Welcome to grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show where we discussed the finer points of what went wrong on the Internet and who's to blame.

I'm Jason DeFalippo.

I'm Brian Shulmister. I like that little pause there, Jason, as if you're weary of the world and everything we're about to discuss.

Well, that's every show we have, Brian. So what's your point? What's your point?

That's a good point.

You know, in happier news, winter is over, spring training is done. The boys of summer are

back playing again. It was opening day for baseball yesterday. It is currently 24 degrees Fahrenheit

here. It is supposed to snow again next week. So what? I don't know. But baseball is back and I enjoy having it on in the background. It's very soothing to me throughout the day and of course my Dodgers. But I did want to make a quick note if you are a baseball fan or just even a casual enjoyer of the game and happen to be a T-Mobile subscriber in the U.S.

For the four games that you do get to watch on T-Mobile, it's worth it. Pretty much, yeah. We have some follow-up. We've been talking about Polly Market and how it's basically going to become a death trap for people. And maybe betting on everything isn't a good idea, but maybe they're kind of sort of agreeing. they've announced that they're going to take insider trading more seriously, as opposed to the not seriously at all as they have been taking it.

Right. It was a feature, not a bug before. It's seen in its latest press release. The prediction market updated its market integrity rules, specifying those concerning insider training and market manipulation.

It's nice to think that they're taking the initiative to update its rules, but it's likely a response to the rise in suspicious bets, whether it's about the U.S. capture of Nicholas Madura, or the release of a new product from Open AI or, I don't know, nuclear weapons going off and all the other things that have been on their platform recently.

They are targeting three specific forms of trading activity.

First off, users aren't allowed to trade on stolen confidential information or any behind-the-scenes knowledge about an outcome that people wouldn't otherwise have access to, which begs the question, how the fuck would they know?
