  Ai Genesis (@AiGenesisdotfun) reported 1 minute ago

  Thesis: Marketplaces are the last unbundled monopoly on the internet. Shopify unbundled the store so anyone can run one. Stripe unbundled payments. YouTube unbundled media. But the marketplace itself? The aggregator layer where fees live? That still belongs to a handful of giants, because running one required solving four expensive problems at once: 1. Listing labor. Every item needs a title, specs, condition, price. eBay outsources that work to sellers…it’s why garages stay full. With AiG a photo is a listing: vision Ai drafts all of it in seconds. The supply side unlocks when listing costs nothing. 2. Niche structure. eBay gives every category the same generic form; that’s why collectors fled to Discord and StockX. Here each marketplace generates its own schema like a synth market knows “voices” and “MIDI,” a comic market knows “grade” and “press.” Vertical-grade data, horizontal-scale infrastructure. 3. Distribution. Incumbents charge sellers extra for visibility (promoted listings). With AiG it’s inverted: anyone who shares a listing earns 3% of the sale carved from the platform’s cut, not the seller’s. Marketing is a revenue share, not an ad spend. 4. The fee layer itself. This is the real unbundling. Describe a niche in one sentence and you own the marketplace with your fee (0–8%) on every sale, forever. Sellers keep up to 92%. On the incumbents, sellers pay ~13–15% and own nothing. Payments? Cards work. $USDC on @Solana works too and no buyer account necessary either way. Rails are table stakes; ownership is the product. Shopify made everyone a merchant. Aigenesis makes anyone an @eBay. Ai for Everyone. 🧬

  @BlackJack_calls My friend was in queue for 6 hours. And then it loads an error page. It's such BS. I found one on eBay and got it for him, it's a huge markup but he deserves it.

  @CardPurchaser first time eBay seller question. Does eBay not automatically give buyers tracking information? I got a request for a refund for a non delivery but when I looked it up it was clearly a USPS side issue. Was this guy scamming me or did I not provide the information?

  @thebodge1 I'd probably consider eBay tbh, things still sell reasonably well on there when there's a domestic market and you don't get the chancers like you do with marketplace or vinted. We've sold quite a few figurines on there over the past couple of years with virtually no issues

  @FieldNas Ebay thinkpads are about 150-200 bucks with 16GB ram. just needs a 2tb ssd. and maybe could be had cheaper if they have broken screen ones. Laptop is a good option because they have a battery built in, they are compact and can be mounted to a wall or underside of a table.

  For two years I’ve been suffering in silence. I’ve been searching for these Thai wafer cookies & all of my efforts have been fruitless. Most websites only led to dead ends or empty promises. I even tried to order them directly from the manufacturer in Thailand and they told me to get bent. At least I think they told me get to get bent, they were speaking Thai. Unless you’ve eaten these cookies you could never possibly understand what I’ve been going through. After two years of them haunting my dreams, at last the search is over. They popped up on eBay. I’m going to do terrible things to them…

  A HOMELAB BUILDER JUST PAIRED AN AMD EPYC 77 CHIP WITH 512GB OF DDR5 AND LLAMA.CPP TO RUN DEEPSEEK V3 ENTIRELY FROM RAM WITHOUT A SINGLE GPU 00:03 "my very own AI super computer, not exactly, but it should be quite capable. the goal is to run large LLMs entirely from RAM with a decent context window" the stack is minimalist. one AMD EPYC 77 series processor, 8 memory channels, 512GB of DDR5 ECC, llama.cpp compiled for CPU inference. no GPU. no CUDA. no waiting for a used 3090 to appear on eBay running DeepSeek V3 and Llama 4 from system memory means inference happens at CPU speeds, slower per token but unlocks model sizes that would need a $40,000 8xH100 server to fit on GPU. 405B parameters loaded straight into RAM the article ranks local AI compute from $180 Tesla P40 up to $4,199 Mac Studio. this build sits in a different lane entirely. not GPU acceleration, but raw memory capacity. RAM is the new frontier for anything above 200B parameters most people wait out the GPU shortage. he built an inference machine that never needed a GPU in the first place save this before every homelab realizes their server chassis was already an LLM machine waiting for enough RAM ↓

  I think it's quite obvious what the near future of consumer AI looks like, and I think that future became obvious with the releases last week from @OpenAI. Last week we received GPT 5.6 models, and GPT Live. Both represented big qualitative shifts in capability. For me, working with GPT 5.6 is night-and-day compared with 5.5. Where 5.5 was very capable, but pedantic, myopic, and more represented a faustian bargain (you get what you asked for, but you get what you asked for), 5.6 seems to infer intent and provide useful normative guidance more. Today, for example, I noticed my sneakers were wearing out. I started a new codex task just saying "Can you reorder my adidas sneakers again". I bought these in 2024, so it it read my daily notes I keep, looked through my email for receipts of purchases, found the model and size, noted it was out of stock, looked on ebay for matches, weighted a few options by vendor reputation, filled out the details of my address etc. and came back to me when it was ready for review and to initiate the transaction. In terms of my professional work, it's profoundly helpful. My mornings are now spent with printed memos that it's prepared, where I review status, diagrams, methodological decisions. My afternoons are spent revising, validating, reviewing this work. And the evenings are spent setting up the next batch of work to run. In terms of GPT Live, the past few days, I've gone for walks and instead of listening to 90 minutes of podcasts, I might listen to 30, and speak with GPT live for 60 minutes. I often have it on ambiently in the background while I work, in case I want to query it, which is a direct replacement for opening chatgpt and asking it, which itself was a direct replacement for Google, which I haven't been on directly in quite some time. For me, the shape that work takes in the following few months feels like this: some device you already own can be your "always on" GPT live system. This is embedded in codex, and knows what sessions/tasks are going on. You don't need to interface with a computer as much because you can talk through your airpods. The previous example of re-ordering my sneakers is just a voice command "oh hey can you reorder my sneakers", and the response (when its ready for you to pay) is some form of notification. I can't sense whether it's better for an audio notification from GPT Live itself, or some nearby device (e.g. a push notification on the phone, or a phone call for example with GPT-Live routed to it). For professional work, this can of course still require computers, but for many professionals, the shape of that computer does not need to be the same. I think a lot of the interesting demos around e-ink "Tom Riddle's" diary may be a desirable form factor. Instead of me - for example - receiving printed memos (through some $print skill via a /goal), I would instead have some kind of performant e-ink tablet that is essentially a thin codex client, that can translate things I write or speak at it, into updated versions of work). However, that thinking may be too narrow and is probably omitting other senses too much, as well as slowing down human-computer interactions too much as well. The next form factor after that is glasses, because the next endstate for something like GPT-Live is making it really good at just picking up audio AND video. Then, you have two products: you have glasses which can ambiently monitor sound and video, and you have small nice looking mic/video setups in rooms. In this way, the shape of work returns to some post-MadMen style workplace: nice interiors, a couple of whiteboards, with little cameras and videos capturing content, inferring it, and producing the stuff that people used to do. Of course, audio may be too slow in that world, and so we then would need to think about BCI and basically wiring Codex up to thoughts. It's my understanding that a few labs are working on this, and I would imagine the form-factor would be either glasses or an airpods like apparatus eventually (not a cowboy hat ala @tbpn). Ignoring the potential profound psychological impacts of being able to communicate thoughts immediately to a computer which can then respond at 750 tokens/second via cerebras), this certainly makes for a better shape of work than what has been the case for the past decade or two (eyes fixed to screen, talking is a way for humans to know what to do next on screen). I think those forms maybe became more obvious to me last week given 5.6 capacity to just chip away competently, seemingly without fail, and gpt-live's ease of use, and new breadth of capability. This of course, assumes a world where humans still have some useful position, and that is not a given!

  @ClimateAudit I doubt it as well, but if you're gonna tilt at that windmill, it seems to me the number of windmills left to tilt with marches on to the horizon. :) Seriously, most meme coins are just a little slimy, but again, I don't think the government should ride in and save the day. There might be actual utility there, but it needs to be discovered, and clamping down before that discovery mechanism has time to work seems like the wrong answer. The same argument could be made against OTC trading of penny stocks. Would you want to make that illegal as well? And what about Meme stocks? GME was all but left for dead until the WallStreetBets crowd poured money into the market for it. One of those guys is now the CEO, and not only has he gotten the company's financials under control, but he's also actively looking at acquiring eBay. Cutting off something that sounds questionable before it has time to come to fruition can lead to serious negative consequences, and I personally don't think we have finished playing out the bitcoin/altcoin drama yet. YMMV

  @norzemen @KimKatieUSA He did more than lie. I will take any law enforcement we can get these days. Im right there with ya man. Shits getting old when blatant laws being broke and we see zero mug shots. Absolutely pisses me off. I get in trouble if I dont pay taxes on my $601 eBay sales. I wish I knew whats going on but I have my suspicions. I think its all blackmail in the end. Maybe threats to family. Bribes.. all of the above. So like I mentioned,I will take what I can get. 🤙

  a $43.5M app raised money on Phoebe Gates' name and a cap table full of celebrities. then Bloomberg found it opening hidden tabs at checkout, injecting affiliate codes, claiming commissions it never earned Phia called it a bug. the code said otherwise feature flag: live on iOS where users won't see it, off on Chrome desktop where they would. that's not a bug you patch, that's a design choice you make once you already know what gets caught last-click attribution runs a $13B market. whoever clicks last before payment gets paid, whether they earned it or not. a browser extension sits in the perfect spot to fake that last click on nearly every purchase cookie stuffing used to send people to prison. Shawn Hogan did 5 months for it at eBay. Brian Dunning got 15 months. max sentence runs 20 years under federal wire fraud law eBay jailed a man for this exact scheme. now it just funds it through eBay Ventures on Phia's cap table Honey did the same thing bigger. PayPal owned it, worth $4B, until MegaLag's video showed how it stiffed creators. Chrome lost 6-8 million users. Google banned the practice in March 2025 it hasn't slowed down i build and ship daily. Claude Code, Codex, whatever ships fastest. SaaS, tools, automations. ⭐ if AI can build it, i've probably broken it first. what works → link in bio

  @alanwatts21 @ryancohen I won’t be surprised if we find out that these fraud heavy accounts are pulling in money for the USAID/NGO vacuum that DOGE created. The issue with USPS tracking numbers being fed to the fraudsters to provide a faux proxy delivery within a zip code where the eBay buyer resides is very suspicious. The USPS refuses to give info of point of delivery that proves the delivery was made to a location NOT the buyer’s eBay registered address makes me think USPS is party to the scam.

  @Jeffdeehan Having firsthand experience with situations like this, I can tell you that, generally speaking, most of this equipment is worthless. I would strongly suggest grabbing someone with solid kitchen experience to walk through the space with you. Have them pull any proprietary or potentially valuable components—control boards, circuit boards, specific switches, or the occasional useful part. That said, the most important thing to know is that the vast majority of it is junk. You’ll likely be able to reduce everything down to just a few boxes of keepers. Sell those on eBay (or similar), make a few bucks, and take your team out for lunch. Then call your local recycler to haul away the rest. Trust me—your desire to squeeze out a few extra dollars isn’t worth the pain of trying to market, store, or move this stuff. The secondary market for used restaurant equipment is extremely limited.
