Prediction markets were supposed to predict reality, now they're starting to shape it. I explore - why prediction markets have become part of mainstream conversation. How market odds are increasingly being treated as news and much more: www.sknexus.org/p/truth-infr...

Prediction market odds are being cited as news before events even happen. How speculation is quietly becoming the lens we read reality through.

There’s a very high chance that the drone footage you’ve seen online was shot on a DJI drone. What’s crazy is how dominant the company became. Depending on the market segment, DJI controls somewhere around 70–90% of the global consumer drone space: www.sknexus.org/p/dji-the-dr...

AI makes the rich richer, and the poor poorer and a lot of times makes the debate “will AI replace X role” stupid. The problem is you, if you are not good enough at something, you won’t be able to use the amplifying tool and someone who is able to do that, will probably take your place, period.

Everyone’s talking about the the MacBook Neo. But almost no one is talking about the one decision that made it possible. Apple stopped playing by the PC industry rules. For years, laptops followed the same formula: Intel or AMD chip Separate CPU, GPU, RAM More power = more heat = worse battery

EU recently launched a “privacy-friendly” age verification app, but it was bypassed in minutes. Same pattern again - ship something weak, let it fail, then justify stricter systems. What starts as privacy-preserving slowly turns into surveillance.

No matter how big the pushback is, I think if you compare the people who are raising their voices against this is - they are very small in number and the people who want to buy every luxury surveillance product are immense. And numbers do matter, tech companies don't care what the minority say.
