Traumatized Ghoul (@GhoulStuffs) reportedAs a man and adult failure, I currently have: 1. Expired passport 2. Expired driver's license 3. A 0 balance bank account (not maintaining minimum quota, i give my mom money) 4. A smartphone (with screen that glitches/buttdials by accident), and a laptop with battery and BIOS issues (slightly). 5. No baby, still virgin. But I goon online a bit to make up for it. 6. One boss, she is my source of stable income. WFH self-employed/freelance-ish word-of-mouth work arrangement. These are my stats in 2026, plus I just started taking SEO/AEO/AIO and GEO classes a month ago to level up and upskill. What have I achieved so far? Got 800k impressions in 48 hours on Reddit in 2024 when my dad went missing and recovered him in 5 days thanks to r/India. Got hacked on Instagram once by a German who got jealous of me having 80 followers and he spammed Mr. Beast reels on my feed (thus, my IG getting flagged and connected accounts all deleted). Grew a gooning page to 5k followers on insta before that and got taken down. Got perma banned on both Instagram and Reddit (+VPN blocked by network security and device fingerprinted) after that. Dropped out of school after 10th grade and landed a job. Used it to support my ailing parents for years (they couldn't work when I was a kid, health issues) until I started working for my boss. Also ran a YouTube gaming channel from 6th to 8th grade (HDUltimateGamingHD) which is now dead since I lost access and forgot both email and password. Got published on a magazine called "Anime Reign" by World Anime Club also in my highschool and won Bishop Cotton Boys' School Synchronize event too in 2012.

Chantal’s Abandoned Scooter 🛵 (@BeysPinkyFinger) reportedI feel like it's becoming more and more obvious that Remmy is a submissive. Rosie found a 20 something year old college kid with a lot of issues (see his Reddit post history) with two kinks that very often overlap, fat fetishism and submission. Her giggly demeanor in this clip is

Om Patel (@om_patel5) reportedTHIS IS THE EXACT WORKFLOW I USED TO GROW 3 STARTUPS FROM $0 TO 5 FIGURES IN 2 MONTHS USING ONLY REDDIT, AT $0 CUSTOMER ACQUISITION COST everyone is fighting over the same saturated channels. burning cash on ads that hand you a $300 to $400 cac with zero trust, blasting cold emails into the spam folder at a 1% reply rate, or shouting into the void building in public. high effort, low intent, and none of it compounds meanwhile the single highest intent channel on the internet is sitting untapped. reddit. people are literally posting "looking for a tool that does X" every single day, pre-qualified buyers raising their hand, and almost nobody is capturing them heres the full workflow the guide walks through, with flow diagrams and video for every step: 1\ find the buyers already asking > pick 4-5 subreddits where your buyers actually hang out > write a 2 line description, who its for and what pain it solves, not features > pull leads scored by buying intent using the tool in the video, then automate the dms or comments to the high intent ones > warm outreach to people who already asked = 30-50% replies 2\ gseo, rank on google and every ai through reddit > generate the keyword list people actually search to find a tool like yours > create reddit content matching the format of what already ranks in that sub > post it, give full value, no link. after 24 hours drop your link in so it rides the ranking > reddit is almost always the #1 google result for buying searches, so now thats you then it compounds. google ranks your thread, chatgpt, claude, perplexity and gemini all scrape reddit and start recommending your product in their answers. one post feeds you buyers everywhere, for months. the full guide breaks down every step with video, the leads, the content, and the tool that automates the whole thing

David Shapiro (L/0) (@DaveShapi) reportedThe more I work with real CEOs and business leaders and tech leaders the more absolutely bonkers the AGI and RSI conversations look. I need to qualify that I am not saying "AGI isn't happening" or that "RSI won't change things" but what I mean is that even people who work with AI every day and see where things are going... none of them are worried about a machine god. Even the people who follow Anthropic and are aware of Doomer arguments... the vast majority of people in the real world just do not give two hoots about X-risk or even AI "changing the nature of humanity." Even though most of them accept that technology, in the long run, might make humanity unrecognizable from how it is today (I mean, try explaining elections to a cave man) most humans just roll their eyes as the notion of AI taking over or anything like that. This is helping me right-size the Anthropic vs OpenAI debates in my head. The rest of the world just does not care. Most people, even those who are forward thinking, realize that it's just another technology. I was ranting at my wife about all this (bless her) about how Steve Jobs didn't fundamentally alter humanity. He really just invented the iPhone. I mean, if you leave the tech bubble, what did Apple really and truly do? It prioritized UX and gizmo ecosystems. Did it fundamentally alter humanity? No, not really. Sure, the iPhone became a decent platform for content creators, but it did not invent content creation. For anyone who's followed me for a while, you've seen me become more and more cynical and dismissive about the self-important tech leaders who, according to themselves, are about to radically reshape humanity overnight. And yeah, I'm still gung-ho on Post-Labor Economics, but in order to get to PLE, that means we actually need to automate all the jobs, and as I work with more executives on the frontier, this problem is a lot harder than just having smarter AI. And, mentally right-sizing the importance of people like Sam Altman and Dario Amodei and even Demis (who is less noisy, more humble, and just getting stuff done) is helpful, and it really makes all the Doomer/Accelerationist/Successionist debates feel like... I dunno. Background noise? It's like an alternative history speculative fiction podcast. They're all just playing with their little shared fantasies and most of them are just LARPing and I've had friends in academia and industry tell me "the real work is being done X" (in universities, in governments, in industries other than Silicon Valley) and I am really beginning to see and feel that personally. And it's a really great breath of fresh air, to be honest. Because the AI commentary and creator space is just saturated by too much noise. There's a veritable gold rush right now and people are staking their claims with cults of personality and other things, like selling meaningless courses with big promises and in working with my business partners and clients we are realizing that the world is truly underserved with high signal sources of "what is actually being done with AI, by real people, in real companies." And sure you can see some of the stories on places like Reddit, but I've started building up a private network of folks who are really doing that highly transformative stuff (like replacing an entire team with agents, erasing years of technical debt) and it's just really wild what is possible right now. Sure, almost every day some dork goes viral here on X for giving ChatGPT or Claude root access to **** and whining when something inevitably goes wrong but even that, which feels like "high signal" is actually "pure noise." All that is to say that I'm working on pivoting my public work and brand to really focus on delivering real value and sharing the insights from the front lines and trenches of building a fully automated economy. I'm of course still working on my books in the background, but my day to day stuff is focusing more and more on helping enterprises get the most out of AI, and it's been really rewarding. None of this is news about the world at large, just where I am personally. When I started my YouTube channel it was mostly GPT-3 prompting and coding tutorials, to generate value, and then I focused on the more abstract and high level commentary for a couple years, and I've really really been missing getting my hands ***** and solving real, immediate problems. My book, Labor Zero (Post-Labor Economics) is still coming (albeit slowly, it is a very large book, presently being fact checked, cited, and indexed) and while I do feel like that book is huge and important, it is equally as important to lay the piping and wiring of the fully automated economy, and I can apply my brainpower to that problem as well, in the meantime paying the bills with that service. /Ramble.

Javon (@JRTheWavyOne) reported@GameSpot When I was playing OG God of War, if you told me that a new God of War game coming in ~2027 would have a talking Reddit cube there's no chance I would have believed you. If Laufey was called Forspoken 2 it would sell 30 copies and the dev would shut down a month after release.

Abigail Lakewood (@Miss_Lakewood) reported“Every other self-published doorstop on Amazon has one: Princess Elowen Stormblade, or whatever edgelord name the author thought sounded badass after three energy drinks and a Reddit thread titled “How to Write a Waifu Who Isn’t a Waifu.” She’s introduced strategically, oh yes. The hero’s just lost his mentor/girlfriend/horse, and boom—there she is, dual-wielding plot armor and daddy issues. She tells him the only way to save the world is to steal the Crystal of Whatever from the Dark Lord sitting in his generically ominous tower.” — The Warrior Princess: a rant I decided to join forces with author Richard Pembroke and bring back some zest to this used and abused archetype. Abigail Corven is the type of Warrior Princess (aka Strong Female Character) we rarely see anymore. One who can be wrong, grow at her own pace, have hobbies outside of just 'being strong', willing to sacrifice what the hero is not willing to lose.

Sujay. (@Sujay__Raj) reportedTCS PRIME On Campus Interview Experience Just got done with TCS Prime interview. It lasted around 20-30 minutes with two technical interviewers and one HR. Introduction They first asked me to introduce myself. I gave my introduction, talked about my background, projects, internship, and interest in backend development. 2. SQL They asked if I knew SQL. I replied: “Yes, but only the basics.” Then they asked me to write a query to find employees whose names contain the letter ‘A’. I wrote it incorrectly because I used the HAVING clause instead of WHERE. They told me it wasn’t correct, and after I asked for help, they hinted that HAVING shouldn’t be used. Then they gave me another SQL query, which I wrote correctly. 3. Projects They asked me to explain my projects. I explained They asked follow-up questions about the technologies used. 4. Internship They asked about my internship: * What did I do day-to-day? * What problem was I working on? Then they asked technical questions on: * RAG * Retrieval * Reranking I explained all of those successfully. 5. Backend Questions They asked: * Authentication vs Authorization I explained the difference completely. They asked: * What is a JWT? I explained: * What it is * Why it is used * That passwords are not stored inside the token because it can be decoded. Then they kept asking follow-up questions like: * Will the JWT disappear if you close the browser? * What if you close the laptop? * What if you restart the laptop? I initially answered that it would not disappear. After repeatedly questioning me, I got a bit confused and finally said I wasn’t completely sure. The interviewer then clarified that it would still remain. I also mentioned that if browser storage/cache is cleared (or the stored token is removed), then it would no longer be available. 6. Redis They asked: * What is Redis TTL? I explained TTL correctly. 7. Operating Systems They asked: * What did you study in Operating Systems? I mentioned the basic topics. Then they asked: * Explain the thread lifecycle. I honestly said I wasn’t sure. The interviewer said: “You should know this. It’s basic.” 8. MCP Since I had RAG on my resume, they asked: * Do you know what MCP is? I answered honestly that I didn’t know. 9. DSA They asked whether I knew DSA. I replied: “I’m comfortable with arrays and strings. I know the concepts of other topics, but I’m not yet comfortable solving interview-level questions on them.” 10. HR Questions The HR asked: * Do you have any plans for higher education? I answered: “No. I want to work first, apply my skills in industry, and continue learning by building projects.” They also asked: * Have you attended any other interviews? I replied: “No.” They asked why. I answered: “I didn’t make it to the final interview rounds in the previous opportunities.” They also asked: * Are you comfortable working anywhere in India and at any location? I answered: “Yes.” 11. Questions from Me At the end, they asked if I had any questions. I asked: * What does the training process look like? They said there would be around 2–3 months of training on the assigned technology stack. I then asked whether it would be online or offline. They said it would be completely office-based. I thanked them and left. Originally shared by an anonymous user on Reddit.

0xMarioNawfal (@RoundtableSpace) reportedThis guide explains how to get hundreds of customers per month off Reddit, completely automated, and it runs on one fact. When someone types a buying question into Google, the top result is almost always a Reddit thread. Every AI is trained on Reddit and quotes those same threads back when people ask what to buy. The system has two tracks: → Find people who publicly posted their exact problem and DM them directly. Reddit DMs to people who already asked get 30 to 50% reply rates versus under 1% cold outreach anywhere else → Post full value answers to buying keywords on Reddit, let them climb on upvotes, then edit your link in after 24 hours so it rides the ranking for years One post ranks on Google and gets cited by ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity simultaneously. Reddit gets 1.7 billion visits a month. Google pays $60 million a year to rank it first.

Al Maulini, CFP®, CPM®, CEPA® (@AlMauliniPWMCG) reportedThe AM Brief, Thursday July 16, 2026 Part 2 Good morning, It’s 8am in Miami and here is a recap of events that caught my eye. Part 2 TSMC’s June 2026 consolidated revenue surged 67.9% YoY to NT$442.68 billion ($13.8 billion). Driven by continued AI infrastructure investment, this massive growth reinforces strong momentum ahead of its July 16 earnings report. The revenue surge coincides with TSMC beginning high volume production of its next generation 2-nanometer (N2) process technology, alongside a recent $20 billion capital injection into its Arizona subsidiary to expand US chip manufacturing facilities. Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis proposed establishing a FINRA style U.S. standards body to vet advanced, frontier AI models 30 days prior to their public release. The independent, industry funded group would screen models for deception, bioweapon assistance, and cyberattack risks. Warning that open source models could develop highly dangerous capabilities within 18 months, Hassabis wants the voluntary framework operational by the end of this year. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is a self regulatory organization that polices Wall Street under federal oversight. Hassabis envisions this AI equivalent having the power to "pull the handbrake" by coordinating an industry wide development slowdown among frontier labs if existential risks escalate. COO Jen Wong positions "people talking to people" as Reddit's radical competitive advantage in an increasingly AI-automated world. With 126.8 million daily active users (DAUs), the platform is doubling down on human authenticity to attract a wider audience. The strategy frames Reddit’s community driven conversations as the ultimate "trust check" for AI-generated search results, positioning its messy, human verified data as a high-value anchor against generic AI content. Announced at Cannes Lions 2026, Reddit is leveraging "Community Intelligence", an engine powered by over 25 billion posts to help advertisers convert these human verified conversations into shopping and advertising solutions. Research cited by the company indicates that nearly half of shoppers verify AI-generated product recommendations on Reddit, establishing the platform as a critical waypoint in the modern consumer decision journey.

Kris (@kristsankov) reportedif you're struggling to come up with YouTube video ideas it's because of one thing you don't know your ICP deeply enough if you actually understood the problems he's feeling right now his pains, fears, desires and motivators you would come up with ideas on the spot because you would already know what he's going through and how to solve it in a quick video but since you don't know him deeply enough you can't make the right videos for the right person this is why we always run a deep ICP research process for our clients forums, reddit threads, twitter, private groups, sales calls we study how they speak, how they think, how they express themselves so every video feels like it was made for one person and when they watch it they must say to themselves: "okay this guy is speaking directly to me, he knows me perfectly" that's how you create leads that want to buy from you and when they hop on a call they have zero objections because they already have conviction in everything you said in the video there is no fear, no hesitation, and no doubt even if it's costs $10,000

The Duke of Animal Husbandry (@DaelonSuzuka) reported@vincit_amore Fable is very good at reading. One of the things I do with new models is give them a tour of my old projects. I usually end up finding some bugs or get half an idea out of the exercise, but really I'm watching how well it can make connections. What sections are more important than they look, something that's unusual and looks broken but must be that way, etc. Fable actually got more of those deep connections but then it IMMEDIATELY wrote a seven paragraph reddit post about the underlying unifying metanarrative or something. Unbelievably tiresome. It was a net gain to have fable review and leave plans for things it found but I'd rather write the fixes myself than have to talk to this all day:

chhavi_complains (@ChhaviComplains) reportedMy @SkodaIndia car's driver side window rolls down, when I try to close it. A SkodaVW problem flagged by many on reddit & YouTube.

Kan & B (@KanKanandB) reported@shukiharow Great question, a lot of writing is done on my own, patent search’s etc are all done manually, I will utilize AI to counter my thesis argument and also to check for spelling errors etc and to structure the article before a final draft. Some things stay some things go. You can check my Reddit as well to see that everything I’m bringing up here I have been bringing up for years on Reddit, been researching the companies I invest in for a long time and spend a lot of time checking new patents etc. which is why I only invest in a handfuls of companies at a time and stay long for years upon years accumulating shares;). #NFA DYDD

The Agentic Operator (@AgenticOperator) reportedHad a client last quarter. Premium running shoe brand. Olympic endorsements. Every running magazine feature you can think of. Top 3 on Google for years. Revenue was tanking and nobody could figure out why. Spent a week digging. Found the problem in 10 minutes once I looked in the right place. Their buyers stopped comparing on Google. They were asking ChatGPT and Perplexity instead. "Best marathon shoes under $180, good arch support." The brand wasn't in a single AI answer. Not one. Their competitors with worse products and worse Google rankings were getting recommended every time. Pulled their product pages. Gorgeous site. But AI crawlers saw nothing. Zero schema. Zero structured data in the HTML. Everything loaded through JavaScript. 22,000 reviews AI couldn't read. No comparison pages because marketing refused to mention competitors. No Reddit presence at all. The product was never the problem. AI just couldn't find it. We fixed the schema. Built comparison pages that answered real buyer questions. Got their running community onto Reddit. Spread review collection across four platforms instead of one. Revenue jumped 3x in two weeks. Google rankings didn't move. Same traffic. The difference was AI was finally recommending them when buyers asked. If your SEO looks great but revenue doesn't match, this is probably why. Your buyers are deciding before they ever reach Google.

Writesonic (@WriteSonic) reportedDoes LLMs.txt help you get cited by AI engines? According to our data: not directly. It helps agents navigate your site, docs, and APIs better. But the stronger lever is trusted off-site mentions: Reddit, UGC, forums, blogs, and pages where your competitors already show up. @SamanyouGarg breaks it down in this clip.

KAT. a. Lack ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹 (@Kathe56Kat) reported@driscoll1142 @buckylynne12 @TheJFreakinC U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has faced local kidnapping investigations and public outrage following several high-profile incidents where agents detained individuals—including U.S. citizens—without warrants, only to drop them off elsewhere after realizing the error. [1, 2] Key Incents and Accusations •The Target-to-Walmart Incident: In January 2026, widespread outrage erupted after ICE agents detained a 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at a Target in Minnesota r/minnesota - Reddit. Agents later dumped the teenager miles away in a Walmart parking lot, bleeding and crying r/minnesota - Reddit. • •The ChongLy Scott Thao Case: In St. Paul, Minnesota, federal agents forced open the door of a U.S. citizen, ChongLy Scott Thao, removing him in his underwear PBS News. Local prosecutors and the Ramsey County Sheriff investigated the raid as a possible kidnapping KSTP, noting that ICE lacked a judicial warrant and that the actual suspect they claimed to seek was already in state prison CNN.

[1, 2] • ICE Official Stance The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) strongly denies these characterizations, stating that "ICE does not 'kidnap' people" KSTP. The agency maintains that its officers execute targeted operations and that standard safety protocols allow them to temporarily hold individuals present at an operation site to verify their identities CNN. [1] Policy Fallout The high frequency of mistaken identities, community pushback, and tragic incidents linked to high-stress enforcement pressure led ICE to pause most vehicle-based traffic stops NBC News.
