Hi,

Great question.

The app is unit based and no money is exchanged in the app. So the main functionality of the app is to facilitate fun, friendly bets with your friends on the football, sport and other topics. We certainly not a hardcore bettor platform.

You can propose, track, tally these units in the app. How you settle up is up to you. I don’t believe we will ever move into a real money platform.

Hi,

I built the app myself. But we now have a small team of devs working on it with me overseeing the bigger projects.

My background is in computer science from UT Austin. I worked at Amazon as Software Development Engineer/Manager for around 4 years.

Red tape and regulation in the world of betting is different for each state and can be a nightmare to manage, so I made the decision early on to not allow real money in the App. So there is no real money exchanged in the app, we simply track balances of bets your propose to friends. It is unit based, so therefore legal in all states. How you settle up the balances is up to you.

We still run into issues occasionally, at the moment we have some policy issues we need to fix for the Google play store.

I live in Canada where sports betting laws have recently changed. I am constantly bombarded with ads to get me to start gambling. I avoid many things like this because I know how easy it is to become addicted.

How do you deal with the morality of creating a product that will likely end up ruining a percentage of users’ lives?

> I seriously doubt that the biology field is wholly saturated with ai engineers

It's not saturated at all. But from the tone of your comments it sounds like you think biotech companies haven't thought about hiring AI engineers, which isn't the case. Of course they see the benefit of engineers. Have you looked to see if Recursion is hiring?

Why do you think celibacy has a positive effect in your day to day life? I have not found that to be the case, and it makes no sense from my perspective. If you are unwilling, then you will struggle, same as when you diet, and if you don't, then you are not distracted at all

So... Im curious, what is the logic behind it?

Homie 99% of the posts on this god-forsaken subreddit are literally for the express purpose of free advertising. Claiming this guy is unknowledgeable solely because he is planning on using AI is both pointless and obtuse. Pointless because he’s probably just some PR intern and obtuse because AI has the potential to revolutionize the medical field (among others).

Not the OP, but they have rush tickets for as low as $25 each for the balcony and loge areas (rising to $75 each for the orchestra stall seats). They can't guarantee you a seat, but if you show up a two hours before the start time of the performance you may get one. I've done a few of these rush performances and I've never failed of getting a ticket. Also, if you're a student or a member of the military, you can get special discounts. This page has more information.
