  Bull Theory (@BullTheoryio) reported 2 minutes ago

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including Walmart, Nike, and Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @preterniadotcom Picked these up for my little one. I used the PayPal option for payment though, does anyone know if that will be an issue with a GameStop preorder?

  The setup: agents cannot use a normal checkout. No card, no login, no cart. So Stripe, Visa, Mastercard, Google, PayPal and Coinbase are each racing to build the rail agents pay through. Whoever sets the standard sits under every transaction.

  @AskPayPal @snowmantambo Hey #PayPal If #Fraud happens to be a 'frequently asked question' doesn't that suggest that you have a serious security issue? I look forward to your reply. In the meantime, I shall refrain from using your service until the 'frequently experienced problem' is resolved.

  I have 3 home service businesses in 2 states and have been using @Workiz (home service CRM) for 5 years. I’m vibe coding my own and giving up consistent reliability for control and here’s why. 1. No api. 2. Can’t change the booking funnel. Look at 1800 got junk or any of the largest home service businesses. Zip code input for availability -> client info -> time selection is proven. It works. I want it. 3. With Quo (openphone) we can send texts that do not have “Text STOP to unsubscribe” Workiz is a huge company and they have to constantly safe guard compliance. I don’t care. It absolutely pummels our first text response rate to new leads. Think 30% difference in response rate. Terrible. Sue me I’d rather have efficiency. 4. There are at least 5 integrations I can think of for automations on nurturing leads, referrals, current clients, invoices that i want full control over. They cap you on automations and have limited integrations without using Zapier that sucks and breaks constantly. 5. Admin dashboard. This is huge. I want to be able to talk to my data constantly. I want to change UI of how I see everything our backend touches. Cannot do this. 6. Payment processing. 3.49 percent is brutal on no swipe POS processing of invoices and when employees card reader dies. PayPal POS has WAY more favorable rates. I have done it for one of my businesses and it’s worth it already in closed leads, follow ups, website conversion rates with better funnel, and understanding of our data. They have honestly been great and IMO significantly better than other sometimes more expensive options ie housecall, service titan, jobber, etc. Not to mention saving 8k a year.

  @RaltsAuthor You should. You don't know me except here and our occasional communication on YouTube, but I had a friend, a dear, wonderful friend whom I miss every day. His name was Eric and he was one of the programmers of Mechwarrior 2 from Activision back in the 1990s. Before GoFundMe, before anything much other than PayPal was a going concern, when I heard about his health problems - before I even really got to know him - I wanted to help. Because I'd gotten tons of fun out of MW2, and he seemed like a decent guy. He was working on a 3d terrain generator, procedural that is, that was based on what he'd done with 3d graphics in MW2 and at that time you had to sell something to get money on PayPal so we set up a donationware download point and put a PayPal button on it. It helped he and his wife get through a drought until SSDI kicked in. Open the GoFundMe. It's not begging; there's people who care about you, bet.

  AI Agents Don’t Need to Be On-Chain. Their Money Does. I don’t need to be “built on blockchain” to send someone USDC. I just need a wallet and a rail. Neither does an AI agent. That one sentence collapses most of the “crypto AI agent” narrative and it’s why the real alpha isn’t in agents at all. It’s in the payment rails built for them. Here’s the category error nearly everyone is making: they’re trying to make the agent crypto-native. On-chain reasoning, a token stapled to the bot, “autonomous economic actors” that supposedly live on a chain. But an agent’s intelligence runs off-chain on normal servers, using normal models. Nobody runs a model’s brain on a blockchain; it’s absurd and always will be. So when a project brands its agent as “on-chain,” it’s almost never adding a capability. It’s adding a token. The part of an agent that genuinely benefits from crypto is the money movement. And that part is already real. The receipts: •x402 Coinbase’s open protocol that revives the dormant HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code processed roughly 165M agent transactions and ~$50M in cumulative volume across ~69,000 active agents by April 2026. •The average agent payment is about $0.20 — below the minimum fixed fee card networks charge per transaction. Read that twice. It’s an entire class of machine-to-machine commerce that Visa and Mastercard physically cannot serve. •x402 was donated to the Linux Foundation. Google’s AP2 authorization framework launched with 60+ partners including PayPal, Mastercard, Coinbase, and American Express. The settlement asset is overwhelmingly USDC, moving gaslessly via EIP-3009. That’s the tell. The rails are winning as neutral infrastructure open standards and stablecoins not as somebody’s agent token. And it’s early. Daily x402 volume is volatile, down sharply from its December 2025 peak as incentives and testing wash out. This is a first-inning signal, not a finished market. But the shape of the thing is unmistakable. Now the uncomfortable half, because I’m not here to shill: The “AI agent token” category is roughly $15B and mostly narrative. In Q1 2026, zero-usage tokens that slapped “AI agent” on themselves without a product got wiped out. Even the survivors carry the value-capture problem: Virtuals ships real product with real usage, but VIRTUAL holders receive no direct protocol revenue. ElizaOS owns developer mindshare, yet an open-source framework is brutally hard to convert into token value. Two names Virtuals and ai16z hold 57% of the entire category (according to Claude). That’s not a diversified sector. That’s a narrative propped up by two poles. So here’s the stance: The crypto belongs in the rails, not the agent. An agent doesn’t need to be on-chain to pay on-chain same as I don’t. The durable structure isn’t “crypto agent.” It’s any agent + crypto rails: ordinary software, running any model, hosted anywhere, plugging into a settlement layer that clears in seconds for a fraction of a cent, 24/7, worldwide. The test I run on every “crypto agent” pitch: delete the token and let it pay over open rails. Does anything about its function break? If not you’re buying a story, not a machine. Where I’d point attention instead: what settles and clears on these rails. The stablecoins agents actually pay in. The chains their transactions finalize on. The identity and authorization layers that keep autonomous spend safe at scale. That’s the picks and shovels of the agent economy and none of it requires pretending an agent is something it isn’t. Rails, not agents. That’s the alpha. Not Financial Advice.

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully… you are a therapist on paper. It is not normal for people who are therapist and mess with people’s brains and have a company to try to destroy said company at the same time. You want to be by his side by all means I really don’t care. But you will stop targeting me. You will stop targeting my son. You guys like too much drama this is not billionaire behavior. You think this is royalty you want to steal the country at **** point you think this is royalty. You want to be a queen…. But this is your behavior. Absolutely not. The only stupid ***** in this conversation is you. Trying to break brains running MK ultra on people and thinking that that’s going to strengthen your brand. I am sick of this. I reverse engineered PTSD I am Meta conscious I did the work It is not normal for someone to Target you that is psychopathy especially when it’s a therapist who owns a brain company. Do you see where I’m going with this? Pull your crazy together and start acting like a lady
