Today I received for the first time an entirely AI generated conspiracy theory peddling video from a friend, using it as a "see I told you so". And tbf it looks pretty authentic, only when googling it do you really see its fake. This is going to get very messy.

Odd to see a company be so transparent about why it is laying off 2k staff when this is the reason: "The jobs cuts come as part of “Project Magnolia,” which McKinsey maintains will help the company preserve the partners’ compensation pool.". Wow, says a lot.

A month ago it was "the army needs to intervene and arrest Lula and reinstate bolsonaro". Last night started off with "it's Lulas fault, he is a criminal" and now apparently it was actually lulas supporters who infiltrated peaceful manifestations to cause chaos. Logical. 2/2.

Seeing first hand with my Brazilian family and friends how people will form crazy beliefs to maintain consistency of thought to explain that "their side" is "right". In this case Bolsonaro+supporters=good / Lula+supp=bad. 1/2.

I'm sure many of the investors relied on the belief that Sequoia did extensive DD. However a 200m+ ticket for them - where house view is "A write off? no problem" - is not the same a 200m ticket for others. Always a danger for a follower in any round with a mega fund.

Too many of the takes on FTX events focus on CZ playing "chess" rather than the fact that trust, regulation & transparency would not have caused this mess to begin with.

Speechless.
A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

Not much of the news is focused on prices of jpegs these days (given all going on in crypto land) but judging by the apparent disappearance of ape and pixelated twitter profile pics from VCs I guess that it's been hit hard?.

How long until an article comes out saying that insiders sold heavily ahead of the announcement today at Celsius?

A month after the implosion of the Terra stablecoin sent the crypto market reeling, another crisis is causing fresh angst across the entire digital-asset universe.

Bernie Madoff would have loved stablecoins and staking.
Yikes. @stablegains took USDC and USD via wire from customers promising them 15%, put it all into Anchor without telling them, and skimmed 4% off the top. They have now changed the denominations in their app from USD to UST and are nuking the landing page & old terms. (1/2)
