  guys for the pickup merch, if you’ve never previously had issues with paying with Apple Pay, then just use Apple Pay. I didn’t get anything I wanted because I tried to use PayPal and it took 5 mins to get me logged in when if I just used Apple Pay I could’ve got all I wanted

  @DonalTDeLay Pay pal is a pain in the ***. I haven’t had nearly the problem with Venmo that I have with PayPal. And only have that account because of customers

  @SignalLay It's not issue of international client. All the methods like paypal, Payooner, bank transfer does not work due restrictions imposed on them. There are some other ways but it's too risky , payment can be hold or some legal matter. So it's better to pass.

  1.⁠ ⁠Should Chinese open models be banned? 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Will Anthropic and OpenAI hit their targets in 2027? These are honestly the two biggest questions right now that we discuss in the only show you need to listen to every week with @jasonlk and @rodriscoll My notes below: 1. Why the 10x Price Cut of Chinese Open Models Is an Enterprise Security Trap Chinese open models like Kimi and Qwen are driving the search for cheaper intelligence. A 10x cost cut has pushed regulated enterprises to run more error-catching supervisor models, increasing token usage by 2.5x. But it also creates unprovable data export and leakage risks, leaving CIOs with a painful tradeoff between cost and security. 2. Why the Low-Cost, Open-Weight LLM Layer Is a Brutal Margin Trap for US Startups Massive valuations for Chinese open-weight models raise a hard question: is low-cost AI a good standalone business? US giants have left a vacuum for much cheaper intelligence, but much of the advantage comes from distillation, which faces legal hurdles in the US. That leaves providers exposed to brutal margin compression. 3. Why Turning Down a $6BN Acquisition Offer Is a Sucker Bet for Most Founders OpenRouter leaking sale talks at a $5 billion to $6 billion valuation is savvy as Ramp, Databricks, and others launch competing routing features. Private liquidity windows are rare, and exiting before a feature becomes commoditized is often optimal. Turning down life-changing cash only makes sense if a founder is certain they can build a 10x larger company. 4. Why Hypergrowth Inference Providers Must Vertically Integrate to Survive the CapEx Wars Fireworks hitting a $17.5 billion valuation shows the best AI investments are still in infrastructure. Massive developer demand has turned low-margin compute brokering into a strong business with mid-30s gross margins. To avoid commodification, hypergrowth inference providers must vertically integrate into their own data centers. 5. Why the Entire US Stock Market Is Held Hostage by the 2026 AI Growth Rate The tech ecosystem and hyperscaler CapEx trajectory depend on OpenAI and Anthropic’s growth rates into 2026. Frontier models face pricing pressure from cheap open-weight alternatives but remain trapped by real inference costs and massive training investments. If growth slows or forced price cuts erode margins, the market dislocation could be severe. 6. Why Stripe Swallowing PayPal Is a High-Stakes Bet on Legacy Tech Rationalization Stripe partnering with Advent to take PayPal private would show how attractive late-stage scale has become for capital deployment. While absorbing a legacy giant growing at 7% could slow Stripe’s standalone growth, it would instantly expand its processing footprint. The deal would mark a historic passing of the torch from legacy payments to the modern upstart.

  I hate this tactic for promoting merch. I can't be the only one that's like fuckfuckfuck gotta get it now or it'll be gone. Plus isn't it convenient that suddenly you have issues with your Internet or PayPal at checkout and by the time you figure it out the item is gone.

  Take Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

  In December 2008, Elon Musk gave Tesla the last of the money he had left. The wire transfer cleared at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Had it been delayed by just a few more hours, Tesla's payroll checks would have bounced due to insufficient funds. Musk had sold PayPal in 2002 and walked away with roughly $180 million. Instead of doing what most people with $180 million would do, he poured nearly all of it into a rocket company and an electric car company—two industries where history had almost never seen outsiders succeed. Then came 2008, and the financial crisis began to consume what remained. By the end of that year, he reportedly had only a few hundred thousand dollars left and had to borrow money from friends to pay his rent. His marriage also fell apart that same year. Two companies. Both on the brink of running out of cash. In the very same month. The rockets had already failed. At the time, SpaceX had only one product: a small rocket called Falcon 1, and enough funding for just three launches. That was all the money they had. The first launch caught fire and crashed back toward the launch site. The second made it into the sky but lost control before reaching orbit. The third achieved perfect stage separation, but the spent first stage drifted back and lightly collided with the second stage—a timing issue with a newly developed engine—and the rocket was lost. Three launches. Three failures. Not a dollar left. Musk assembled a fourth rocket from the remaining spare parts and bet the last of his money on it. It launched on September 28, 2008, from a small island in the Pacific and successfully reached orbit. It became the first privately developed liquid-fueled rocket to achieve that milestone. Musk later said those were literally the last funds the company had, and had the fourth launch failed, SpaceX would have shut down that very night. But that still wasn't enough to save Tesla. Tesla had been close to completing a $100 million funding round earlier that summer, but the banking system collapsed and credit markets froze. A tiny automotive startup trying to raise capital while even General Motors was nearing bankruptcy had almost no chance. The company was burning through cash, had not yet put a production vehicle into full-scale manufacturing, and was only days away from missing payroll. So Musk took over as CEO. He invested the last of his own money into Tesla. He persuaded existing investors to restructure the financing round into debt in order to get around an investor who was blocking the deal. The agreement closed at 6:00 p.m. on Christmas Eve. Musk gave Tesla the last dollars he had, and later said that at the time he "didn't even own a house or anything else that could be sold." Just one day earlier, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6 billion contract to deliver cargo to the International Space Station. Musk later said he was so overwhelmed that he could barely hold his phone. Within 48 hours, both companies had been pulled back from the edge of collapse, during what was arguably the darkest period of his life. Today, people look at Musk and debate whether he's a genius. That genius was already there through all three failed launches, and it still wasn't enough to save him. What ultimately saved him was a decision he had made months earlier, when the money first started running out. He could have poured everything he had left into one company and let the other die. That would have been the rational move. Instead, he split his last dollars between both companies, knowing full well that doing so could cause him to lose them both. He later admitted that the experience nearly broke him mentally, and it could very easily have destroyed both companies at the same time. Most people would have given up after failing three times in a row. He paid for a fourth attempt. And this time... it worked.

  @purplehaze422 @ShiHendrixxx I'm a fan of Jake's generally, and this wasn't intended as a slight. Public appearances are a bad idea. It'd be an unnecessary risk, and an avoidable error that we'd rather not be looking back at with regret. Just listen to the lawyers. They know best, and this looks like a layup appeal. Best not **** it up. Plus, let's be real here. The chances this is actually Shiloh are pretty slim. At best its a 50/50 chance. It's much more likely a scammed with the PayPal link going up and the reuploaded jpeg profile pic.

  PayPal just won’t let you close it if you have an open investigation going on until the issue is resolved. Just make sure that you don’t have any credit card data left on their site. Or any debit information. Delete all of it. Even if your credit card company or bank has shut down those cards. Do not give them anymore fuel to add to their fire.

  Nick Fuentes is a piece of **** he wasnt cancelled and debanked that happened to me long before him i couldnt have a paypal account, an amazon account, a ebay account, couldn’t open a tradtional bank account, fraud happened to me with credit and it was shot all of my 20’s horrible credit couldn’t build it because fraud kept happening to me I was on a no fly list during Obama I couldn’t travel i had FBI and CIA vans around me outside all the time. My twenties was a very dark period I had a lot of fun but underneath when I wasn’t I was constantly being harassed and stalked i still am to this day i just had to learn things to ease it up a bit constantly had fake women who were most likely men trying to blackmail me it would happen a lot. I had a brain aneurysm in 2011 I know they tried to kill me I AM NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ALIVE I AM A GLITCH IN THE MATRIX I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD. They threw the kitchen sink at me and I survived through it all and came back I don’t know how. Yama tallies my karma and I hope to lead the life of the Eightfold path and no longer give into the 3 poisons I want out of the matrix and I will leave and not come back I just hope I can stay on this path and get off the wheel of life.

  I’ve been running a fake charity out of my garage for three years. It started as a joke because my neighbor kept asking me to buy Girl Scout cookies and I wanted to see if I could sell something stupid. I made up "Save the Left-Handed Ferrets." Made a basic website, printed some flyers. I actually sold $4,000 worth of merch. I felt so guilty I donated $4,000 of my own money to a real animal shelter. But then people kept donating. Now I have $18,000 in a PayPal account. I can’t spend it, but I also can’t give it back because I don’t know who gave it. I tried to shut it down but the website got hacked and now it’s asking for crypto. I’m 53 and I’m accidentally running a money laundering front for a fake animal charity. My wife thinks I’m just really into ferrets now.
