An Anthropic engineer paid for my espresso at Sightglass when he saw my screen I was running my Polymarket bot from the counter. He was next in line. Looked over my shoulder. Stopped scrolling. "That's not a normal trading app. What's it actually running on" I told him. Claude Code. Four repos. $25 a month. He sat down without asking. "I'm on the agent team. We stress test Claude for exactly this. You're letting it find its own edges" Not just edges. Wallets. 86 million trades. Every wallet. Every entry. Every exit. "You're feeding Claude raw wallet data and letting it identify who consistently wins. Then cloning them" He said it slowly. Like he was writing the threat model in his head. One prompt. Find every wallet with 100 plus trades and win rate above 70%. Rank by profit. Export top 50. Claude scanned 14,000 wallets in 4 minutes. Returned 47. The top 20 made more than the bottom 13,000 combined. "That's not a stat. That's a hit list" Exactly. "And you didn't write the scoring function" Claude did. I just wired it into an if-statement. Then I showed him the second repo. Official Rust CLI. No API key for reads. 500 markets, Claude scores them in minutes. Gap. Depth. Resolution window. 487 markets become 35 before a dollar moves. 93% killed before I even see them. A green fill landed on the screen. +$84. He watched it hit. "How does it decide to actually enter" Three agents. Shared wallet. No shared memory. Arbitrage, convergence, whale copy. 2 agree, full size. 1 alone, half. Disagree, no trade. Consensus filter alone killed 40% of losing trades. "And the exits?" The 47 whales never hold to settlement. 91% exit early. 73% of max profit captured. Redeploy immediately. My bot cuts at 85% of expected move or on a 3x volume spike. "You built a whale copy bot that exits before the whales" Yeah. He put his espresso down. "How often does it trade" 10 a day on average. Most of them skipped before I look up from my coffee. My setup: Claude API - $20/mo VPS in Germany - $5/mo poly_data - free polymarket-cli - free Polymarket/agents - free $200 seed. 27 days ago. $14,300 now. Copytrade here: t.me/KreoPolyBot?st… 271 trades. 74% win rate. Sharpe 2.47. I haven't touched it in 27 days. He stared at the screen for a long time. "This is literally what our red team simulates. Except you actually shipped it" He emailed me the next morning. "Any chance you'd take a call with our policy lead" I told him the article is the call. Read it twice. Too late to gatekeep. You only need Claude + laptop + 1 hour/day. Giving This Free for 24 hours. To get it: 1. Comment the word 'Claude' 2. Like and Retweet this post 3. Follow me @ZayvenKnox

RIP to The Legend, Quincy Jones. His legacy is undeniable and unmatched. I'm grateful for how his music shaped me as a musician growing up. I was beyond ecstatic that I got the opportunity to meet him and participate his collaboration with our #JammJam back in 2019. #jammcard

Hey @hankgreen and @wheezywaiter , @andrewhuang @RobScallon look what I found cleaning out the house today! I think this might have been 2016? This was the night we live-streamed the show in 360 IIRC :-) that was a fun night.

With the @smosh news. I think it’s incredibly important to highlight how boss this is — that creators are making IP ownership deals with each other and NOT with faceless corporate companies, MCNs, banks, etc.
We sold Smosh. Ian & Anthony, the original founders of Smosh, have reunited and bought back the wildly popular brand they founded 18 years ago!  We are extremely proud of everything we and Ian accomplished during our time working together, and will continue to be fans and friends to Smosh as they enter this new era! We acquired Smosh 4 years ago in the first creator-to-creator acquisition of its kind— a huge moment in Mythical’s history. We couldn’t think of a more perfect outcome on our investment than selling Smosh back to the internet's other iconic best-friend duo. It's another pioneering first in the creator economy and a validation of our belief that creator-entrepreneurs will play a huge role in the future of entertainment. Thank you for how you welcomed Smosh and their millions of fans into our community with open arms. Please join us in sending them our congrats on this next chapter!

More info around payroll through @SVB_Financial - all companies should confirm their payroll is locked in...even if *you* don't bank with svb, your payment processor might (!)
News: Silicon Valley Bank's abrupt closure has VCs and founders scrambling. A big issue: startups with frozen deposits making payroll early next week. I spoke to 10+ VCs in the past day for @Forbes to try to get you inside the current state of play 👀 forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/…

Thinking out loud for founders impacted by SVB/who have under 30 days of capital… 80% chance this won’t be necessary, but who knows! 🤷🏼‍♂️ 1. Freeze outgoing payments, let vendors know you need 60 days 2. Figure out payroll & let your investors know exactly when cash out
