KYC is good for humanity and also super secure and also has never lead to anything bad happening and also can’t possibly be exploited in any way thisisfine.gif
‼️ BREAKING: Our investigations team at Duel is in contact with the Revolut hacker, and we've found out a lot more about how he did what he did. - The hacker got access to government employee accounts using an infostealer. After gaining access to an employee's email, they would log in, add their own recovery email, start to log everything, and silently listen in. - To not get caught, they would instantly delete any email sent that was not intended for the original employee. The inbox was checked 24/7 for any new response to the hacker's sent emails. Upon receiving one, the hacker would instantly download it as a .eml and delete it before the original employee noticed - The hacker says that at first he used to forge court orders (presumably when targeting other companies), but quickly realised that this wouldn't work for Revolut. After some research, they decided the best entity to target was Revolut's Lithuania-based Revolut Bank UAB, which would respond to a European Investigation Order (as shown in the images). - With this stolen email, the hacker sent one request, originally 5 months ago, attached below. Revolut believed it, thinking it was the Italian government, and complied with the order. - From the hacked email, the hacker was able to control and end emails that looked like they genuinely came from multiple Italian government email addresses. - The hacker continuously sent out requests over the course of 5 months. Not once did Revolut ask questions or not send over the information. In one incident, the hacker accidentally sent the wrong document. Instead of realising what was going on, Revolut's support guided them on what to change (shown in an image below) We remain in contact with the hacker and we've requested exclusivity of information related to the story to be kept with Duel. We believe it is in the public's best interest for EVERY piece of information related to this to be released, so that the extent of Revolut's failure can be brought to light, as well as the sheer stupidity of the manner in which the KYC paradigm is currently conducted. The Duel team hopes that Revolut will be held accountable for their lack of due diligence and betraying their customers in such a severe manner, especially given the breadth and depth of the breach. Lives are now at risk. I'm personal friends with one of the victims, and he'll probably have to move houses due to the continued (credible) kidnap threats. We hope to soon release a much more detailed article with more information, emails, screenshots and more.

Really appreciate the spotlight 🩵 It’s been a lot of fun building on Dusk. Huge thanks to the team and the community — excited to keep building.
Meet Piecrust, a Dusk community builder behind five applications and seven AI model repositories. @ruskvm’s work spans a DEX, two wallets, a block explorer and a .dusk web resolver. Here’s what he built 👇

In a sudden twist of events, I will from now on watermark all my prompts to Anthropic by adding “cock!” at the end of each sentence

Emanuele Francioni retweeted
This is exactly why Anthropic pisses me off. You can keep saying the watermark doesn’t change ownership, doesn’t identify the user, doesn’t affect quality, doesn’t add hidden characters, and won’t look any different to readers. Fine. But that is not the whole issue. The issue is that you are still marking work that a human being may have thought through, structured, argued, and emotionally meant, just because AI helped process it. AI assistance is not authorship. If I wrote the idea, the argument, the meaning, the emotional core, and the final judgment, then it is my work. If Claude helped translate it, polish a sentence, or make it clearer, that does not suddenly make Claude the author. But a watermark absolutely changes how people perceive authorship. People are not going to say, “Claude may have been involved in processing this text.” They are going to say, “AI wrote this.” And honestly, who the hell are you to do that to my writing? Who gave you the right to stamp your model’s involvement onto work that came from my thoughts, my experience, my voice, and my judgment? You can say it does not change ownership all you want, but socially, reputationally, and creatively, it absolutely changes how the work is read. So fine. Do whatever you want. Build your watermarking system. Follow whatever framework you want. I’m not using Claude. Good luck.
We’ve written an FAQ to answer some of the questions we've received about watermarking. In summary: • We’re implementing watermarking to comply with the EU AI Act. Other major model developers have signed the same Code of Practice and will also be implementing watermarking; • Our watermarking method doesn’t have any practical impact on the quality or content of Claude’s outputs; • The difference between watermarked and un-watermarked text will not be distinguishable to readers; • Nothing is added to the text and there are no hidden characters; • Watermarking doesn’t require extra tokens, and will not be more expensive; • Watermarks can’t be traced to a specific person, organization, or chat.

Hahahaha 🤣 Anyone with no more than 5 minutes experience in information theory knows instantly why this is an idiotic unenforceable idea lmao
🚨 JUST IN: Claude models will now have invisible watermarks embedded in ALL text, and ALL metadata attached to files…

True
Everything consumer AI still collapses down to companionship. Everyone hates hearing this. It reeks of male-coded dystopian loneliness. But AI can only deliver on its consumer promises if it can be a good friend. Trusted, warm, intimate. Personality is the holy grail.

One of the unexpected benefits of AI? Being able to apply knowledge from different, specialised areas to what you're working on. Here, @Autholykos from @DuskFoundation, tells us how he found software inspiration in biology. 🎧 podbean.com/ep/pb-6qjuf-1b22…

Ma peffà che?
Currently I'm using on 3 projects: - Cursor + Grok 4.5 - Kimi CLI with Kimi K3 - Codex with GPT 5.6 Sol - Hermes with GLM 5.2, MiniMax M3 and others - Claude with Fable for some complex reviews OpenCode and omp on other projects too. It seems impossible, but I'm starting to experience a new kind of flow, where I talk with each agent, swap between them, let them interact with each other through me... And I feel lost in this status for hours. And at the end? I get an incredible amount of work done! Including very complex one. WOW! Initially I was feeling exhausted by this, but now, week after week I start to feel this more natural, it's becoming the new norm. Isn't this happening to you too anon?

I fully endorse this initiative. Dusk is a decentralized protocol and seeing the community taking over more and more of the vision and the governance is fucking amazing

Dusk Domains is now live on testnet. I've been solo-building an independent .dusk name service for the @DuskFoundation ecosystem You can register names like yourname.dusk and connect them to useful public records like your Dusk public address, shielded address, DuskEVM address, contracts, website, avatar and more. The core flow is ready to try: search → reserve → register → set records → set primary domain The goal of this dApp is simple, make Dusk easier to use, easier to recognize and easier to build on. Two particular features I'm excited about: 1. Referrals: Invite others to register domains and earn DUSK when they do. 2. Product-owned liquidity: My plan is to route all revenue into DUSK liquidity pools on @pieswap_dusk, @PancakeSwap and @Uniswap, so Dusk Domains helps build deeper ecosystem liquidity instead of only extracting fees. Try it here: dusk.domains/ Feedback welcome!
