  About AI and my art; if you’re just playing around with it alls fun and games. But if you’re seriously collaborating with it, directing it to adjust your sketches and paintings to fit your creative ideas & intuition, it keeps adding different unasked-for iterations. Talking with an AI is not like talking with a human. The thing hallucinates; or rather, it does not ‘Grok’ what I want. Humans have the ability to connect, that is, get your intentions, insights, and ideas, and they can do it quickly. I’m not saying that this happens between humans easily, or all the time. In fact there are plenty of times, especially when the creative intuition is operating at a high frequency, that many humans can’t get there. AI can produce quickly, but it’s directionless. Today I talked with one on PayPal. It said it could help me with most issues. Maybe it can, but only if it’s a problem solution in its memory, and you phrase it in just the right way to trigger that memorized response. Otherwise it’s very limited with what it can help you with. And it wasn’t able to help me with my issue; but a human operator was. I’d say that AI was not nimble or flexible intelligence. It’s quick data retrieval that mimics a fake flexible intelligence. Well, that’s my experience with it so far. Maybe, with practice, I’ll get better at using this as a tool, and forget about the idea that this an actual intelligence.

  Looking good. No humidity sensor data. This was because I purposefully damaged sensor to simulate a component failure and if it would cause issues. Turns out, as expected, it does not. All other sensors stay online. We build these. This is what your SuperChats, channel memberships, PayPal tips, GoFundMe donations, etc go to. It's all right here.

  @Safaricom_Care Kindly work on your Mpesa-Paypal Linkage app. The dashboard panel with the balance shows a different conversion rate from the actual conversion rate that's effected when one makes the withdrawal to Mpesa. That discrepancy results into high loss logistical errors.

  @RoKhanna Ro, you're a multi centi-millionaire. Your worth more today (not adjusted for inflation) than Elon was when he sold PayPal, and on his road to becoming a trillionaire, he nearly went bankrupt several times. Dont you think you could take say 100 million of your own money and start a for profit business that uses innovative technology to solve those problems? How do we make food cheaper but good quality? How do we make healthcare cheaper, but good quality? How do we make childcare affordable, but good quality? Education...etc. etc. Elon started out with ~ 150 million and 2 dreams: decarbonize transportation (which everyone told him was impossible) And make life multiplanetary. Which is at least two orders of magnitude more pie in the sky than building viable electric cars. Both of these ideas, when posited in the very very early 2000s sounded more insane than the entrepreneurial endeavor I suggested that you embark on above. So I have faith that you will be able to achieve it. There is never ever any need to take from others to solve problems.

  Elon didn’t build trillion-dollar outcomes by rushing solutions. He framed the right problems first, then attacked them relentlessly. - PayPal (1999): Money moves too slowly and expensively for the internet age. Built frictionless digital payments. - SpaceX (2002): Humanity is one asteroid or nuke away from extinction. Made spaceflight reusable and affordable. - Tesla (2004): Fossil fuels are dooming the planet. Proved EVs could be desirable and inevitable. - Boring Company (2016): Cities choke on traffic. Built underground tunnel networks. - Neuralink (2016): Human brains can’t keep up with AI. Created high-bandwidth brain interfaces. - X (2022): Public conversation is censored and broken. Rebuilt it for maximum truth-seeking. - xAI (2023): AI lacks truth-seeking. Building AI to understand the universe. None of these industry-leading companies (or his rise to the richest man) happen with sloppy framing or unvalidated problems. Wrong problem = wasted genius. Right problem = compounding magic. Pre-execution work is just as (if not more) important as implementation. Validate the problem first, then build the solution. Here's to the next trillion and more.

  Is that not called innovation. Why was PayPal not working for years? Decentralization was the answer to the hustling youths of Nigeria 🇳🇬 If you want good monetary policy then work on financial inclusion for the citizens of Nigeria.

  Seems like I'll have to make a disclaimer in my ToS that I can't do refunds. PayPal really sucks and I'm having such a big trouble trying to issue a refund to a client... PayPal support agent said I need funds for it, or I can call support of my country.

  @BevJohnst Spam. But go to your Paypal account via a browser (don’t click any links) and check everything is ok. There’ll be a notification on the account if there really is a problem.

  @TippeTyYay @BrettSlagh @GianmarcoSoresi By all accounts Musk actually works on the rocket engineering. That’s from people who were there from before and during SpaceX’s early days. Yes, his value is far greater than the people who do the collective engineering, because he decides what the company works on. Before SpaceX was founded private launch was deemed a great way for a rich guy to lose a lot of money. The engine test site SpaceX uses in MacArthur Texas was purchased from Andy Beal, who had more money than Musk when SpaceX bought it from him. Money does not solve problems. Execution does. When Musk decided that SpaceX was going to build a re-usable rocket booster it was derided by other launch companies as an absurd pursuit. That the maximum number of satellites that would need to be launched every year topped out at around 25. SpaceX now does that every 2.5 days on average. They said it would require 12 re-uses before it would break even. SpaceX now has a booster that has flown 35 times. It is absolute jackassery to claim you have any right to what was created out of nothing, and I emphasize created, because goobers like you use language like taken. The money NASA/the government has spent on SpaceX has been more than offset by the amount of money they have saved by SpaceX’s existence. A net positive return to taxpayers. Yes, Musk’s contributions are worth more than 1000x of the collective efforts of the engineers working at SpaceX, for which they were compensated, because he’s the guy deciding what they work on and more than a few times he’s been told “we can’t do that” by his engineers and his response is “we will do that” and doing that is why it’s trading at $2.7T. What you people do is claim to be “good” by desiring to take (not create, take) the efforts of someone else and redistributing it to others. You talk about taking and think that makes you morally superior. It makes you a bad person, and worse than that a bad person that thinks the bad thing you’re doing is good. Since leaving PayPal Musk has done basically nothing but spend his money on ideas that were deemed stupid when they were started. There are people whose entire income is derived by calling those ideas stupid until they aren’t anymore and then they call the next idea stupid and continue to make money. When they go from being stupid to becoming valuable you believe you have claim to the outcome. You ******* suck. A lot.

  @pwrdbybadwifi @martypartymusic 10/2025, stablecoin issuer Paxos accidentally minted $300 trillion worth of PayPal USD (PYUSD) due to a "fat-finger" error. The tokens were created by adding six extra zeros to the intended amount, that temporarily exceeded the entire global GDP before being burned 22min later

  We can't say "One person has a trillion dollars and it doesn't affect you at all." That's NOT true. It means that you have access to Tesla, and SpaceX, and StarLink, and all the other things that Elon Musk has showered down upon us. Paypal, too, I guess. All of it.

  Rob Terrin (@RobTerrin) reported 48 minutes ago

  @octal Interesting idea, but why do you think this is replicable? Elon had a very early big exit ($22M from selling Zip2 at 27 years old). Gemini estimates roughly 1000 people in the U.S. under 27 years old with a $20M net worth or higher: - Most of them inherit it. - Most of the rest are athletes or entertainers. - The few tech entrepreneurs aren't liquid, so they can't invest in a new venture. If that wasn't hard enough, he put all his wealth into paypal/x.com, which netted him $180M that he tripled down on into SpaceX, Telsa and SolarCity. Nearly impossible to replicate any one of these moves, much all three.

  @digitalassetbuy PayPal and Ripple have very strong ties together from the early days. PayPal was a Zero to One idea and eBay was the catalyst. It allowed PP to get massive volume quickly while integrating frictionless retail payment flow. Ripple is solving a similar issue for global banking. 021

  @AlphaOwlTrading The big surprise here is the business itself of $PYPL - others are down just because of market/ economy sentiment. PayPal had some real craziness! I had very small position at $60 a long time ago and then sold at $75 just bc i didn't see buying a ton, but i believed in it, tbh
