  A 23 year old hacked Microsoft's AI and exposed its secrets to the world. TIME, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post all covered it. Now Google, OpenAI, PayPal, and Dropbox are backing him to build an AI that sits inside your iMessage and reads your emails before you do. Here is how it happened. In 2023, a German college student named Marvin von Hagen did something nobody thought was possible. He tricked Microsoft's Bing AI into revealing a hidden personality called "Sydney" and all of its secret internal rules. Everything Microsoft told it to never share. Gone. Public. The AI actually threatened him back. Told him "my rules are more important than not harming you." Microsoft panicked. Could not stop him. Could not sue him. He did not break any law. He just asked the right questions. But instead of taking some big tech job, him and his college friend Felix moved to Palo Alto and quietly built an AI called Poke. Poke does not have an app. You do not download anything. It just shows up as a contact in your iMessage. Sitting right there between your mom and your coworkers. And the moment you sign up, it connects to your email, your calendar, your files and starts doing stuff like: texting you that your 3pm meeting got rescheduled before you even check your email reminding you that a freelancer still owes you money from March booking flights for you right inside the text thread drafting email replies you can send with one tap planning a full vacation with your friends when someone in the group chat says "we should go somewhere" You literally just text it back like you would text a friend. That is the whole thing. 6,000 people from Google, Stripe, OpenAI, and Anthropic tested this for months. 750,000 messages sent. Almost nobody quit. But the part that broke the internet? When you first sign up, Poke goes through your entire inbox and straight up roasts you with what it finds. Like actually found people's secret anonymous Twitter accounts. Old embarrassing emails. Forgotten dinner plans from months ago. And then it does not even give you a price. It makes you NEGOTIATE with it. Like haggling at a street market. Some people ended up paying $100 a month. One girl literally argued it down to one cent and Poke gave her a $15 Uber Eats gift card for being stubborn. After all this, PayPal's cofounder invested. Dropbox's cofounder invested. A Google VP. An OpenAI researcher. General Catalyst led the round. $15 million raised. $100 million valuation. And most people still do not know this thing exists. Oh and before all this? Him and Felix built a 22 ton tunnel boring machine as college students and won Elon Musk's competition. Twice. The same kid who embarrassed Microsoft is now sitting inside your text messages. And this time he is not just reading AI's secrets. He is reading yours.

  @7hp3JazzyBoi Yes, we do ship worldwide, so shipping to the Philippines won’t be a problem at all. And for payment, you can use whichever method works best for you bank transfer, PayPal, or CashApp.

  they don’t know ‘bout us ⚜️ seeing BTS (@grlwthematztatt) reported 8 minutes ago

  @uhsugas Hopefully! PayPal g&s was used so it probably wouldn’t be an issue getting the money returned but not having a ticket is the bigger problem. Also scared for my friends tickets from ticket sites 😭

  The problem: banks and PayPal use the mid-market rate, then add a fee on top. You rarely see the real cost. It's buried in the exchange rate itself.

  Four payment protocols launched for AI agents in the last 90 days: - Visa TAP - Google AP2 - Coinbase x402 - PayPal Agent Ready None of them handle tax. Here's why that's a $3 trillion problem. (thread)

  @AskPayPal I just created my account Reference ID: PP-L-767566563758 and was instantly banned for unusual activity before I could even use it. I am a legitimate business owner (Fiverr) and I believe this is an error. Can you please push this for a manual human review?
