At Uber, one bug reaching production could cost millions in a single day.
So quality was solved with headcount. Rooms of people would manually tap through the app before every release.
Request a ride, add a card, cancel a trip, in 50+ languages, release after release.
Now coding agents have increased the throughput of changes by an order of magnitude. A room of people can't keep up anymore. Nobody can.
Here we used Revyl to run those same flows on Ubert (demo uber), sending our mobile use agent through the app on a cloud iOS device. Every step verified, with CPU, network, and state traces attached when something breaks.
What took a room of testers hours per release runs in 16 minutes, asynchronously.
Get started with our free trial and put an agent on your own app.
my wife thinks i'm obsessed...but I will keep repeating this.
Claude Fable 5 + SEO is going to create more “self made millionaires” this year than the last decade combined.
don't bookmark this if it crosses your timeline.
just paste this entire thing into Claude Fable 5.
thank me later.
Mark Zuckerberg is bankrupting a $22 billion startup because they refused to sell to him.
The company is Kalshi.
They run the largest prediction market in the US. Users bet real money on real-world outcomes.
Last year, prediction markets did $28 billion in monthly volume across the industry.
This month, they did $220 BILLION.
The sector literally 8x'd in a single year.
Bernstein now projects the entire prediction market industry will hit $1 TRILLION by 2030.
Zuckerberg saw the growth curve coming. Last year, when Kalshi was valued at only $2 billion, he sat down with founder and CEO Tarek Mansour to discuss buying the entire company.
Mansour said no.
Kalshi went on to raise at $11 billion in December. Then $22 billion in March. It is now pursuing a $40 billion round and openly weighing an IPO.
Zuckerberg's response:
He walked back to Meta headquarters, took every piece of information he learned in that meeting, and directed a small internal team to build a Kalshi clone from the ground up.
Meta's version is called Arena. It uses Llama to generate the questions. Every one of Meta's 3.5 billion daily users will get access.
And here's where the plan gets ruthless...
Meta is deliberately launching with play money. That single decision lets Zuckerberg dodge every gambling regulator on Earth while he trains billions of users to bet on prediction markets.
Meanwhile Kalshi is spending millions fighting state gambling laws, the CFTC, an Illinois sports tax, a Minnesota felony statute, and the Department of Justice.
Kalshi is the crash test dummy. Meta is the getaway driver.
The moment the regulatory war is settled, Zuckerberg flips the switch. Arena becomes a real-money market, and 3.5 billion users are already trained to use it. Kalshi's user base of a few million cannot compete.
This is the exact playbook Meta ran on Snapchat in 2016 when Instagram Stories launched. It is the exact playbook they ran on TikTok in 2020 when Reels launched. It is the exact playbook they ran on Twitter in 2023 when Threads launched.
The FTC took Meta to court over this pattern last year and called it "buy or bury." The judge sided with Meta. So the playbook is legally protected.
Tarek Mansour walked into a meeting with the most predatory copycat in tech history and gave him the entire pitch deck for the fastest growing product in Silicon Valley.
Six months later, Zuckerberg is executing on that intel while Mansour is stuck defending his company in courts across America.
Kalshi survived Zuckerberg's offer. But it probably will not survive Zuckerberg's clone.
Meta ended Q1 with $81 billion in cash. That is enough to buy every prediction market company on Earth six times over. Zuckerberg is choosing to STEAL them instead because he can, and because the courts already gave him permission.
The next 12 months will decide whether Kalshi becomes a $50 billion IPO or a cautionary tale about what happens when a founder says no to Meta.

S-tier career advice from @3blue1brown
“You should understand where the money is coming from, and what value you’re actually adding, and the connection between those two. I think often a surprisingly small amount of thought is put towards that.”
