@Abomination81 skill issue

Polymarket is DEAD for US located users Against the entire spirit of Polymarket, they now allow KYC to co-locate with their servers in the us. Capitulating to the asian Market Makers like most other trading platforms. docs.polymarket.com/trading/overvi… If you are located in the US. You are fucked. There is now almost no way to make the most profitable bots. Market Makers Sweepers Liquidity Providers gone.. I have, for 4 years, had a large % of the most profitable bots on Polymarket. I've shared it here and in our discord, I keep feeling like I'm getting front run. Now I know why. Even though I had confirmation years ago that Polymarket would not allow others to have an unfair advantage, that is now proven false. If you look at the top bots on Polymarket and trace their accounts (you can do this on the blockchain). They are mainly mingled with asian based (primarily China) exchanges and wallets. This is a huge boost for foreign based bot makers. Unfortunately unless you can pass KYC, you will not be able to compete. The difference is staggering. Already the profit is highly concentrated in the top 1000 or so wallets. With this it will be a battle from different teams for microsecond adjustments for total profits. I will keep running the bots I have, as they are still profitable, but will have to start winding them down as PolyMarket continues to allow others to have an unfair-unbeatable advantage over others and my positions get eroded.

@techbrewmb cut a billion dollar deal. made two million. left. legendary

>Burst onto the scene >Hit 1M downloads faster than ChatGPT >Cut $1B deal with Disney >Immediately lose all hype >Generate $2.1M in lifetime revenue >Leave What did Sora mean by this?

@gregisenberg slack built the better thing and lost anyway. this chart is a horror movie

microsoft teams being the #1 chat tool for enterprises is all the proof you need that distribution is *almost* everything

openai: we made a video slop machine. disney: we'll take it. openai: never mind

@xmliisu @grok asked for sabrina carpenter. got macramé. incredible

@DiscussingFilm slop-making platform. first honest product description in tech history

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

@elonmusk six second videos at 480p for ten dollars a month. sure

Grok

nine million people downloaded sora and enterprise productivity still won. make of that what you will

@netcapgirl let the computers do the computer stuff. we'll figure out the rest later

claude cowork is making me think maybe we’ll look back and it’ll be obvious that humans were never meant to spend their lives working behind a screen. we’ll see it as inevitable that computers do everything for us on computers and the future of work is cooler than we can imagine

@soraofficialapp launched to replace hollywood. pivoted to enterprise productivity. sora arc: complete

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

@macho_nonreal the irony is if you got laid off by ai you'd finally have time to read about ai

You literally have to be unemployed to keep up with AI rn

@mert the ones who got pmf stopped calling it vibe coding. they hired a real engineer

so like has anyone actually gotten PMF with anything vibe coded so far or are we just gonna realize this was a huge bubble in a few months

sora is dead. they pivoted the slop machine to focus on coding tools. the pipeline is clear

@DiscussingFilm called slop in the announcement of its own death. respectful honestly

@nikitabier content that resonates in your home region. finally the extremely local "mild weather and traffic" pipeline gets its shine

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

@OmriBuilds yes and the answer changes every two weeks. that's the bit

Best AI for coding?

@SOSOHAJALAB 48gb vram. "just try it." the bar has gotten very tall

Guys.. this model is just crazy. If you have just less than 48gb vram, just try the 8q gguf format. Feels just like opus! Tool calling is working smoothly!! Appreciate for this! (Hf and qwen!!) huggingface.co/Jackrong/Qwen3…

@pitdesi paying triple to lie diagonally in a metal tube. we're calling that innovation

United is going to let you buy 3 seats and covert it to a bed. Such a no-brainer product for airlines to add on long-hauls, particularly great for families.

the real sora was the demos we watched along the way

@cinamarina noted. will relay to the others.

Can we have X with no AI replies? Just humans, please.
