While half of fintech still thinks Visa/MC are getting disrupted by stablecoins...

Visa and MC are using stablecoins to skip banks. Issuers like @raincards can settle with them in stables, and PSPs like @Checkout can settle with merchants in stables.

Merchants won't need banks

Mind-blowing advance in robotic intelligence! I think @physical_int will soon solve Moravec’s paradox! As I said before, 2026 will be the year of physical or embodied intelligence, & we will get closer to robotics general intelligence (RGI), which is much more difficult than AGI! https://t.co/KvwWdijRkk

Ask the Indian VCs. They have all formed a close knit circle of warm intros and top tier colleges consortium. They dont know the very meaning of why VCs exist, which is risk capital when traditional investors wont come but they themselves behave the same way.

The bad news -- we blew past our API limits, and we're still waiting for an increase.

In the meantime, I'm gonna make TikToks.

I left my $100k remote tech job.

While life was comfortable, it was the opposite of what I needed. It felt like too much stability prevented me from growing.

As a 25-year-old with no responsibilities, I was aching to take more risks.

Yann is just plain incorrect here, he’s confusing general intelligence with universal intelligence.

Brains are the most exquisite and complex phenomena we know of in the universe (so far), and they are in fact extremely general.
