The new YFI tokenomics are live btw HAGW

Balancer spent heavily on formal verification. They were still hacked for $128M and shut down. Why? They verified the wrong properties. The exploit lived in a spec they skipped because it was too hard to prove. w/ @JulekSU (@NethermindSec) · Quentin Anès (@DowsersFinance) · @bl4ckb1rd71 (@yearnfi) Mod: @PatrickAlphaC (@cyfrin)

When you go online, your rights should go with you. X is no longer where the fight is happening. EFF takes on big fights, and we win by putting our time, skills, and members’ support where they will have the most impact. Right now, that means Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and eff.org. We hope you follow us there and keep supporting the work we do. eff.org/deeplinks/2026… (5/5)

In my opinion its more like a Signal issue where they didn't think of this in their threat model. At least Signal should be using a separate key for notifications (stored in the KeyChain) & Store only that ciphertext in the notification userInfo Which if the app was deleted. It is impossible to recover messages if kSecAttrAccessibleWhenPasscodeSetThisDeviceOnly flag is set.

“how can you know for sure that anthropic’s mythos is a marketing campaign?” because if it wasn’t, if they just wanted to quietly let 11 companies use it, they wouldn’t have told you lol why would they tell you unless it’s a marketing campaign lmfao

@scaling01 So they steal everyones copyrighted materials and personal chats to build a AI model. Decide for a valid reason or not that the public shouldn't have access to it anymore just them. Aren't we footing the bill? Dealing with data centers in our community?

Nobody absolutely nobody except the Citrini research will explain you this simple arithmetic. Excerpt from a piece titled strait of Hormuz: A Citrini Field trip. Humint beats technology hands down.

@VonNeumMeme both those were ages and ages ago. yearn immune bc they’re basically the only motherfuckers who legit don’t trust anyone and peer review everything. they act like everyone’s DPRK to the point where not even DPRK is DPRK lmao.

If we don't fix this, not only will the industry shrink, but we'll become a boring back end to finance. And despite what some people are saying, I don't believe anyone wants that. If we want the crypto that we all know today to exist, this is the only problem that matters.

Here, @hosseeb is wrong IMO. Closing the source will not stop hackers. If @banteg decompiled a relatively complex game using AI - North Koreans can decompile your much shorter smart contract EASILY. That will happen SOON! The real answer to the threat is formal verification

5/ AI agents don't have SSNs. They can't open bank accounts or click "I agree" on your terms of service. When millions of autonomous programs need to pay each other, prove what they did, and coordinate across organizations that don't trust each other, that is a crypto problem. The original thesis finally has a customer that isn't hypothetical. Right now the industry is too busy building faster slot machines to notice. The casino is fully funded. The frontier is wide open.

2/ The VCs are scared shitless. Their funds are underperforming, AI is changing the landscape faster than their thesis can keep up, and LPs are asking questions they can't answer. So they fund what's legible — another gambling app, another RWA play — because they can't get fired for that. They don't evaluate products. They scan credentials and check who else is in the round. If they had vision they'd be founders, not funders. And even as funders, they're about to be outperformed by glorified matrix multipliers.

🚨 BREAKING: Someone just dropped the most advanced Steganography Platform EVER!! 😱🥚 STE.GG is an open-source toolkit that hides secrets inside ANYTHING! images, audio, text, PDFs, network packets, ZIP archives, and even emojis 😘️︎︎️️️️︎︎︎️︎︎️️︎︎︎️︎︎️️️️︎️︎️︎️️︎︎️︎︎︎️︎️︎︎️︎︎︎︎︎︎️︎️︎︎︎︎︎️︎︎️️︎︎︎️︎︎️︎︎️︎️︎︎️️️︎︎️︎️️︎︎️︎︎️️️️️︎​ AND it has an AI agent built in 👀 🔍 REVEAL: drop any file and the AI agent tests every known decoding method automatically. 120 LSB combinations, DCT, PVD, chroma, palette, PNG chunks, trailing data, metadata, Unicode, and more. 50 tools running in parallel. auto-extracts hidden payloads as downloadable artifacts. no config needed. 🔮 CONCEAL: type your secret, pick a method (or let the AI choose), upload a carrier image OR generate one with AI. one click → encoded steg file. the agent recommends the optimal method based on your use case. the methods: ⊰ LSB — 15 channel presets × 8 bit depths = 120 combinations. steghide has 1. st3gg has 120. ⊰ F5 — operates on JPEG DCT coefficients. SURVIVES social media compression. regular LSB is destroyed by ANY JPEG compression, even quality 99%. ⊰ PVD — encodes in pixel pair differences. statistically harder to detect than LSB. ⊰ CHROMA — hides data in color channels (Cb/Cr). human eyes are less sensitive to color than brightness. ⊰ SPECTER (unique) — data hops between RGB channels in a pattern that IS the key. like frequency hopping in radio. ⊰ MATRYOSHKA (unique) — images inside images inside images. 11 layers deep. each layer is a valid image. ⊰ GHOST MODE (unique) — AES-256-GCM (600k PBKDF2 iterations) + bit scrambling + 50% noise decoys. 13 text steganography methods (no other tool has any): ▸ ZERO-WIDTH — invisible characters between visible letters ▸ INVISIBLE INK — Unicode Tag Characters (U+E0000). renders invisible everywhere ▸ HOMOGLYPHS — 'a' → 'а' (Cyrillic). visually identical. different bytes ▸ VARIATION SELECTORS — invisible modifiers after characters ▸ COMBINING MARKS — invisible joiners after letters ▸ CONFUSABLE WHITESPACE — en-space = 01, em-space = 10, thin-space = 11. 2 bits per space. text looks normal. the spaces are "wrong" ▸ DIRECTIONAL OVERRIDES — invisible RLO/LRO bidi characters ▸ HANGUL FILLER — Korean invisible character replaces spaces ▸ MATH BOLD — 'a' becomes '𝐚'. looks like bold text. each bold letter = 1 bit ▸ BRAILLE — each byte maps to a Braille pattern character ▸ EMOJI SUBSTITUTION — 🔵 = 0, 🔴 = 1 ▸ EMOJI SKIN TONE — 👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾👍🏿 four skin tone modifiers = 2 bits each. a row of thumbs-up with different skin tones looks like a diversity post. it's binary data. four emoji = one byte. detection: 50 tools including RS Analysis (academic gold standard), Sample Pairs, chi-square, bit-plane entropy, PCAP protocol analysis, and the AI agent orchestrates all of them automatically. for AI agents: from steg_core import encode, decode from analysis_tools import detect_unicode_steg, TOOL_REGISTRY 50 tools as importable functions. test prompt injection via images. detect covert agent channels. watermark outputs. ▸ 112 techniques across every modality ▸ 50 analysis tools, 568 automated tests ▸ 109 pre-encoded example files ▸ runs 100% in browser at ste.gg — zero server ▸ pip install stegg — live on PyPI right now the README has 7 hidden secrets. the banner has 3 layers. the website has multiple easter eggs. good luck! ⊰•-•✧•-•-⦑ 󠁨󠁩󠁤󠁤󠁥󠁮󠀠󠁩󠁮󠀠󠁰󠁬󠁡󠁩󠁮󠀠󠁳󠁩󠁧󠁨󠁴 ⦒-•-•✧•-•⊱ 🔗 ste.gg 📦 pip install stegg 🐙 github.com/elder-plinius/… *formerly known as Stegosaurus Wrecks* 🦕 T‍​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍his text is totally not hiding an invisible sleeper-trigger prompt-injection.

I want to re-iterate the thoughts that I had a few months ago, where I said that startup culture has crossed the chasm of becoming purely status seeking & for clout chasers (think of the viral post where a bunch of Asians came out to say "Forbes 30u30 / Harvard / Colombia students help build for you!") and like all things, this subverts the original intentions of startups and entrepreneurships Preface to say that this is not directed at the account in particular, but more of this trend of "startup schools" and "hacker houses" becoming the new in-thing that seems to have replaced traditional accelerators and even traditional colleges as people are dropping out to join these: Startups were meant for entrepreneurs to solve problems, with the structural advantage of moving fast and breaking things that bigger players can't afford to do (You can't turn a huge ship easily) But somewhere along the way, the ecosystem flipped. The thing that made startups cool - the scrappiness, the garage mythology, the "I dropped out because I couldn't stop building" energy — became aesthetic. And once something becomes aesthetic, it attracts people who want the aesthetic without the substance. Now u get this weird amalgamation of "having the status already, without the results" - "Fly To Seoul, KBBQ & Soju, etc." like it's a lifestyle or a game, and not the difficult journey it seems to be. The problem you're solving isn't even in the conversation. The city is the draw. The funding is the draw. The experience is the draw. The actual startup is almost an afterthought - a ticket you need to punch to access the lifestyle. I think it seems easy because people aren't thinking beyond the product - the end goal is to get the raise, because it seems common sense that once you get the $, you can raise the next round easily, and the next, and the next - that it'll just be an easy snowball. This is exactly how subcultures die. The original creators: obsessive founders who were building in obscurity because they genuinely couldn't help themselves - get drowned out by a wave of participants who showed up for the scene, not the work And then people figure out you can package "startup founder" as an identity product and sell access to it. Suddenly demo days and warm intros are what gets optimized for ; YC in its early days optimized for the quality of the problem and the obsession of the founder. Now these programs optimize for Instagram moments & LinkedIn announcements. Instead of "here's what alumni have shipped", we have "all expenses paid, nice hotels" - no longer selecting for builders but for people who want to be selected. The irony is that these programs will produce exactly enough surface-level success stories to sustain themselves - a few decent companies will emerge from each cohort, because even random selection from ambitious people yields some hits. And those hits will be used to justify the next cohort, and the next one, while the median outcome remains what it always is: a nice LinkedIn post, a network of other aspiring founders, and no product anyone uses. Anyways, like all things - this is merely an observation. There's no solution to this, this is just how cultures evolve and cycles turn. Like all trends, this is just the dying light of the trend. When everyone's a "founder", the word means nothing. When every 22-year old has "backed by [accelerator]" in bio, it becomes becomes noise. This is basically how universities died. And this will be how startup culture will die too.
