  Common Sense Investor (CSI) (@commonsenseplay) reported 14 minutes ago

  YES YOU - YOU'RE A RECKLESS SPECULATOR NOT AN INVESTOR! $SPCX $WEN $IREN $ONDS $IONQ $RGTI $PYPL $LULU $UBER $RDDT $NBIS $OKLO I’m re-reading The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham, and it got me thinking about how loosely we use the word “investor.” These days, especially on X, anyone who buys or sells a stock calls themselves an investor. But buying shares does not automatically make you one. There is a big difference between investing and speculating. An investor tries to understand what they own, what it is worth, what could go wrong and whether the price makes sense. They think about risk, position size, diversification and how the investment fits into their overall portfolio. A speculator is usually focused on what might go up next over next few minutes, hours or days! That includes people buying on maximum margin, treating leveraged ETFs like lottery tickets, shorting stocks without understanding the risks, gambling on short-dated options or chasing whatever is popular on X or Reddit! There is nothing wrong with admitting that you are speculating. The problem is pretending it is investing! Using leverage, options or short selling does not automatically make someone reckless. These tools can have a purpose. I use them too - but using them without understanding the downside is a different story. That is why I made this pyramid. The higher you go, the more the result depends on leverage, timing, hype, emotion and luck. At the bottom is the boring approach: a sensible asset mix, diversification, low fees, patience and a long-term plan. Boring does not get much attention, but it usually gives you a better chance of staying in the game long term - and actually reap the rewards of compounding! Capital is hard to earn, treat it with respect. Think about how many hours/weeks of work that last speculative trade was and you will feel different about it! Expect better from your decisions, your process and your future. Be a common-sense investor, not a reckless speculator!

  @STXAmbassador @LonewolfOne79 @BrentMills6378 Main issue aside from Reddit is the dude’s overall list. Aside from the quality of schools overall, they’re all Texas campuses (for the most part, just glanced). I will say also, it’s fine to think another schools campus is pretty. Doesn’t mean you root for the team

  @zowiefy They took it down immediately? it was most likely a reddit auto-moderator (bot), usually they do that if there was something wrong with the post/account. Maybe u dont have enough Karma? Either way u can try posting it in r/techjacket im sure they'll be good with it.

  The Illusion of Artificial Intelligence: Why Smart Search Engines Are Not Truly Intelligent What big tech companies publicize as "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) is, in reality, a highly advanced statistical pattern recognition and natural language summarization engine (Large Language Model / LLM). To be precise: current AI search engines are not truly "intelligent" - they are synthesizing tools endowed with remarkably sophisticated language capabilities. They accelerate information gathering, but they cannot perform critical source evaluation, logical filtering, or truth verification on our behalf, because those tasks require true intelligence and a perception of reality. When users ask a question, these AI models quickly gather data from available sources and synthesize conclusions. However, the authenticity and accuracy of that underlying data remain fundamentally unverified. The Illusion of the Google AI Overview Google’s AI Overviews now appear across almost every query, presenting digestible summaries directly on the search results page. Users have adopted this feature at a rapid pace because of its convenience. The underlying danger, however, is that almost no one fact-checks the claims listed in these summaries. This unverified trust is already creating serious complications, and worse ones are on the horizon. A striking example occurred when users searched for Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Google’s AI Overview presented a startling piece of false information as a highlighted fact: reporting that the executive had passed away on August 12, 2026. Vandalism, Data Poisoning, and Systemic Vulnerabilities This bizarre incident was not caused by a massive internal AI breakdown or a hoax by Google engineers, but rather by classic Wikipedia vandalism. Google’s automated crawlers constantly scrape and structure data from open public sources - primarily Wikipedia - to deliver instant summaries. A search bot indexed Sam Altman’s Wikipedia page during the exact brief window when a malicious user edited it to include a fake death date. The AI absorbed this claim without criticism and immediately broadcast it worldwide. Because no authoritative news outlets reported the tragedy, the tech community quickly identified the error. Google clarified that this was not a manual internal alteration, but an automated ingestion of manipulated public data. Once Wikipedia corrected the source page, the false date was removed from search results. While this specific event ended as an innocent blunder, it highlights the broader threat of data poisoning that AI services must confront: if the input is flawed, the output becomes useless. Extending Beyond Wikipedia: Vulnerable Data Ecosystems Wikipedia is far from the only compromised source. Modern AI engines actively prioritize open, community-managed, and structured platforms, making them uniquely susceptible to manipulation: Social Platforms and Forums (e.g., Reddit): Licensing deals allow AI engines to scrape user discussions in real time. Manipulated upvotes or prank comments can cause an AI to present absurd suggestions as verified facts. Fandom and Specialized Wikis: Smaller wikis lack heavy moderation, allowing false entries regarding pop culture or tech specs to persist unnoticed while AI engines continuously digest them. Community Directories and Maps: Unverified user edits on business listings can corrupt AI responses regarding hours, locations, or operational status. Automated SEO Farms and LLMO Manipulation: Websites built specifically for AdSense or optimized using Large Language Model Optimization (LLMO) craft structured data designed to fool AI scrapers into quoting false claims as absolute facts. The Necessity of Critical Thinking in the AI Era Ultimately, AI search engines function as accelerated summarizers rather than thinking entities. They operate under the principle of "garbage in, garbage out." As long as these models lack genuine world awareness and intrinsic source verification, the ultimate responsibility for fact-checking and critical evaluation remains squarely with the human reader. What is your opinion? Have you ever caught an AI search summary confidently stating something completely false? Do you treat AI responses as a final answer or just a starting point for your own research? Share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below!

  @BrainbowManic @JohnDoyle Go back to Reddit. I’m not doing this ****. It’s not interesting and it’s not fun. It’s annoying and full of error. If you treat evil equally with good, you will get rid of all that is good. Separation of church and state was a modern invention and it’s a lie. The state tells the church what to do, infiltrates it and even shuts it down during flu season (if it wants). You’re a midwit. But you don’t have to be.

  alot of founders are asking "how do I get my first 100 paying customers?" this is not about sending 1000s of emails or writing content that gets nowhere. here are questions you need to answer honestly if you want to get your first 100 paying customers for your saas 👇 let's imagine you built an AI tools for sales teams and you want to get your first 100 paying customers. question 1 → "who should we sell to?" you need to be clear about the business you're selling to — not just "businesses." something like: SaaS companies with 10-50 salespeople that are already spending $5k+/ month on sales tools question 2 → "what problem are we actually solving?" this is where your positioning and messaging comes in. instead of saying it an "AI-powered sales automation tool," you actually say "it's for sales reps that are wasting 2+ hrs every day researching prospects." question 3 → "where do these people hang out?" could be LinkedIn, X, Reddit, Google, cold email, etc. that's actually the distribution/acquisition strategy. question 4 → "how do we reach them?" for example, you could reach them through: LinkedIn content → landing page → free trial → activation → paid subscription. Or Cold email → demo → sales call → annual contract. that's the GTM motion. question 5 → "what should we say to them?" tell them what will change for them after using your products rather than just listing all the features. instead of: "our AI tool automates sales prospecting," try "give your sales reps back w hrs every day by automating prospect research." question 6 → "how do we know it's working?" now you track things like: visitors → sign-ups → activated users → demos → customers → revenue and calculate metrics like CAC, conversion rate, activation rate, retention, and LTV.

  @Argaroit @nocontextmemes It wasn't conveyed properly because people were too trusting of the wrong people.

  Reddit made the S&P 500, and the company it's keeping is the story. $RDDT joins the index Tuesday as only the second pure-play social media company ever to get in. Meta is the other one. That's the whole list. It earns the spot on real numbers: Q2 revenue of $805M, up 61% year over year, and net income roughly tripling to $253M. Still down about 30% on the year, even after this week's pop.
