As that one retired general said. We need Nuremberg-style trials. Either the democrats enact them, or the US will fall into republican-controlled dark ages.

Good luck. Dems are complicit playing good cop while the Republicans are bad cop in the service of oligarchs.
Primary the corporate Democrats with progressives. If that fails, only then a revolution will truly break the shackles of corrupt oligarchy.

we’ve been in those dark ages since 1917.
We have been in those dark ages since 1492.
Making it a crime to fail to vote would end the Republicans permanently. Even if every ballot option had a none of the above. I think it should be mandatory. Also, if none of the above beats all of the candidates, none of them are allowed to run again for any office.
poorly placed em-dash
that's not x, that's y
mic drop final sentence in its own paragraph
I'm not saying it's AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see
As a person who has used em-dash style of writing, because it’s correct and appropriate, I hate that AI has made me seem like a bot
AI doesn't make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you're a bit mixed up there.
The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can't actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking -- they are the problem in this context.
AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.

Perfect.

No the problem is that the internet is packed with AI pig shit slop.

Stolen content.
The reason why AI uses em-dashes is because all the journalists and writers used it first.
I also use em-dashes on occasion, but I use them right. I can't define how I use them, nor can I conjure up any reasonable uses for one in this comment, but you can tell when it should be there and when it shouldn't. Like, an AI would have replaced the second comma in that sentence with one

If there's one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it'll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you're talking to a real person.
It might be in your circle but I guarantee you people like my boomer parents (who are still on Twitter by the way) would not notice this at all. They might even respond.
I'm not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don't notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.
Random ass tweet or picture doesn't deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it's AI or man made, it's still data garbage.
As an autistic individual living in a rural middle of nowhere village with no access to transportation to leave and actually go do things of my interest and meet people outside of this regressive MAGA infested cesspool, I fail to see the benefits

sure would be nice if there were a way to track that accounts' bets and make the same ones.
There's no concrete evidence that those 16 trades were made by the same person; they're just inferring it. There is no account to track, from what I can tell- just anonymous unlinked trades
I think they're also happening on various platforms/markets/exchanges. The oil one referenced here was on a commodity futures exchange.
Also ~~OP's title is misleading~~. The Trump family doesn't own a prediction market, but they do influence Polymarket and Kalshi, and there is a planned "Truth Predict" that's going to be like Polymarket but baked into Truth Social, but that doesn't exist yet

The insider trading has been out of control for a long time, but this shit with Trump and truth social posts is as blatant as can be. Of course absolutely nothing will happen to these people as they now 'have money' and are immune to the "justice" system. I don't think I'll ever see things moving in the right direction in my lifetime.
They've got a Signal group.
What insider? Which guy is 16 for 16? What source? I don't disbelieve that could happen, but I can't find anything as specific as this that back that up, and uncritically taking tweets at face value will be the death of us all.
Exactly. Name names or fuck off
"Name names or fuck off"
I want to have this on my wall, right in eyesight of my reading chair as I peruse the news each day.
Fucking based
Yea I mean, if we can just track some individual’s trades… let’s do it and make it public.
This is simply what happens when you elect a mob boss as president.
No Trump voter should be surprised.
America is not a good country.
Never was.
Everything good about this country was because of our counter-culture doing things in spite of this nation.
They're on their decadent high or perhaps just over their peak before the real downfall. They could have been better, but that house of cards is collapsing so it's take what you can get before it gets worse. Awesome job Americans, you had one job not to not elect a conman to presidency and you failed twice. Kudos, I doubt many others would fuck up that poorly. Hats off, flamboyant bow they made evident what was thought impossible, bring down the US through stupidity. Bravo.
Yeah well donald trump jr is an "advisor" for Polymarket so I suppose he's got a lot of things he can win bets on. Not to mention Kushner who's close to both benji and mbs (and djt sr and djt jr). They're all in this scheme together. And the ones who can stop them (GOP senators) aren't stopping them so there's no oversight to whatever corruption they may attempt.
Are you able to tell what this person is betting at the time of the bet? Or only after?
Cause I would just bet what ever he does if you could know beforehand.
But Pelosi has made millions being the 29th best stock picker in Congress!
Yes, they both should be in prison.

On one hand jfc, on the other, you'd think people would stop betting on world events, killing that line of gambling on Kalshi, when we now have multiple pieces of evidence of manipulation.
Hey, look at that! A Trump finally figured out how to run a fucking casino!
Is this not a remarkably stupid and easily traceable crime? I want this to be Barron Trump so bad. It would just be great to nip that little psycho in the bud. I'll also take the second dumbest Donald Trump or Eric. Just find out and throw em in jail/get out the pitchforks.
It is when you're not in power, but Gerald Ford and Barack Obama showed you what happens when it comes time for crimes to be punished.
We'll get another fucking speech like: "We're looking forward and not behind." And it'll mean the criminals get to keep their ill-gotten gains and live in peace.
It’ll be a time for unity, not more division (ie, let them all get away with it, so it can repeat itself)
Is there any actual proof of this trade? I searched it up and couldn’t find any real proof aside from a twitter and FB post.
don JR is on Kalshi's board.
I don’t understand why 1) people are using a service they know is rigged due to insider info 2) simply not following/watching these accounts and copying them
Granted I don’t gamble and don’t know much about this specific platform but it seems silly to be blindly betting with in this set up?
