I thought this was excessive and impossible, but as I was reading, I realized nowadays everything you say is technically possible. The future gives me the chills.

The likely outcome is that the phone system becomes massively more locked down. Your phone will only ring if the caller has a number which is backed by a real ID, particularly one from your own country. It will become increasingly difficult to contact someone you don’t have a legitimate connection to. The banking system will become increasingly fraud resilient with better real time detection of fraud. Your phone may…

We've had phone fraud for decades, and the system has dragged its heels forever. I genuinely don't know if even this will be enough to address phone spam.

Some would argue, forcefully at that, that AI cannot make art and/or cannot be used to make art. What I saw was Transmetropolitan setup, where Hole renews their presence online every 5 minutes or so to avoid government censor.

People used to say the same about photography a while ago.

And there's the famous question of whether submarines can swim.

We're starting strong on the category of businesses that generate no actual value and just scrape an amount of value out of existing transactions that would've happened anyway, i.e., rent-seeking. But good for you, you can now artificially shri…

So basically you didn’t ask your original question in good faith. Got it. Thanks for wasting my time.

Could there be a simpler explanation?

> I am also not sure who Stripe Atlas for. It's for founders who don't have lawyers. My co-founder and I are both developers, we used Stripe Atlas to incorporate a C-Corp due to expecting to fundraise ------- I said we made a C-Corp but other founders should default to LLC, which Stripe Atlas can also streamline. An LLC is superior to C-Corp in pretty much every way for any pre-raise founders who don't have an extra…

Yes unless you have a very very very good reason it's always best to just file a basic LLC in the state you are a resident of. Only costs a few hundred dollars at most and doesn't really complicate taxes

This is totally false, sorry. Delaware entities are the standard. Delaware corporate law is better understood than any other by a long shot. Dealing with a random non-Delaware LLC is usually a hint that your counterparty is a rube.

Welcome to the grift economy.

state did this for centuries or longer btw. they create violence/war in some area of the planet, then offer to "fix it". like wmd's in iraq and hormuz problem now, lmao. remember how hormuz was not a problem and it was wideoy peaceful and open months ago? lol

but you live in these "states" so aren't you the problem?

The reason this blog post does not come with any concrete examples how to use this enablement for useful and constructive things tells you something very important - it is a toy and they do not know who and how they will use it. It is cool feature but to what end? Buying a domain is not something you have to do daily to require any kind of automation. I am also not sure who Stripe Atlas for. I am genuinely confused.…

Downvoted. Stripe Atlas is a massively successful service that handles 100K+ incorporations annually. It's a key piece of Stripe's ecosystem support. You writing that you're "not sure who it's for" suggests to me that maybe you're out of your depth here as a general matter.

While I don't necessarily disagree with a lot of the skepticism and negative sentiment around this, it's worth noting this _does_ require having a Stripe account, which (last I was aware) does require that you prove you're a real person and provide banking details, at least in order to transact in production. That will certainly limit the use of a lot of spammers, scammers, etc. no? Or, maybe I'm misreading and/or being naive!

Note: I am a CloudFlare customer, but on a very low plan and probably have no use for this.

Eventually all the domain name purchasing will be done by agents. (Easiest prediction ever)
