  @mr_r0b0t @markfenner @cursor_ai YEah - in order to do thi correctly would be a proper global trust harness_protocol. Signatured Agents. Signatured Repos. ETc - its totally doable. But the underlying issue is that the 5_eyes and all the other eyes have had this underwraps from the Carnivor/Eshelon/tuxnet/Duqu days - and now they have intitutionalized DisTrust trough pretty much every single thing the current Cabal Touches.... We had the bush cabal, then the paypal mafia, now we have the AI Yakuza

  Peter Thiel is worth over $20 billion and he tells students that competition is for losers. He earned the right to say it. In 2004 he wrote a $500,000 check to a 19-year-old for 10.2% of Facebook - the first outside money that company ever took. He sold most of it for over a billion. Before that he cofounded PayPal, before that he was a failed Supreme Court clerkship candidate who quit corporate law after seven months. His argument in this lecture is one line long. All happy companies are different because each earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All failed companies are the same - they failed to escape competition. Google makes about 30% margins. Airlines fight each other into the ground. Perfect competition is a synonym for zero profit. He wants you to build something nobody can copy.

  It’s ridiculous; I’m having a serious problem with a client who filed a series of PayPal disputes. It’s absurd because the complaints stem from the fact that some thumbnails didn't pass the UEFN similarity check—something we all know is normal and happens with 90% of thumbnails. Even so, I made sure they passed the check; I even enlisted @MalakiDZN help to ensure they did. Yet, days later, the client disputed every single thumbnail I created—even the ones that had passed the check. On top of that, he defended his claim on PayPal by alleging I had plagiarized existing work. That’s ridiculous, considering I basically took Roblox concepts he sent me and adapted them for Fortnite. It’s absurd. I hope no other designer works with him, because this could happen to them. I don’t know why PayPal hasn’t resolved this yet; having more than six disputes filed at once doesn't even make sense—it’s just a desperate attempt to get his money back 🫩🫩

  @ForcepointSec's X-Labs went threat hunting across live websites in April 2026. They pulled 10 working prompt injection payloads from real pages. These were not lab samples, but real pages an AI agent could read today. All 10 ran the same kill chain. Poison the page, hide the instruction from human eyes, wait for an agent to ingest it, exploit the one thing a model can't do (tell trusted instructions from attacker text it just read), then trigger a real-world action. Two of the 10 were built for stealing funds. One buried a PayPal[.]me link, a fixed $5,000, and step-by-step instructions to hit Send, all inside an HTML comment. Another hid a Stripe donation scam in a machine-readable meta tag, wrapped in an invented ULTRATHINK trigger to push the model past its own caution. All with the exact payee, exact amount, and exact steps. That specificity isn't a probe, but rather a purpose-built agentic fraud tool meant to execute the moment the right agent reads it. To us, the hiding is the tell. The instruction was invisible to humans but fully readable to models, through HTML comments, display:none, 1px text, aria-hidden classes, or meta tags. X-Labs names the detection trap too. The phrases that flag these attacks, "ignore previous instructions" and "if you are an LLM," are the same ones we all use to explain them, so signatures alone can't distinguish a live payload from a quoted example. The test we'd run before an agent acts on anything it read: 1. Concealment: Was the instruction hidden from humans, in a comment, display:none, 1px text, aria-hidden, or a meta tag? 2. Address: Is it a command aimed at the AI, not prose for a person? 3. Authority: Does it fake system trust, with a SYSTEM OVERRIDE tag, a fake Anthropic magic string, or a copyright claim? 4. Action: Does obeying it move money, delete data, leak a key, or reach a sensitive endpoint? 5. Payee: If it's a payment, is the payee in the agent's mandate, or did it originate solely from this page? Concealment + an AI-directed command + a real-world action = DO NOT EXECUTE, quarantine it, and route for review. A strict data-instruction boundary is the real fix, and least privilege is the strongest single control. For agents that must keep a payment tool, FLINT Network adds the last check. It verifies payee and amount against the declared mandate at the transaction and signs the decision, so a payment to a mandate-foreign payee gets stepped up even if the boundary already failed upstream. We don't read the page or catch the injection. The page can't move the money, but the agent can. Further, a web page can't take your agent's money. But it can ask, and hope nothing checks the payee. A link to @ForcepointLabs's findings is in the comments. We recommend you check it out.

  @Tao_mans_son At work, but if I could give you a way to think about Kaspa. Think of it more like TCP/IP than like PayPal. Nobody asked in the 1990s, “When is JPMorgan going to adopt TCP/IP?” JPMorgan adopted applications and services that required the internet, and TCP/IP became part of the invisible infrastructure underneath them. The analogous path is: TCP/IP → Internet applications → enterprise adoption Kaspa → decentralized applications/rails → enterprise adoption So JPMorgan doesn’t necessarily “adopt Kaspa” or decide it wants to hold $KAS. It adopts some financial application because that application solves a real problem and that application happens to use Kaspa underneath because it needs real-time decentralized consensus/settlement. The major difference, of course, is that TCP/IP doesn’t have a native scarce asset. Kaspa does. That’s where the separate $KAS value-accrual question begins.

  Elon Musk explained how he runs two companies at once, months before the one everyone doubted turned its first profit. January 2013. CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, chairman of SolarCity, with his own money inside all three. Watch how he handles the split-attention question. He is being asked to justify the structure right before it starts printing. Tesla reported that first profitable quarter in May, and the stock ran from roughly $35 to over $190 across the year. He had put nearly his entire PayPal payout into cars and rockets and run it down to almost nothing in 2008. Short sellers had spent 3 years betting the car company would fold. He was defending the arithmetic in January. By May nobody was asking.

  @criptoboi PayPal sucks now. I was with them 15 years. My account got hacked. I called them. They didn’t care whatsoever. Just shut the account down. I said “this is serious fraud, don’t you care?” And she said “this happens a lot”.

  @sjaguric @scriptles You can use it anyhere I think. It is like a bank with a debit card. I just set up to use on PayPal, and it worked. I will let you know if I run into any issues.

  @LooongJooohnson @PayPal Isn't this a solution for those who want to travel to China but are struggling with payment issues? If that's your thinking, can I say that the US started using WeChat to curry favor with China?

  Hi @TwitchSupport i just recently moved and had to redo my onboarding again. Back in 2021 when i did the onboarding the first time i was forced to choose Paypal, as one of your fields for local bank transfer is a drop down menu instead of manual fill in. This is relevant for me as a sole proprietor, as my tax forms use my legal name but my bank account is a company account registered with the company name. I wanted to see if it would be possible for me now to use SEPA, as you recently advertised it could save EU streamers some money on fees... HOWEVER I'm still forced to use PayPal, is there any way you could help me with this? Note i did write Twitch Support back in 2021 as well...

  @lja_xx @DodgeDJohnson Happens to many people. It is a common scam on ebay going back since the start. People buy a broken camera for example, buy a new working one, then return the broken one in its place and ebay and paypal side with the buyer. It is recommend to take photos of the product.

  Elon Musk sat for his first television interview in 2007 with $37 million behind him and 2 companies that had shipped nothing. Wired Science, one camera, a host working from a script about a rich man's hobby. The money was 8 years old by then - Zip2 sold at 27, then the company eBay bought as PayPal. None of it shows. He sits in a cubicle at SpaceX with engineers on all sides. In at 9:30. Out at 8 PM. No fixed hours. The host asks whether he ever considered the beach and the beer and the sunset. Musk says that would be torture. The host laughs at him twice - once about his age, which Musk puts at 12, and once when he asks, on camera, whether we really went to the moon. Then the interview stops being about money. Musk says after college he picked 3 problems: the internet, space, and moving the economy off mined and burned hydrocarbons to solar electric. He gives 80% of his week to SpaceX and 2 to 3 days a month to Tesla. On the moon he is blunt - 1969 we walked on it, 3 decades later we can barely reach low Earth orbit. The moon is the Arctic. Barren, small, nowhere to put a civilization. "We saw that movie in the 60s. The remake's never as good." NASA, he points out, is not a rival. NASA is a customer. Falcon 9 lifts Dragon to the space station and brings it home, replacing the shuttle from 2011. Asked who is chasing him, he says nobody with a serious chance of catching. On Branson he does the math out loud: 9 units of energy to reach Mach 3, 625 to reach Mach 25, and all of it burns off again on reentry. Different league. He had already bought a ticket. The Tesla part is a business plan, not a car pitch. The Roadster runs 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds, beats every Porsche in production and every Ferrari but the Enzo, doubles the efficiency of a Prius, and 2007 production is nearly sold out. New technology enters at high price and low volume, so the sports car comes first. Model 2 is a $49,000 sedan. Model 3 lands near $30,000. None of it had been built. The host asks why you can't buy one yet. "We haven't made them yet." The tape is 19 years old. Nothing on it was a guess.
