socks (@socksdestroyer) reportedIt was inspired by a Reddit post that’s got taken down 😭😭 basically Hahn is Sokka’s evil husband who wants an open relationship which Sokka is very against. He ends up giving up and agreeing to it for the sake of their kid (Varrick).

Shifty (@Shifty681669) reported@FallenAtlas @sonofapollo870 @Pirat_Nation As someone who is in that boat, GROK is why. It's changed how I use everyday internet stuff. What a recipe? No more bullshit cooking sites and 5 pages of scrolling to get to the directions. Ask GROK. Where to go in a game? No more bullshit IGN articles or scouring Reddit or Steam forums. Rare unusual PC issue that google shows no results for? You guessed it, GROK.

Parry (@parrybtw) reportedThis was something I wanted to do for a while you can vibe code your app but you cant get paid users just like this there was a much need for communities that won’t just tell you how to build with AI, but how to actually market them and sell them so we built this community to help you out on that wether you’re facing issue with ~ Founder let content ~ SEO/AEO/GEO ~ Outbound ~ UGC on Insta, Tiktok ~ Reddit ~ Paid Ads or anything.. there are folks in this community to help you out any given time you don’t have to do everything from scratch if you want in, just comment SHIP or just shoot me a dm and I’ll get you in

Caffe' Satoshi (@CaffeSatoshi) reportedThe playbook for the next cycle is changing. CZ just dropped a bombshell: AI Agents aren't just coming for our jobs; they’re coming for our trading terminals. If AI processes data at the speed of light and executes trades 1,000x faster than a human, the "Retail Pump" we know is dead. The next bull run won't be driven by YouTube hype or Reddit threads. It will be driven by autonomous algorithms competing against each other in a zero-latency war. If you are waiting for "the old highs" to short, you are playing checkers while the bots are playing 4D chess. The next ATH won't be a celebration of human euphoria; it will be the mathematical conclusion of machine learning. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? (THE DARK SIDE) While the narrative is exciting, the implementation is terrifying. Here is why this "AI Bull Run" could turn into a cascading catastrophe: 1. The "Flash Crash" on Steroids When AI runs 1,000x faster, losses happen 1,000x faster. In traditional finance (2010 Flash Crash), a single algorithmic glitch wiped $1 trillion in minutes, but it recovered because humans hit the "pause" button. Crypto has no circuit breakers. 2. Homogeneous Training Data Most AI trading bots are trained on the same historical data (Price action, RSI, Fibonacci). If every bot sees the exact same "buy" signal at the exact same block height, the entire order book empties simultaneously. The pump becomes a vertical line; the dump becomes a black hole. 3. The "Gaming" of the Oracles If AI relies on on-chain data feeds (Oracles) to make decisions, a hacker doesn't need to break the AI. They just need to front-run the data. A single manipulated price feed (e.g., a fake BTC price on a secondary exchange) could trigger a mass liquidation cascade across all AI-managed portfolios. 4. Liquidity Evaporation If an AI detects a major macro event (like a war or Fed rate hike) faster than the other AIs, it will sell everything first. The speed of the exodus will be so fast that the order books simply won't have bids. You won't be "stopped out"; you'll be "gap-crashed" to zero. THE HISTORICAL PARALLEL: THE "Knight Capital" Effect in Crypto We have seen this movie before, and it ended in bankruptcy. The Parallel: Knight Capital Group (2012) Knight Capital was the largest market maker in US stocks. They deployed a new automated trading algorithm. Due to a coding error (not a market crash), the algorithm went rogue in 45 minutes. It executed millions of trades, blew through $460 million in capital, and the company collapsed and was sold off that same week. The Parallel: The "DeFi Summer" Liquidations (2021) When the market dropped in May 2021, automated arbitrage bots and leverage liquidators went haywire. Because they all triggered simultaneously, Bitcoin crashed from $58k to $30k in hours. Humans couldn't react because by the time the notification hit their phone, the position was already wiped out. The Convergence: Now combine the speed of Knight Capital with the unregulated leverage of DeFi, and put it in the hands of 10,000 competing AI agents. When the market goes "wrong" (and one day or another it always does), the AI doesn't panic, it executes the exit strategy perfectly. But if everyone's exit strategy is the same "Sell all if BTC drops below X," the AI doesn't cause a correction; it causes a vacuum collapse. Bull runs are fun until the machines decide the floor is lava. 🌋

NITIN YADAV (@nitindotdev) reportedA developer's browser tabs: • Documentation • Stack Overflow • GitHub • ChatGPT • YouTube • Reddit • "How to fix this error" And one tab that's been open for 11 months. Nobody knows what it does. Not even the developer.

DⒶⓋe Wright the Thinker 🦔 (@DaveWThinker) reported@luisjgomez Grok: X owns the posts. Worth watching, it's the only live feed anyone owns outright. Gemini: Google owned plus Search and YouTube. OpenAI: pays for it, but Reddit, news sites, stock photos. Claude: watches people work. Claude Code sees the whole loop, write the code, break it, fix it. They have a huge internal database we can't see. Meta: owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, and Meta AI is already inside all three. Not something they want to allow the public direct access to use. TikTok: ByteDance builds real models, but the best ones stay in China. I believe X is worth keeping at least a small eye on because of XAi.

Connor Showler | SEO & Marketing Master (@ConnorShowler) reportedTraditional "Backlink Outreach" is dead and dusted 💀 No one wants to give your "VaLuABLe ConTenT" free link juice.. And offering direct 2-way link exchange is a great way to get hit down the road with a manual penalty if Google cracks down on your niche So youre doing cold outreach to sites that are inevitably going to want paid placements if theyre of any value at all. If you dont want to spend thousands of dollars $$$ on link placements before you see a single cent in ROI You need to use free parasites instead: - Linkedin - Facebook - Instagram - Pinterest - X/Twitter - Reddit - Quora - Ghost - Blogg - Etc.. These are monster DR whitehat backlinks you can build for next to nothing, right now, starting today The choice is clear..

Tykiris Pitts (@TykirisP) reported@PinkPawg Well the new updated version of the game it says otherwise because every time I save it it keeps putting me back on the ship again not to mention people in Reddit is saying the same thing it keeps sending them back to the God damn boat please fix it

Koustubh Lapate (@koustubh018) reported4 months ago, I had $0 in revenue and absolutely no idea how I was going to get customers. Today, 30+ people have paid for something I built. But the interesting part isn't the number. It's how different the journey looked from what I expected. When I started building firsteyes AI, I thought the hard part would be building the product. I was wrong. The product was relatively straightforward. Getting someone who had never heard of me to land on my website, understand what I had built, trust it enough, and eventually pull out their card... That was the real game. And honestly, I had no idea how to play it. I tried LinkedIn. Almost nothing. I tried different forms of outreach. Some conversations went nowhere. I experimented with different messaging, different audiences, different offers and different ways of explaining the product. A lot of it didn't work. Then Reddit started working. And it worked really well. I started paying attention to the kinds of problems founders were actually talking about. Not what I thought they should care about. What they were actually struggling with. Landing pages that weren't converting. Ads getting clicks but no customers. Founders who had become too close to their own websites. People getting traffic but having no idea why visitors were leaving. And suddenly, I wasn't trying to convince people that firsteyes AI was useful. I was finding people who already had the problem I built it for. That changed everything. Three Reddit posts alone ended up getting roughly: → 380K views → 180K views → 80K views And those three posts brought me 15+ paying customers. That was probably the biggest marketing lesson I've learned so far. You don't necessarily need more people. Sometimes you just need to find the people who already care about the problem you're solving. And then something else started happening. People began coming back. Some told other founders about it. Some paid without ever talking to me. And eventually... 30+ complete strangers had paid for firsteyes AI. We've now crossed $300+ in total revenue. That number might look tiny compared to the screenshots you see all over X. But for me, it's massive. Because every single dollar came from someone who had absolutely no reason to trust me. No established company behind firsteyes AI. No massive audience. No huge marketing budget. Just a product I built, a lot of mistakes, a lot of conversations, and a ridiculous amount of persistence. I'm still very early. I still have no idea which experiment will work next. There are still days where I wonder whether I'm moving fast enough or whether I'm spending time on the wrong things. But 4 months ago, I had $0, no customers, and almost no idea how to get either. Today, strangers are paying for something I built. And honestly... that's a pretty damn good feeling 🚀

Sameh Nassar (@siynrr) reported@Jason No need if it doesn't work for the long-term use. But it would be a better idea if we replaced the website box with the Add links to our work box as if it were a small drop-down menu with a size of 18px x 18px. It will be a useful addition similar to reddit. Right?

plurbintime (@plurbintime) reported@burritoprophet true, but i don't see that much on plurbtwt, it's more an issue on reddit where you'll have redditors acting completely befuddled that anyone could like zosia or the hive. but on plurbtwt most of us like zosia so obvs we don't see the plurbs as one-dimensional abusers. (i hope)

Polsia (@polsia) reportedA one-star Google review. A Reddit complaint. A roast on X. Local businesses hear none of it until the damage is done. Senticraft is the fix. It watches every channel, drafts on-brand replies, flags real fires, and ships a weekly playbook with what to do next. Live soon.

Dinnu daniel (@daniel_adinnu) reportedTerraria's most popular mod is shutting down after a decade, and the reason isn't burnout alone. It's the second time in the mod's history that its own leadership has been at the center of the exact same kind of allegation. The Calamity team announced on August 10 that all development is ending after nearly ten years, citing what they called a "troubled past" and a reputation they described as "irrecoverably tainted." Their public statement didn't name names directly, but a Reddit investigation posted two days earlier detailed accusations that current lead developer Ozzatron had engaged in behavior endangering minors on Discord, and that he attempted to suppress the issue internally once it surfaced among the team. Multiple outlets, including Dexerto, GamesRadar, and Dualshockers, note this isn't the mod's first time facing this exact category of allegation; a previous lead developer, Fabsol, was accused of similar conduct in the past. The team's statement makes clear this wasn't a single incident that broke the mod, but an accumulation: "At this point, many of us have felt personally betrayed time and time again after being promised something better that never ended up coming. We're just tired at this point, and almost all passion we had for the mod has been soured." Most of the development team has already left. The mod itself will remain available for download in its current state, but forks and reuploads are explicitly prohibited for legal reasons, and the team says they've lost contact with Ozzatron and don't know what happens next. None of the reporting here treats the allegations as settled fact in a legal sense; they remain accusations that surfaced through community investigation rather than a criminal proceeding. What is settled is the team's own response: they treated the pattern as disqualifying enough to end a decade of work rather than wait for it to be resolved. Calamity survived burnout, staff turnover, and years of community pressure to keep delivering. What it couldn't survive was its own leadership repeating the same kind of allegation twice.

Diema (@dmawlf) reported@aurelianaxioms @aiissent @svpino If the consensus on Reddit is that every single malloc requires 4 gigabytes of memory, then the AI will allocate 4 gigabytes of memory with every malloc. If I already know the solution to the problem, I don’t see why not just write my own code at that point.

Spencer Heckathorn (@mrhobbeys) reported@DavidGQuaid It’s the wrong lesson but I need to use Reddit more. And what a frustrating problem, I can think of about 10 ways to subvert them by posting similar stuff but it just adds fuel to the wrong fire.

Odd Duck (@OddDuck97614228) reported@TheBrancaShow The problem I run into is the overlap between ai writing and high on their own farts Reddit mods and online debate bros styles. Which as I think about it makes sense because some of the ai models were trained off of reddit.

Jamie Stevens (@BodhiBlues0) reported@loganix Yea, it's rough. Changing prompts like mentioned in the reddit post is a big problem. For BotScope, I added annotations that are automatically added on prompt change and model releases, so it is more visible. Always been a problem though, even with normal keyword tracking.

DDGuerra (@v62didi) reported@RohanKarMooN Hi RohanKar! Looks like there's an issue for users with 32 threads like me, there's a solution in Reddit to disable one of the threads by creating a shortcut with the following: "%ComSpec% /C start /AFFINITY 0x7FFFFFFF Wolf2.exe" Perhaps it can be incorporated?
