The ORLEN Press Office alleged that in 2023 the company, without a legal basis and in violation of its own procedures, artificially lowered fuel prices to influence the outcome of the parliamentary elections. According to the office, these actions led to violations of fuel reserves, problems for drivers with refueling, and sales below market prices. ORLEN's losses were estimated at 3.5 billion PLN, and Poland's western neighbors reportedly bought over 80 million liters of fuel in the country at that time. The office claimed that selling below market prices halved the fuel import to Poland. It pointed out that imports covered one third of domestic consumption, and prices in Poland had to follow the quotes of refined fuels in global markets so that importers would not have to sell them cheaper than they bought them. The Polish Organization of the Oil Industry and Trade reported the cessation of imports, and the matter was handled by the prosecutor's office. The office stated that from the beginning of July to the end of September 2023, global diesel prices increased by about 40%, while Poland was the only EU country where fuel prices fell. It also noted that the fuel crisis it described at the time was due to a shortage of refining capacity and the supply of refined fuels, rather than oil prices. #Polska #kryzys #paliwa (translated)

Deweloperuch.pl wrote that the data format project for reporting apartment prices by developers did not include the name of the investment, the status of the premises, or the completion date of construction. It pointed out that there were 10 fields related to the address of the premises and the form of contact, but basic information about the status of the apartment was missing. According to the author, such a format made it impossible to analyze potential market manipulations, including fictitious reservations and reporting sales that did not occur. Deweloperuch.pl also indicated that a special interest group participated in the consultations, and no portal that would use this data took part in them. #nieruchomości #raportowanie #dane (translated)

Jakub Mościcki assessed that the statements from Anthropic and other leading AI companies about the threat to humanity and the need for regulation stemmed from problems with the profitability of their business model. In his opinion, the strategy of relying on customers and then raising token prices did not work. Citing the latest data from Vercel AI Gateway, he wrote that open models accounted for 78.4% of the token volume, while closed commercial solutions made up 21.6% of the market. According to Mościcki, the migration of developers to open-source models that can be run on home computers increases price pressure on companies like Anthropic. He predicted that they would have to significantly lower API prices and look for revenue in advanced enterprise services. He added that he expects further statements from companies about the threat to humanity and regulations. #AI #otwartyKod #regulacje (translated)

Marek Fanatyk wrote that Książulo introduced his own pizza to Żabka at the peak of its popularity. According to the author, the product was supposed to be available in over 13,000 stores nationwide, and it could have piqued the curiosity of millions of people. Fanatyk predicted that over the next few weeks, internet users would publish pizza reviews and assess, among other things, whether it was worth buying for 25 zł. In his opinion, such materials would provide the product with free promotion and encourage more consumers to make a purchase. If sales performed well, Książulo's previous earnings from YouTube could — as he assessed — turn out to be small in comparison. Fanatyk called this move a business masterpiece and said he was waiting for photos of the lines outside Żabka stores. #Książulo #pizza #influencer (translated)
