I don't really look like my profile pic anymore, for a number of reasons. I haven't changed it in 4 years though, and at this point I'm too scared to try. So here, have an updated selfie so I feel slightly less disingenuous.

First Original Content Rewards payout hit today! I don't believe they increased the payments. Grateful regardless though. Did you get paid today?

Alright, as promised, the most common ticker was $META in this thread. Purchased. Please clap.

I can't believe you guys are going to force me to buy $META at it's all time high. 😒

What should I buy today? Whatever the most common ticker symbol is at 3:50pm, I’ll buy 2k worth! No questions asked. Feeling frivolous.

Is Netflix a buy here? 🫣

$PYPL and $SOFI are such dogs. Only trick they know is how to play dead 🙄

So this worked out 😮‍💨 RIP to those who roasted $META

Anyone buying anything today, or just admiring all the green?

How are you using Muse? I want specific examples please.

Is Muse the sole reason for $META rocketing up today? Is Muse really that good? 🫣

I thought AI was going to kill us all, crypto was going to zero, and the stock market was going to implode. Please advise.

I feel like I’m the only one who wasn't impressed by Figure’s Helix 2.5 robot demo the other day. Yes, I understand and appreciate that this is incredibly difficult technology to build. But if we take a step back and just analyze it for what it is, that demo was not impressive from any practical standpoint. That robot is still painfully, blood-boilingly slow. Yet that wasn’t even remotely my biggest issue with the demo. The tasks they gave these robots were ridiculously controlled in every sense of the term, while they tried to convince us they weren't. The messes they manufactured for these robots would never be deemed a real mess in any normal high-traffic household. The beds these robots had to make were BARELY unmade - in fact, my 12 year old would consider them already made. You can tell that if you gave that machine a truly unmade bed (I'm talking sheets fully untucked on every corner, twisted around other blankets, etc) it would NEVER accomplish it in any acceptable way on it's own. Everything was staged to give that robot the easiest possible version of normal low-effort household chores. And it STILL struggled in this perfect scenario! That's what gets me the most about this demo. The towel folding was the nail in the coffin for me in terms of any optimism I had for robotics in the near future. A towel is effectively the tutorial level of folding laundry, and it still couldn’t do it cleanly. WHAT?? Then they just moved on like nobody was supposed to notice that failure of a folding job?! We keep seeing all these robotics demos framed as if household robots are right around the corner. The engineering progress is impressive, sure. I totally get it. The actual usefulness though...not even close yet. If this is the cutting edge of household robotics in 2026, we are nowhere near TRULY replacing human capability in the home. Not “a couple years away.” Nowhere near. I'm sorry. 🫠

Why can’t we schedule threads using X pro? You can write them, it shows “1 more post” in X Pro scheduler, but it will never, ever, publish any of the follow up posts if scheduled this way. It will only post the first post in a thread. Plz fix @nikitabier 👉👈 should be easy.

Turns out I had access to the WoW Beta all along. I just downloaded it and I'm about to ruin my life. See you in Azeroth ✌️

My timeline is FULL of World of Warcraft content right now and I love it so damn much. I can’t explain how deeply nostalgic this game is for me. I don’t think there’s anything else in my life with as many core memories somehow intertwined into my relationship with this game. Even hearing the music hits me so hard it almost makes me cry. I wasn’t going to play the beta, but I’m pretty close to trying to get a key now. From everything I’ve seen so far, it looks like they absolutely nailed this masterpiece. I am so, so, SO relieved that it genuinely looks, feels, and plays like vanilla WoW. Honestly, I don’t think us millennials would even bother coming back to WoW if it didn’t. The nostalgia only works if the gameplay is 100% true to historical memory. I can't wait to disappear into Azeroth again. 🥹

World of Warcraft forever is going to be my midlife crisis.

Should I pre-order the iPhone 18 Pro Max, or just wait until it hits stores this Friday? I don't understand why people are pre-ordering when delivery dates are pushed to mid-October Stores are suppose to have them stocked in 2 days. Am I missing something obvious here?

The fed raised interest rates by 25 basis points today. This is the first rate hike since July 2023. How do we feel about this?

Okay chat, are we getting a rate hike today or nah?

If AGI exists, the public hasn't seen it yet. That doesn't mean they don't have it chained up in a lab somewhere behind the scenes, but it's certainly not in ANY model we can buy access to.
