Holy shit… 4TB of job INTERVIEWS, RESUMES, and AI SECRETS just leaked from a $10 BILLION startup.
MERCOR uses AI to match people with high-paying gigs and literally records your face, voice, KYC docs and keeps it forever to “match” you with jobs.
Your FACE + VOICE + ID could be on the dark web right now.
Hackers (Lapsus$) claim they stole 4 TB through the company’s Tailscale VPN:
- 211 GB of candidate resumes and personal data
- Terabytes of video interviews + passport + KYC docs
- Almost 1 TB of source code
damn that Claude Mythos "God Tier" at Cyber stuff got into the wrong hands lol

Update! Geopolitical markets that are unrelated to war also have fees on, thereby breaking the pledge made by @Polymarket to not have fees on these markets
Roastinator.exe@DengXonPM
A sad development. Geopolitical markets (which have 0% fees), are being gradually phased out to divert liquidity into revenue generating markets for the site.

@DengXonPM @Polymarket it was not a good sign when large amounts of private capital flew inwards to polymarket last year, but like i didnt expect the enshittification to happen THIS FAST

UPDATE : Polymarket changed it's fee fromula over night ⚠️
Now it's not bonders that are screwed but risk takers
Especially in the Economics category where fees reach *94%* (ninety-four) for 0.1c buys
formula went from :
fee = C × p x feeRate × (p × (1 - p))^exponent
to :
fee = C × feeRate × (p × (1 - p))^exponent
And clearly polymarket didn't think of plotting the fee curves before going live because this is absolutely insane.
This is because the exponent for Weather and Economics is 0.5 instead of 1 for other markets, so the curve behaves very differently at the extremes.
This is more than likely and oversight and will be reverse soon, but damn that was an insane thing to let through even by mistake

New Polymarkets fees are a HUGE nerf to bonding 📉 the fee rate drop off as you approach 99c, but not as fast as your profit margin Before the fees ✅ You buy $100 worth of bonds at 99c on an Economics market 100 / 0.99 = 101.01 shares profit for $100 invested = $1.01 After the fees ❌ You buy $100 worth of bonds at 99c on an Economics market Fee rate on Economics category at 99c = 0.3% profit for $100 invested = $1.01 - $0.3030 = $0.7070 That means fees alone cut your bonding profit by 30% !!! Fees are the highest on Economics markets but others are hurt hard too. Crypto: Effective rate at 99c= 0.07% bond profit loss = 7.0% Politics / Finance / Tech: Effective rate at 99c = 0.04% bond profit loss = 4.0% Weather: Effective rate at 99c = ~$0.25% bond profit loss = 25.0% !!! These are huge nerfs for a strategy that already relies on small margins. Traders will have to take more risks. Expect to see some old time whales decline, only the best will survive

@25usdc so it's just enshittification, VAP hook of low fees, and then while the users are relaxed and comfortable, rip the curtains off, and abuse your defacto duopoly status to suck as much as possible.
HONESTLY WHAT WERE WE EXPECTING WHEN THEY WERE BEING VALUED AT 20 BIL+
English
The fee model has been reworked, making the chart I shared outdated. The new fees are now closer to Kalshi
I'll share a detailed overview and stats once the fees are finalized. Currently, the $94.82 fee on a $100 market buy at 0.1ct in Economics markets is hard to take seriously
25usdc@25usdc
Polymarket soon charges fees Understanding how they work is key to trading profitably Fees apply only to takers, while makers earn 20%+ rebates. Geopolitics and global event markets remain fee-free Here is a comparison across categories, including Kalshi (different fee curve)

@TheNotoriousSKi @CarOnPolymarket yo u do massive bets, has this been happening to you as well? if so ... say it with me
#polyscam
English
Polymarket have fucked up their new fee implementation & are overcharging users up to 1000x
Example:
$1 buy in a crypto market priced @ 1c
$1 bet @ 0.01 gets you only 92.9 shares, a 7.1 share fee
Docs say effective fee rate should be 0.07%
100x odds turns into 92.9x post fees

The Philippines has made 3 demands of Roblox ahead of the April 10th deadline, otherwise, they may face a national ban.
1. Roblox must establish a physical office in the Philippines
2. Roblox must overhaul its age verification protocols, rather than using facial recognition or self-declared birthdays, instead they are recommending the Philippine Identification System, which is a National ID System.
3. Roblox must provide authorities with "necessary information to track down digital predators and cybercriminals"
Secretary of the DICT, Henry Aguda, stated that the process will uphold legal safety net and due process, requiring court orders and subpoenas.

The IDF took what appears to be unprecedented action against the battalion involved in my team's assault & detention.
In many ways, that's due to our position as US journalists. In too many cases involving Palestinian journalists & civilians, we've seen a lack of accountability.

@GBX_Press this video is horrible dude, we're literally about to see a guy get his brains blowed out

He stole $110 million from a crypto protocol, announced it himself on Twitter, negotiated to keep $47 million of it, and then watched a jury convict him on every count.
> His name is Avraham Eisenberg.
> He deposited $5 million into Mango Markets across two anonymous wallets.
> He bought and sold the same contract between his own accounts pumping the price 1,300% in 20 minutes.
> The platform's code saw the fake price as real collateral.
> He borrowed $110 million against it and walked out.
> Hours later he tweeted from his real account calling it "a highly profitable trading strategy."
> He submitted a proposal to the platform's DAO to return $67 million and keep $47 million as a settlement.
> The DAO rejected it. He kept the money anyway.
> The FBI found his Google search history, he was searching "statute of limitations market manipulation."
> A jury convicted him on all counts in April 2024.
> Then a federal judge threw out every conviction.
> The ruling: the platform had no rules against what he did and the case was filed in the wrong court.
> The $110 million charge was gone.
> But when the FBI raided his apartment during the original arrest they found something else on his devices.
> He pleaded guilty to possession of child sexual abuse material.
> He is serving 4 years for that.
He beat the biggest crypto fraud conviction in history on a technicality. He is in prison anyway. For something the FBI found while they were looking for the money.
