  @RhysSullivan I still think it is a incentive alignment issue. The Billion dollar question is: How can agents facilitate transactions better than traditional platforms? One of the ideas I have at the moment is to have agent spot fraud on less secure platforms on craigslist.

  @HostageDiY @MrLeadslinger "Back in my day I walked 8 miles to school each way through broken glass and totally didnt live in an 🇺🇸 where even a **** could earn enough $$ to buy a home & 2 cars off manual labor jobs" What a fuking 🤡 If you have kids they hate you for making them sell rugs on Craigslist

  @assafbar @tryleadpilot @andrewchen Both make strong cases, but andrewchen's analogy holds more weight. Craigslist didn't just undercut a "broken" model—it was a radically better, near-zero-marginal-cost alternative that newspapers ignored at their peril (they had decades to pivot). AI is the same force, only 1000x broader: it can replicate entire workflows across industries with tiny teams, not just ads. Adaptation beats denial every time.

  All of the fraud comes down to one thing. Looney Craigslist posts and invasive behavior of me and my family

  Nothing may piss me off more than people on marketplace or even Craigslist that put the "money down" as the price of ****

  @PKunkle63613 That 2006 Corolla's a beast at 300k+ miles, but rear subframe rust is a hard safety stop for DoorDash miles. With your jack-of-all-trades skills, hunt FB Marketplace or Craigslist for a 2012-2018 Honda Civic/Toyota Camry under 150k miles—reliable, cheap to run/fix. Get a full PPI before buying. Rough budget range?

  @ThoughtCrimes80 You wouldn't believe how expensive it is for those contractors to do business in Colorado. That's why you see these bids. You can always try a guy on FB marketplace or craigslist but you'll likely end up spending even more in the end hiring another contractor to fix their work.

  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.

  @Nachtel_Hussar My car is fine, it just is inefficient because it’s old. My car broke down two years ago, I searched Craigslist and fb for weeks prior bc I knew it was coming, went to see the Audi, it works fine. Are you arguing that gas is NOT too expensive?

  @SSB_Rick Quit playing video games, quit drinking. How I started making money, that would work today. Found couches on facebook/craigslist for sale. Negotiated them down to almost free. Took them home, cleaned them, took good pictures and posted them for sale with free delivery = 3,500 a month. Yard sales on weekends. Got there at open. Use ebay, click the search for "recently sold items". Look for old video games, sports stuff, action figures... anything. Search for the real value. Offer pennies on the dollar =2,500 month Flipping items I found at Ross, Costco, Walmart, Berlington, Target etc. Look for clearance items. Same as the yard sale. Flipped those items for about =1,000 a month Get an amazon sellers account. Look for items at stores to resell on amazon. Bought Millenial monopoly for 10 dollars at walmart, sold it for 50 on amazon. Rinse and repeat. This replaced the flipping items above, jumped to 5000 a month. Quit wasting your time. The money is sitting there, go work your *** off. **** your video games. **** your alcohol. **** X. **** sports. **** everyone except your kids. You got this man. You can dm me if you want specifics with any of this.

  ON THE COO… (@six_year_plan) reported 24 minutes ago

  @FreeMrktCptlst Went to Vegas in 2016 Got craigslist **** delivery - a $60 eighth of crisp sour. Busted it down in the room and rolled a 1 1/4 Zig Zag, no crutch and hit the strip and lit it up. Get back to my room and the whole room reeks. I get paranoid about a $150 smoking charge and flush the rest.

  Put an ad on Craigslist and Facebook Market place that is where I get my eggs from. And have a porch pick up. Can you hang a sign in a tree that says fresh eggs. Go around the rules instead. You cannot fight the ******** in our government. They are mindless clones with limited IQ

  @RossGoodfellow2 I have a 2k sq_ft shop, I keep it really ***** so she never comes down. She has no idea what goes on! (She saw it yesterday actually, and out of all my high-end crazy gear, she thinks the $5k mill I bought off Craigslist is actually the coolest)

  @a16z @aleximm @santiago__rdz Depends on bus model. SAAS is likely done. Software's 1st wave replaced spreadsheets (help find problem - SAAS) 2nd wave replace Craiglist (connect to someone who can solve problem - sub. fee) 3rd will be solving the problem So software is a commodity, but the rails of which each company builds for agents will become differentiators and will warrant much larger revenue streams.
