Of course I'm keenly aware of that. I didn't make millions. I made about $300k that way. Of course. I had to grind and scheme my way to a place where I could afford to be truthful. But most people don't become truthful even after they have millions and billions. Look at Joe Rogan or Jordan Peterson. They have so many millions yet contine milking their audience for more. It's insatiable. I have thousands of insights written out on my phone. It takes me longer to post 1 on the blog than to generate 3 new ones on the phone. So my list keeps growing faster than I can publish. It takes me longer to grammar check a blogpost than to generate a new insight.

YT has nerfed search so badly, it doesn't even give what you searched for beyond 5 items. The rest is recommended slop and shorts. YT search is so bad now that I was outraged just because I wanted to avoid the slop engine by searching manually and even that is no longer possible. It's really bad. If your video isn't in the top 5 of search, you might as well be dead.

Yes, I know.

@gengar Sorry to hear of your situation, man. That's very tough. You would benefit greatly from seeing a quality therapist to work out all that trauma and anger. If you have a way to afford it, please do it.

How bad can a 36 year old look?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear of your struggles. Tough situation. That doesn't seem realistic in your situation. How about getting a simple manual labor 9-5 job just to save up some money so you're not trying to launch a business from such a desperate situation. You need some financial cushion to work with. Aren't there some basic jobs around like stocking groceries, delivery boy, truck driver, lawn work, security guard, bar bouncer, etc? Look into something like truck driving. It can pay quite well with little experience. Trucking companies can even offer training and sign-up bonuses. I know merchant marine ships offer great jobs and great pay with zero experience. They offer free training. And you get to travel around the world on a big ship. It's more interesting than normal jobs and offers months of time off. I suggest getting more creative about searching for jobs.

Yes. I am creating a high ethical standard because I care about epistemics. If we don't set the bar high then we end up with epistemic scoundrels running amok on social media.

The button already has $5 and $10 options.

If YT tweaks their algorithm just a bit, my videos literally get hundreds of thousands more views within days. I've seen it happen when they are running short experiments. But then they always end up cutting algorithm changes that send me more views, because it isn't profitable to them. If the algo favors you, you can get a million views in a day. But yes, on top of that viewers are also shallow and don't care. So Google serves up the slop they love. It's like health food competing against junk food. The junk food always wins. I am in the business of serving the healthiest food and people are addicted to junk, but also Google enables and makes the addiction 10x worse because Google is chasing profits. Google is the drug dealer for junk food for the mind. So of course our minds will be sick.

No. I mean a video to help blackpillers get laid.

I do want to. But it's dangerous if not done very carefully.

I propose the new RAT party. Designed to represent the average American.

@Alexop That's an interesting perspective. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Sounds cringe. Musk still hasn't learned his lesson to stay the hell out of politics and build your robots.

LLMs are doing intuition. They just lack general intelligence.

Rorschach Snare catches dirty sparrow!

She's a poet

That can be argued. He spreads a lot of misinformation to his audience as he got audience captured. His ideology-spreading is harmful to his audience and if he wasn't so blinded by the fame and success, he could be more truthful. Getting as audience and algorithm captured as JP has is unethical in my opinion. He's profitted a lot from stoking culture wars, which is harmful to democracy. As a mature doctor he has a responsibility to not stoke the culture wars. He abandoned that responsibiliy to maximize his fame and success. That's what I find disgusting.

Of course from his POV it all feels organic and authentically motivated. But he is slyly milking the drama and the culture wars. He sees himself as genuine crusader. But he took the opportunity to perfectly align his crusading with mega fame and wealth. It's all very convenient for him despite his crocodile tears. Each crocodile tear earns him $1 million dollars. This cannot go un-called-out. His tricks may fool himself and his audience, but they ain't fooling me. He's a highly crafty devil.

Having considered all the evidence, I retract my original opinion and agree there is plenty of self-deception and corruption in what Aubrey is doing. But the girls are also playing their part.

JP exploited culture war politics to gain mega fame and wealth. He is a master of milking woke drama. Which is quite disgusting.

Aubrey's ex shares her insights:

I think AGI is possible, but would require a new structural breakthrough, not just a bigger LLM.

Nope. Intelligence is not a set of rules.
