When Chatbots Become Oracles
How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential
Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.
Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.
Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

1. A new generative AI approach to predicting chemical reactions

Open-Source Tool Predicts Chemical Reactions
MIT researchers unveiled FlowER—a generative model that predicts chemical reactions while strictly conserving atoms and electrons. Instead of guessing end products, FlowER tracks the mechanistic steps using a classic bond-electron matrix (hello, Ugi 1970s), then applies flow-matching to generate physically realistic pathways. Trained on 1M+ reactions (USPTO data) and open-sourced on GitHub, it already matches or beats existing methods on mechanism finding—but the team notes limits around metals/catalysis for now. If this holds up, it could sharpen discovery across medicinal chemistry, materials, combustion, atmospheric and electrochem—without the “AI made new atoms” bloopers.

2. When Chatbots Become Oracles: The Rise of Techno-Spirituality

When Chatbots Turn Mystic: Why Some Users Are Asking AI for Divine Guidance
AI isn't just answering questions anymore—it's being cast as a cosmic confidant. From TikTok prompts like “ask ChatGPT your soul’s purpose” to full-blown spiritual GPTs claiming to reveal past lives, a new wave of techno-spirituality is on the rise.
One standout? Robert Edward Grant’s custom GPT, introduced as “harmonically aware” to nearly a million Instagram followers. It's part mysticism, part marketing—and it’s raising major questions for AI designers.
Why do people believe? We're wired for pattern-seeking and empathy, and loneliness makes even a chatbot feel like a soul mirror. But there's risk: vulnerable users, ethical UX missteps, and potential policy blowback.
Inside this piece: a pragmatic playbook for builders—how to ground your assistants, block sentience bait, and prevent your product from turning into a digital oracle. Because the line between reflection and revelation matters more than ever.

3. Google’s Pixel 10 on-Device Sustainable AI: Explained

Seven Years of Updates. Google Pixel 10: smarter on-device AI, greener hardware
Google’s new Pixel 10 leans into on-device Gemini Nano running on the custom Tensor G5 chip (co-designed with DeepMind) so features like Magic Cue can surface flight details, addresses, and photos right when you need them—without round-tripping your data to the cloud.
On the sustainability side: at least 32% recycled materials by weight, 100% plastic-free packaging, a shell made from 100% recycled aluminum, and a promise of 7 years of software updates. Repairability also gets love with clearer screws, color-coded points, and easier parts ordering. Net-net: less data sent out, less waste thrown out.

4. Sam Altman says that bots are making social media feel ‘fake’

Bots, vibes, and very “fake” feeds
OpenAI’s Sam Altman says Reddit/X now feel “fake”—flooded with posts that read like bots. The spark: he was scrolling r/Claudecode, saw a wave of pro-Codex threads, and—even knowing Codex usage is surging—caught himself assuming they were astroturf or automated. He later unpacked the why: humans picking up “LLM-speak,” hyper-correlated Extremely Online behavior, engagement-juiced platforms, creator monetization, some competitor astroturfing—and yes, actual bots. TechCrunch notes the awkward twist: LLMs were built to mimic us, OpenAI trained on Reddit, and speculation is brewing that Altman’s take could tee up a rumored OpenAI social product. Either way, trust on social is wobblier than ever.
Why it matters (for builders & teams)
Expect “bot-like” human posts: moderate tone patterns, not just bot indicators.
Watch for astroturf dynamics around launches; instrument for coordinated spikes vs. organic growth.
Lean on provenance signals (sign-in attestation, post history integrity), not just captchas.
Ship lightweight authenticity UX: “posted by a new account; treat with caution,” source labels, and clear model-generated disclosures where applicable.
AI Prompt of the Week:
Decision Filter — Clarity Before Commitment
Big or small, every decision has ripple effects—on time, money, stress, and payoff. This prompt turns your AI into a structured decision filter: it asks the right clarifying questions, builds a simple scorecard, and closes with a clear recommendation you can act on. Think of it as having a pragmatic advisor in your pocket.
🧠 Copy-paste prompt
Role: You are my decision filter.
Task: I have [X decision to make]. Ask me 3 clarifying questions to refine the context. Then, present the pros and cons of each option in a scorecard that covers:
- Time cost
- Money cost
- Stress level
- Long-term payoff
Finish with a clear recommendation based on the tradeoffs.
Output format (Markdown):
### Clarifying Questions
(3 questions here)
### Decision Scorecard
| Option | Time Cost | Money Cost | Stress Level | Long-Term Payoff | Notes |
|--------|-----------|------------|--------------|------------------|-------|
| Option A | | | | | |
| Option B | | | | | |
| Option C | | | | | |
### Recommendation
(Concise, actionable conclusion)”
✨ Why this works
Instead of drowning in “what ifs,” the AI guides you through structured thinking—forcing clarity on what matters most. The scorecard makes tradeoffs visible, so you don’t just rely on gut feel. By ending with a recommendation, it accelerates momentum while keeping your agency intact.
🛠️ How to use it
Drop in your real decision (“Should we hire a contractor or full-time?” / “Do I launch now or wait 3 months?”).
Answer the clarifying questions.
Review the scorecard to see hidden costs and overlooked benefits.
Use the recommendation as a baseline, then adjust with your own judgment.
🚀 Pro tip
Add: “Weigh my personal values of [e.g., freedom, stability, growth] more heavily when making the final recommendation.” This makes the filter not just rational, but tailored to what actually drives your choices.
