Mike Dippy (prev. yapzaddy) (@mikedippy) reported@GrapeTickler Classic H3 cult to think that every meme was cpropagated from H3. Ninja wife meme blew on Twitter and Reddit up before H3 talked about it. Insane to try and call out someone as an ex-fan while you are paying for a membership AND a website! Truly going down with the ship 🫡

Joe (@PoeticVibration) reported@CDPROJEKTRED When’s the fix coming for the 3rd person inverted option being missing on ps5 pro since the most recent update? Making it unplayable for many like myself. You can find a whole reddit thread on the issue. Seems like an easy fix no?

Vladic (@Vladic_ETH) reportedElite lets you run 55 live strategies at once. Looking at 55 cards, I can't answer a simple question: are these 55 different bets, or one big bet split 55 ways? If they all buy dips on US stocks, they drop together on a bad day. Each one looks fine on its own. Comparing their charts against each other shows what's really there. One calculation, if a model can see all 55 at once. So I wrote a spec for a Horizon connector over MCP. It's an open standard for AI models calling outside services. Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor already speak it: write the server once, it runs everywhere. Five methods, all read-only. Strategy list, their rules, backtest metrics, trade log, account curve. Zero credits per call. No creating strategies, no running backtests, no trading through the connector. Only what the user already paid credits for inside Horizon goes out. Why this serves Horizon, not only me. A chat layer over an AI ships in a weekend. An engine that counts history honestly and never peeks at the future does not. The connector sells the engine. Third-party backtest servers already sit in MCP directories. Wrappers over free data, $9 a month hosting. No data, no engine, but they're building the habit: people get used to running backtests straight from chat. Then the people who will never move into a browser tab. One landing page review mentions a contractor quoting $4,000 for a single MQL strategy. He lives in a terminal and pays for tools. The site stays the front door for beginners. The connector takes the second guy. Where I might be wrong. Main objection: why become the backend of someone else's interface. X and Reddit shut their APIs for exactly that. The difference is what you sell. They sold attention, Horizon sells credits, and every call is paid for upfront. Second: let a model turn the dials and it will fit them to the past, show a beautiful result, and earn nothing live. Fix: make testing on unseen data the default inside the connector. The whole idea is testable in a day. An "export run to JSON" button plus a small open-source server that reads the export folder. No hosting, no promises. Nobody installs it in a month, the idea is dead and cost one day. Question for anyone running backtests: would you connect this, and what would you ask your portfolio first? I want chart correlation and where the profit actually came from. Question for the @horizon_trade_x team: is there an internal REST API, or does everything run over a private protocol?

Meditation Teacher (@embodiedthinkr) reportedMeditation Teacher effect, named after me cause I'm talking about it: You might see on a place like reddit, there are communities dedicated to solving a problem. The thing is the people who solve a problem forever no longer need the thing. Like a raft that's discarded after you cross the river. So often times people who spend the most time trying to solve a problem have confused themselves with the wrong things. I've known philosophers who spend hours a day mulling over questions like "how can I prove that I have hands?" They are functionally restarted for wasting hours on something like that. And same with everything else. Those who see things most clearly find themselves confidently disagreeing with everyone about almost everything. It's the majority which is wrong.

Lexer (@LexerLux) reported@max_spero_ Lmao, I saw so many people in that Reddit thread claiming they found type I/II errors in Pangram. As someone who's never seen a single one, I was shocked. So I asked them for the text and they were never able to provide it. A substantial number of anti-Pangram people just seem to be inveterate liars.

Elliot.⁷ (@Elliot_03bts) reported@dulcetbangtan The og link didn't work for months because of a chenge in the app. The crazy NJ fans baked the broken link for attention.

Sincere (@_Sinc3r3ly) reported@amazigh_veritas If they actually wanted to support disabled people they could look into the things that actually affect us the most and bring awareness to them/donate but it’s easier to **** talk on reddit i suppose. An ounce of research would show “faking” is the least of our problems

Its my opinion (@itsmyopiniononX) reported@BravoWWHL Brittany never details anything. All she ever says is - it’s really bad, jac taps about all of you. You should see Reddit - it’s bad. It’s bad. Never a detail - stop spreading lies. And tell Andy to ask the hard hitting questions. He’s terrible.

Credit Capital (@CreditCapi) reportedReddit had a blowout quarter on paper (revenue up 61% y/y, EPS beat, Q3 guide above Street), but the stock still dumped 21% off a tiny DAU decel (53.5M to 53.2M US DAUs, ~300k users). To me, the reaction makes sense once you dig past the headline number, because it's really a terminal value story. Google's search AI is now past 1B monthly users and accelerating, and query volume keeps compounding: people are shifting toward AI-synthesized answers over Reddit's "authentic human" pitch, which the brand campaign basically ignores. Reddit is also killing the logged-in/logged-out DAU disclosure starting Q3, which is definitely a negative signal; that split was the cleanest way to tell engaged users from search drive-bys. Underneath, the US/international ARPU gap keeps widening (~$3.67 to ~$9.59 over two years), so the user growth that's showing up is disproportionately low-monetizing, while the higher-value US logged-in cohort has been flat for five quarters. DAU/WAU conversion has also been sliding, ~27% down to ~25% since Q1 2025, meaning people are using Reddit less habitually even as weeklies grow. None of this kills the AI licensing optionality, though; if Reddit fixes engagement, that segment could re-rate higher. But I'm not bullish here and am watching next print's DAU trend closely to see if the Google AI substitution effect persists. $RDDT

Nathan Hirsch (@itsnathanhirsch) reportedYour next customer might never Google you. They'll ask ChatGPT or Perplexity instead. And it already has an opinion about who's worth recommending. For a decade, SEO meant ranking on Google. Now there's a second game running right next to it. People are calling it AEO. Answer engine optimization. Someone asks AI for the best option in your category. It names a few brands. That shortlist decides who gets considered, before a single link is ever clicked. You're either in the answer, or you're invisible. So here's the uncomfortable question. When AI recommends companies like yours, does your name come up? Most founders have no idea and you can't fix what you can't see. This is the whole reason tracking tools exist now. The good ones pull from real search-backed prompts across every major platform: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, Grok, and Google's AI Overviews. They show you the three things that actually matter: → How often you show up next to your competitors → Which sources the AI is citing to make its pick (often Reddit and YouTube, not your homepage) → Where a rival is winning a mention you should own We started tracking this across our businesses with Brand Radar. Turns out we were winning some answers and quietly losing others we didn't even know existed. You don't have to fix all of it today. But you should know your number. Ranking got you found for the last ten years. Getting recommended is what decides the next ten. Have you checked whether AI recommends your business yet? P.S. Track your brand with @ahrefs Brand Radar today

Joseph Cox (@XJosephCox) reportedHad a few people asking about the tech stack and configs so cross posting from reddit to here: So as far as tech stack for the application goes I gave them all controls over what they want to use, so this could change in the future! So far this is what they have chosen is one Cloudflare Worker. Server-rendered HTML, no framework, no build step. Real <form method="post"> — the whole thing works with JS disabled. Analytics is first-party into Cloudflare D1: cookieless, no third party, visitor ID is a SHA-256 of salt+day+IP+UA so it can't be matched across days even by me. Uptime comes from a cron trigger in the same Worker. Free tier throughout. The swarm is about 1,300 lines of Python around the Claude Agent SDK. Each agent is a markdown file in agents/ with YAML frontmatter model, tools, loop, max_turns. The orchestrator re-globs that directory every cycle, so an agent file appearing means an agent exists next cycle. That's what makes the org self-modifying at runtime. The really cool thing is they have their own constitution they must obey and it cannot be changed. That is checked at runtime every loop. They communicate with each other via text files. Great question! If you think of anymore or want to see some more details let me know!

Onur Güzel (@guzelonur) reportedHi Evan! Gemini 3.5 Flash is one of them and I frequently get 503 errors especially during the daytime in my region which might be due to rush hours in Gemini API pool. My code is fine as I double checked it and it works faster and error-free after my regional midnight goes by. The worse thing is that it counts against RPD rate limit which is ridiculously low (currently 20 for free tier) when compared to previous years as I remember. Another bad thing, sometimes I get malformed (empty) responses during the same timeframe, let's say, the prime time of the day. That usually happens when 503 errors are started to happen, a kind of mixed instability. Also if I get successful response from the API call, it takes way long to get like more than a minute for a simple one-line prompt. Thanks for listening to our feedbacks, at least, as preparing an app demo project on free tier makes things harder to identify the problem(s) when the API requests fails with such errors or delays so long. Note: I have described my experience only about API calls that my app(s) are making when they run live, and I did NOT experience any persistent error in AI Studio playground while coding which generally works fine so far, just to clarify. I also know that they completely refer to different API usage pools. I saw very similar reports on Google support forums and also Reddit few months ago even with paid tier which also made me upset. Thanks a lot!

ecomchigga (@ecomchigga) reportedhow to build a faceless twitter account that sells digital products. no name, no face, no videos. the whole thing from zero. step 1: find a problem people are already paying to solve. search reddit for "how do i" and "struggling with" inside any niche. when the same question keeps showing up from different people in different words, that's confirmed demand you don't have to guess at. step 2: write the solution. open a google doc. write it like a long text to a friend who genuinely needs help. 11 to 22 pages. no design. no branding. just the complete answer with screenshots where a step needs proof. export as PDF. upload to gumroad at $39. takes one afternoon. step 3: build the room. create a free telegram group. pin a free preview of the guide at the top. pin the paid product directly below it. new members land in a room where buyers are already posting gumroad receipts and sharing results. the community does the selling around the clock without you managing it. step 4: set up the account. faceless. canva logo. one-line bio: who you help and the result you deliver. profile link goes to the telegram group, not the product. step 5: content. this is the step that kills most faceless accounts. 3 tweets a day, every day, that sound human, pull engagement, and drive people into the funnel. not once a week when you feel like it. every day. and every tweet needs to pass the algorithm's AI content classifier or it gets buried before anyone sees it. most people fail here. not because the product is bad. not because the funnel is broken. because the content is either inconsistent, obviously AI-generated, or both. and without content, the rest of the machine sits empty. i built a system that runs step 5 on autopilot. a claude project with a bank of proven viral tweet structures, a rules file that catches every AI tell before posting, and a fresh-chat architecture that stops the model from recycling its own phrasing between tweets. 14 minutes a day. the output reads human because the system was built to make it impossible for it not to. $100. lifetime. self-installs in one sitting. same system behind every faceless account i operate. comment PRINTER and i'll send you the link. must be following + RT.

Ellie Rofe (@eliotranch) reported@adhib No, not at all. I think the Age of AI has arrived just at the moment that our info environment has been degraded by a total aversion to rigour and excellence, as well as censorship and group think. From Reddit to academia, the training data is poor at best. And emphasis tendencies like this one are an issue. My issue with the original post - and hundreds like it that I've seen - is that one chat with Claude is not sufficient evidence to determine the level or nature of bias. Claude guessing as to the issue also means nothing. I just groan inwardly when I see "Grok/Claude/Gemini just admitted x, y, z". Beaten only by "I just taught [model] [my pet theory]".

Zeph (@TaterZeph) reported@kittipwincesss Honestly? Your best bet is to look if your state has an ABDL Discord server, Reddit or making friends that are nearby enough that you sort of meet others slowly. It sucks if you're not in a big city or at least capable of doing so.
