@paulg@jeff_weinstein Clarity of thought is even more important in the post AI world. If you can't explain the AI clearly what you want to achieve, you'll be running in endless loops
ALWAYS have the (.com) for your business if it's a serious one.
All the fancy domain TLDs are actually tied to countries and the rules can lock you out anytime
We're finally shedding the .so (thank you Somalia!), and using the .com for @NotionHQ. And for this beautiful moment, I want to share a fun story:
Back in 2018, I had just joined Notion, and one of the first things @ivan asked me to do was figure out how we could own https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. I had never done a big domain purchase before, so I reached out to a few domain brokers to understand the landscape. We tried different brokers, kept things anonymous, and attempted to surface a price the seller might consider.
A year went by… nothing. Meanwhile, it was pretty clear this was only going to get more expensive as we grew. We needed a different approach. A fellow founder connected me to a broker who took a very different tack. Less transactional, more long-term relationship builder. He spent months getting to know the domain owner. Turns out owner was a fellow entrepreneur in the west coast… and a huge Grateful Dead fan.
So we figured, why not get creative? Something beyond just price. So I called up our investor Ronny Conway and asked if there was any way he could help set up a private meeting between the domain owner and the Grateful Dead. Ronny is one of those people who somehow makes impossible things possible. A week later he calls me back: “New York City. Halloween. 15 minutes after the concert. Done.”
The broker went back to the owner with an offer: some cash, some equity, and a private meeting with the Grateful Dead. That got his attention. He didn’t take the band meeting in the end, but he did lean into the equity (great call, in hindsight). We shook hands, and a few weeks later, the deal was done.
I’ve been waiting years for the day we move our product to https://t.co/BxoFvc83VG. Looks like 2026 is finally the year. Safe to say I’m unreasonably excited about this update!
🚨IMP: 5 years of HARD WORK gone in seconds!
My @instagram account ( handle: cryptoaalind ) with more than 25k followers got disabled‼️
I did the verification selfie and uploaded my official govt id with all details clearly visible but still the govt id got rejected.
Now it shows there’s only one chance to upload the id again and if that got rejected my account would be permanently disabled.
This is very disappointing given that many legit influencer accounts are getting disabled.
I request @Meta support team to please look into this matter urgently.
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!
If there’s anything you should learn from all this Meta AI fiasco in last couple of days should be: DO NOT have a business which is 100% dependent on Meta
