  I posted on LN how Meta is being sued by 26 former employees who say the company used AI to choose who to dismiss, selecting people with disabilities and people who had taken medical leave. And a former global intelligence officer for Meta left a comment to say she’s one of the people impacted and is on cancer treatment. 💔 The lawsuit was filed late on Monday in federal court in Oakland, California. I learned about this from @TaylorLorenz The 26 say Meta scored and ranked staff on a termination list using productivity numbers and AI token usage, which counted against anyone absent from work for reasons the law protects. Meta says its workforce decisions were made by people, not AI. Meta said earlier this year it would cut about 10% of its global workforce, nearly 8,000 jobs, starting in May, with more to follow. Since 2022 it has removed tens of thousands of roles and the money is being redirected into AI infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the integrity, trust and safety teams have been completely gutted, so fewer people now work on content moderation, cybersecurity and safety policy. Companies should use AI to remove human bias from hiring and firing but are using it to collect information about people that has nothing to do with the job. Eightfold AI scores job people from 0 to 5 on their likelihood of success in a role, and applications with a low score are discarded before a recruiter sees the name. Erin Kistler and Sruti Bhaumik sued the company in California in January in a proposed class action. Jenny Yang, the former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, is one of the lawyers acting for them. Eightfold's software is used by Microsoft, Morgan Stanley, PayPal, Starbucks and Chevron and more than 100 other employers. The complaint says Eightfold AI builds a hidden profile of each applicant from social media activity, location data, internet and device tracking and cookies, and uses it to judge their behaviour, attitudes, intelligence and aptitude. Its model draws on more than 1.5 billion data points and the profiles of more than 1 billion working people. Eightfold denies scraping social media, says it uses data that candidates share or that its customers provide, and says candidates can see and correct their data. Kistler and Bhaumik say they were never told Eightfold was evaluating them, never saw their score, and were given no way to correct an error or dispute a low rating. They aren't arguing the algorithm is biased, which is notoriously hard to prove in court. They're saying that by secretly gathering this data and selling the resulting judgement to employers, Eightfold is acting as a consumer reporting agency without registering as one. That would place it under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the US law that gives people the right to see the information used to judge them and to correct it when it's wrong. I believe the court will accept that argument, and every company scoring people with AI will end up having to show each person the score and the data behind it. AI is notorious for making things up, not just getting things wrong. At scale, this means it'll inevitably misinterpret jokes about people, companies, or governments, and confidently fabricate lies to back up its mistakes.

  In 2010, two Irish brothers founded Stripe to build what PayPal should have been. Yesterday, Stripe offered $53 billion to buy PayPal itself. Together with Advent International, Stripe tabled $60.50 per share - a 28% premium. PayPal jumped 19% on the news. The board hasn't answered yet. Sit with the numbers for a second. In July 2021, PayPal was worth $360 billion. It was the undisputed king of online payments - the company that built the category, the alumni network that produced Musk, Thiel, and half of Silicon Valley's founding class. The "PayPal mafia" became shorthand for tech royalty. This year, its market value touched $36 billion. Ninety percent - gone in under five years. Not because payments shrank. Payments exploded. PayPal lost the decade to faster checkout flows, embedded finance, and a developer-first competitor that simply out-built it. In February, PayPal's market value fell below eBay's - the company it was spun out of in 2015. The child became worth less than the parent it outgrew. And now the offer on the table is $53 billion. Roughly 15 cents on the peak dollar. Here's what makes this bid remarkable beyond the symbolism. Stripe never went public. While PayPal spent a decade being repriced, quarter by quarter, by a market that punished every stumble, Stripe stayed private, took the long view, and compounded quietly. Now the private challenger - teamed with private equity - proposes to take the public pioneer off the market entirely. If that playbook sounds familiar, it should. It's Dell, 2013: a fallen public giant, a buyer convinced the problems are fixable away from the quarterly spotlight, and shareholders being offered a premium to today's price that is also a fraction of yesterday's. Dell's take-private turned $1.8 billion into $15 billion. It's the most profitable tech buyout in history. Whether PayPal has a Dell inside it is the entire question. So if you're a PayPal shareholder, here's your choice: $60.50 in cash - 28% above yesterday, 80% below 2021. Take the money, or bet the turnaround?

  @prompterminal Paypal and VISA have adopted crypto. This industry has left me with little hope, because almost nobody is willing to adopt post quantum cryptography. The system has a clock counting down to doom and they refuse to upgrade. Crypto *could* have done great things and might some day

  I’ve had some bad picks over the years: PayPal, AU79, Beyond Meat. I’ve also had many huge winners: Tesla, Palantir, Bitcoin, Meta, AMD. Losers were down 15% to 90%. Winners went up 400% to 3,000%. The math proves you don’t need to be right all the time. If your winners are much bigger than your losers, you will still come out far ahead.

  Wee Stocks (@WeeStocks) reported 18 minutes ago

  One of the biggest reversals in tech: PayPal was valued at around $350 billion at its 2021 peak. Now Stripe and private-equity firm Advent have reportedly offered just over $53 billion to buy it. The logic is easy to see. Stripe is deeply embedded behind online businesses, while PayPal brings Venmo, its familiar checkout button and 439 million active accounts. Together, they would process roughly $3.7 trillion in payments each year. The reported offer is $60.50 per share, around 28% above PayPal’s previous closing price. But this is not a completed deal, and PayPal has not accepted it. From here, $PYPL is partly a takeover trade: a higher bid would bring more upside, while failed talks could send the shares back down quickly. Interesting thing is that PayPal is sitting at roughly 10% below offer price, meaning that investors are pricing in possible rejection of the bid. I wonder how it will go down.

  The problem is I'm from Spain so I don't know if you will sell overseas (╥﹏╥) I'll be in Japan on October but I don't know if I will be able to assist to an event there (even if I would love to!) If not, will you accept payments via PayPal or Kofi to share the original pieces of your drawings so I can print them? (But I suppose you don't like that idea in case I think about re-selling but I promise is not the case (˃‌‌‌ᯅ˂‌‌‌) it's just i really love your artworks, they look better than some official posters > <)

  I wonder how long-term $PYPL shareholders are feeling this morning... Stripe and Advent made an offer to buy the company for $60 per share which is up 50% from the recent lows (after hitting fresh 10-year lows) but still down -80% from the all time highs. fwiw, I heard a rumor 6-7 weeks ago that Zelle (which is owned by 7 major banks) was also interested in acquiring PayPal. I guess they decided not to make an offer.

  @pitdesi It’s insane to me a company like PayPal is worth so much when their product is fundamentally broken. It will randomly charge to the checking account and not the credit card saved as default. Meaning it can’t be trusted. This is a known problem they just don’t give a ****.
