  2. FIFA World Cup 2026 thread

    LordFall replied to Someone here's topic in Off-Topic: Pop-Culture, Entertainment, Fun

    To me I have a hard time living vicariously through others. I have played soccer and basketball growing up, I wasn't particularly good at them though. I am particularly good at esports, I was Challenger in league of legends and still didn't really care about watching the world series or LCS. I mean since you touched on the masculinity part I'll bring it back down to utilitarianism, I'm quite masculine but I mostly value things that can benefit me not watching another man fulfill his goals. To be fair it's a function of extroversion and introversion probably, my feelings are in my bubble as an INTP.
  3. I think it's good and this will allow the true competitive advantages of AI to really shine as opposed to the hype components. The tech bros have gone too wild with this stuff and being careless with data centers have truly endangered people. They should roll it out responsibly. My concern is that China seems to be more cutthroat with it and won't care as much about AI regulations and will thus win the AI race but the US won't let that happen so it will be an epic showdown that's for sure.

  5. My business is stuck

    Read these books. To gain clarity in business you need to understand who you are as a person, what your skills are and what problems you can solve for other people. You then structure that into a profitable offer and that's the start of a business. Leads are people that you can reach out to about your offer and convert them into paying customers. That's the process of sales and marketing. I haven't read the $100M leads yet but the offer book has been so good in helping me gain clarity in my business. I have it on my bookshelf right next to me here. The audiobooks are free on Spotify from Alex himself and you can get the physical hardcopies for like $30 on Amazon.

  7. Cool story bro
  8. I agree with most of the most, you need proper mindsets and paradigms otherwise you can ruin your dating life by just what you believe. Competence breeds confidence though and it grows more and more over time. I've seen people that were delusionally confident with nothing to back it up and reality usually slaps them in the face. It's a goodbaseline to start from though. I disagree that you can't "get more confident through a night" though, that's what people call state or flow state. If you try to approach a group of engaged people right off the bat being low energy then it'll not work as well as when you're already flowing and have a good baseline. I think it probably depends on the person though if you're really extroverted perhaps you can summon it from thin air but I think it's difficult for most people and particularly introverts.
  9. No. AGI is not a vague term. And no, we do not have anything close to AGI. AGI is human level intelligence. No LLM is capable of that. AGI is able to understand things outside of its training data. LLMs cannot do that. Don't even try to act like they can.
  10. To some extend we already have AGI. AI can solve many jobs in economy already. its not a problem. The infrastructure is not ready yet.
  11. This is what AI says about it " Hormozi admits a few massive caveats in the text that explain where that scale weight actually came from: Severe Rebound / Muscle Memory: He explicitly states he was "returning from a layoff from training" and had lost a ton of weight prior to this due to opening a gym. When a trained athlete rebuilds muscle they previously owned, glycogen stores refill, water rushes back into the cells, and the body regains size rapidly." That's indeed dishonest phrasing meant to mislead peple. I think he grew a lot since then and his current content is much more veriable and top notch from what I've seen and I read his book and learned a lot from it. It's quite practical and can be tested immediately in terms of making a more valuable offer for customers. Right, so much dragon combat. I'm looking forward to the season finally, AI spoiled it for me accidently but I'll say it's gonna be epic. Have you watched a knight of the seven kingdoms? That's also sweet and more slice of life instead of focusing on the high lords of Westeros. He looks great to me, his look is particularl but he looks like a 42 year old with good skincare. I think perhaps you're used to people in their 40s being more wrinkly and this is your baseline for normal aging? I think this is gonna become more and more disrupted as anti aging procedures become more mainstream and what you consider "creepy looking" is gonna vary wildly based on personal interpreation and what people value.
  12. he always looked like that
  13. I fucking love this.

  14. Men of the forum - Respect / Love

    trenton replied to Natasha Tori Maru's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    @Natasha Tori Maru Personally I want both. I want someone to love and respect me. I lean toward respect because love is too ambiguous. Love is ambiguous enough that a narcissist or psychopath could say I love you. It is also possible for an alcoholic to love you in that state even while they actively beat and rape you due to impaired judgment. I also remember that "pedophile" literally means "child lover." Pedophiles deeply love our children, but they don't respect them. Love would be better if it were concretely defined. Otherwise, "I love you" could easily mean, "I don't want you to break my heart because I am very possessive to the point that if you don't do as I say I will cut off your private parts. I also really love it when you buy me new clothes and a car with all of your life savings! I love you so much babe! I'm glad you will never leave me, right?" (Brandishing a knife) I actually met people who were in these types of relationships. They had wedding plans, but they were cancelled. I remember there is also the Yandere. "If I can't have you, then no one can! I love you so much that I will end your life right now!" Love is extremely unreliable unless it is concretely defined. Before someone says "I love you" it will need to be discussed in detail to define what exactly is meant by such a statement. Otherwise, it could be something like a mother having a psychotic breakdown to the point that she protects her baby from harm by committing infanticide. Love is a scary thing
  15. Well precisely That is what is so scary (to us) about this whole thing. That there is no distinction between human and synthetic mind. Notice that only solipsism overcomes this dilemma.
  16. You've essentially answered "how do you define intelligence?" with "I define intelligence as intelligence." AGI is an equally vague term, so if you want to use it as your criterion for intelligence, you need to define what you mean by AGI too. To demonstrate why that's necessary: LLM agents check most of the boxes in the standard definition of AGI below. They possess all of the traits to some degree (some in greater measure than humans, others less) so the only thing that could disqualify them is the degree to which they're better or worse than humans at each one.
  17. You're welcome. Hopefully it helps yourself and others avoid painful experiences. This is a cool way to look at it and ground yourself. That's the gift of a psychical reality, if becoming more conscious would change it too much then we couldn't appreciate greater insights as it would ruin materialism. You can still have sex, make money, take a walk in the park, chill with your boys and have meals with your family.
  18. Yes, that why I said you are the knowing that cannot be known. You are infinity in-finite, captured one freeze frame at a time infinitely unfolding eternally.
  19. Yes this is called solipsistic delusions. If your experience is the real reality and outside of it there is nothing then what about Hawaii? Aren't you in Europe? Be careful with word games that can easily be disproven, hallucinations are very common things. It's possible to channel God and different spirits perhaps, just ground it in the scientific method otherwise the barrier between what is only in your head and a delusion and what you can bring to reality is going to be huge. We have to define terms. A lot of homeless people think they are rich and abundant. It can be true depending on your definition of such concepts, life is abundant. If they mean rich by being able to have access to currency and partake in the human trading system i.e. having a well stocked bank account then obviously that's disprovable. I mean real life and real reality that which you are experiencing while in interaction with others. You are communication with us on a forum not really through your mind but through a computer/phone that uses the internet to connect to other users worldwide. You are not telepathically communicating with anyone on the forum to write posts. Perhaps your mind is touching ours but we'll leave that to the realm of the intangible.
  20. @phillyvx I remember having my first glimpse of truth and it was quite unsettling. But then one day I realized reality hadn't changed one bit. What did change was the way I viewed it.
  21. This is a ridiculous statement, that's how all conscious beings came about. Even if you believe in non-duality that that humans didn't really come from the big bang or whatever then why can't AI also become as conscious as any human or even more? Your viewpoint is not based in concrete science just fear of competition I feel like. What makes you say this? Definite the AGI that you're talking about because real AGI is basically almost here. There is already recursive leaning which is just AI learning from itself and AI agents that are generally intelligent and don't just work on narrow purposes. They are quite bad but the concept is basically already be better and will take off wildly in the next 1-2 years. Why not? What do you define as truly original? Most insights come from synthezing part of what we've experienced in reality in novel ways so I'm not convinced that even humans can have truly original insights. We should have these discussions based on actual concrete definitions and things we can point to instead of being confident about gut feelings IMO

    LordFall replied to Natasha Tori Maru's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    Sure, it's a sense of responsability. Both people should add value to the relationship but why are you scared of leadership? If shit goes down you want to take care of your woman, no? I think that's fundamentally one of the core differences between masculinity and feminininity, one wants to protect and the other wants to be taken cared of. Now of course both people get taken care of in a relationship(hopefully) but things in life are never equal even if it's 55/45. I guess you could also look at it in terms of leadership in different domains of the relationship like raising children vs providing economically. If one party stops leading then the relationship stagnates the way I look at it. Life is based on entropy at the moment.
  24. And yet you can capture Infinity via its own nature. Because you are that. The trick is not to use a finite tool- but to be the thing itself. One cannot point at a thing and properly demonstrate the thing. No. One must dive in and morph, if you will, into the thing, full throttle. And then - looking out through its eyes - then it can understand.
  25. I don't understand how Mark Manson became so creepy looking. He looks like he sleeps once a week.
  26. They might go overboard with regulating it, but i would rather have that than the US technocracy. They can ease up on it later if they want to. Its not like they are missing out on anything by not becoming a competitive on the global market. Subsidize one Australia based AI company and they are good to go.
