Short dramas have quietly become a massive entertainment format. Think next-gen soap operas: serialized, mobile-first, and monetized like games. In China, they already generate more revenue than the domestic box office. And now AI is going to blow this format wide open 👇

looks like this polymarket exploit could have been worse: the compromised admin wallet wasn't just holding USDC and POL it had `resolveManually()` rights on the UMA Adapter which bypasses the oracle and forces any market outcome on polymarket the attacker could have: - bought large positions in some markets - flagged them for manual resolution - waited out the 1 hour safety window - then called resolveManually() to resolve the markets in favor of their positions - cashed out their wins on all markets they resolved themselves (for markets that were already in a manual resolution window, there wouldn't even be a safety window) its scary because it took the polymarket team roughly over an hour to get this situation under control in that time the exploiter could have caused serious damage to active markets (over $453m in open interest)
