@Pau1R0b $RDDT will probably get more accounts + revenue from AI bots that act like human so I’d guess earnings beat. Changing public opinion with AI is really bad for democracy and long term platform health though.

@cchronobreakk I mean Sam Altman was working on iris scan with his World project, so he probably saw it coming. But human verification is probably needed across the board now for each account. $RDDT doesn’t require much so platforms like that are first to be manipulated.

The internet is now cooked soon? With $RDDT to other social media like X more at risk due to AI. You can have new decision models like Jev making autonomous computer interaction at near $0 cost. (With actions becoming more human-like/adapative) Then LLMs outputs influencing behavior or leading conversations. So at scale, a malicious actor can spawn 50,000,000 bots just roaming the internet, with LLM prompts convincing people + manufacturing public opinion. The main bottleneck would be phone number, IP, account age, maybe hardware for compute + device identifiers (which is extremely cheap still)… rather than LLM cost. I’ve already anecdotally seen short sellers use AI bots to spread negative misinformation about companies like $SIVE. Or bots market ____ account as the best one to follow in the comments. Or as seen with X uncovering 200+ bots manipulating debate about datacenter public opinion. But the scale might be exponentially worse soon. Scary to think about.

@odynamite @mirror_mystery I run a concentrated portfolio and believe I have higher return opportunities. I have owned $KSPI for a while. I may buy some in small positions to scratch an itch

@Temptemo95 Thanks for following all this time! Entire training arc from $RDDT to 1M followers on X has been quite a rollercoaster. Guess like I need to start drawing anime and league characters on top of the $INTC or $NBIS charts again.

While everyone is focused on Bessent/He Lifeng talks today. Or $LITE / $MRVL / $SIVE at ECOC optical conference... I'm just curious why my followers can leave 2K+ comments if I post in Chinese... But if I share something in English: I only get 50 comments. Feels bad anon https://t.co/Pg6fojfMFx

@mirror_mystery $FICO $PDD $UBER $KNSL $BN $KSPI $CPRT $CSU.TO at low $2,000s because of anchoring bias. $FISV. I do not own many of these, just where I think there’s value based on research I have done.
