@NobelPrize Who are you to say what can and cant be done symbolically? Wild

Statement from the Nobel Foundation
One of the core missions of the Nobel Foundation is to safeguard the dignity of the Nobel Prizes and their administration. The Foundation upholds Alfred Nobel’s will and its stipulations. It states that the prizes shall be awarded to those who "have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind," and it specifies who has the right to award each respective prize. A prize can therefore not, even symbolically, be passed on or further distributed.
For additional information, please refer to the Norwegian Nobel Committee: nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-re…

@sweatystartup I want to buy a nice bottle of whisky for my office. What do you recommend?

I spent $60k on an executive health retreat. Full body MRIs, biomarker optimization, all of that.
The foundation of our plan:
A 3 day fast 1x a quarter.
I'm 32 hours into a 72 hour fast. This is my 5th one.
Ask me anything!

@frankdegods accidentally vibe coded a tool more useful than the entire Degods roadmap
English
just mass cancelled $27k/year in subscriptions
made a claude code skill that:
1. reads credit card statements/extracts subscriptions
2. automatically asks follow-up q's to clarify which ones you want to cancel
3. actually opens chrome and literally cancels them for you

@KimDotcom @wikileaks I'd always assumed you had something to do with the encryption on wikileaks servers and thats why you were targeted
English
One of reasons I was targeted was because Megaupload gave money to Wikileaks. And after I founded MEGA, Wikileaks got another USD 100k.
I would have done nothing different. Thank you @Wikileaks for showing us who the evildoers are.

@marcobrondani Wtf is this narcissistic dribble. Please don't tell me this is an attempt to start a new project/community. If so, that's diabolical. It's time for some self reflection.
English
Success in business is about choices. FV made the worst decisions at practically every junction. Whether by intent or delusional stupidity, I'll never truly know. Probably both.

@marcobrondani SUDDENLY?! You speak as if you weren’t around for the years the community had been pointing out every detail that would lead to precisely this outcome.

@flufmagicdragon @cursor_ai Big aws outages currently. Might be affecting?
English
@cursor_ai - is there an issue with Cursor at present? Connectivity to your platform seems to be an issue, with my IDE flipping between 'Free plan' and 'Ultra Plan' (which I am paying $300 a month for) causing failures when trying to use certain models. I can't even connect to the dashboard to check for updates!

@madch0ps Great read so far. You're a talented storyteller, which is an underrated skill. Interesting to learn of your experience dealing with fv. Curious to know more about the chap at the party claiming to work with the government. Can you flesh that out anymore than you have?

Kneecapped, but not dead yet, we kept going as the V2 and swap contracts were being built. This was the process we should have been in before launch, and the resulting work was brilliant and bulletproof. I spent a lot of time brainstorming next steps, while trying to grapple with a lot of unanswered questions lingering in my mind.
As we slimmed our pipeline to maximize the runway we had left, we did a lot of community creation sessions where we facilitated learning and collaboration with Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, Dall-E, and other AI Art creation platforms.
Our relationship with what became Futureverse was broken, but didn’t seem hostile. Given our frequent sessions with Stable Diffusion and other free or open source platforms, when Aaron announced an upcoming “Fused Diffusion” phase for Thingies, naturally, I had some questions. That post and my initial response (pics) are below.
I wasn’t the first person to question their plans, but it was my first time openly doing so. The reaction was really, really unexpected and… oddly disproportionate.
Aaron and I had the visible exchange as you can see in full if you look up the tweet, but while that was happening, Aaron went into their Discord and did an @ -everyone post in their gen chat to tell their entire audience that the current exchange taking place was from a toxic and negative person. It was an escalation that welcomed the entire community to join. They did. I was being barraged with insults, and Aaron fanned the flames of antagonization, although he deleted many of his messages (see; Wayback Machine).
At that time, I had both David and Aaron in separate DMs. David was pretty civil, but upset, and I understood his position about my questioning trivializing the work of the teams creating “Fused Diffusion.” I always respected those people and that was not my intention. Aaron’s DMs came as I was responding to myriad attacks on my character, brought on by his weaponization of their Discord and community. He also delivered a message I can only perceive as a threat:
“And if you want to openly question the honesty of other people[‘]s projects I’m ready to fire back too.”
Now let’s be real. There are a lot of people who have openly questioned FV. How many of them got this nuclear reaction? If the answer is zero, then what motivated such a nuclear reaction on me? Was I really that out of line? What didn’t I know? Or, what did I know, that maybe positioned me as being perceived as a threat worthy of that reaction?
Furthermore, had I not been honest about something? Wasn’t I in Spaces and chats and present constantly facing up to public scrutiny despite faceplanting with our mint? What *would* he have “fired back” to discredit my honesty about?
I’ve shared the good and the bad, things that outright embarrass me, things that acknowledge the very public failures I’ve made. I am still here, and I don’t care if anyone has anything they want to question publicly. I welcome it. I made mistakes because I tried something very bold, and I will never be ashamed of that.
That was when I left many of the Fluf-related discords and cut all ties completely. I stopped engaging entirely, and slowly sold the rest of my assets. I’ve still got a Flufthulu-trait Thingie, a gift to me from a kind person and a beloved reminder of the collaborative vibes we once had. I’ve been trying to negotiate acquisition of the 2nd, matching-trait Thingie for 3 years, and if it’s accepted, I’ll buy it.
So, this is my story of my experience with Futureverse. Well, technically, I was out before the rollup even happened.
Shortly after these incidents, the V2, final, revealed iteration of the Relic project went live. I cringe at the thought of explaining any specific interpretations of my Art, but the Relic is and has always been about messages, sent and received. It was made for this moment, and I have waited years for those messages to finally reveal themselves.

(2 left) This was the most stressful day of my life. ((This is a 2-parter, see my comment in the thread for part 2.)) In the weeks prior, every single person on our team had multiple attempts at breaches of all of our personal devices and social accounts. We met to make clear that no links should be trusted. The day before launch, we were rushing to complete the pre-reveal asset. When it was done, we sent it to Jason (CTO) to implement. We were expecting the Blaze team to do the contract. We later found out that Jason had debts with them, and to cut corners, he instead had his right-hand man, Saravana, make it. 1st mistake. Saravana, instead of being a gud solidity dev, used the OpenSea template contract to save time. The contract was secure. But because Jason was worried the large (2,000+) allowlist would make gas expensive if it was coded into the contract itself, he used a webservice that the contract communicated with to allow allowlisters. 2nd mistake. Jason greatly underestimated demand, and the attention we had drawn. But ultimately, I was the CEO, and I took responsibility for the decision to move forward, not fully aware of what might happen. In the final lead-up, I was speaking in a Space with Accelerate Art. Their team is basically “the” cabal, if there ever was one. Just before I got up to talk, I got a message from Jason. Our site being DDOS’d. He quickly put a fix in. As I got up to speak on the Space, the mint began. I was distracted, refreshing the mint count constantly. Immediately, it started FLYING. My phone was blowing up, at first in celebration. “Dave” then got into the Space and on stage. He spoke and immediately began harassing me. We were at 1,000. 2,500. 3,500. Then Jason realized what was happening. Panic. I jumped off the Space. We pulled the plug after ~5,500 mints were taken, subverting the allowlist, giving access to free mints. This all happened in the span of 5 minutes. The secondary market flooded with below-mint prices. It all happened so fast. We were cooked. A deluge of messages in Discord struck. Many bots and new faces. We were being ridiculed relentlessly. I remember MaxPoker and Somnium mocking us in our Discord, referencing “buttered toast” and tools. I found the main party responsible for the swarm of mint-botting tools, and confronted their lead. He encouraged even more people to agitate us. Jason called me. He tried to prime me for even worse news. Few people knew about this, because I wanted to hunt the perp. A hacker going by “Oscar” had infiltrated Saravana’s computer, and hijacked our contract. He wanted a ransom of ~2ETH to give it back. We paid it, and luckily, got it back. I took control of it personally and quickly changed permissions and the royalty fee destination. We called around to get any advisors we could to help us figure a path forward. We asked Jason to give us discrete details on what just happened. We hosted another Space to announce everything. On that space, the lead from the mint-botting tools group came on. I was still so frazzled. But for years, I have sat with this BIG question mark. This guy, “Zion” (NFT Sensei), a New Zealand dev, felt compelled to chest-pound about their stolen mints and say it would allow his people to buy McDonald’s. Video below. Jason was asked to step down, but fix the mess first. We fielded hundreds of service tickets and manually verified and airdropped over 1,500 Relics to those who were supposed to receive them. Jason paid the fees. Blaze made the swap contract and the V2 contract. The damage was done. But we did keep going. After the mint incident, Alex reached out. He sent me a breakdown from their CTO to tell us what went wrong. It was kinda “loaded” at times. They also waived the $75k investment. We continued to pay it anyway. This loaded post-mortem was leaked to someone in our team and circulated before we could even meet and go through it. Alex insisted it was kept to only a few parties. (see below)
