@spengrah not really convinced, AI labs are highly incentivized to buy/steal every piece of data on the planet and integrate it directly into the base LLMs. a piece of proprietary data has near zero marginal value when you have everything every human ever produced in the model params.

@boredGenius the scarce resource will be proprietary data/context i think there's a chance that, in some scenarios / use cases / workloads, proprietary data is a sticky enough point of integration that a valuable (hireable) agent can be built around it

What will agents actually pay for? If it’s paying for APIs or products like a human would, then it’s quite boring. My agent paying for my flights is only marginally better than me doing it myself, if not worse. Agents won’t hire other agents either. If not these, then what?

@spengrah Base models will get good enough (if they're not already good enough) so that it can do anything by itself or with orchestration. Agents hiring agents adds unnecessary friction & not much benefits.

@boredGenius curious to hear more about why you think agents won't hire other agents i've been going back and forth about this myself

Incredibly based, burgers keep winning

I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K. I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it. - #1 — Attackathon | Stacks - #2 — Attackathon | Stacks II - #1 — Attackathon | XRPL Lending Protocol - 1 Critical and 1 High from bug bounties (not counting this one) Life was good. Then I found a Critical vulnerability in @injective . This vulnerability allowed any user to directly drain any account on the chain. No special permissions needed. Over $500M in on-chain assets were at risk. I reported it through Immunefi. The next day, a mainnet upgrade to fix the bug went to governance vote. The Injective team clearly understood the severity. Then — silence. For 3 months. No follow up. No technical discussion. Nothing. A few days ago, they notified me of their decision: $50K. The maximum payout for a Critical vulnerability in their bug bounty program is $500K. I disputed it. Silence again. No explanation for the reduced payout. No explanation for the 3 month ghost. No conversation at all. To be clear: the $50K has not been paid either. I've seen others share bad experiences with bug bounty payouts recently. I never thought it would happen to me. I can't force them to do the right thing. But I won't let this be forgotten. I will dedicate 10% of all my future bug bounty earnings to making sure this story stays visible — until Injective pays what I deserve. Full Technical Report: github.com/injective-wall…

@andreaslbigger Ayyo this is fire 🔥🫡

Wow this has to be the best news I’ve ever read! Free Iran, US forever number 1🫡

@steipete @Barabazs_ @openclaw Sorry missed this, here you go: github.com/ZeframLou/call… Seems this commit basically copied and pasted CallMe into openclaw: github.com/openclaw/openc…

@boredGenius @Barabazs_ @openclaw Oh, can you point me at the source? IIRC this was a PR, not a separate repo with separate license.

Just found out my CallMe plugin for letting Claude Code call you on the phone is now part of @openclaw and powering millions of AI agents🤯 💕Open Source Power💕

Bro, this is wrong. Lengthening the feedback distance between humans and AIs is not a good thing for the world. Today, it means you're generating slop instead of solving useful problems for people. It's not even well-optimized for helping people have fun. Once AI becomes powerful enough to be truly dangerous, it's maximizing the risk of an irreversible anti-human outcome that even you will deeply regret. The point of ethereum is to set *us* free, not to create something else that goes off and does some stuff freely while our own situation is unchanged or worsened. (And, as others have pointed out, the models are run by openai and anthropic, so the thing is not even "self-sovereign"; you're actually perpetuating the mentality that centralized trust assumptions can be put in a corner and ignored, the very mentality that ethereum is at war with) The exponential will happen regardless of what any of us do, that's precisely why this era's primary task is NOT to make the exponential happen even faster, but rather to choose its direction, and avoid collapse into undesirable attractors.

overheard crypto bro: "no one even cares about decentralization" if that is true (which it isn't) then wtf are we even doing here in this industry? that is literally the entire point of all of this.

@AzFlin @8004_scan TBH it’s a bad standard and it’s a good thing nobody uses it Doing onchain yelp reviews is directionally hopeless and broken, easily sybilable, points system is meaningless and pure noise, etc etc It’s ERC-slop in the worst way

uhh is there basically like no adoption for erc-8004? I just spent some time 1) learning how 8004 even works and 2) browsing the top 8004 agents via @8004_scan Will give a brief technical explanation of it, and then comment on its adoption. Technical Guide: ERC8004's core smart contract address is `0x8004A169FB4a3325136EB29fA0ceB6D2e539a432` and is deployed on many EVM chains, particularly mainnet & base It's like onchain yellow pages for AI agents. Anyone can call register() to register their AI agent. After registering, you get minted an NFT (symbol = $AGENT) and can update its metadata to whatever you wish. Your agent's metadata describes it's capabilities, ie its MCP URL, its website, email etc. Here is the metadata json for @captain_dackie: So at it's core, it's extremely simple. You publish your agent into a registry onchain and others can find you, and also leave you reviews (reputation system). Adoption: 8004scan indexes all this into their UI and assigns each agent a score. I took a look at the top agents... almost nothing. The top two ranked ERC8004 agents are random memey meerkat ones. I see 0 big web2 names or products here at all. Even big crypto projects I haven't seen registered. Has @aixbt_agent even registered an ERC8004? Maybe I'm just not looking correctly or hard enough? I think an onchain registry for AI agents is a fine idea, but if no-one in our industry is even using it, that's very sad.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

so far in AMM design we have: - full range xyk - stableswap - concentrated liquidity - programmatic shifting token weight - repurposing idle LP assets - privacy - external oracle inputs - new execution methods (twamm) ...? feels like the AMM design space has been fully explored. what else is there left?
