  Well, @PayPal is holding back our account because of an unusual amount of transactions. At the current moment, we sadly can‘t take any more orders 😭 We‘re working as fast as possible to fix it..!

  Question for artists who use Ko-fi: Have you ever had an issue where people couldn't donate to you? I've already had two people who were unable to donate. There don't seem to be any issues with my profile. I have PayPal connected, but I don't have Stripe set up.

  @RachelAzzara @mattyglesias Musk made a lot of money out of PayPal, then leveraged it building a scam empire based on spending a lot on tech, just ahead of the wave. When the wave catches up, his money-eating approach crashes, as Tesla is now going down before actual car-making businesses

  @AskPayPal Hello We provided our business registration documents and we are resident in Kenya yet the reasons given for permanently deactivating our account was 1. Created by an underage person or 2. Resident in a country where you don’t operate Reference ID: PP-L-840677709452 Fix it!

  @RoKhanna Ro, you're a multi centi-millionaire. Your worth more today (not adjusted for inflation) than Elon was when he sold PayPal, and on his road to becoming a trillionaire, he nearly went bankrupt several times. Dont you think you could take say 100 million of your own money and start a for profit business that uses innovative technology to solve those problems? How do we make food cheaper but good quality? How do we make healthcare cheaper, but good quality? How do we make childcare affordable, but good quality? Education...etc. etc. Elon started out with ~ 150 million and 2 dreams: decarbonize transportation (which everyone told him was impossible) And make life multiplanetary. Which is at least two orders of magnitude more pie in the sky than building viable electric cars. Both of these ideas, when posited in the very very early 2000s sounded more insane than the entrepreneurial endeavor I suggested that you embark on above. So I have faith that you will be able to achieve it. There is never ever any need to take from others to solve problems.

  a 19 year old in a dorm room is flashing a $7,200 paypal balance and telling you the world cup just started, except his own screen says fifa world cup 2026 i've been watching this one make the rounds. the hook is a kid in a black tee and a backwards cap, dollar store fan humming behind him, pointing at football shorts with 45M, 11M, 5M views and saying these print $1,000 to $15,000 each then he shows the trick > open claude, settings, connectors, paste the link, add > type "make me a crazy ad for world cup" > let it cook, get a 10s vertical clip, post it the clip on his screen looks real. a night stadium, full stands, broadcast lighting. the paypal balance under it reads "7200$" with the dollar sign in the wrong place, no comma, no cents the part he didn't mean to show is at 0:22, the claude panel quietly says kling 3.0, 9:16, 10s, audio. higgsfield is just a wrapper passing his prompt to someone else's model, and MCP is a free open protocol anthropic ships for anyone so the actual stack is claude, a free connector, and a few cents of kling credits per video. the $500 discord, the "comment AI" funnel, the dorm room flex, all of it sits on top of three things you can wire up yourself in an afternoon the world cup hasn't started. the funnel has

  About AI and my art; if you’re just playing around with it alls fun and games. But if you’re seriously collaborating with it, directing it to adjust your sketches and paintings to fit your creative ideas & intuition, it keeps adding different unasked-for iterations. Talking with an AI is not like talking with a human. The thing hallucinates; or rather, it does not ‘Grok’ what I want. Humans have the ability to connect, that is, get your intentions, insights, and ideas, and they can do it quickly. I’m not saying that this happens between humans easily, or all the time. In fact there are plenty of times, especially when the creative intuition is operating at a high frequency, that many humans can’t get there. AI can produce quickly, but it’s directionless. Today I talked with one on PayPal. It said it could help me with most issues. Maybe it can, but only if it’s a problem solution in its memory, and you phrase it in just the right way to trigger that memorized response. Otherwise it’s very limited with what it can help you with. And it wasn’t able to help me with my issue; but a human operator was. I’d say that AI was not nimble or flexible intelligence. It’s quick data retrieval that mimics a fake flexible intelligence. Well, that’s my experience with it so far. Maybe, with practice, I’ll get better at using this as a tool, and forget about the idea that this an actual intelligence.

  @ROSEMOORE254606 @catswithnohope She is doing ok. The situation is challenging as there was a large bill left to pay and although Nour covered a lot of it, they want the remaining $2000 before they’ll continue any appointments. Nour has to go to America to sort out the issue with paypal as he needs to get her bank account amended so he still can’t accept donations via PayPal. Am working with him on a solution for this.

  @Gianl1974 One very rich person attacking another, even richer person. All the while, the ‘richest’ government in the world wastes more money allowing fraud & wasteful spending. She chooses to post about this vs fixing a broken govt. Elon builds cars, spaceships, neuro chips & PayPal?

  Seems like I'll have to make a disclaimer in my ToS that I can't do refunds. PayPal really sucks and I'm having such a big trouble trying to issue a refund to a client... PayPal support agent said I need funds for it, or I can call support of my country.

  Elon Musk got rejected by Netscape. He walked into the lobby, was too shy to talk to anyone, and walked out. Never got the job. At his first company Zip2, the board demoted him. Twice. They refused to let him be CEO. He got fired from PayPal as CEO while flying to his own honeymoon. The board voted him out mid air. He almost died of malaria in 2000. Ten days in intensive care. Lost 45 pounds. A day from death. His first child died at 10 weeks old. His first rocket exploded. Falcon 1, flight one. Burned on the pad. His second rocket exploded. His third rocket exploded. The last of his money was nearly gone. Tesla nearly went bankrupt in 2008. The closest he ever came to a nervous breakdown. Both companies almost died on the same Christmas Eve. He was sued by investors. Mocked by the people who built cars before him. His childhood heroes, the astronauts who inspired him, testified against his company to Congress. The Cybertruck window shattered on live stage in front of the world. He overpaid for Twitter by his own admission and watched its value collapse. He was beaten unconscious as a child and thrown down a flight of stairs. He has said he goes to sleep alone and it kills him. He failed in public, over and over, for thirty years. He is the richest man in the history of the world. The difference was never the absence of failure. It was the refusal to stop after it.

  Elon didn’t build trillion-dollar outcomes by rushing solutions. He framed the right problems first, then attacked them relentlessly. - PayPal (1999): Money moves too slowly and expensively for the internet age. Built frictionless digital payments. - SpaceX (2002): Humanity is one asteroid or nuke away from extinction. Made spaceflight reusable and affordable. - Tesla (2004): Fossil fuels are dooming the planet. Proved EVs could be desirable and inevitable. - Boring Company (2016): Cities choke on traffic. Built underground tunnel networks. - Neuralink (2016): Human brains can’t keep up with AI. Created high-bandwidth brain interfaces. - X (2022): Public conversation is censored and broken. Rebuilt it for maximum truth-seeking. - xAI (2023): AI lacks truth-seeking. Building AI to understand the universe. None of these industry-leading companies (or his rise to the richest man) happen with sloppy framing or unvalidated problems. Wrong problem = wasted genius. Right problem = compounding magic. Pre-execution work is just as (if not more) important as implementation. Validate the problem first, then build the solution. Here's to the next trillion and more.

  @AskPayPal Bought on eBay via PayPal (Citi card) on June 2 and cancelled right away. PayPal shows refund issued, but after 14 days it's still not on my Citi card. Direct Citi payment refunds appear instantly. Why is PayPal so slow??? Never using it again. 😤
