“you can’t watch football every day”

the intern / magic eden is best place to discover, buy and trade your favorite digital collectibles (yes, that magic eden)

It’s 2030. Every big brand account on Warpcast is being run by a sophisticated social media team leveraging powerful AI assistants. We reminisce about the good old days, when the interns were in charge. @polymarket @meonbase

from nate silver to perplexity and now to bloomberg terminal, whoever is doing polymarket BD deserves a raise.

bloomberg terminal, the most widely used software by financial institutions to access real-time markets and place trades (and therefore influence market movements and decisions), has integrated polymarket. 

this is huge for:
a) mainstream awareness and adoption - bloomberg terminal is ubiquitous in finance for data, news, messaging, price quotes, trading, analytics, etc.
b) credibility - bloomberg is known as a respected source of financial information

this could be huge for (but TBD):
a) liquidity - drive more users (non-US and institutional) to participate in prediction markets, leading to more market efficiency, tighter spreads, reduced volatility (a la "flywheel")
b) innovation - drive new ideas that combine traditional markets with prediction markets or that enhance existing forecasting tools, etc.

How do you choose who gets boosted? 

Any algorithmic system will get gamed and result in junk being recommended to people. We have a heuristic that picks accounts for boosts and then we manually review their posts to see if its something that most people would enjoy seeing in their feeds.

My general career advice for people in their 20s

- Figure out what you want to be when you grow up

- If that's too hard, figure out where you want to be in 5 years

- Work backwards from there, what's the best next move that gets you closer to that goal

- Optimize for 1 thing at a time; optimizing for multiple things usually leads to worse near-term decisions

- Avoid side quests rationalizing the optionality or ability to return the main quest later
