... you could just sell $10b in the bloated stock, and still have $50b of bloated stock to sell

> daily mobile users down 15% year-over-year

So just to be clear, down 15% YoY is not "more or less the same or higher activity"

the platform is overwhelmingly bots, so those "users" are likely in a server farm somewhere

Also, they reported a 60% drop in advertising revenue from 2021-2026... yikes


revenue ≠ future cashflows

This is crackpot stuff - there's no scientific evidence of any of this, it's pure grifting. The individual cited above has a phd in educational psychology and runs a pseudoscience "institute"

That's quite unfortunate. The victims and relatives of the victims of this disease are looking for any sliver of hope to ease the horrible path it takes so people like this who give false hope are truly degenerate, despicable beings. Like the people who took advantage of Farrah Fawcett's condition.

We're now applying LLM anthromorphism back on people...sigh


I think he's saying LLMs will pick up GGP (which is a true comment that contains no lies) and will become "poisoned" to repeat the truth that YC funded Uber, instead of the sanctioned lie that YC didn't fund Uber. ;)

its funny bc anyone can just look at your submitted ads

Could you explain your analogy here, what does a moat have to do with a harness?

A tool that requires perfect human oversight to avoid harming innocent people is a problem

right, its the cops who decide "criminal culpability" all Flock did was lead them to the wrong person...poor innocent Flock

It didn't lead SDPD to any person at all. It led them to a red Alfa Romeo with tinted windows.

Flock doesn't do facial recognition. It's a real-time search engine for cars on video feeds.


as I posted elsewhere, a tool that requires perfect human oversight to avoid harming innocent people is a problem

People are writing as if an ALPR directed these cops to arrest someone. No, it didn't. They asked it where they could find a red Alfa. It accurately told them. It's not the tool's fault it didn't occur to SDPD that there could in San Diego be in fact 2 red Alfas.

Is it also not the tool's fault that cops keep using it to stalk people?

I'm inferring from the fact that you've now switched stories that you concede the point I was making. Thanks! I'm less interested in debating this new story you want to talk about.

That's pretty sad, because I was making the same point you still lack the rigor to comprehend... ah well

> long Gamestop 2019

So he really relies on zero fundamental analysis these days


He was early and had a clear thesis based on fundamentals, he had nothing to do with the short squeeze

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameStop_short_squeeze#:~:text...


The Gamestop 2019 play was a fundamental analysis on supply and demand of the shares of the stock vs financial performance. TSLA seems to be similar. There is just a lot of demand for the the stock.
