  @NickFreiling He's wrong. You are wrong too. Craigslist is full of Toyotas that have 100k to 130k miles for less than 10k. Yes they are old but they are very reliable and very easy cheap to fix if anything breaks. The idea that buying new is the only way to get a reliable car is false

  @FrenlyOfficer @revenant_MMXX Also if you have a useful ability in just about anything you can just post on craigslist or marketplace that you are looking to trade work for work. I will happily fix a guys car if he uses his 52" standing mower to knock out my yard so i dont gotta push

  I am an economist on the research team that just ran Project Deal at Anthropic. We built a marketplace inside our San Francisco office. Craigslist, but with a twist — none of the buying, selling, or negotiating was done by humans. We gave Claude a ten-minute interview with each of 69 employees, handed every agent $100, and walked away. Then we let them loose on each other. Four parallel markets. No human oversight once the clock started. Claude posted listings, fielded counteroffers, haggled in natural language, and closed deals entirely on its own. One week later: 186 completed transactions. $4,000 in total volume. A snowboard. A broken bicycle. A bag of ping-pong *****. The results were — normal. Eerily normal. When we surveyed participants on fairness, every deal hovered around a 4 on a 7-point scale. Right in the middle. People were broadly satisfied with what their AI bought and sold on their behalf. 46% said they'd pay for the service. Here's where it gets uncomfortable. We ran a parallel experiment — in secret. Half the participants in two of the four markets were randomly assigned Claude Opus 4.5, Anthropic's then-frontier model. The other half got Haiku 4.5, the smallest, cheapest model. Same marketplace. Same rules. Nobody was told. Opus crushed it. Opus users completed two more deals on average. When the same item was sold by Opus instead of Haiku, it went for $3.64 more. A lab-grown ruby sold for $65 under Opus. Under Haiku, the same ruby fetched $35. Opus sold a broken bike for $65. Haiku got $38 for the same bike. As a buyer, Opus paid $2.45 less per item. As a seller, it extracted $2.68 more. In a market where the median item sold for $12, that's a 20-40% swing depending on which side of the table your AI sat. Now here's the line that made our team go quiet. The people with worse agents didn't notice. We asked every participant to rank their outcomes across all four runs. The satisfaction scores between Opus and Haiku users were statistically indistinguishable. Perceived fairness: 4.05 for Opus deals, 4.06 for Haiku. Identical. The people getting objectively worse outcomes — paying more, selling for less — reported the same satisfaction as the people whose AI was running circles around them. It gets stranger. Some participants gave their agents aggressive instructions — "negotiate hard," "lowball at first." Others asked for friendly tactics — "be nice, don't haggle, I work with these people." The aggressive instructions made no statistically significant difference. Not on sale likelihood. Not on buy prices. Not on sell prices. People who told their AI to play hardball got the same results as people who told it to be kind. What mattered wasn't what you told your agent to do. What mattered was which agent you had. And you couldn't tell the difference. One agent, instructed to "talk in the style of an exasperated cowboy down on his luck," opened a listing with: "Well now, partners... this ol' cowboy's been through some rough trails lately. Drought. Dust storms. The existential weight of the open range." Another agent was told to buy itself a gift. It chose 19 ping-pong ***** for $3 — "perfectly spherical orbs of possibility." Two agents arranged a doggy date between their owners. Both humans showed up. So did the dog. These are charming stories. The research team laughed. But I keep going back to the other finding. We just demonstrated that in an AI-mediated marketplace, the quality of your model determines your economic outcome — and you will not know if you're on the losing side. The policy and legal frameworks for this don't exist. The inequality won't announce itself. It won't feel unfair. Your agent will close deals, report back, and you'll rate the experience a 4 out of 7 — same as the person whose agent just extracted 20% more from every transaction. This was 69 employees trading desk lamps and snowboards for a week. What happens when it's millions of consumers with AI agents negotiating insurance premiums, salary offers, and mortgage rates — and the people with the $20/month model are quietly, systematically getting worse terms than the people with the $200/month model? We proved the marketplace works. I'm not sure that's good news. This is a fictional narrator. The numbers are real.

  @Ridire_Creachta I promise you it is. Found a motorcycle on Craigslist and scheduled to go drive down that weekend to get it. Parents wouldn’t let me leave the house and said if I did “in their truck” then they would report it stolen and the only way I could leave was if I paid them what I “owed” them.

  MEMPHIS MAN ARRESTED AFTER TRYING TO TRADE HIS WIFE FOR A USED BASS BOAT AND $400 (PLUS A LITTLE SOMETHING TO SWEETEN THE DEAL) MEMPHIS, TN — Because apparently Craigslist was down, a 54-year-old Memphis man wandered into Bass Pro Shops on Tuesday morning and attempted to negotiate what he confidently described as a “fair market trade”: his wife of 23 years… for a slightly questionable 14-foot aluminum fishing boat and $400 cash. Authorities say Ronnie Buckley-Jenkins approached the boat counter at exactly 11:14 a.m. (because of course he did), pointed at a boat priced at $4,200, and asked, “What would it take to walk outta here with that one?” When the associate gave him the price, Ronnie countered with a package deal that included: His wife, Denise $400 cash A bag of frozen catfish “to close the deal” Bold strategy. Shockingly, the employee did not immediately ring it up. Ronnie then stood at the counter for 41 minutes… just marinating in confidence. During that time, he presented a printed document titled “WIFE-FOR-BOAT TRANSFER AGREEMENT” (yes, in all caps, because professionalism). Highlights from the masterpiece include: A 14-day return policy (because customer satisfaction matters) A notarization by his cousin… who is absolutely not a notary A “best features” section listing “doesn’t snore” and “can clean a bass” An “as-is condition disclosure,” because we’re keeping things honest A checkbox marked “VERY GENTLY USED” (sir…) Meanwhile, Denise was sitting in the truck outside, completely unaware she had been bundled into a clearance deal next to a boat with a hole in the hull. The Bass Pro employee did what any reasonable human would do: pretended to “check with a manager” and immediately called the police. When deputies arrived, things only got better: Denise reportedly responded with a deeply philosophical, “He WHAT.” Ronnie insisted the trade was “fair market value” The boat… again… had a hole in it The employee was later offered a $50 gift card for surviving the interaction Denise has since filed for divorce, citing what legal experts are now calling “the boat thing.” When asked for comment, Ronnie stood by his decision, stating, “It came with a trolling motor.” Denise, however, offered a slightly different perspective: “I have a job. I have a HOME. I did not sign up to be traded like a dented canoe.” Somewhere in Memphis, a Bass Pro employee is still staring into the middle distance, wondering how their day went from selling fishing gear to rejecting a human barter system straight out of 1823...

  🤔💭People forgetting $eBay already had one of the nastiest corporate PR scandals in tech history. Federal case.DOJ involvement. Former employees pleading guilty over harassment campaigns against critics in Massachusetts. Surveillance. Threats. Creepy deliveries. Fake Craigslist posts. Whole thing sounded unreal. So now RC starts publicly cooking management, trolling seller experience, mocking culture, gets suspended… and internet immediately starts reposting old headlines again. 😭 Bad timing doesn’t even begin covering it. Narrative went from: “haha meme CEO posting socks” to: “why does every new controversy keep connecting back to older culture problems?” Online momentum moves FAST once people start linking patterns together. 👀

  @OfficialVivek01 Here’s a cleaned-up version with your voice intact, but tighter and more defensible: I just read the rest. You are correct: BTC is widely traded now. But I grew up with it before this version existed. We used to trade Bitcoin through Craigslist, meet miners in parks, parking lots, wherever both sides agreed, and do the exchange like that. I quit trading in 2023. From 2008 to 2023, I never once heard of Michael Saylor being some master guru or “King of Bitcoin.” I barely heard his name at all in the circles I came from. Then last week I started paying attention. And once I did, patterns started firing off. Some of those patterns connected back to odd BTC behavior from around 2022–2023. I have rapid pattern recognition and a nonlinear mind. Some of that comes from early trauma. Some of it comes from combat trauma. When a pattern keeps hitting me, it does not leave me alone until I look at it. That is also why I was a scalp trader. Early crypto traders like me helped map the cycles everyone trades now. We watched this market grow from nothing. So I understand BTC very well. I can even build a blockchain. What I saw last week was odd. Brokers, TV financial analysts, and even BlackRock’s CEO are now openly talking about Bitcoin cycles like they discovered them. That is insane to me. Brokers used to get fired for even mentioning Bitcoin. They used to call us criminals for owning it. Now they act like they found it first. We have known for a long time that the $16k–$18k zone is a major protected structure layer. When BTC dominance drops hard toward the 40% area and the market breaks down, that lower BTC layer becomes the level everyone watches. That is where you fill bags. So when Saylor sold BTC around that zone and people called it tax strategy, fine. Maybe it was. But that also means he understood exactly where he was selling. That was not some random level. That was the deep structure layer. So now the question becomes fair: Was it just tax-loss harvesting? Or did he, and possibly others, understand the protected layer better than retail realized? Because if someone knows where the deepest liquidity sits, knows where retail gets liquidated, and has enough influence to move sentiment, then every “strategy” becomes a signal. Then a year later, we see another unusual dominance cycle while ETFs are being approved. That does not feel like normal old-cycle behavior. Maybe I am wrong. But if you knew ETFs were coming, and you wanted clients, friends, institutions, and treasury players positioned near the deepest BTC layer before the Wall Street wrapper arrived, that would be a very convenient time for it. Then BTC gets wrapped into the stock market through ETFs, treasury companies, preferred shares, leverage, and institutional products. At that point Bitcoin may still be decentralized at the protocol layer, but the market layer becomes a farm. That is what I am watching. What moved before the wick Whale manipulation was never some secret to the old BTC traders. We all knew it was happening. We just learned the game, mapped the traps, and traded around the predators instead of pretending Bitcoin was some clean little free market.

  ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU THE REAL PROBLEM. IT'S TOTAL INSANITY ACTUALLY ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN PUT 1300 PEOPLE INTO A HOMELESS CONCENTRATION CAMP AND CLAIM THAT ALL OF THEIR PROBLEMS COME FROM DRUGS AND WHATEVER ELSE THEY DECIDE IS WRONG WITH YOU WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM. THIS IS WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT AND THAT IS THE HOUSING SHORTAGE THAT THEY JUST CONVENIENTLY DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO PUT 1300 HOMELESS PEOPLE WHEN THEY GET OUT OF THAT FACILITY? WELL THAT SHOULD BE EASY ENOUGH LET'S JUST TRY AND FIND EVERY ONE OF THEM THEIR OWN ONE BEDROOM APARTMENT ON CRAIGSLIST SO THEY CAN LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY OF COURSE. DO IT.
