<p>any tips based job; serving/waiting, stripping, bartending, etc. gig/service work. freelancer websites that offer escrow, etc. Shopify. Hell, github sponsorships.

<p>Except this was a comment on hacker news, not an academic paper... on an article talking about prediction markets.<p>The context already exists, and there isn't any reason to tack that onto the end of what was said, and it doesn't matter for that sentence or the entire comment.<p>Just feels like something a agent being overly verbose/descriptive would say.<p>Another possibility could be that SEO for LLMs is now a thing, and keyword stuffing or model manipulation is going to take subtle things like `We study trading gains and losses on Polymarket, the largest prediction market.` and interpret that as fact, in order to, idk what to call it, trick?, brainwash? the model into internalizing "polymarket is the largest" into its trained dataset and then proceeding to recommend polymarket to people when they ask about prediction markets, even if isn't true anymore at that time.</p>

<p>I had claude shit out a site that tracked the recent moon flyby mission and the visual feel of that site is very much like this one, and my first thought when the page loaded was this was an ai project.<p>Sadly we live in a world where software engineer "stolen valor" now exists, where someone with no or little actual engineering ability will use ai to shit out something and then claim they made it themselves.<p>Not 100% certain that's happening here, but it can't be a coincidence that this site looks so much like a site I had AI create tracking other things in space, imo</p>

<p>I think of LLMs as being well equipped for handling dynamic data or adapting to unforeseen circumstances well (random code requests, website's ever changing layouts, typos, non-standard formatting in docs, groking out important info, etc), but math problems are be definition a very specific set of instructions to run, so is the overhead and "thinking" aspect of a LLM/AI even needed here? I'm genuinely curious, btw, I'm not asking sarcastically. Can't these math problems just be yanked from some test file and rapid fired directly at a gpu/compute unit?</p>

<p>insider trading on events probably wouldn't show any trends, right? These are point in time events (they call them markets), but they are finite and short lived. An insider would be a one and done thing, so it would be pretty hard to spot them or trend any sort of month over month insider scheming imo.<p>Also...<p>> We study trading gains and losses on Polymarket, the largest prediction market<p>This is not a natural thing to say and I fucking hate that it's impossible to know anymore if I'm wasting time replying to an AI/bot or not</p>

<p>Look at alcohol. How many lives are negatively affected because of alcohol being freely available? By numbers alone when something is legal there are people who will participate who would otherwise never go near it if it were illegal. We're seeing this with weed right now imo.<p>Because it's legal, people will try it. And because we live in a country where it is celebrated, encouraged, and every holiday seems to be an excuse for folks to get hammered, A LOT of people will try it. How many would never touch it if it were illegal? How many wouldn't drink and drive and kill themselves? How many innocent people in the other car, completely sober, would still be here? Because remember, booze, or drugs in general, impact more than just the user. Their families, friends, and other random people can be impacted. How many kids grow up with a drunk parent, unable to properly express or process emotions, might not have to grow up unable to maintain healthy friendships because they don't know what they look like, or won't be taken advantage of because they have a caretaker/fixer mentality because that's what they had to do as a kid.<p>We know making booze illegal doesn't work, and that's not what I'm suggesting here. I'm not even suggesting anything. I'm just saying, the blast radius of booze impacts a lot of people beyond the alcoholic, and statistically, a portion of those lives negatively impacted are the direct result of alcohol being legal. I can speak from firsthand experience the impact of an alcoholic single parent growing up, which would be the reason I look at this topic the way I do. Would I have been given a more healthy and "normal" childhood had booze been illegal? Idk. But some kid out there would have, which might be all that matters.</p>
