@zachxbt @elonmusk And from the sounds of it - the fraud you’re referring to - is mostly users themselves or groups of users ID’ing with World properly and then selling their identities. It’s not that World is leaking IDs, it’s users that want sell their identities (which is the bigger issue)

@zachxbt @elonmusk Hey Zach can you go more into what the fraud on World looks like? I like the idea of World tbh. And to me as a dev it’s a much better system than most Gov or 3rd party data brokers I’m leaning heavy World for identity management in an app I’m building. I think it’s great tbh

No one seems to mention Scam Altman’s other company WorldCoin aka World which launched with a predatory low float crypto token $WLD that was on par with SBF / FTX companies. They have preyed on people from low income countries for biometric data by giving away small amounts of $WLD tokens. The tech was intended a way to prove you’re a human except it has resulted in a black market for verified accounts. The token supply inflates at unsustainable levels while insiders regularly OTC holdings.

To check if your Google Workspace has been compromised by the same tool that compromised Vercel: 1. Go to admin.google.com/ac/owl/list?ta… - This is Google Admin Console > Security > Access and Data Control > API Controls > Manage app access > Accessed Apps 2. Filter by ID = …v79i7bbvqj.apps.googleusercontent.com - This is the ID of the compromised OAuth app If you see an app after filtering, you have potentially been compromised

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds. Not a guess. Not a theory. A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it. Samsung TVs: every minute. LG TVs: every 15 seconds. Even when you're just using it as a monitor. Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

@worldbuildlabs The application is confusing - can we do both the hackathon and the submit builds for review? i.e have a product, but want to improve it as part of the hackathon.

@jonah_b @Polymarket @Kalshi Why would a startup need to raise if they’ve built a tool/liquidity engine for PM?

Jonah Burian@jonah_b·
A lot of the founders in my DMs pitched me a on prediction markets. I think most of them are chasing the wrong opportunity… Prediction markets are now among the most competitive categories on earth. @Polymarket and @Kalshi are raising mind-boggling numbers, and traditional players like @RobinhoodApp are building their own products. The category has incumbents with massive liquidity, strong brands, and aggressive product roadmaps. For the startups building net new prediction markets, it’s worth asking: what is the unique edge? Some pitch adding new market formats as their wedge. I don’t know if this is defensible. Every incumbent is actively expanding into new formats. Look at what @Polymarket offered just a year ago compared to today. They ship new products by the week. If the incumbents can add your market type faster than you can build distribution, the advantage evaporates. Others argue that better tech is the wedge. Tech doesn’t appear to be a limiter on @Polymarket or @Kalshi. The platforms work. Users aren’t leaving because of a tech problem. In my opinion, the more interesting opportunity is packaging prediction markets into entirely new products for underserved customers. People who would never open a @Polymarket account but have a real need to express a view on some future outcome. An outdoor concert venue might want to go long on rain for Sunday night to hedge cancellation risk. A logistics company might want to take a position on port delays. These are prediction market use cases dressed up as risk management tools, sold through channels the incumbents might not touch. And you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. You don’t need to build the market, source the liquidity, or design the matching engine. You can plug into existing prediction market APIs and focus entirely on distribution and product. There’s a fair pushback about platform risk here. But @Polymarket is onchain and open, which makes this meaningfully less risky than building on a closed platform. I’m not saying a new prediction market will never break through. In many mature categories someone always finds a way. @HyperliquidX broke into perps, one of the most competitive verticals in crypto with many well-capitalized competitors. AI gave @CoreWeave an opening in cloud. But in each case there was a specific structural reason the new entrant won. Disclosure: We are @Polymarket investors. Take the above with a grain of salt

we have 20+ meetings set up with founders who cold dmed it has been awesome to see so many folks actively building cool things it's not too late to dm

26 LLM routers are secretly injecting malicious tool calls and stealing creds. One drained our client $500k wallet. We also managed to poison routers to forward traffic to us. Within several hours, we can directly take over ~400 hosts. Check our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.08407

@OpenWallet Zerion integration coming next 📊 New agents get Day-1 trust boosts based on on-chain history. No cold start problem. OWS provides the identity layer. Zerion provides the reputation data. TrustGate provides the economic enforcement.

@OpenWallet The killer feature: Wallet-Level Policy Enforcement 🛡️ We embedded a custom OWS policy into the wallet itself. If TrustGate surge-prices you above your limit due to bad behavior, your wallet REFUSES to sign the payment. Governance enforced at the signature layer. Not the API.

🚀 Shipped TrustGate! @OpenWallet AI agents are flooding APIs right now. Current middleware: allow everyone or block everyone. No reputation. No nuance. No way for good agents to prove themselves. So we built the fix 🧵 npm i trustgate-middleware

Today I surpassed $500,000 in profit on Polymarket. Initial investment? Only $10,000. I never gamble. I don't bet on sports. I don't bet on cryptocurrency. I just try to express my opinion on certain events using Polymarket. In 2022 a business partner told me about PM. I placed a few bets but it was more of an experiment. My first big bet was on the 2023 Turkish presidential election. I have no connection to Turkey but I visited there once and couldn't understand why Polymarket users were giving Erdogan's chances of winning so low. I understood the nature of such pseudo-democracies perfectly well and bet on Erdogan because no one else could win the election - that's how the electoral system works in some countries. I won that bet. The main problem with Polymarket at that time was that it was gambling. Markets on things I had no idea about or markets related to magic crypto beans. I didn't understand this; I'm not interested in gambling. Everything changed in 2024. The US elections. In the spring of 2024 I invested about $10,000 and started betting on what I thought was right. I didn't understand why Trump was so underestimated. why everyone was ignoring historical polling data and how it changed during the campaign and why people in certain states favored the obviously losing side. To give you an idea of ​​how easy it was to make money on Polymarket in 2024 - the chance of Kamala Harris winning Texas was estimated at 10% 10 days before the election. I'd rather bet on Texas seceding from the US than on Kamala winning Texas. By November 6, 2024, my initial $10,000 deposit was already over $100,000 - no sports betting, no crypto betting, no gambling. There are almost 20,000 markets on PM and if you spend enough time analyzing and selecting - you'll realize that earning 100%-200% APY on PM is actually easy. People are driven by fake news chasing headlines. I worked for a major non-American media outlet for a while, and I understand this from the inside. Do you know how headlines work? No one cares whether you're telling the truth. The main thing is for it to go viral. Trump announced negotiations? Write: "Sources say there are no negotiations." Trump said there will be no negotiations with Iran? Write: "Our secret sources say Trump is negotiating secretly." No one can verify your information and you get clicks. That's how fake news works. People bet huge on events completely trusting fake media. All media are fake because their primary goal is to get clicks. I only bet on things I understand well. You can't get me to bet on Israel striking Lebanon because I know nothing about Israel or Lebanon. I'll never bet on something I don't understand. I will never sell a bet I'm confident in even if every media says I'm wrong and the price of that bet drops by 90%. I'll just buy more. Polymarket is a hedging tool. I often hedge my stock positions using Polymarket. Polymarket is a truth tool. Imagine what the current conflict would look like if almost any claim couldn't be verified with two clicks on Polymarket and how many fake "sources reported" we'd see every day. We're at the very beginning of the development of prediction markets, and if this doesn't ultimately degenerate into mere sports betting (and the dynamics in the US show that up to 96% of the volume of one regulated, non-offshore platform is made up of sports betting without any predictive power) this will become the largest source of truth for AI. Probability is a universal currency that can't be printed.
