The dirty secret about consumer research? It’s overrun by fraud.

Survey bots. People lying to qualify for interviews.

Today, Pogo is launching the world’s only AI researcher that lets brands talk to verified buyers of any product - at scale, in hours.

Backed by $32M to date.

For 6 years, we’ve built the consumer network that makes research with real, verified buyers possible:

• 3M+ opted-in U.S. consumers
• Visibility into 1 in every 150 U.S. shopping trips
• $470B in observed transactions
• Ranked #1 Loyalty App in the U.S. by Newsweek, two years running

@AlexFinn I highly doubt we’ve seen Claude Code’s peak. Or Codex. Let’s not overreact.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn Eh…Anthropic may not be wrong for putting human life before economic interests.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn Except the open source local models will always be months behind. Isn’t this counter to your theory that to not be part of the permanent underclass you need to be using the best intelligence? Which is it?

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn OpenClaw is the amazing, but most important software release of our lifetime is hyperbole.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn College is not only about securing your economic future. There are many, many other lessons, experiences, and benefits. There’s also value in learning more subjects and becoming a well educated human than just focusing on building a tech startup with OpenClaw

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@jason_haugh @AlexFinn Agreed, I’m seeing a ton of utility personality. That’s why I wanted to point out that AI being really useful doesn’t mean it is or isn’t a bubble.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@jason_haugh @AlexFinn The bubble argument isn’t about whether AI is useful, it has to do with the financial engineering and revenue requirements to fund the massive investment going into it right now. The dot com bubble happened and it wad about costs, not whether the web was useful and powerful.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn The usefulness of OpenClaw, which is amazing, has nothing to do with whether AI is a bubble or not.

On this date in 1939, the Oregon Ducks won the first men’s NCAA basketball championship, defeating Ohio State by the score of 46-33.

The last time an NCAA men's tournament game had fewer than 80 combined points was in 1999, when 12-seed Missouri State beat 5-seed Wisconsin, 43-32.

@HYPEBEAST Gotta be Germany's away kit. Clean, minimal, and pairs perfectly with white sneakers. The colorway potential alone makes it the winner - imagine the Off-White collabs we could get inspired by that design.

[Patrick McCarthy @patmccarthy]

@AlexFinn This isn’t accurate that tons of people will be able to create multiple profitable businesses. There aren’t enough dollars and use cases to go around. Having built an app with this tech and even automated much of the marketing, it isn’t that simple. Still great tech though.
