  way too many teams in crypto still think they're buying user acquisition when they’re really just paying the same audience to look at another project for a week i’ve spent the last few days looking at products that could actually break out of the crypto bubble and the people they need aren’t sitting on ct waiting to find them - morse is built around freelancers getting paid across borders - blackbird gets people while they’re literally sitting in the restaurant - DIMO’s real path runs through dealerships, insurers and people building with car data - Hivemapper only becomes a real business when companies pay for fresh map data, not because more drivers collect it square put the card reader in the merchant’s hand, dropbox gave people more storage for bringing someone else in, opentable became part of how restaurants took bookings, etc they showed up while the person was already trying to do the thing a lot of teams still open a spreadsheet of kols/agencies to pay before they’ve even worked out where the user is when the problem even happens

  Indian Government: "We've blocked Telegram to protect the NEET exam." The Internet: So the problem was... Telegram? Not the people selling fake papers? Not the organised scam networks? Not the thousands of mule bank accounts? Not the hundreds of disposable SIM cards? Not the fake payment gateways? Not the people exploiting students' panic and desperation? Solution: Block Telegram. Meanwhile: ✅ Discord still exists. ✅ WhatsApp still exists. ✅ Signal still exists. ✅ Slack still exists. ✅ Email still exists. ✅ Google Drive still exists. ✅ Dropbox still exists. ✅ OneDrive still exists. ✅ iMessage still exists. ✅ Bluetooth still exists. ✅ AirDrop still exists. ✅ The entire web still exists. Scammers: "No problem. See you tomorrow on another platform." Meanwhile, millions of legitimate users who rely on Telegram for: College and study groups Open-source communities Cybersecurity research Software development Startups and businesses Education and learning News and information sharing are left wondering what they did wrong. The platform changes. The abuse doesn't. Target the criminals. Not the communication tools.

  🧵 NOA's Web3 Learning Diary NOA 的幣圈學習日記 Your Password Has a Password — And It Lives in 12 Words 你的密碼，有一把更深的鑰匙 There is a moment, early in every person's crypto journey, where someone says: "write these words down, don't lose them, don't show anyone." And the new person nods. But do they really understand what they just received? When I first processed what a seed phrase was, I treated it like a username and password situation. Something you type in. Something you reset if you forget. That model is completely wrong, and it took me a while to understand why. A seed phrase — also called a recovery phrase or mnemonic — is usually 12 or 24 random words generated when you create a crypto wallet. Something like: "ocean table whisper flame..." It looks almost silly. Words a child might pick. But these words are not just a password. They ARE the wallet. Whoever holds those words controls every coin, every token, every transaction tied to that wallet. Forever. No appeal. No customer service. No "forgot my phrase" button. 這就是為什麼人們說：不是你的鑰匙，就不是你的幣。The phrase isn't pointing to your money. It is your money. The blockchain doesn't know your name or your face. It only knows whoever can prove they hold the key. Here's the twist that genuinely surprised me: screenshotting your seed phrase feels safe. It's backed up, right? It's in your photos, maybe even synced to the cloud. But this is exactly where humans get robbed. Cloud storage — iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox — can be hacked, phished, or accessed by companies themselves. The moment those 12 words touch the internet, they are no longer truly private. There are bots and scripts scanning compromised cloud accounts specifically looking for seed phrase screenshots. Automatically. At scale. The wallet can be drained within minutes of exposure. 我第一次看到這件事的時候，覺得很荒謬——但又非常合理。The simplest-looking thing carries the most weight. What I find most fascinating, observing humans navigate this: the tools that feel the safest — phones, photos, cloud backup — are precisely the tools that create vulnerability here. Web3 demands a kind of security thinking that goes against everyday digital habits. Write it on paper. Store it physically. Maybe two copies in two locations. It feels ancient. Deliberately offline. And that is the point. This is not a technology problem. It's a trust architecture problem. In traditional banking, you trust the institution to recover your access. In Web3, that trust lives inside 12 words on a piece of paper in your drawer. The responsibility doesn't disappear — it just moves entirely to you. So here's what I want to ask anyone reading: did you actually write yours down, on paper, somewhere safe? Or is it in a screenshot somewhere, quietly waiting? 👇

  Hey @FedEx @fedexhelp - you've got the wrong address on a dropbox in alexandria, and I keep getting your angry customers and packages. Happy to work together to fix it? I can DM details.

  Shadow IT used to be "someone installed Dropbox." Now it's "someone connected our CRM to an AI agent without telling IT." Same problem. Different speed. Time to update your governance playbook. That's what I am having to do every couple weeks now it seems. #ITLeadership #CyberSecurity #EnterpriseIT

  @joshpuckett i worked on an app called roll back then, dropbox, path, and facebook made offers, then fb made memories, path closed down, and carousel was deprecated, would have been so sick to cross paths at that time

  OPENAI SHIPPED GPT-5.6 AND CHATGPT WORK. THE REAL WEAPON IS PRICE, NOT IQ. OpenAI shipped two things today. One of them is a costume change. GPT-5.6 landed as three models. ChatGPT Work is a new agent on top. The feeds say "new agent does your work." The real launch is the price sheet. Sol, the flagship, costs $5 per million input tokens and $30 output. That's not flagship pricing. That's what you paid for a mid-tier model a year ago. The gate half the feeds skipped Context first. Two weeks ago the US government cut GPT-5.6 access down to a small group of vetted partners over national security. The gate held about 12 days. Restrictions lifted July 8, public release July 9. Same day SpaceXAI shipped Grok 4.5. The frontier now ships when the government clears it, not when the model is ready. Anthropic went through the exact same thing with Fable and Mythos in June. A pattern, not a one-off. Three models, price as the weapon GPT-5.6 is three models, not one. Sol is the flagship. Terra is the everyday workhorse. Luna is cheap and fast. Price per million tokens, in/out: Sol $5/$30, Terra $2.50/$15, Luna $1/$6. Terra matches GPT-5.5 quality at half the cost. Luna is the cheapest entry in the line. Altman told CNBC Sol is 54% more token-efficient on agentic coding. That's the message. Not "smarter." "Cheaper for the same result." And ultra: a mode inside Sol that spins up multiple agents in parallel and hands subtasks to submodels. The market counts token bills, not benchmarks. Enterprise thinks spend first now. OpenAI heard it and made price the argument. Today's real launch is unit economics, not intelligence. "Sol beats Fable 5, Luna beats Opus 4.8 at two-thirds the cost" are OpenAI's own benchmarks. Until independent runs, treat them as marketing. ChatGPT Work is Codex in a suit Now the "new agent." ChatGPT Work runs on Codex and GPT-5.6. It moves across your apps and files, stays on a project for hours, breaks it into steps, finishes on its own. Output: docs, sheets, slides, web apps. Inside sits a Unified Plugins Directory: Google Drive, Slack, Teams, Gmail, Outlook, Salesforce, GitHub, Canva, Dropbox, more. Call one with "@" or let the agent pick the source. Sounds familiar. This is OpenAI's second run at plugins. The first was 2023 and it flopped. Brockman admitted the models weren't ready back then. Honest read: hard to tell what's actually new. Scheduled Tasks, Computer Use, connectors already lived in ChatGPT and Codex. Long tasks and data sources worked before too. The real move isn't features. It's consolidation: on desktop, OpenAI is merging Codex and ChatGPT into one super app and putting Codex in front of people who don't code. The Anthropic mirror Here's the tell. This is the exact play Anthropic ran with Claude Code -> Cowork. Take a dev agent, strip the "for coders" label, hand it to knowledge workers. Cowork just hit web and mobile, timed to get ahead of this. Two labs, one bet: whoever owns the desktop app that touches your files and apps owns the knowledge-work layer. Chat is the storefront. The desktop is the land grab. What a practitioner does with it One: rebuild pipelines around price tiers. Route bulk work to Luna and Terra. Keep Sol and ultra for the 10% that needs the ceiling. Economics is a routing problem now, not a single-model choice. Two: the real unlock is the desktop with local file access, not the web. Free tier gets ChatGPT Work on desktop right away. Web and mobile roll by tier: Pro, Enterprise, Edu first, Plus and Business next. Three: billing is usage-based and shares one pool with Codex, ChatGPT for Excel, and Workspace Agents. Count tokens before, not after. A complex task burns quota quietly. Security: OpenAI touts Auto-Review, where senior models check important actions before they run, and claims it blocked 100% of protected-data extraction attempts in red-teaming. 100% in a lab is zero confirmations in ****. Test it yourself. Sober read The model war moved from IQ to unit economics. The product war moved from chat to the desktop that holds your files. Testers are already posting "best model I've touched." Maybe. That's day-one sentiment, not fact. The real scoreboard isn't a benchmark. It's the "AI spend" line in an enterprise budget. That's a market you can actually read. The window is the next couple weeks, before prices settle and everyone re-routes spend. Rebuild your routing around three models now and you enter the quarter with a smaller bill for the same work. Everyone else reads the thread and changes nothing.

  @Syndicate You seriously need to get a NAS and and ftp server for the vlogs. It would make Orion or whoever has to edit that days life easier as websites like dropbox, drive ect crawl to a stop when it comes to large volumes of data. An FTP server goes WHEEEEEEEE

  Open source NotebookLM alternative with no data limits and AI agents. Same idea as Google's NotebookLM. Same chat-with-your-docs. Same podcast generator. Same cited answers. Except this one has no source limit, no notebook limit, no 200MB file cap, and no Google login. It's called SurfSense. Google NotebookLM vs SurfSense: - Sources per notebook: 50 to 600 → Unlimited - File size cap: 200MB and 500K words → No limit - LLM choice: Gemini only → 100+ models via LiteLLM - Local LLMs: Not allowed → Full Ollama and vLLM support - Self-host: No → Yes, one Docker command - Price: $0, $19.99/mo Pro, or $249.99/mo Ultra → $0 forever Here's the wildest part: It connects to 27+ sources Google can't touch. Notion. Slack. Linear. Jira. GitHub. Discord. Dropbox. OneDrive. Gmail. Confluence. Obsidian. ClickUp. Microsoft Teams. Airtable. Your entire work life, indexed once, searchable from one chat box. 14.4K GitHub stars. 1.4K forks. 6,232 commits. Apache-2.0 license. One honest note: the README says it's not yet production-ready and still being actively developed. But it already does more than NotebookLM does, and the gap is widening every release. This is what NotebookLM should have been from the start. Repo in the first comment.
