gone - between layoffs and forced reassignments to data labelling.

All while “AI maxxing” pushed a bunch of bugs to prod. And hence why today’s massive Insta account takeover happening.

Meta gave its support AI access to reset account auth... what could go wrong? 🤡

[André @oracles]

Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone.

People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands.

I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years.

Obama White House account got hit.

These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised.

The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page).

Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie.

They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof.

And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face
.
Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did.

Point is even locked down accounts went down.

Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help.

You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call.

The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop.

One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it.

Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute.

Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

@noam_fathi הקמתם ממשלה עם חרדים. הרבה יותר גרוע

I replaced doom scrolling with launching Claude code on my phone, connecting to one of my repos and asking Claude about optimizations 🤷‍♂️

@zivaolam ראיונות לוקחים הרבה יותר מחצי שעה… כפול 3-4 כי אתה רוצה כמה אנשים שיפגשו איתם בשביל פידבק.
זה זמן יקר.
צריך איזשהו חסם שמסנן 99 אחוז מהמועמדים ומשאיר את אלה ש*כנראה* ישתלם לדבר איתם.

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

@zats Not sure why you wouldn’t be able to process it locally. Same as Apple Health/Fitness that can process and run ML model locally

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

He liked the hardware but not the exaggerated subscription costs so he “used Opus 4.7 to fully reverse engineer the BLE protocol the WHOOP 4.0 band uses, as well as create an app…”

I like this trend…

Come to Bay Area please

[shift @joinshiftX]

Today, we're launching shift. We're starting by cleaning your apartment in New York City, for free.

Here's how it works. Book a shift cleaning. A vetted shift operator comes to your home wearing one of our devices. They clean. They leave. You pay nothing.

In exchange, we record the cleaning. Robotics is being built on data about how people do daily tasks, and the value of that recording is what funds the service. Anything personal in it is anonymized before the recording is processed.

By now, you have heard about the shift to AI more times than you can count. About the shift toward you, the part where you actually feel it, you have heard almost nothing. Shift is what starts to make it concrete, in specific cities, with specific services.

Today, cleaning in New York. Soon, handymen, repairs, and errands across the globe. And this is just one side of shift, with more on the way.

Comment “shift” and we’ll send you an early access link.

It will rain in California. I can’t tell you when, or how much. But I can’t assure you at some point in the future clouds are going to form and rain will start pouring…

Buy my book…

“We will have a crash, I just can't tell you when, and I can't tell you how deep. But I can assure you, unfortunately, I wish I wasn't saying this, we will have a crash,” says Andrew Ross Sorkin, financial journalist and author of “1929.”

Eli Lilly has done it.

They've gone and made what seems to be a powerful, permanent gene therapy for LDL cholesterol.

That means they'll be able to effectively prevent most heart disease with a single infusion!

This IPO is engineered for insiders to take profit and offload to retail investors like you.
Low amount of stocks, straight into index which will force ETFs to buy…

You can believe in a great company and stock can still be bad to own.

I’d wait a couple of quarters (atleast one) before pulling the trigger

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

The colors, the smells, the sizzling noise… this is my meditation

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

@OmriBarak Wix layoffs is is not because AI is making roles redundant. It’s because it’s making its core product redundant…

@rotempe4 וחבל. זו הזדמנות לנסות דברים חדשים ומי יודע… אולי אפילו להפוך לפיצר מרכזי או לסטארטאפ

[Eran Kampf @ekampf]

Robinhood Social could be great, but right now it feels like a missed opportunity.

Forcing every post to attach a recent trade pushes the platform toward StockTwits-style noise and short-form reactions instead of thoughtful, long-form investing discussions like you see on X.

I hope @RobinhoodApp will continue to iterate here and fix this…
