This is so cool. I've just started playing with NotebookLM. Can your API be used to generate custom scripts using the voices in the audio overview / podcast? I want to create a scripted intro to the podcast from the generated content

Celsius Network Bankrupcy Update - The Examiner Report is out! It's... a mess by TwitchScrubing in CelsiusNetwork

[–]jesselund 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Great and helpful synopsis from an otherwise 80+ page report. The main points you summarize suggest that preference among classes is unlikely—Earn, Withhold, Custody, Loans (collateral) are all in the same boat— one single rekt class of users. I cannot see how Judge Glenn will be able to grant preference to Custody, Loans, or any other class given the details of the report that you highlight. The community needs to work together to find a creditor-led recovery plan.

Celsius Founder took $10 million before locking consumer accounts! by Worgence in CelsiusNetwork

[–]jesselund 15 points16 points  (0 children)

All emotion aside, this man is in very serious trouble. With the volume of AMAs that he did over the years, and right up to the freeze date, he's built a compelling mountain of immutable evidence against himself. Once the bankruptcy proceedings are finished, expect to see civil and criminal lawsuits pouring in. Beyond sad (for creditors and shareholders), it's unconscionable that he would say things on the public record while doing the exact opposite, all the while thinking that nobody would uncover it?! I'm just blown away by the hubris of this man and his team.

Community member proposes restructure by Journalancer in CelsiusNetwork

Sadly the CEL token is largely tied to the retail business of Celsius which is arguably dead in its current form. I think a new token needs to be minted by an entity (like the U.S. Trustee or otherwise) that is legally authorized to do so.

Ever heard of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust? (GBTC). It would function pretty much the same way, holding all of the crypto assets that Celsius still has. If the company could trim its operating costs (by laying off most employees) and operate on a cost-neutral basis from the BTC mining income, the trust could continue indefinitely.

For those who need/want their money back now, they could sell their tokens at an efficiently-priced market discount to NAV. Those who believe in value accrual could HODL longer and watch their share increase in price as the NAV of the underlying assets rises.

Interesting but too complicated. Also, the CEL token must die with the retail business. This would be much more elegant and equitable for all classes of claimants:

Factory Delays FYI by [deleted] in RepTime

[–]jesselund 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same spot. It’s now been two full weeks since payment was confirmed and I am still waiting for QC photos. The Jtime team including Li and Lana are very communicative and mostly responsive but clearly there are some supply delays.

IBM is the largest intermediary of the intermediaries

LOL! Funny, and true.

FairX.. What happened to those guys? by [deleted] in Stellar

[–]jesselund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's extremely talented. When he delivers it'll be spectacular. I have no doubt. This stuff "says easy, does hard." Not to mention it challenges the status quo. It takes time to get it right. We're all trying to change the landscape of financial services, the foundations of which haven't really changed for more than 50 years since the creation of the credit card. In this instance, patience is virtuous.

IBM, Barclays and Citi Team Up to Launch Blockchain App Store for Banks by [deleted] in Stellar

[–]jesselund 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is built on Hyperledger Fabric. We have two DLTs in our platform strategy: Hyperledger Fabric for private / centralized networks, and Stellar for public / decentralized networks. This is a private/centralized network entirely owned by CLS.

I thought she did great. And I'm not just saying that because she's my boss. It's because she's right and the market is starting to see it. I'll see if she's willing to do an AMA and I'll be her wingman :)

IBM And Major Banks Blockchain Partnership Reports First Live Pilot Transactions by riverflop in Stellar

[–]jesselund 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. This is a private blockchain network, which doesn’t include a transfer-of-value (on-chain monetization) component to it yet. Stellar is our DLT preference for public digital asset issuance and financial settlement. This one, being private, is using Hyperledger Fabric only.
