It looks like #Binance is telling its US customers to withdraw their USD by June 13, 2023, because their banking partners aren't going to service them any more after that.

June 13th also happens to be the hearing date on the SEC's request for an asset freeze.

What they aren't telling their customers is to withdraw their #crypto even though the SEC is requesting that their crypto assets also be frozen.

If you have anything on #BinanceUS you should think really hard about getting it off ASAP

I have to let you all in on something.

At this point in my career I’m privileged to mentor a lot of young people, especially veterans and college students. And every so often they’re like really excited to meet me and say they would like to be like me. This totally blows my mind because they go to like MIT, Stanford, or Purdue ….and they’re usually in the second year of a PHD and they run their cybersecurity competition team and speak 9 languages or something….

I was a TERRIBLE youth. Yea, I eventually went to DePaul which is respectable and I have three okay undergrad degrees - merely because I had no choice but to enlist at 17 and the military kicked the crap out of me. I went to community college first the hard way around. I almost didn’t graduate from high school. I was a miserable, unhappy, uncool gnc goth kid who hacked computers and swore a lot. Those schools would have .blown their noses at my application and probably banned me from the campus for being a delinquent.

What I want to say is if you’re one of those rock star young people, I’m super impressed by you, and you’ve picked one hell of a role model. Keep it up, and don’t burn out.

If you’re that totally screwed up teenager, though, I might not get to see you at awards ceremonies and touted by the top professors at cons, but you can make it too. Even if nobody is ever in your corner.

“The Forbes 30 Under 30 have collectively raised $5.3B in funding,” the tech entrepreneur Chris Bakke tweeted on Tuesday. “The Forbes 30 Under 30 have also been arrested for frauds and scams worth over $18.5B. Incredible track record.” ... the line between innovator and fraudster seems to have become alarmingly thin.

Things that don’t matter to the Espionage Act: why he did it; whether he intended to cause harm; whether he did in fact cause harm; whether the docs were properly classified; whether the docs informed public debate; whether he shared them with journalists or dumped them online; whether the docs showed government abuse or fraud or criminality; whether he was careful to disclose only what the public needed to see; whether the leak was defensible, all things considered....

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.
2) Many in the responses invoked a "threat to society" by AI. That's a separate problem; but for now do not self-servingly invoke a "threat to society" when what's under threat is your little franchise and rent seeking.

I said, "YOU KNOW THE MAIN SIGNATORIES AND PROPONENTS OF THAT OPEN LETTER CALLING FOR A PAUSE IN 'A.I.' DEVELOPMENT DON'T ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE SOCIOETHICAL IMPLICATIONS OF 'A.I.' AND JUST WANT TIME TO SURREPTITIOUSLY ADVANCE THEIR MODELS AND SHAPE ANY NEW REGULATIONS, RIGHT?"

Like… where's the calls for increased and nuanced governance? Where's the demand for an external oversight authority?

I'll tell you where it is: Nowhere, because these nerds don't believe in them.

“DeSantis hiring a bumbling team of assassins to take out the British royal family to further his plan to take over a theme park” is a Coen brothers film that practically writes itself.
