  $PYPL PayPal — While the reported proposal highlights deep-value interest in PayPal's consumer ecosystem, actual execution remains highly uncertain due to integration complexity and regulatory hurdles, leading analysts to advise against chasing the rally. PayPal shares surged 17% (trading around $55, down from their 2021 all-time high of $310) following reports of a $53 billion buyout proposal. The offer features $50 billion in secured financing, with Stripe and Advent taking equal 50% stakes. The strategic objective is connecting Stripe's merchant-side back-end tech with PayPal's consumer front end, including Venmo and 439 million active users. Wall Street remained skeptical as the stock did not reach the full 28% premium implied by the offer, and analysts at William Blair maintained a "market perform" rating. #Tech #FinTech

  PayPal up 30% off lows – nice for bagholders. But if your avg is $120 and it's $60, you're still down 50%. No victory laps. Cut losers fast or market cuts you. Discipline > hope.

  They do not lock down a PayPal account for $0.25 The worst they would do is freeze that $.25 until an investigation is over or she refunds the $.25 It's yet another bunch of lies for attention and hoping to get money! Anybody who's ever used PayPal knows that's a damn lie.

  @hulu_support when signing up via on screen QR code — redirect to mobile web site — use PayPal … it’s impossible to then tell what or which email address is used for the account creation. seems like a broken loop.

  @dowehave2_tx @PayPal They don't care. A few years ago, during the height of the censorship gestapo, they were shutting down campaigns they didn't like and stealing their money. I shut down my own PP and as a *** member of a 501c, successfully pushed a vote to shut that one down too.

  Overall, Qualitate’s panel backs Stripe’s strategic logic for the acquisition. Stripe already wins in the infrastructure layer, and $53B buys the checkout preference & consumer recognition that it hasn't been able to replicate (though it will also have to inherit the consumer/merchant upgrade issues that have been holding PayPal back). PayPal's board response is expected ~July 20th.

  The Consensus View: Wall Street looks at PayPal's massive decline from its 2021 peak of $360 billion down to around $36 billion, assuming they have permanently lost the consumer checkout war to Apple Pay and Google Pay. They think Stripe is just buying a bloated, legacy user base. The Reality: The underlying commercial engine has fundamentally transformed. Stripe isn't buying a dying platform; they are executing a masterclass in scale. While Stripe absolutely dominates the backend B2B developer and infrastructure layer, PayPal still controls over 430 million active consumer accounts and massive proprietary transaction flow.

  I posted on LN how Meta is being sued by 26 former employees who say the company used AI to choose who to dismiss, selecting people with disabilities and people who had taken medical leave. And a former global intelligence officer for Meta left a comment to say she’s one of the people impacted and is on cancer treatment. 💔 The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. I learned about this from @TaylorLorenz The 26 say Meta scored and ranked staff on a termination list using productivity numbers and AI token usage, which counted against anyone absent from work for reasons the law protects. Meta says its workforce decisions were made by people, not AI. Meta said earlier this year it would cut about 10% of its global workforce, nearly 8,000 jobs, starting in May, with more to follow. Since 2022 it has removed tens of thousands of roles and the money is being redirected into AI infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the integrity, trust and safety teams have been completely gutted, so fewer people now work on content moderation, cybersecurity and safety policy. Companies should use AI to remove human bias from hiring and firing but are using it to collect information about people that has nothing to do with the job. Eightfold AI scores job people from 0 to 5 on their likelihood of success in a role, and applications with a low score are discarded before a recruiter sees the name. Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik sued the company in California in January in a proposed class action. Jenny Yang, the former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is one of the lawyers acting for them. Eightfold's software is used by Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Starbucks and Chevron and more than 100 other employers. The complaint says Eightfold AI builds a hidden profile of each applicant from social media activity, location data, internet and device tracking and cookies, and uses it to judge their behaviour, attitudes, intelligence and aptitude. Its model draws on more than 1.5 billion data points and the profiles of more than 1 billion working people. Eightfold denies scraping social media, says it uses data that candidates share or that its customers provide, and says candidates can see and correct their data. Kistler and Bhaumik say they were never told Eightfold was evaluating them, never saw their score, and were given no way to correct an error or dispute a low rating. They aren't arguing the algorithm is biased, which is notoriously hard to prove in court. They're saying that by secretly gathering this data and selling the resulting judgement to employers, Eightfold is acting as a consumer reporting agency without registering as one. That would place it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the US law that gives people the right to see the information used to judge them and to correct it when it's wrong. I believe the court will accept that argument, and every company scoring people with AI will end up having to show each person the score and the data behind it. AI is notorious for making things up, not just getting things wrong. At scale, this means it'll inevitably misinterpret jokes about people, companies, or governments, and confidently fabricate lies to back up its mistakes.

  @spectralcritter meanwhile DA points were always just 100 pts = $1, and you could transfer it to PayPal for a small fee (i think it was only another dollar usually) I never tried taking robux but it seems like way more trouble than its worth

  @prompterminal Paypal and VISA have adopted crypto. This industry has left me with little hope, because almost nobody is willing to adopt post quantum cryptography. The system has a clock counting down to doom and they refuse to upgrade. Crypto *could* have done great things and might some day

  Elon Musk is no Albert Einstein. Einstein published papers on Brownian motion, the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and E=mc². His general theory of relativity revolutionized physics. His works paved the way for GPS, smartphones, solar energy and nuclear power. Einstein was a vocal advocate for civil rights, education, and global peace. Musk, built PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX, X and xAI. But Musk is not an advocate for anything that would benefit the world. Instead, Musk highlights the need to avoid too much empathy. Musk raises the alarm regularly about low fertility. Despite the low fertility, albeit mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, Musk claims humans have to expand to Mars. In Musk's best known foray outside his companies, he headed up the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE shut down USAID, established by JFK in 1961. Before being shut down, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was the largest funding agency for humanitarian and development aid worldwide. Elon Musk said "USAID is a ball of worms. There is no apple. And when there is no apple you just need to get rid of the whole thing. That’s why it’s got to go. It’s beyond repair,” He later posted, “We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. Could gone to some great parties. Did that instead.” A peer reviewed study the Lancet provided a thorough counterfactual study of the impact of USAID over the preceding 21 years and a "what if" study examining the impact of shutdown to 2030. This finding indicates that 91,839,663 all-age deaths, including 30,391,980 in children younger than 5 years, were prevented by USAID funding over the 21-year study period. Forecasting models predicted that the current steep funding cuts could result in more than 14,051,750 additional all-age deaths, including 4,537,157 in children younger than age 5 years, by 2030. That's 2.34 times the 6,000,000 deaths in the Holocaust.
