Polymarket has seen a fair degree of insider trading recently.
So Polymarket created bets on whether insider trades are happening.
And inside traders are betting on inside bet markets π
I got alerted this morning, theres a strong chance the ferry to the Isle of Man will be cancelled tomorrow. The Met office are predicting 43mph winds in the Irish sea:
Last night I used Perplexity's Comet agentic browser to search for and book two restaurants for our upcoming trip to the Isle of Man.
Why did I use Perplexity over OpenClaw?
Perplexity's Comet browser is a browser that can be fully controlled by Perplexity's AI, which means it can operate on my main computer while I watch what it does.
OpenClaw runs on its own dedicated machine, in my case a Raspberry Pi, I can login to watch OpenClaw do his thing, but the screen is small and it's a remote session.
Perplexity made one mistake, which I was able to prevent, it inferred the wrong booking date, despite having a reference event to book around it started making the restaurant booking a week later.
Also, the conversation mode has no access to the context window, so it repeatedly asked me for my name, phone number and email. When I switched to dictation within the context window, it retained this information.
It performs much slower than I would, so for the moment remains a parlour trick, impressive as it is.
Despite this, it successfully booked two restaurants and added them to my calendar.
This is just the start of the agentic AI era.
