NEW investigation for @WSJ:
- Polymarket is paying scores of offshore clippers to quietly promote its international exchange in the U.S. (though it’s banned from letting Americans trade on the platform)
- Polymarket made dummy websites mirroring its real site, then paid creators to use the fake site and pretend to win thousands.
- Creators altered headlines and used outdated footage to imply they won bets—even when they often lost
- Polymarket paid Adin Ross multiple millions to promote the site
All that and more in my latest story with @ByKLong@ceostroff@brenna__smith
My TL has been exposing me to a horrifying world of women who have been driven sexually insane by Matt Johnson and Jay McCarroll to the point that I feel like they could be a danger to themselves and others
I went to the mall with @underscoresplus to talk about her biggest album yet U, her perennial impulse to overproduce, longtime love of K-pop and the Minecraft channel-to-hyperpop producer pipeline

🚨 UPDATE: We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, "I have never told anyone I lived there." However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer.
the problem I have with AI models in general is, I don't know a single person I have ever met who would ever want to say "hey rivian, we might need to get cleaned up on the way home 😏" (emphasis on the fucking 😏 apparently) instead of being like "navigate to a car wash" lmao
