$INOD’s largest customer: Meta, according to interviews with former employees, sell-side research, and even an old short report. So if it’s working on “the personalization of long-horizon agents,” that sounds like Muse. https://t.co/nPxHgXFP2n

NEW: Innodata, a data-labeling company based out of New Jersey, reportedly has one big customer: Meta. $INOD recently disclosed helping that customer with the “personalization of long-horizon agents.” Is Innodata involved in Muse? https://t.co/SueZNIP4Mx

Wrote this quick note when adding $GRAB to my internal watchlist after the dual insider transactions by CEO @AnthonyPY_Tan and COO @alexhungate that were filed after hours yesterday. The purchase reminds me of Neil Mehta's (Greenoaks) insider purchases of Coupang $CPNG and @Alfred_Lin's $100 million purchase of DoorDash $DASH for Sequoia last year.

What happens when you sell the dumb toy biz? What happens when you stop allocations of MTG from everyone else and funnel to $GME shelves? How does store traffic improve?
