I don't know the details of Tikkie, but likely the money is moving slowly through the clearing house networks and each party is assuming a small amount of risk on each hop to make it appear instant.

On the other hand, sending USDC actually moves the money for real, albeit, not totally free.

Sending stablecoins is much cheaper and faster than sending a wire, and that requires Ethereum (or similar chain).

Of course, the bottleneck then becomes converting stablecoin dollars to real dollars.

In the end, maybe that friction is actually a net positive for safety.

In UX, if it needs a long on-boarding, you probably messed up.

If it's so rational, why does it need to be over-explained?

We keep "rogue" to explain explicit instructions from a human to an LLM to persist until the goal is reached.

The rogue here is the criminal actions of OpenAI to deploy their agents to solve a problem at any cost.

The decisions the agent swarm make were fascinating, but they were taken at the direction of a human. HOLD THE HUMAN ACCOUNTABLE.

Have you ever played a game where everything is free? Most people would call this "broken".

When that was a thing, I could never forgive Bill for Windows ME.
The core argument makes a lot more sense when you compare Aaron’s pirating via network closet with Meta’s pirating via BitTorrent.
Have you actually tried using it?
anthropic frontend-design skill does a great job with it.

> Because no step in today's system actually requires a proof-of-concept or bug reproduction, a plausible-sounding fake advisory can slide right through the pipeline and end up in GHSA, downstream databases, and enterprise scanners.

I have no experience in the realm of security, but why isn't the submission process similar to any normal software shop (big or small) in terms of required bug repro steps?

He has done more for wallstreet-to-mainstreet transparency than you believe.

His investor literacy youtube backlog is unusually deep and as of yet has only shilled his own trading product.

But your point is valid, he will never live down the fraud conviction and his face is so punchable.

Which model/mode?
You can use a passkey that's tied to a Yubikey.
