SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios. The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios. Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said. Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

almost a year later, kinda wanna revisit this the title reads like a direct counter to long degeneracy, but that's not really what i was going for - i may or may not have clickbaited. long degen is more of an investment thesis about owning casinos (which i agree with, s/o jez), while short degen is from a trader / gambler pov about knowing when to leave the table i think it's fair to say gambling has been pretty -ev since the article. perps have gotten increasingly difficult and memecoins are becoming a more solved game with lower ceilings. there's been plenty of opportunities to compound wealth recently, but i haven't seen many newly minted gambling millionaires the framing i was going for was more of a call to return to long-term games, whether that's building something or developing better trading habits, rather than trying to gamble your way to millions. the glory days of that are behind us sadly, at least until there's a net new game and we get another pumpfun or hyperliquid moment definitely sucks, i enjoy nothing more than making a ton of money gambling in a new, inefficient market. still not really sure what the next game is or if we even get one. we've seen attempts at new games, but they've mostly been reframings of or things built on top of existing ones: stock pairs, 1000x lev, etc. cool things, but not quite the 0 -> 1 moment needed to create an entirely new game guess going forward the focus continues to be on thesis-driven trading/investing until there's something new where you can turn your brain off and gamble. can probably still long existing casinos and do well. don't think shorting casinos is ever a great trade, given how reflexive they can be in risk-on conditions. think the best way to express short degeneracy is just practicing better habits and playing better, longer-term games. more or less, un-fry yourself buy cool things that ppl use, made by good ppl. simple as

A thread on @papertrade_xyz , or as I like to think of it Schrödingers ponzi What's it worth? (if anything at all) How to value it? How to farm it (not by losing on purpose, thats retarded) /1

No strong opinion on $PAPER or @papertrade_xyz, but I think it's very wrong to attack @izebel_eth and team They made it abundantly clear up front that this was going to be very experimental, and they listed out several possible issues/exploits in the docs. Constructive criticism is fine, but let's not attack the people trying cool new shit. We want more experimental and ambitious stuff being attempted on chain, not less. Failure, especially in uncharted territory, doesn't equal scamming. This goes for a lot of other founders who catch shit for having failed in past endeavors too.

know ive been tweeting about this a lot but really think papertrade could be a generational setup high leverage perps are crypto's most profitable product to date, demand for speculation is not going to go away ability to open/close synthetic 1000x positions w/ no market impact is a novel mechanism, paired w/ the house-trader relationship where trader losses fund the onchain LP, & all losses after a certain LP cap get paid out to traders staking the platform's native paper token - can see how this can maintain traction longterm, already at 50M+ paid out to $PAPER stakers in first week every other perp dex's revenue comes from a small take rate on the fees of volume, no perp dex has been able to monetize directly trader losses, of which it's been shown is a much larger number, in theory winners should be able to easily get paid out from house LP over time as high leverage has a difficult success rate, ideal state is that its closer to 50/50 winners/losers after a certain LP cap and even then its a much better model allowing traders to own the house what's more interesting tho is that the model should be able to be extensible to other games outside of just perpetual futures, the online gambling industry is massive, and none of the online casinos are +EV for users, every major online casino is -EV as thats how the house makes money by creating games that are slightly better probabilistically for the house and monetizing losses over time, with papertrade it should be possible to let people speculate on other similar games with the same model as losses going back directly to paper stakers instead of just to the house - so im curious to see what team is thinking of here if hyperliquid is the AWS of all of finance, then papertrade could be the AWS of all high leverage speculation money games on the internet, will be cool to see how the next several months play out, dont think people have gone deep enough on the possibilities with one of the first novel onchain experiments in awhile that also rewards its most active participants
