) to find arbitrage opportunities on Polymarket. The basic idea: when you have overlapping prediction markets (like "Trump wins presidency" AND "Trump wins the presidency and the popular vote"), sometimes the prices get out of whack. The sum of the atomic outcomes should equal the price of the combined markets, but they don't always. When that happens, there's free money on the table. During the election, there was insane liquidity in these markets, and the tool would automatically scan for these mispriced combinations and execute trades to capture the spread. No directional betting, no predictions needed – just pure math arbitrage. It worked surprisingly well. The election created the perfect storm: high volume, multiple overlapping markets, and enough volatility to create regular mispricings. The repo has the full code, CLI tools for managing wallets and positions, and even a daemon mode to run it automatically. There's a whole breakdown of the election strategy in the README if you're curious how it worked. Anyway, thought some of you might find it interesting. Again, shitcoins involved, but the arbitrage logic is pretty fun.

Tech vs. Media: Balaji Srinivasan on the Battle Shaping Our Future - YouTube What really caused the breakdown between tech and media—and what comes next? In this episode, Erik Torenberg sits down with Balaji Srinivasan (entrepreneur, investor, and author of The Network State) to explore the long-building conflict between Silicon Valley and legacy journalism. Balaji explains how the collapse of traditional media business models gave rise to political capture, clickbait, and adversarial coverage of the tech industry. They discuss why “going direct” is no longer optional, how tech became the villain in establishment narratives, and what it would take to build a new truth infrastructure—from decentralized content creation to cryptographic verification. This episode dives deep into power, distribution, and the future of media, with a signature mix of historical insight, social analysis, and Balaji’s forward-looking frameworks.
