Holy guacamole. Get it fast! #claude

@briansolis So what happened to the customer service employees if they were made 100% redundant?

IKEA deployed an AI chatbot named Billy to handle level-one customer service inquiries. It reportedly resolved around 57% of those engagements without human escalation. Most companies would have celebrated the labor savings and stopped there. Cost takeout right? But the more interesting move was to study the 43% of cases Billy could not resolve. Those unresolved inquiries pointed to customer demand for interior design help. IKEA responded by spinning up a design consultancy, reskilling customer service employees powered by AI, and creating a new revenue stream that generated roughly €1 billion in new revenue in its 1st year. Automation + Augmentation = Exponential Growth 💪🦾📈 Story here: @briansolis/the-real-threat-of-ai-is-what-your-competitors-will-become-with-it-b2df702db4af?postPublishedType=repub" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@briansolis/th…

@capexbt You can't short Dubai real estate. Show "receipts" or it didn't happen

I shorted Dubai real estate when the entire internet told me I was insane. - everyone said Dubai only goes up - “you’re shorting the safest market in the world” - 4.4 million people saw my tweet. Most of them thought I was crazy. I didn’t flinch. I saw what they couldn’t. Iran war breaks out. Bombs hit The Palm. The moment the first strike landed I knew it was over. Foreign capital froze overnight. 32% crash in 2 weeks. Fastest since 2008. I closed the short. Receipts posted. After: Only silence from everyone who laughed.

@MDXreal did you sale your places?

Definitely gunna miss my Burj Khalifa spot 🇦🇪 #Dubai It’s for the best, so many offers, i’ll be back one day Dubai.

I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.

@juliadziesinska I thought it was high at first but then I saw half of it is imported

this is what $69 of groceries look like in thailand btw

@kurbaitaev Been saying for a while, the data from that app is misleading x.com/AlexTapio/stat…

Vibe-coded an app on Replit to track what’s actually happening in Dubai’s property market. My timeline was flooded with takes about how the market is “cooked.” Even CZ reposted a site claiming “huge drops.” So I checked it myself: Aggregated multiple data sources Built a scoring system to surface real deals Synced everything with official government data Result: no "panic sellers"

@kurbaitaev Great app! Where do you get your data from?

Luxembourg ranking 9 in Claude usage globally Did I hardcode my API key again

@robinebers @elonmusk The internet speed is slower than fiber

so let me get this straight: → cheaper than local internet → you can take it with you to 150 countries → high speed internet everywhere ??? is this real life? @elonmusk thank you so much

Incredible to see that despite the war, Dubai real estate transactions have been remarkably strong. 🇦🇪 Official data showing a drop in the first week of the US-Israeli war, now shows higher volumes for the second week, on par with the weeks both pre-conflict and pre-ramadan. There's no doubt conflict will lower prices, however the market is still clearing. Source: Dubai Land Department.

dubai’s going to look bulletproof if this war ends in the next month and they absorbed all this punishment with minimal casualties and minimal airport closure the script gets flipped if war ends and they never came close to running out of food, water, rocket interceptors, etc

If Emaar corrects by another 20%, im going to buy in SIZE and call it a day for the UAE trade 1/Single digit PE 2/Best in Class player in UAE ( best in terms of balance sheet, execution, product quality and dozen more) 3/ Net profit more than 2xed in the last 3 years 4/Owned by Dubai Sovereign fund 5/Cleaner asset to own than RE 6/ AI benificiary eventually ( when smart money moves to Dubai again) 7/Last and more importantly, i believe UAE will eventually come back once this settles down What do you guys think?

@capexbt You can't even short the Dubai real estate market directly DFMREI is not even a tradeable security And individual Dubai stocks most likely you need a UAE bank or broker I doubt you do given your views

I successfully made the biggest short of my life. 1.6M people laughed at me. And now: Dubai Real Estate crashed 32% in 2 weeks. Everyone had an opinion on my trade. Nobody had a position.

@davidonchainx How to escape the matrix (easy)(my version): - Make $6,000 - Put it in a savings account with 1,200% interest - Earn $72,000/year in passive income - Travel the world and enjoy life What's holding you back?

How to escape the matrix (easy): - Make $600,000 - Put it in a savings account with 12% interest - Earn $72,000/year in passive income - Travel the world and enjoy life What's holding you back?

@capexbt Show the position or it didn't happen

$DFM (#Dubai's broader index) is still near an all time high

People are saying that people in the UAE including Dubai have been arrested and charged for filming the on-going conflict... Yet over 12,000 people were arrested in the UK for an online social media post. MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

@panicsellingxyz Good to see you remain impartial, despite your site's incentives 🤝

THE BULL CASE FOR DUBAI REAL ESTATE 📈 Everyone is panicking about Dubai real estate right now. Let me show you why this city eats corrections for breakfast. The numbers behind the Dubai machine: → 208,000 new residents moved to Dubai in the last 12 months. That's 570 people per day. Every single day. → The population just crossed 4 million in August 2025. It's projected to hit 4.7 million by end of 2026. → 214,000 property transactions closed in 2025 — AED 917 BILLION in total value. The most in history. → Golden visas issued hit an all-time record. 158,000 in 2023 alone and accelerating. → Zero income tax. Zero capital gains tax. The most attractive tax structure for global wealth on the planet. Now the "crash": The DFM Real Estate Index dropped ~20% in the first week of March. That sounds scary until you realize it's an Iran conflict risk premium — not a housing supply or demand problem. The actual listing data? 2% of luxury listings have price drops. 98% haven't moved. The sellers cutting are overleveraged flippers who bought off-plan during mania and are now watching 120,000 planned completions hit the market in 2026. That's not a crash. That's the weakest hands folding - and presenting an opportunity for sharp buyers. Meanwhile, 570 people a day are still moving here. Still buying. Still building. Every Dubai correction in the last decade was a buying opportunity. This one won't be different.

@QuintenFrancois I don't think this index represents "futures" per se. Developpers affected? Sure. Entire housing stock dropping 20-30%? Unlikely.

UPDATE: Dubai real estate index is now down 32% since the beginning of the conflict. Note that this index is acting as 'real estate futures'. Actual real estate prices are always lagging. I think there will be opportunities in Dubai after the panic settles.
