This man is building a huge deck for a customer. He says he is charging them $42K! 🤯 He said he just installed the bones of the deck and when you invest this much in the structure, you know the finished product is going to be elite. One, I would never pay $42K for a deck. 💯 Two, is this worth $42K? 🤔 Would you ever spend that much money on a deck? Does this look like a $42K job?

DID I LIE? HVAC company sent a coupon with two different expiration dates. Scheduling guy asked me the price on my coupon, I said $49 not $69, felt a little skeevy. So did I lie or simply take advantage of their error because that’s what we do in America?

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days. His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI." This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now. The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.

Thorchain didn't lose $10.7M to a smart contract bug or a stolen key. The bug was in the cryptography itself - and Thorchain probably isn't the only chain running on it. A single attacker bonded RUNE and joined the validator set days before the incident, looking like any legitimate operator. From inside, they exploited what investigators currently believe was a flaw in GG20, the threshold signature library Thorchain uses to co-sign transactions. Each signing session leaked a fragment of private key material to the attacker's node. After enough sessions, they had collected enough leaked data to mathematically reconstruct the vault's full private key. Then they signed unauthorized outbound transactions as the vault. The smart contracts behaved correctly. No validator infrastructure was breached. Funds left through normal channels because the signatures were mathematically valid - just produced by an attacker who had silently rebuilt the key. Here's why this matters beyond Thorchain. GG20 was published in 2020 (Gennaro-Goldfeder). The Alpha-Rays attack (Verichains, 2023) and TSSHOCK at BlackHat 2023 documented practical weaknesses in tss-lib and related implementations. Some teams patched. Many didn't bother. Based on shared library lineage, protocols that should audit their TSS right now include Mayachain (direct THORChain fork), Sygma cross-chain bridge, Keep Network's tBTC v1, and any service still running on bnb-chain/tss-lib or ZenGo-X/multi-party-ecdsa. Major custody and MPC services that already migrated to newer threshold schemes (CGGMP21, DKLs): Fireblocks, Coinbase Custody, Taurus, Silence Laboratories. The industry has been quietly moving away from GG20 for two years. Thorchain just gave everyone still on it a reason to move faster.

Korea with Mandami Characteristics... prob nothing maybe Tech Bros about to get a hard lesson in resource nationalism and people thought O&G or mining was jurisdictionally risky... almost like authorities are behaving like memory is a COMMODITY at least in Argentina i can buy a copper junior at 0.2x NAV (see what I did there?)
