Polymarket's "Free Money" Glitch

Polymarket’s “free money” glitch

Meta unveils new smart glasses

Antifa labeled terror group

The study, Unravelling the Probabilistic Forest: Arbitrage in Prediction Markets, identified over 7,000 Polymarket cases where mispricing, such as “Yes” and “No” shares not adding up to one dollar, created “free money” for quick traders.

Mispricing also appeared in related markets, like divergent odds for “Trump wins the presidency” versus “Republican wins the presidency,” allowing traders to secure profits by exploiting these gaps.

Arbitrageurs, often using automated bots, have capitalized on these “free money” opportunities, even in liquid markets, showing that prediction markets can deviate from true probabilities.

The Meta Ray-Ban Display, priced at $799 and available from September 30, 2025, builds on the success of Meta’s original Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, integrating cameras, speakers, microphones, and an AI assistant.

The glasses feature a right-lens display for Meta apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, as well as navigation and live translations, connecting to the cloud for internet and social media access.

The accompanying Meta Neural Band, a screenless wristband resembling a Fitbit, uses electromyography (EMG) to detect hand gestures for app navigation, offering 18 hours of battery life and water resistance.

Unlike Meta’s advanced Orion prototype from 2024, which featured augmented reality and eye tracking, the Meta Ray-Ban Display uses a simpler display and is positioned as a consumer-ready product.

Trump described Antifa as a "sick, dangerous, radical left disaster" and accused its members of being "professional agitators" who engage in criminal acts, such as throwing bricks at ICE and Border Patrol vehicles.

The announcement follows Trump’s Monday statement in the Oval Office, where he signaled openness to the designation, and comes after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
