My 70something mother-in-law walks through estate sales snapping photos of random trinkets asking Claude what they’re worth and flips them for profit. Product-market fit.

Excited to share that @theclearingco is joining @coinbase to continue building at the frontier of prediction markets.

I’m finding that managers would all benefit from becoming good at prompting. When I see people use AI tools to do “soft-skills” tasks, like writing and getting feedback, the biggest pitfall has been: they don’t naturally provide enough meta-context. It’s a good lesson in interpersonal communication: what implicit knowledge do you have which the other party doesn’t? What are your motivations in the first place? What unspoken constraints are you holding? What have you tried already which should be avoided? What are the physical parameters of the output you want?

we've been obsessed with prediction markets since the augur days & hadn't met anyone that shared the same frustrations with how stagnant existing products had become the first time we met toni it was clear he & the team shared a similar vision for what the final form of PMs is
