  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 1 minute ago

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  Initially, she sent me the painting and agreed to pay a deposit. She then transferred 100% of the money even though I had only asked for 50%.She suggested using PayPal, but I didn't have it and only had Wise. She agreed, but then said Wise was having problems.

  PayPal held $9,500 of a nonprofit's donations for 21 days in 2023. No explanation. Just a reserve, a login screen, and a support queue. Your $25 gift can sit in that same queue.

  @maldives_lexi Because she was the oversight. Angela Kohl wasn’t just the bookkeeper, she was the sole paid staffer, the executive director, and the person with total control of the accounts, working from home. No second set of eyes. No dual-signature requirement. No independent monthly review by the board. Just one person with the login credentials to a charity whose entire reason for existing is to help kids who already lost a parent. That’s how $118k quietly walks out the door over 18 months into a personal PayPal. When the only person “watching the books” is the one emptying them, “oversight” is just a word on a form.

  @bendodge well that too, but the problem is they're a chinese company and i'm in nigeria. we tried exploring every payment method and it either didn't work for them or it didn't for me - the easiest option would've been crypto but it's banned in china - i have a leads account but it didn't work because they can only do SWIFT and mine only supports ACH and wire routing - literally every option didnt work and then we had to fall back to paypal (paypal itself has some restrictions in my region so i had to use a relative's account in the US) even when we got to the paypal, they said they cant make payment directly using paypal email etc and i had to create an invoice for the payment (that's how their company works) + they agreed to cover every fees from the onset

  Yes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

  SITUATION EXPLAINED: Aschenbrenner's letter to investors: full responsibility, no more leverage, staying in public equities. • The letter went out last night, he takes "full responsibility," and says the fund will no longer borrow from banks to magnify its bets • It will keep operating in public equities, not converting into a private fund as people had speculated • He compared the dynamics to a bank run, and partly blamed short sellers targeting the fund's positions • New from the FT: when Intel reported strong earnings and its stock unexpectedly fell, the aggressive seller was reportedly Aschenbrenner, covering losses on Bloom Energy and SanDisk • By Wednesday he had stopped taking investor calls, and was talking to Jane Street, Millennium, and Citadel instead • He reached a deal Wednesday night to sell $3.5 billion of his Anthropic stake to a consortium led by Greenoaks and Sequoia, then backed out Thursday morning • Greenoaks and Sequoia both led Anthropic's $65 billion Series H at a $900 billion valuation, a round Situational Awareness itself invested in • Despite all of it, the fund is still up 80% on the year, and 1,551% since founding less than two years ago • Plenty of big names have blown up worse and recovered: Paul Tudor Jones nearly quit after cotton losses, Bill Ackman wound down his first fund in 2002, Musk was ousted from PayPal before Tesla and SpaceX nearly went bankrupt @theojaffee: "People are getting way too negative about Situational Awareness now. Situational Awareness is fine. Leopold Aschenbrenner is fine. If it literally went to zero, he's still a generational talent and he would do very well regardless."

  7-Day App Store Ship Challenge Prize pot: $300 | 10 app builders | 1 clear winner Core Concept 10 independent app builders compete head-to-head. The single goal: build + ship a real, original iOS app that goes live on the Apple App Store within exactly 7 days. Only one person can win the entire $300 pot. No points system, no fancy features required — pure speed-to-live-app wins. Exact Winning Condition (so only one person wins) Build any original simple app (todo list, habit tracker, tip calculator, unit converter, etc. — nothing complex). Submit it to App Store Connect. Get it approved and publicly live on the App Store. Be the first participant to post public proof in the group chat/Discord:Live App Store link Screenshot of the app page showing “Available on the App Store” Timestamp of approval email from Apple First verified live app = automatic winner of the full $300. If two people go live on the same day, the earlier approval timestamp wins. If somehow nobody succeeds in 7 days → pot rolls over or is split equally (your choice). 7-Day Timeline Day 0 (kickoff): Everyone pays entry + gets Apple Developer account ready ($99/year required). Days 1–5: Build + test + prepare screenshots, privacy policy, description. Day 6: Latest possible submission deadline (gives Apple ~24–48 h review window). Day 7 (midnight UTC): Competition ends. First verified live app wins. Entry & Pot Rules Exactly 10 spots. Each person puts in $30 → $300 pot. Money collected upfront (PayPal/Wise/crypto) into a shared escrow or trusted organizer account. No refunds after Day 0. Money Payout Terms (clear & simple) Winner must provide: Live App Store link Apple approval email screenshot Short screen recording of the app opening from the App Store Once verified by the group (or 2 neutral judges): Full $300 is sent within 24 hours via the same method the winner prefers (PayPal, Wise, bank, USDC, etc.). Organizer takes $0 cut. If the winner used a no-code tool or template, it still counts as long as the app is original and live under their account. Suggested Simple Apps That Can Actually Ship in 7 Days Daily water tracker Random quote / affirmation generator Tip & bill splitter Simple habit streak counter Unit converter (weight, length, temperature) Use SwiftUI + Xcode (fastest for pure iOS) or Flutter if you already know it. Avoid anything that needs backend, login, or heavy graphics. Extra Protection Rules App must be original (no copy-paste of existing public apps). Must use your own Apple Developer account. No paid marketing or fake reviews during the 7 days.

  @ScotRail Hi Chloe, thanks for replying quickly. I've came out the app, closed it fully and gone back in and it's now showing Google Pay and PayPal. I realise now it was missing the ticket delivery option too so I think that was the main cause of the problem.

  @deobfuscations A faster way to send money between accounts I own. I can pay instantly with PayPal but not XMoney. This means I will store a bit less in the service as moving money is either slow or costs something. 1 business day is probably fine for this but everyone loves instant.
