@dadiomov Only 20% of seed stage venture investments succeed. Venture is a terrible investment class!!!

Hot take: saying 20% of token spend "makes it to the product" isn't a sign of inefficiency, it's just how work works. Much human work is maintenance, rework, and bug fixing. So saying that fixing bugs and reworking things to be more efficient is not real work misses the point.

This is what we've been seeing with every company we work with. Try justifying spending 100k on token spend when only 18k even makes it to a stable prod feature. In the rush to maximize AI token spend, companies are wasting over 44% on bug fixes

@shweta_ai @grok what place in SF serves this salmon avocado sashimi

@HunterQThompson Exactly. Right now only the rich get a private wealth manager, to grow and protect their wealth, while the 99% need to figure things out for themselves on top of their day job, side hustle and real life.
Everyone should have the right to grow and protect their wealth.

Yes AI adds value. You shouldn’t need to figure out the task-specific breakdown to achieve what you want. With agents, apps have the potential to become intent-based instead of manual and task based. That matches the speed at which we love life today, and improves the lives for people with non-linear thinking

Why deal with 5 vendors when 1 has optimized across the entire stack for your narrow use case?
S/o @DanteReminick for the great pod.

There are already thousands of blockchains. So why are we still building new ones? On the latest Stable Pulse: What’s Next Beat, @DanteReminick asks @SeismicSys CEO and Founder @lyronctk why existing chains still may not be enough for real-world stablecoin payments. Because scaling stablecoins takes more than speed. It takes compliance. Privacy. Fiat connectivity. Infrastructure institutions can actually use. A sharp conversation on where stablecoin infrastructure is actually heading, and why the next phase of financial infrastructure may look very different from the last cycle. Catch the full episode👇

AI adoption at work has a lot to do with calendars:
- 4 hours of uninterrupted deep focus time, easier to experiment with AI
- back-to-back calls with reactive slack work, not as easy
legit so grateful @privy_io has AI days and office hours to help those of us in calendar hell

@tednotlasso I go with fintech more than digital assets. But never crypto.

JUST IN: JPMorgan, Morgan Stanley and BlackRock are now hiring for dozens of crypto jobs

@dadiomov I think the friction is more around agents being able to have bank accounts (seems dubious). The wallet will be the financial home of the agent, and they might spend on stablecoin cards or with stables if the option is available.
English
I don't understand the premise that "agents must use stablecoins."
Why can't an agent remember the 16 digits of a credit card?
Sorry maybe I'm a payments n00b. Stablecoins have a lot of great use cases, but ecommerce shopping is pretty well optimized already for cards.

Spending stables has never been easier. Excited that the Slush card is a reality!!

Sui assets + stables. Spend what’s yours, anywhere, anytime. 🧵
