We discovered an issue in Vitalik’s code, and he paid us a bounty for it through @bountycaster. Who would have imagined that our very first bug bounty client would be none other than the inventor of Ethereum himself? It took us just 20 seconds to identify an issue in code he personally wrote — without any prior context. Some of you might recall the tweet he posted earlier this year. We ended up building exactly that.

More than 25% of all new code at Google is generated by AI according to Sunday Pichai. We're headed into a future with minimal human intervention, where AI coding agents will need to pass security checks from AI security agents. We're building the latter at @Almanax. https://x.com/AndrewCurran_/status/1851374530998256126

Has any of you tried the Alpha BRAIN supplements? I think they contain similar/the same nootropics as some of the blueprint supplements

Didn’t know that the @solanafoundation didn’t have a CMO but that makes so much sense. Love the idea of @solana as a headless brand and the nonCMO concept from @akshaybd

Help me give @pranjali a warm welcome to FC (and @almanax)! We received thousands of applicants in the past year and have been very selective in our hiring process. Some fun statistics: - Our current hiring rate is 0.06%. - For comparison, Harvard's is 3% and YC's is roughly 1%.

Today we published a comparison between ALMX-1, @almanax's first AI model, Slither, a popular static analysis tool for blockchain code, and human security experts. The results are very promising and show that the performance of automated tools for vulnerability detection is much closer to human performance than it used to be just a few months ago. Excited for the work that the team has been doing, we have now a good understanding of how to bring these results even closer to human performance. Link to the blog available in the comments.

do you all remember how Farmville and other Zynga games contributed to Facebook's growth and retention numbers around 2009-2011? everybody was playing and there were days i would go on Facebook just to check on my crops lol. bullish on the Arcade feature here on FC. Curious to see what the first Farmville-type game will be and how it will incorporate web3 elements

I've been chatting with @jessepollak, and in preparation for our public launch, decided to offer free security scans through @almanax for the next month to 10 projects building on @base. If your project has smart contracts you'd like checked, comment below or DM me and we'll make it happen.
