  @johnvvariety Until Reddit changes its fact-check policy, I think it's a relatively good idea. Not as good as shutting it down, but the fewer people reading the better

  @gatewaypundit Reddit is a far left fascist cesspool. They dont just censor the right, they ban the right. I have an account for one reason: sports. The sports communities I follow turned into anti-ICE communities. Pro-ICE comments were removed instantly. The administration needs to fix reddit

  Distribution Update :- A founder launching a startup today can build the product faster than at almost any point in history. But Distribution is still painful. And that is why this launch caught my attention. Okara’s CMO v2 asks for your website and then deploys specialised AI agents across SEO, AI search, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, content, technical fixes and influencer marketing. But let’s just forget the number of agents. The interesting part is how far they are allowed to act. One agent can change code and open an SEO fix through GitHub. (Cool) Another can run an influencer campaign from finding the creator all the way to negotiating the price and clearing the payment. (Insane) This is where AI products are getting much more consequential. 2023 AI: “I wrote your marketing plan.” 2024–25: “I created the content.” Now: “I found the opportunity, created the work, contacted the person, changed the website and came back for approval.” I wouldn’t replace a great marketer with it tomorrow. But for the millions of startups that don’t have a great marketer or a marketing team at all. this can change the minimum team required to compete. We used to ask how many people a startup needed to reach $10M revenue. I’m increasingly interested in the opposite question: How much revenue can an exceptionally good 3 person company eventually build when every function around them can spawn its own agents?

  @TrueAIHound We are only building AI and robots because we can. We don't have a real use for them yet, and we have the problem of their replacing workers creating unemployment. In economics this is called Say's Law, that supply creates demand. In normal economics demand creates supply, people want something and they work out a way to supply it. But in Say's Law it is reversed. They find a way to make something that is initially useless. Like buckets that always leak, but they are easy to make so they sell them. Then people tried to find some use for leaky buckets. They find that plants don't get over watered when some can leak out the bottom. But no one said, I need a leaky bucket, there should be a leaky bucket industry. Instead people started punching a hole in a bucket, a demand was identified, now they supply pots that have the hole. Mobile phones were another example of Say's Law. At first, they were useless because hardly anyone else had them. But the supply created demand as people developed apps for them. No one said we need a mobile phone with lots of apps on it. Instead, Jobs made them, and people realized they were useful. AI and robots are the next example of Say's Law. We don't know where these robots will work, and what happens to the human workers they displace. But we have robots, so we need to create some demand for them. Buy a robot to do your dishes and fold your laundry, etc. LLMs are the same, the demand is so low that AOpenAI, xAI, and Anthropic can't make money out of them. But people are finding more uses for them, often to summarize and for searching information. So demand is increasing while the supply of increasing intelligence outstrips any conceivable demand. We then invent imaginary demands, whether practical or not. AIs can cure diseases, end death, build us all Mc Mansions. We don't know if any of this is possible, but the supply of AI is making people think of demands for it. Say's Law. The problem is that leaky buckets are sometimes useless. We don't yet know how useful AI and robotics will be. Many companies find it worse than useless. We only know we can supply them, and there is some demand. A venture capitalist explained the idea of the Robin Hood broker was so good because it was useless. Build it and they will come, and a market of untapped investors began to demand what Robin Hood supplied. This started on Reddit as people discovered share trading. So the point of AI and robotics has nothing to do with what people want. It's that we can build them, and some kinds of uses will have to be found. That's Say's Law.

  @mirandadufrane @ManMilk2 Apparently the debate happening over his fresh corpse was a Shakespeare thing. 💀 the assassins were still Reddit asf though. They tried to talk to the senators there afterwards and after everyone moped TF out they walked down the street yelling about freedom before going home.

  Monopoly Capital 💸 (@mply_cap) reported 22 minutes ago

  The public web is running out of new training data to train AI. Reddit, Wikipedia, the open internet has already been scraped. What's left is corporate data locked behind NDAs and privacy law. Bankruptcy is the loophole. Google just won the auction for Spirit Airlines' internal dataset for $10M (pending approval Aug 19): 500M Teams messages, 100M emails, 30M lines of code, pricing models, operational records. (No customer data, PII scrubbed). To build agents that do actual office work, models need to see how real employees negotiate, collaborate, and solve internal problems. This is a rare end to end blueprint for it. $GOOGL

  Have you Reddit? A boy desperately needs money to buy a new car However, his mother forcibly tells him no. The boy, undeterred, decides to get a job to pay. He applies for many jobs, ranging from a mechanic to delivering newspapers. However, he is not accepted for any of them. Slowly, he gives up on his dream of buying a car. Weeks later, the boy tells his mother that he has got a job as a fence fixer. She is overjoyed for him, but something doesn't seem right. She has noticed her son occasionally sneaking out at night. One night, she follows him all the way to the rich neighbourhood on the other side of town. She watches as he rips out a fence from the front lawn of a house, and lays it down next to its foundations. Just before he leaves, she confronts him. "Why have you been destroying other people's fences?" she asks. "They will pay me the next day to fix it," the boy answers, ashamed. "Rich people can give me up to £100 just for putting their fence back." "But why do you need the money?" The boy looks up. "You see, reposting is the quickest way to car, ma."

  REDDIT $RDDT FALLS 7% THE DAY BEFORE IT JOINS THE S&P 500 - UP TO #4 MORPHEU5’S HYPERGROWTH WATCHLIST: Reddit $RDDT at $165.84, -$12.25 / -6.9% today - among the biggest one-day falls of any large, widely-followed U.S. company on an otherwise quiet market day: S&P 500 at 7,752.76, -33.00 / -0.42%. Reddit runs the message-board network where people gather in topic communities, sells ads against those conversations, and licenses the text to AI companies. Tomorrow it becomes an S&P 500 member. Today it gave back most of the celebration. The mechanic makes this odd. S&P Dow Jones Indices said after Thursday's close that Reddit joins the index before Tuesday's open, August 18. Every fund built to track that index has to own the stock, so required buying lands on a known date. Friday reacted fast: the stock opened at $175.78 from Thursday's $158.12 close and settled at $178.09, +$19.97 / +12.6%, on 21.5M shares against a normal day near 6.6M. Today's $12.25 slide erases about 61% of that gain on roughly 10.0M shares. The people who bought the announcement are selling to the funds that have no choice. The pop was covering an older problem. On July 31 the stock fell from $178.04 to $140.67 - $37.37, or -21.0%, its worst day as a public company - after second-quarter results put U.S. daily active users, people who open Reddit on a given day, at 53.2M. Analysts modeled about 54M; the March quarter was 53.5M. First sequential dip, and the reason named was choppy search referrals. Alphabet $GOOGL at $343.87, -$2.03 / -0.6% today, increasingly answers questions with an AI summary at the top of Google rather than a list of links, and fewer readers ever click into a Reddit thread. The business is not the weak part. June-quarter revenue - money coming in the door - was $804.9M against $499.6M a year earlier, +61%. Net income was $252.8M against $89.3M - about 31 cents of every sales dollar landed as profit. The stock still sits roughly 41% under its September 2025 high of $282.95. Len5 fit: Reddit sits fourth on the Hypergrowth Len5, which watches young companies growing fast enough to change their own scale. The June quarter is why - 61% sales growth with real profit behind it, uncommon at this stage. What would move it off that watch: users flat for another quarter or two, since ad revenue follows the audience. Alphabet sits first on the Quality-Value Len5, which looks for durable businesses at a sensible price; search, YouTube and Google Cloud are the durable half, and a much higher price against flat earnings power would cost it that spot. What to watch is not tomorrow's opening bell. It is whether U.S. daily users steady in the September quarter, and whether the AI-licensing deals get renewed. Index membership changes who owns a stock. It does not change what the company earns - and one bad day proves neither a broken business nor a bargain. Not investment advice.

  @DanielKlein42 @darwintojesus Oooh a strawman! Trying to speedrun midwit errors with a veneer of reddit snark/sarcasm, huh? I appreciate the walk down memory lane man, I really do. Like a nostalgic hit of redditor-atheism from 2010, practically vintage stuff these days

  @PepeJesus117 Yeah thats fair pushback, but my issue isn’t just with the overall numbers, it’s the content of the reviews that concern me. There is a lot of corroboration on some very concerning allegations across there and on Reddit in relation to billing practices and clinical practice Maybe you are right and it’s a small, malicious sub section of angry bitter people, but whenever Iv seen your typical “review bomb” crowd it’s usually masses of low effort one liners with a 1 star rating. This feels a lot more than that Combine that with other transparency issues and the FTC litigation and you have something that is at least worthy of consideration
