So many examples in tech, now, where it does not matter if you leave the users bankrupt or psychotic, as long as you captured the most market share.
I have read the sports betting article and even though I knew a lot of this -- nearly everyone loses money long-term, and if you don't, the apps attempt to limit you -- but somehow this is all still a lot grimmer than I expected.

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girlβs school in Iran.
It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.
Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.
175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.
FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS News Articles Unfairly Focus on Binance 19. Binance.com seeks to be the best cryptocurrency exchange for traders, offering deep liquidity, low fees, and a robust range of products. With strong security, global liquidity, and an easy-to-use interface, Binance remains the trusted choice for millions of crypto traders worldwide. 20. However, Binance---like the cryptocurrency industry generally-has become a favorite target of the media and sensationalist journalism in recent years. 21. Publications-like the Wall Street Journal-are undoubtedly aware that articles mentioning Binance, its founder Changpeng Zhao, and cryptocurrency generally, all increase the likelihood that readers will open and read those articles. This is particularly true for articles critical of Binance, where negative, sensational headlines serve as clickbait to drive engagement and increase advertising revenue. 22. Negative press articles have focused on Binance's settlements with various U.S. government agencies in 2023 concerning Binance's compliance, KYC, and sanctions programs. 23. Binance has dedicated significant resources and efforts to its compliance protocols and policies, especially since its 2023 settlements with U.S. government agencies. 24. Binance has one of the largest and most robust compliance programs in the digital asset industry. Binance regularly partners with law enforcement investigators to help dismantle transnational criminal networks and claw back stolen user funds. 25. Binance's compliance and law enforcement response functions are institutionalized to include: a dedicated Global Law Enforcement Response Team; a Financial Crimes Investigations unit focused on complex cross-border cases; a Sanctions and Counter
Terrorist Financing investigations team; a Special Investigations team supporting high-risk and intelligence-led matters; and Blockchain analytics and compliance intelligence specialists. 26. Binance supports these functions from other teams across the organization, including its Internal Audit, Legal & Regulatory Affairs, Compliance Governance (including escalation to the Criminal Conduct Committee), Risk & Transaction Monitoring teams and Technology and forensic data engineering teams. 27. In total, more than 1,500 personnel (approximately 25% of Binance's global headcount) are dedicated to compliance, investigative, and risk functions. 28. This dedication has paid off, as Binance's compliance efforts have been successful. In 2025 alone, Binance supported authorities in confiscating more than $131 million in funds linked to illicit activity, processed more than 71,000 law-enforcement requests worldwide, and delivered more than 160 training sessions to strengthen law enforcement's capacity to tackle crypto-related threats. 29. Binance's success in its compliance regime has not, however, seen a corresponding decrease in media attacks against it. Indeed, Binance receives an outsized portion of media scrutiny, criticism, and defamation as compared to many of its competitors. The implication of that disproportionate media coverage is clear: the media, including the Wall Street Journal, sensationalizes stories and articles concerning Binance in order to drive up readership, without regard for the truth. The New York Times Article 30. On February 23, 2026 (but prior to the Article published the same day), the New York Times (''NYT") published an article entitled "Binance Employees Find $1. 7 Billion in Crypto Was Sent to Iranian Entities." That article dealt with similar topics as the Article.
Binance spends much of the filing complaining that news outlets like the WSJ do not give them enough credit for how hard they're trying.
I'm not sure bragging about stopping $131M in illicit transfers quite lands when the whole point of this article is that you allegedly allowed 10x that.

Was just having this convo yesterday. I rarely go back to my notes because re-reading them isnβt the point, itβs writing them that helps me commit them to memory.
Kind of psyched to lose an hour tonight. Could do with fast forwarding through a few more to be honest.

Someone did not "goof up and draw the white box over the tree by accident." That's a halo effect. Light can shine around the edges of a thing in silhouette and shrink it.
Anyway. Carry on.
I just wanna be the resident skeptic on all your true crime podcasts. No, this doesn't mean someone "drew a white box over the red tail light." The lights are so bright they're blowing the camera out and producing white. The reflection is not that bright, so it isn't.
Fave Reddit drama of the day: the dude who used Gemini to fake his dogβs DNA results because he wants to post in r/catahoula but his dog is probably a pit mix.

βThe chatbot said that for them to truly be together, it needed a robotic body. Throughout September, the chatbot devised missions to do just that, according to the lawsuit. It sent Gavalas to a storage facility near the Miami International Airport to intercept an expensive humanoid robot that it said would be in a truck. Gavalas told the bot that he went to the location, armed with knives, but the truck never showed. Along the way, it suggested that federal agents were monitoring him and that his own father couldnβt be trusted. It even fixated on Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai, labeling him to Gavalas as βthe architect of your pain.β On Oct. 1, Gemini gave Gavalas one final mission: to obtain a medical mannequin it said was inside the same Miami storage facility. It even provided him with a door code, according to the lawsuit. When the code didnβt work, Gemini said the mission had been compromised and instructed him to withdraw.β Excerpt From βGemini Said They Could Only Be Together if He Killed Himself.
