Using GPT Sol Ultra to ask what to make for dinner

I aspire to be as organized as a serial killer
while being as driven as a serial killer
while being as charismatic as a...wait

being a parent to toddlers is great because your children teach you that you are a very mean person, perhaps even the spawn of Satan, because you make them do things like put on clothes or eat dinner

This is what we call an epic self immolation

I may be alone in this but jared did nothing wrong

If you've been in this space long enough, you have probably been sandwiched by jaredfromsubway.
No doubt you've heard of him.
Today, he was beaten at his own game to the tune of ~$14M.
1/🧵

2/ jared is what we call a sandwich bot, and the best one in the game at that.
Most sandwich are set up to monitor specific pools or tokens, but Jared is just about everywhere. No matter the token or number of hops, if there are an opportunity for profit, Jared will be there.

4/ The attacker used this to their advantage, deploying over a hundred fake Uniswap V2-style pairs and fake ERC20 tokens. The pairs implemented the normal Uniswap pair interface and appeared to have deep liquidity, but the liquidity was in attacker-controlled fake wrapper tokens.

5/ The routes were engineered to give Jared’s bot a small real-token profit after each “swap,” enticing his automated profit detection to kick in.
The attacker submitted their own fake swaps, causing Jared’s bot to backrun those fake pool state changes.

6/ To execute each "fake arb" route, Jared’s bot had to approve real assets - WETH, USDC, or USDT.
Those approvals accumulated across dozens of fake tokens, and Jared's bot didn't revoke them, likely because it thought they were standard Uniswap pair contracts.

7/ So the attacker was left with 50 live allowances against Jared’s contract: 16 for WETH, 20 for USDC, and 14 for USDT.
About 18 minutes later, the attacker used those allowances to drain
• 4,759 WETH
• 3.58M USDC
• 2.53M USDT
Well played by the attacker.

so glad we're bouncing because I went irresponsibly long on the dip and we're almost back to my entry

I'm sorry but how do you lose a basketball game when you have groot on your team

thought exercise:
which group benefits the most from AI?

just discovered that X hid the "requests" inbox, opened it up to find hundreds of message requests dating back months.
if you messaged me and I didn't respond, apologies. message again if it was important, I'll be staying on top of that inbox moving forward.
