stuckfunds.eth.limo finds crypto you bridged but never claimed.
$135M+ sits unclaimed across 84 bridges on over 500k wallets (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, zkSync, Wormhole, CCTP...).

For the people still arguing that AI models don't infringe on copyright, here's a reminder from Extracting Training Data from Diffusion Models, where Nicholas Carlini et al. states, "Diffusion models are explicitly trained to reconstruct the training set."
Interesting, no?

This is really brilliant. Wonderful. The best art poses real underlying questions. In this case, what does a world look like when you don't need to think? OpenAI itself says it wants "perfect context" of your life. If your entire life is perfectly contextualized, it is modeled, and thus behavior can be predicted and manipulated. What is the purpose of you then? What is the need for a human being?
In the short term, to do physical tasks for the AI that it can't. How does it do this? By inserting strategic contextual prompts at any point in the chain of your life that will blossom into an action it desires in the future. In a world of perfect context, there is no free will. You are a tool for a machine.
In the long term, as robotics advances, the human being isn't even necessary anymore. A robotic replacement can do physical tasks. So then what? What happens to the human being?
Nobody has successfully answered this question yet.
This video has a nice Plato's Cave allegory with the people breaking out of the mesmerized trance, but in real life, unfortunately, that's far less probable to happen.
So what is the role of the human?
That's why this short AI video is art. Because it prompted these thoughts, questions, and hopefully discussions. AI can be art, don't believe haters who say it can't.

Seriously, the more I think about this, the angrier I get. If a trillion-dollar company gets wind of the fact that you're close to a career-defining result, they can dispatch a team, equipped with a private model that has been trained on everything that's ever been publicly . . .
"Think of all the discoveries and use cases AI would make possible for scientific research" - except those will all be brought forward by incumbents who'll practically spy on every single one of their users to basically frontrun every important enough milestone... ??
This is legitimately terrible for OpenAI --- but also Anthropic --- and it relates to their work in drug discovery.
I read this as: prompts will be monitored and potentially acted on if we think there’s something scientifically and/or commercially valuable being disclosed.
Now, the big problem for Anthropic is that they are increasingly seen to be competing with their customers. Outside of SF, many people also think of OpenAI/ChatGPT and Anthropic/Claude as somewhat interchangeable companies and products --- aka, if OpenAI do something, surely Anthropic will do it too?
As so much IP relates to drug targets and people disclose these to Claude, I think we will see a lot of pharma companies stop using these tools or put up a lot of internal guardrails.

i keep repeating myself: fake identities (incl. burner addresses) is what protects you from retarded govs & corps.
Two days ago, we received an update from our shipping provider, ShipMonk. We're deeply saddened to share the news that the recent data breach affects more customers than originally thought.
Another 67,000 customers from the US who ordered between November 2019 and August 2021 were affected, with their full details (name, email, phone number, shipping address, order number) exposed.
All affected customers have been emailed directly. If you didn’t receive an email, then you are not affected.
Throughout our entire relationship with ShipMonk, we repeatedly requested and received written assurance confirming the deletion of the data, in line with our contract, data policy, and past communications. We are very disappointed that, despite receiving this confirmation, the data was not deleted in their systems.
Trezor systems were not compromised, and your device is secure. But please be alert for fake emails, phone calls, fraudulent letters, and potential risks to physical security.
NEVER share your wallet backup with anyone or type it into a website.
We’re terribly sorry to everyone affected. We take this matter very seriously and are working to ship anonymous delivery ASAP, so you can protect your personal information when placing an order.

"I'm so proud of how little I did, isn't AI great."
Im kinda glad the white house is doing this sort of retarded campaigns because maybe this is what it takes for more companies whose IP is being ripped off to start seeing the problem with genAI rather than keep lobbying for it. @XBOX should sue.

Replying to @MTSlive
TLDR:
If you steal a 3 dollar sandwich, you get arrested.
But if you steal every bit of art, writing and music on earth, you get declared “too big to fail” and are allowed to write the laws now
