Yes, that might have been Macklemore. "Sheeran and Kraft have apparently seen and raised Macklemore’s $1 million donation to Palestinian relief by donating $2 million each — although it’s unclear exactly to whom". https://variety.com/2026/music/news/robert-kraft-ed-sheeran-donating-4-million-humanitarian-crisis-1236864850/ -
I get a lot of value out of collaborating with AI when that is useful, but you have to know the limitations of this kind of relation too. AI is a tool.

I’m a very private person, but I appreciate the offer 🤍

Good call gentlemen, just made one. Yeah I think it's unavoidable that some people have a bigger advantage than others in this transition. I think overall it seems that the right conversations are happening both in terms of AI alignment driven by the AI doom camp and also the AI wealth inequality discussions championed by people like Sanders. Also Xi Jinping is in the US as we speak to avoid AI World War 3 happening due to Thucydides trap so let's not count our eggs too soon but perhaps we are in the best timeline after all

After the discussion on AI in the AI bubble thread, @Joshe suggested we start a thread discussing more specifically AI applications in a business context. @something_else had good insight on a business model based around being a context-engineering agency that customizes frontier models for specific enterprise applications which indeed sounds like it would be quite profitable. I don't really have a technical background so my main use case will be to use agentic solutions to build a cutting edge CRM that automates outreach and prospect followup for my existing services. Feel free to discuss either of these applications or brainstorm/share other ways you can think of to use AI to make money! It's great to talk about the philosophical and political implications of the AI revolution but keeping things practical and actionable will give us all way more value and experience in the field.

Some people are really good at MBTI typing. If I met you or you post a video I could probably type you.
-
I have a lot to share on this from a software engineering perspective
-
@Joseph Maynor I personally believe I’m an INFP, but I’ve been typed as INTP and ENTP by other “typists,” so it really depends on how objective I am about myself and how accurately I’ve communicated the relevant information to the typists. That said, I think MBTI and Socionics can be tricky to compare because the two systems aren’t completely 1:1. There are also some issues with how certain behaviors are interpreted through functions and information elements, so I’ve always found that part of typology difficult to pin down because it’s easy for definitions to become so broad or flexible that almost any behavior can be interpreted as evidence for a particular function. I think it’s more useful to stick with a consistent definition of each function that is specific enough to be functionally workable and actually distinguishable from the others. With Enneagram, though, I’m a bit more confident that I’m a 9w8, with sx/sp or sp/sx.

Would that have happened without the critics? -
The biggest problem we see in the health system is that it prioritizes how to treat symptoms instead of root causes. Today understanding root cause of illnesses is just secondary. That's where it falls short. Because it is actually incredible good at treating symptoms, god-like level. But any cause not understood is labelled as "idiopatic" and put under the rug. The reason is because it is way more hard to find the root cause and solve it. It would lead health institutions to bankrupcy. But that's where the definite cure lies. So how do we upgrade the health system?

@Xonas Pitfall Do you know your MBTI?
-
100%. It’s not easy at all to do this effectively when you’re dealing with a complex business/system. I spend a lot of time on this. We should set up a thread for this topic and share ideas.

@Sugarcoat A better way to figure out your type would be to question what you dislike or cannot imagine yourself doing, as well as the thoughts and behaviors you seem to fall into on autopilot, even when nothing is forcing you to act that way. In Socionics, I believe this is partly why there is a function called PoLR, or the Point of Least Resistance. It refers to the information element that is particularly difficult or uncomfortable for a person to deal with. It can show up as a blind spot, an area where you have little confidence or interest, or something you instinctively try to avoid unless circumstances force you to engage with it. Looking at these kinds of patterns can sometimes tell you more about your type than simply reading descriptions and trying to find traits you relate to. In that sense, you can reverse-engineer your type. Instead of asking, “Which type sounds like me?” you can ask, “What consistently feels unnatural to me? What do I struggle to pay attention to? What do I do automatically, even when there is no external reason to do it?” This can help you identify recurring patterns in your cognition and behavior. It’s way too easy to read broad descriptions of different types and get lost in them, especially because you can probably relate to aspects of multiple types. Looking at your actual patterns, especially the things you consistently avoid, struggle with, or do automatically, can give you a more grounded starting point. And of course, as we’ve learned here, bias is huge too. We often subconsciously want to be one type rather than another, or project false identities onto these labels based on what we think they mean for how we’re perceived and what we’re capable of. Removing that bias as much as possible would be ideal. Every type has its own strengths, weaknesses, blind spots, and limitations. I’ve seen, for example, intuitive logical types be the ones people especially like to identify with, or types that people associate with high charisma, intelligence, manipulation, or some kind of exceptional prowess. But people often overlook the less flattering aspects of those types, including the ways they can be clueless and "useless".

My Enneagram is 4w5, tri-type 4-5-9, and instinctual variant sx-so-sp.

You guys need to watch “Pantheon,” on Netflix.

Be careful what you wish for lol.

MBTI, Socionics, Enneagram, Jungian typology, Spiral Dynamics, etc. are amazing tools for self-reflection, but it’s important not to get stuck in these labels. It’s so easy to get caught up in them, and I’ve definitely seen many people do that. Use these systems to reflect on your values and behavioral traits, not to box yourself into a specific type, think you’re above a certain cognitive type, or assume you’re the “best type,” etc.

Actually, they do understand the mechanisms behind others actions. That’s kind of the whole point of Green. They understand that empathizing with certain people is going to lead to them getting abused. Green fundamentally understands as many perspectives as any other stage. In fact, most of tier two is just integration and less moralizing and critiques from Green. There is really not a whole lot of intellectual gain after Green. They just essentially realize they were right and blaming people or generalizing does very little. Which, to your point, can seem more intelligent. However, I’d make a distinction between more intelligent and more integrated. Also, I’d make a distinction between someone’s content becoming more intelligent and their structure.

I think you could definitely sell that premise. A custom or retrained model you can realistically create is unlikely to be competitive with frontier models for most tasks though. Retraining or fine-tuning is somewhat old news now for most use cases. You'd likely be better off running a context-engineering agency that configures the frontier models for companies through skills, plugins, custom agent loops, CLAUDE/AGENT.md files and other forms of external memory and context. Getting this setup right massively improves their performance on tasks for a business which can provide a lot of value. AI is all about getting the right context into the model just now. On your more general point, I don't know how this protects you against the risks of post-scarcity AI-driven world. We're talking about a world where there are basically two classes of people, those with control over the means to produce value and those without. Being able to build custom models or tweak them does not put you in the former unless you earn so much money that you are competitive with the likes of the massive AI companies who actually control the most capable models. Oh, right, yea on this point I agree. My point was not that everybody has equal value in the marketplace just now, my point is that everybody basically would in a post-scarcity AI-driven world. "bringing it into the real world" > "proposes highly unrealistic theoretical scenario" I'm only talking about a theoretical post-scarcity AI-driven world so much because that was the original topic of discussion. I have been trying to keep this discussion anchored to that original point. You said it was just my gut feeling that such a world is more likely to be dystopian than utopian, I think I have provided a fairly solid argument that it is very possible it will be, and that it is not just a gut feeling. I'm interpreting everybody 'owning AI equally' to mean everyone has access to a frontier model that they have full control over with no guardrails, which cannot be taken away from them. If that's not what you meant then please correct me. But assuming it is, who knows if that would be a good thing. It's just your gut feeling that it would be good. You would then have dictators all over the world who now potentially have the capability to produce an extremely effective bio weapon, or to hack into nuclear launch sites and reactors of other countries. To assume that such a chaotic and rapid transformation of the world would be positive is, I think, quite unwise.

Never stuck with it. I’m not compatible with pickup. I don’t have the specific drive and the rewards work differently for me. Instead, I learned to play my own game. If I were to practice and get good at modern pickup, that just wouldn’t be who I am. I wouldn’t be authentic, and that bothers me far more than being bad at picking up girls. Why do you ask? Are you into it? I’m actually more into seduction. I remember when I was like 15 or something and found The Art of Seduction in the bookstore and got super excited about it. Seduction is fun. Modern pickup is shallow in comparison, from my POV.

What do you like to do in life? Find communities that do those things and go be around people without any intention other than to have fun doing the thing with other people. If you have enough fun around enough people, you will match with someone without even trying.

The catch 22 with all of this is that feeling lonely is not attractive at all. It makes you needy and desperate which healthy people can smell off of you. It will not solve your problem ultimately but you might need to get together with another needy person that engages with you selfishly to realize that it doesn’t really work. It’s valuable experience even if it blows up. You’ll be less needy and higher quality people will start to vibe with you more. Having healthy relationships will make your life beautiful and better but you can’t get that if you’re not somewhat exuberant with your energies without the need for anyone’s approval. You don’t need to be perfect but if you don’t love your life already you will only attract people that also don’t love their life. Which again you might have to do just to break up some of that neediness.

@DavinoDavino what video did you post? I cant see the video you posted?

I guess strive is a word I trapped myself with, I think you are wrong on this idea. Most people do not work to build the assets necessary to build agency and ownership in the world. They pay their bills then distract themselves. They do not work towards owning cashflow businesses or other solid assets. At best they will match their employer's contribution to their 401k and a low percentage will ever learn proper investing. Financial ownership has a definition, it means to own assets and not solely liabilities. Someone can learn how AI agents work and use them each day to build value. Someone can customize open-source models for specific business workflows. It doesn’t take a master's in machine learning to do that; you can learn fine-tuning and agent integration from tutorials and documentation in a few hundred hours. I myself considered before to get into the business of selling custom AI models to small and medium enterprises and will revisit this idea next year, it's an extremely lucrative and future proof niche. People do not provide equal value to the marketplace and most communists waste their time with intellectual narcissism instead of solving problems. I've gone to many communist discussions and even private meetings and I met a bunch of smart and dedicated people who waste their time complaining about society and cannot feed even 1 other person outside of themselves. They'd rather talk about the evil bourgeoisie than start an organization that helps their neighbourhood, city or the world as a whole. No I'm taking this conversation out of the realm of philosophy and into the real world. If you can snap your fingers and make it so everyone on earth owns AI equally tomorrow Friday September 25th 2026 that would probably be a good thing, please do that. If you are a basic human like the rest of us I suggest you simply use the AI tools at our disposal to up-skill yourself for your future benefit and that of your loved ones just like I am doing and any other rational and motivated person I know is doing.
