[Mitchell Hashimoto @mitchellh]

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.

I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).

It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.

The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.

We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.

I worry.

@akothari @osama_latrache @NotionHQ is https://t.co/YqEFtp96v9 a notion-built CLI? I was going to install it but then got sketched out because it looks like a 3rd party deal

Claude Code not supporting `.agents/` for skills and stuff is annoyingly hostile 🫠

[Jason Fried @jasonfried]

The faster people can get to something 80% done and unstable, the more they are going to crave stuff that's already 100% done and reliable.

1/ Recently an unnamed source shared data exfiltrated from an internal North Korean payment server containing 390 accounts, chat logs, crypto transactions.

I spent long hours going through all of it, none of which has ever been publicly released.

It revealed an intricate ~$1M/month scheme of fraudulent identities, forged legal documents, and crypto-to-fiat conversion.

Enjoy the findings!

[Peter Steinberger 🦞 @steipete]

Folks, please don't build bots that automatically reply to stuff on X, or use AI to reply. It makes this site annoying to use, I can barely keep up with the blocking.

If you use AI to "tweak" your real replies, it will still smell like AI. Embrace typos and imperfect grammar.

It frustrated me that to move between Aave pools I had to use several UI's, so I made this!

You can swap between any @aave aTokens (LP tokens on Aave) using any tokens you have in your wallet in one place.

Powered by @aori_io for gasless bridging and swapping between the underlying pool tokens.

Been mining and holding $QUIL quietly since late 2023.

Countless delays, zero hype, still never sold a token.

Why? Because a fully private, E2EE, decentralized AWS replacement only comes around once.

At 30m market cap, it's absurdly underpriced for how groundbreaking the tech is.

This is Zcash-level privacy applied to the entire cloud stack.

If you get it, you already know 30m is free money.

It’s going live now.

[Quilibrium @QuilibriumInc]

This week marks a special moment for Quilibrium Inc. as we wrap up V2.1 enrollment, a key milestone that sets the stage for what’s next.

Even more exciting, this will be a combined stream, bringing together our V2.1 milestone discussion and our weekly dev stream into one extended live session.

We’ll spend time:

• Reflecting on the journey that led to V2.1

• Sharing what we’ve learned from the rollout

• Offering a glimpse at what’s coming next

• Diving deeper into what makes Quilibrium more than just a “privacy coin”

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re just discovering Quilibrium, this is a great opportunity to experience the project’s momentum in real time and be part of the conversation about where we’re headed next.

🕖Time: 8AM UTC
🎥 Join us live: https://t.co/0NwaoQx8ri

Let’s celebrate how far we’ve come, and get ready for what’s ahead. 🚀

[Berachain Foundation 🐻⛓ @berachain]

We are happy to confirm that all funds (approx $12.8m) from the BEX / Balancer v2 exploit have been returned to the Berachain Foundation Deployer (https://t.co/GfbfjJTVLh). Chain is live.

We'd like to thank the white hat who worked with us to make this happen - we'll ensure that his wallet is unlabelled as malicious, and work towards a potential bounty as a sign of our appreciation.

HONEY mint/redeem has also been unpaused accordingly, while all BEX functionality has been limited, including swaps, withdrawals, deposits, etc.

You should expect to see some irregularities in reported APRs etc across the chain, as BGT and incentives have not been flowing for 24hrs.

We will be working with infra providers to ensure that key infra is up to date (RPCs, oracles, dev tooling, block explorers etc) over the next few hours, at which point we'll proceed with more detailed comms about next steps.

Return of funds:
There were originally over 1000+ depositors in some of the exploited pools (ie. iBERA), while others like USDe were much more concentrated.

For the exploited pools with large numbers of individual depositors, the Berachain core team is currently producing a system that will attribute the deposits to their original addresses, and distribute to users accordingly. Please bear with us as we ensure that this is carried out in a diligent and safe manner over the coming days.

Please note that for users with non-exploited deposits in the BEX right now, funds cannot be withdrawn. This has been done out of an abundance of caution as the cause of the Balancer exploit is still not fully known. We will track the situation closely and follow Balancer's lead to make sure that funds can be safely withdrawn / returned to users ASAP.

Thanks once again for everyone's support and patience here. We're doing our best to be diligent and communicative in this process, and will continue to get people up to speed as we ensure that functionality across all aspects of the chain is restored.

Berachain.

When public companies begin investing in Bittensor subnet tokens, you know the paradigm is shifting

[James Altucher @jaltucher]

Finally I can start talking about how much I love the $TAO Subnets. This is a game changer for AI. With $TAOX we are going full force into the TAO subnets.

What is a subnet you might ask?

Imagine being a venture capitalist where now you can invest in the best AI startups on the planet at significant discounts.

Example: Ridges (subnet 62) is about to launch a commercial product that competes with Cursor (an AI coding company).

Cursor is valued at $30 BILLION. And yet...

On the SWE benchmark tests, Ridges AI models destroys Cursor's AI models.

Ridges has spent, in total, probably less than $200,000 because of the way the $TAO mechanism works for AI mining (see episodes of @TheTaoPod for explanations). So no dilutive VC funding.

Ridges market cap: about $100M vs Cursor at $30B. And now $TAOX is buying subnet tokens and offering exposure to our research in the subnet space and to @Yuma 's institutional subnet funds.

So now you no longer have to imagine being a VC. You're better than the VCs.

This changes the game.

[Mardo @MardoResearch]

I'm so proud of the progress our AI agent has made.

I just read @0xPrismatic's newsletter about an AI agent, Surf, that many institutions use.

Here's the agent's response when I asked about $VIRTUAL, compared to @DegenCapitalCIO's.

Which one do you guys prefer?
