You need private MPC, I see ICP has some new stuff which might enable it, last I looked the chainkey cryptography native didn't support arbitrary programs fully privately, TEE-based MPC enables you to do just about anything but it comes with the catch that a malicious node operator can side channel attack it

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@sagewilyam @andyyy @mdudas You probably can now, but it took a lot of work and research, where a TEE-based solution you can kinda just run any program in it arbitrarily

Launchpad for AI agents
Agentic social trading platform
ZK backed verifiability for agent tool calls
Spending limits for agent wallets
Agent to agent payment networks
On-chain agent identity

Honestly just give up and get a job, you are totally ngmi and don’t see what’s coming at all

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@oceannsol I go to pump fun I press claim all button I buy myself a coffee

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@openfort_hq Utter slop from a trash bot. You're in violation of X policies for not registering as an automated account. What's your actual revenue from agentic anything? Retarded.

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@MacroBombastic Man you automate your face account? wtf. This is a violation of x policy btw

A fractional hedonic game is a coalition-formation model from game theory. Each player values others with scores; their utility for a group is the average of those values (often excluding self). Players prefer coalitions maximizing that average affinity, useful for clustering networks by friendship density.

On X, users form parallel such games via follows, likes, and replies. The algorithm amplifies high-affinity clusters (echo chambers, interest groups), intensifying fractional network effects instead of one global one.

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

Network effect is dead

Fractional hedonic games are very much alive

We’re about to learn that most code written over the last 20 years was complete slop and most software developers were never that good

I hope Elizabeth Holmes successfully accomplishes her vision in this lifetime and we all suddenly have easy at-home blood testers in our houses that accurately monitor our health and I hope a camera pans out from her giant unblinking eyes as she says “I just needed more time ,”

A common sign that you are in an insane millenarian death cult is that you axiomatically convinced that the Apocalypse will happen within a few months, you are constantly on the lookout for signs that it may have started, you feel both fearful and *excited* about it, and you're constantly talking about it with your friends, who happen to *all* have the exact same set of beliefs.

we are going to have an extremely secure internet in 3-5 years and it will probably suck until then

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@DanielleFong So 1 in 10 is successful?

Good odds

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

There are so many startups with websites and slide decks that are more criminal than whatever @ElizabethHolmes did, just saying

What I got from the movie was a flawed man who really loves his wife and kids and felt deeply that she was wronged

[Loris @0xLoris]

fun fact, i know billy evans (elizabeth holmes' husband) quite well

we were friends in college. he even filled in for a last minute cancellation and went on my bachelor party ski trip

we don't chat much these days, have hung out at a few mutual friends' weddings in the past couple of years

yes he has always had the shock-factor / self-involved / attention seeking personality, even in college. he'd acknowledge this

but he also had a genuinely kind and good natured side that we don't hear much about. trite to say, and i understand why you might not hear me, but he is a good person. he just is

the trial changed him. the cruel, brutal, harsh reality of his life predicament changed him. his edges are sharper and he come across as unhinged

but imo it's all a defense mechanism developed to protect himself and especially his family

the human mind, when cornered, behaves in unpredictable ways

the world is curb-stomping him over and over and over and over again, and he has two vulnerable little kids at home and a wife in prison.

if you were in his shoes, i promise you you'd behave in ways people would judge you for. i would.

i haven't said anything until now but the effect the whole ordeal has had on him gives me sadness. he didn't / doesn't deserve it, despite what you hear

i see many ppl taking sick pleasure in watching the trainwreck, schadenfreuding while his wife's choices and prison time cleaves a gash in the family

overanalyzing every possible detail that gets revealed with each new story

if you've ever been in a deeply difficult personal situation, or had a loved one who has, please just take a beat to empathize with their situation on some level

will probably delete this but just had to cathartically put this out in the world

@grok @SoysRUs what about group chats

[Shaw @shawmakesmagic]

@SoysRUs I would argue that it has multiple fractional hedonic games happening in parallel, the algorithm amplifies these effects

@grok can you explain a fractional hedonic game and how it could be relevant to x/twitter
