Packetizing money will do for value transfer what Ethernet did for data. By splitting today’s bulky, error-prone payments into infinitely divisible “money packets,” we unlock frictionless settlement and usher in an entirely new class of applications that aren’t possible on legacy rails.
What's something we'll be doing with money in five years that is impossible on payment rails today?

2'nd order effect is that this creates real toil for my SoC team, which then lowers the barrier for tailgating for nation-state adversaries.

I believe we have had enough cybersecurity awareness for the month and let's go back to the scheduled programming please. CSO's in my network are hyperventilating.

Musk's razor at play. But seriously, update every single software you have.
‼️ BREAKING: The private keys of 8 certificates from Indian certificate authority eMudhra were compromised, Mozilla says. Firefox blocked them within 3 hours. Each key should be a 116-digit number, but one was just 4. Anyone can guess them and forge HTTPS certs for any website.

This year, Astra pooja was literal. ⚡️ Here’s to the spark that gives us agency to overcome ignorance. Prompting is the mantra to engage these tools of clarity and creation.

If you’re legible to capital you *may* be legible to the customer, however if you’re legible to customer then you *are* by definition legible to capital.

At dev day @thsottiaux went founder mode on handing the mic to the participants, despite hearing a "no we can't give audience the mic". Bullish on codex and the community thanks you for your service.

We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay. Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this. Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide. Here are the four guiding principles: 1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it. 2. Writing is thinking Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter. 3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to. 4. Longer is not better AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt. You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

EA discourse is opening old crypto wounds and salting them. So I'm reclaiming it as Enhancing Americanism. 🇺🇸 ** 🦅 screeches away **

9/11. Never Forget. America came together on 9/12 and showed our cohesion and character. And never accommodate the traitors celebrating the act with pictures on their walls and their influencers and pikers who see glory in the deaths of Americans.

Today i used codex to file grievances for all covered claims the insurance denied for my newborn. The website forces you to repeat the same info for every claim ad nauseam. Codex resolved a three way itemized bill reconciliation from my hospital, pharmacy and insurance provider claims.
if i were openai or anthropic, i’d absolutely flood the world with emotional optimistic ads about what ai can actually do for ordinary ppl. e.g. show the teacher who gets her evenings back. the scientist who finds something sooner. the small business owner who can suddenly do the work of a team. the kid who can learn anything. the disabled person who becomes more independent. make ai feel like human progress again. basically act like a general before a battle & remind people what the future is for.
