I lost six figures to a real estate operator who defrauded 30+ investors. The FBI got involved. Class action lawsuits piled up. And it was completely preventable — if anyone had just left a review.

DealCred is a review platform for real estate deals. Look up lenders, borrowers, and operators before you wire money. It helps build reputations, free to use, and hoping to help prevent more fraud in the community.

I'm curious if we instead gave students an AI tool, but one that would intentionally throw in wrong things that the student had to catch. Instead of the student using LLMs, they would have one paid for by the school.

This is more brainstorming then a well thought-out idea, but I generally think "opposing AI" is doomed to fail. If we follow a montessori approach, kids are naturally inclined to want to learn thing, if students are trying to lie/cheat, we've already failed them by turning off their natural curiosity for something else.

I asked for feedback, and the recruiter sounded frustrated (about the internal process), because they had a moving bar on what was wanted from the hiring managers. I know I hadn't completely aced one of the interviews (they had me do a second one), and apparently they thought it was good enough on initial review, but when coming back to review it again it was not good enough.

It seems like they are going through growing pains as a company.

I work a lot with smaller investors, in real estate, private money lending, etc. It's sometimes hard to do due diligence on someone, and after having a couple bad deals and realize over 30 people were scammed, I wished there was a simple review site where you could see someone's past reviews.

Site is 80% there, hoping to enter beta in the next month.

And/or also curious if there is a way to enter in a list of items I want and for it to calculate which store - in aggregate - is the cheapest.

For instance, people often tell me Costco is much cheaper than alternatives, and for me to compare I have to compile my shopping cart in multiple stores to compare.

Is there anyway to sync with Audible? Even if it's a hacky chrome extension reading off the audible website?

I'm not sure "style" is the right word, but "hat" feels like the wrong one.
