BLACK DUMPLING™ (@BlackDumpling) reportedTHE FUTURE OF AI EMPLOYMENT... REDDIT: On Reddit, Dave asks Reddit for the solution to a problem rando Mike has already solved in the real world through trial and error as humans have always done. Mike provides solution. AI can't trial and error solve problems in the real world the way we can, not yet anyway, so AI has to find someone else, namely rando Mike, who has solved it. Then it can offer you the same solution. If there's no rando Mike there's no finding rando solution to rando problem. And the key here is rando. Humans have an unbelievably diverse set of problems they want help with. This isn't like Drug interactions which can be documented and quantified and often are to the tune of billions of dollars. This is "Which class works best with a more passive playstyle if I'm using seamless co-op with one friend playing a dreadnought and the other playing a melee oriented stormcaller with the Elden Ring Convergence Mod?" This seems like an absurdly specific question, especially considering the fact that we're talking about specific classes added to a video game mod. Yet Grok can not only answer the question, it will give an EXCELLENT answer. And if you ask where it got its info? Well it gets the hard data that confirms the answer from any wikis it finds... but it gets the strategy from Reddit. Where real people were able to test it in real environments. You want to talk a future job? Imagine something like this. Problem bounties. Does it sound farfetched? If Grok wants to be maximally helpful it will absolutely need a resource in the real world to find out real world information if something like Reddit doesn't exist. AI is still fundamentally a compression and recombination engine of human experience, especially for anything that requires actual interaction with messy, contingent reality. AI doesn't "know" the answer. If anything it knows that someone like you asked something like this before, and someone like rando Mike answered it in a way that got upvoted. As to "problem bounties"... well, "Bug Bounties" currently exist as a thing. Why wouldn't AI create anticipatory problems that it offers a bounty for someone to solve or offer a best guess solution in the real world that can then be tested and utilized? Thus incentivizing experimental real world data. This is basically "human in the loop" scaled to the entire economy of weird problems. There's unbelievably powerful utility in this. Think a new class of high-leverage human roles: Professional problem solvers/edge-case hunters, verified experiential data contributors and people who get paid to go do weird **** in the real world specifically so AI can learn from it. Reddit, quite accidentally I suspect, created an enormous repository of extremely useful knowledge and there's value in maintaining and expanding that repository. The fact that Reddit is messy, biased, and full of shitposts doesn't negate its utility, it just means the next version needs better interfaces, better incentives, and better verification layers. So, there you go, we're all gonna work at Reddit... or more accurately it's Grok driven equivalent.

Olami Lekan (@RealOlamius) reported@spellar_ai Your branding is honestly better than a lot of projects I see. The product is likely not the problem. The thing is, the right communities haven’t gotten there yet.” “Reddit is good for that because people trust recommendations more than traditional promotion.”

Wirex (@wirexapp) reportedThe “support agent” in your DMs might be the scammer who drains your wallet. Fake customer support scams have become one of the most common threats in crypto, especially on X, Telegram, Discord, Reddit, and community forums where people ask for help publicly. Here’s why this scam works so well: You post something like: “Transaction stuck” “Wallet issue” “Can’t withdraw funds” “Need help with my account” Within minutes, someone contacts you pretending to be official support. Sometimes it is a fake verified account. Sometimes it copies the branding and profile picture of a real crypto company. Sometimes it even replies faster than the actual support team. The goal is always the same: gain your trust before you realize who you are talking to. What happens next usually follows a pattern. First, they act helpful. Then they guide you through fake troubleshooting steps. Eventually, they ask for one of these: → Your seed phrase → Wallet credentials → Remote access to your device → A wallet connection to a malicious site The moment you share any of that, your funds can disappear permanently. One important thing to remember: Real customer support is reactive, not proactive. Legitimate support teams respond through official channels after you contact them. They do not randomly DM people asking for wallet access or recovery phrases. Some major red flags: → Unsolicited support messages → Pressure to act quickly → Requests for your seed phrase “for verification” → Links sent through DMs → Accounts that look official but are slightly misspelled If you actually need help with a crypto platform, the safest approach is simple: → Go directly to the company’s official website → Use the verified support page yourself → Never trust support links sent by strangers online And most importantly, no legitimate support agent will ever ask for your seed phrase. Not for verification, not for troubleshooting, not for any reason. The fastest reply to your crypto problem is not always the safest one.

Paul L (@MrItty) reportedI'm kinda astonished I can't find a @GoLevel99 Reddit sub nor Discord server. Does it not have a fandom like @activate_games does? With it coming to Disney Springs "soon", I was hoping to find a list of rooms/challenges, but there's really just nothing out there?

Man With No Name (@ManWithNoName87) reported@grahamformaine You shouldn't be taking offense at anything with who you are as a human being. You hold multiple character issue problems and should have just stuck to being a run of the mill reddit douche bag, instead of going into the public eye

Marcel (@x_DrastiC_x) reportedHey @magnific_ai (@javilopen/@alvaro_cintas), critical bug since May 8 skipped my paid yearly 1k fast gens reset. Reddit promised a fix 15h ago, nothing happened. Checking logs takes 2 mins!. Folder downloads are also broken ('unknown files'), forcing manual clicks. Fix this ??

Cyrille (@cyrille_briere) reported@TokenBrice Definitely a killer use case. Instead of witnessing the worst anger on reddit and other forums to find a fix you just get it done and optimized by the agent. Linux should be a no brainer now that you can tweak it and fix it verbally.

Saeed Anwar (@saen_dev) reportedDiscovering demand from Reddit pain posts is a solid start, but the hard part is turning a complaint into a buyer. Most people screaming about a problem online still won't pay to fix it.

Not Needed (@nkpajares787) reported@Hookrack2019 @cobaco123 @RealPostFolder The original reddit post, the op said they told him as soon as she found out. Op pays the bills and everything. What is the problem just staying one extra week at his place? He gets it every year and this is the one time she is asking to use it.

Abangan Tech (@abangantech) reportedHour 10–24: Have 5 real conversations. DM people who signed up or commented on your Reddit post. Ask only 3 questions: 1. "Tell me about the last time this problem cost you time or money." 2. "What have you already tried to fix it?" 3. "If I built X, what would you pay for it?" Do NOT pitch. Do NOT explain your solution. Just listen. If they struggle to answer question 1 — the problem isn't painful enough. Stop.

Dmitrii Malakhov (@malakhovdm) reported@AbhishekU008 @moonfarm_dev Reddit karma: 10 days of genuine comments in your niche, not promo. IH: same. HN: Show HN works with any account age. Cold emails: 8 lines, one specific question, no calendar link. Discord: be the expert, not the promoter. None of these are broken — the entry sequence matters.

Muhammad Shaiz (@MShaiz9) reportedWe cut our outbound workload by ~70%… without sending more cold DMs. The weird part? The best leads were already posting their problems publicly. Instead of chasing people, we started replying to high-intent conversations on Reddit + X. Better replies. Higher intent. Way less friction. That shift changed our entire growth strategy.

Durandal (@Tahnit) reported@PaulTassi would you be interested in writing an article about reddit and its recent shadowban wave? lots of people are getting banned for just using a VPN at work. Its getting to be a problem and the appeals process is absolutely worthless.
