Trump pervert caught red-handed. https://www.instagram.com/p/Da3STNwle3K/ These people are so comically corrupt.

The problem is it's a very logical topic which is too serious for a first date. You should keep things fun and light. Why are you talking about something so serious with someone who probably isn't into it? Giving your date an existential crisis in not the way to go.

Duplicate topic.

Eben Pagan's dating courses are top notch. It's not pickup, but more general dating advice. For pickup, old RSD is mostly all you need.

The Fly is interesting too.

Alien and Aliens are probably the best horror films.

That is peak horror though.

Tremors and Tremors 2 are some of my fave films. Light horror. I don't like jump-scares though.

That is debatable. Touche.

Oh, you mean like science does?

That is not my take. But most horror is pretty trashy, and wading through to find the good ones is already going to fill your mind with junk. Those images of horror will tend to stick in your mind. This does not mean that excellent horror films don't exist. But as a whole, I'm not a fan of that category. And I'm not saying you are wrong if you enjoy horror films. I like A Quiet Place, for example. Not sure if you consider that horror.

Yes. Yes it is.

Cult discussion is over. If you think Actualized.org is cult. Leave. Save yourself while you still can.

Just a reminder, anyone who calls Actualized.org a cult on here will be instantly banned. Take your idiocy elsewhere.

I am serious. I will ban everyone on this forum who is incapable of learning. I am not kidding. Tread carefully. I am not going to argue with you about core things endlessly.

You take me for an idiot. It it amazing you still do that after everything I taught.

Of course I know that. That doesn't mean you won't get lost in local details at the loss of the big picture. I don't deny that local details affect the big picture, just that people are using the local details to get the wrong picture. There is no generic solution to this problem. It's all depends on case-by-case. That's way too oversimplified. I have not said otherwise. You are looking for things to argue with me over now.

@Joshe The problem I have with the arguement you guys are making here on AI is that you are trying to win the argument on narrow technical ground: "Leo hasn't used LLMs to code, so he doesn't see how useful it is." But this muddles a larger point. The larger point is that even that AI will underperform in the long-run when all factors are taken into account. I concede the point that I have not coded with AI. I am looking at the big picture.

Sure, that is called relativity. But the difference is that I created this platform and teachings. I am responaible for leading this place. I have to make decisions about who is suitable to be here and who is not. If he wants to teach his own thing, I am happy for him to do so in a space of his own making. But I am not going to be here every day listening to him.

@Ero I understand science deeper than any scientist. No scientist has ever explained science as deeply as me. Scientists cannot even imagine what I understand about how science works. But, I do not know the technical minutia of anything. I do not even care. As far as AI, of course I am not an AI expert. I am talking about AI as a social hype phenomenon. I am talking about the sociological and investing aspects of AI. I know you guys have not invented AGI. I do not have the gift of yap, I have the gift of understanding. Also, keep in mind that the stuff I share on my blog about AI is a tiny fraction of what I have studied. I don't share everything with you.

I am not kidding at all. If I see that someone is too closedminded to learn from me, I will stop letting them have access to me. My time is valuable and I will not waste it debating with closedminded. If I was not on this forum, I would not care. But since I am here, there must be limits. Any other teacher would do the same. No serious teacher will endlessly argue with closedmindedness. If you cannot learn what is being taught, the class is too advanced for you.

But what does this say about AGI and the bubble? Does your direct experience explain whether the bubble will pop?

@Ero You found a couple of things that you can ridicule me on and blown them out of all proportion. The net result of that will be that you deprive yourself of deeper understanding and teachings. I have never said that you can't use mysticism to deepen science. Of course you can. That's what I teach. My criticisms of science have been very sharp, so I can see how you take that as caricature. However, every point I make about science is still valid. That can make it seem like I am anti-science but I'm really not. I just never talk about the valid parts of science. I am also not anti-AI. I am anti AI hype and mechanical madness. How you do know what homework I have done? Just because my view differs from yours on AI does not mean I haven't done homework. Your views of me are very much of your own making. "Weasles, bigots, and rats" -- you lack a sense of humor about this.

But it's not stupid. This is a common issue that many people will have with learning this material. So I am happy to address it. There are good lessons all around here. It's not argument, it's ultimately about proper understanding.

You. Because you expect unreasonable things of me. You expect me to not get things wrong just because I teach epistemology. That is not what was ever promised you. There is no mismatch at all. I have never been above mistakes or self-deception. That's exactly the attitude I was talking about. You really think I don't have more profound things to teach? Then you really are kidding yourself. Your mind is already closed to learning. All I want from you is guys is open minds, and you struggle to do it.
