  1. No one said they couldn't. Please be more nuanced.
  2. The key is to handle the situation so it doesn't feel awkward. That can be done various ways and depends on context. If you set up cheap dates like coffee or ice cream then it's easy to pay. Do not set up fancy expensive 3 course dinner dates.
  3. It is impossible to know what the right diet is for someone other than yourself. And even for yourself it will be tricky. None of these diet gurus know what they are dealing with. They are selling fantasies to earn money and spreading group-think. Figure out what works for you. That's the bottom line.
  4. No
  5. You have no idea what a person needs. Do give people such advice or you will harm them. All these diets are fantasy. It is self-deception. Be careful what you are doing.
  6. Maybe his death played some role in that.
  7. Dude, he's not micro-managing all of Twitter. You guys read and project way too much into minor things.
  8. I've tried all that. Eating healthy was my default before my health problems got serious. Health is complicated and good hippies vibes is not enough when it fails. I tried all the hippie stuff and none of it works.
  9. That doesn't follow.
  10. Not yet
  11. Part of my growth process. I got sick of all routines, sick of all human things. Also health problems made it difficult to keep routines. But the pendulum will swing back around.
  12. AI and the entire tech market is so over-hyped right now that any little thing could spark an implosion. It's like a giant tinder bundle just waiting for a stray spark. The spark could be anything and it doesn't have to be something profound because there's so much hot air. The spark could be Trump, China, Russia, inflation, tariffs, a bad jobs report, a bad earnings report, a crypto rug pull, a spike in oil prices, Iran, a terrorist attack, whatever. Chances are it will be something out of the blue and then people will sprint towards the exits in a stampede.
  13. I have no daily routine. I stopped even having a routine for showering or brushing my teeth.
  14. Again, calling him a Nazi is not an accurate understanding of his worldview or behavior, in my opinion. Calling people Nazis is sloppy sense-making in most cases. The goal should be accuracy, not fearmongering or woke-scolding. There is plenty to criticize Musk about without calling him a Nazi. The Nazi label should be reserved for proper Nazis or neo-Nazis. Calling MAGA Nazis is not correct in most cases.
  15. Yes. After I finish my training. In my whole life I've played less than 100 games of chess. So I gotta train up before I play humans. Ask me again in 6 months.
  16. Unless it's efficient enough to not need those crazy server farms. If you think about it, a human brain does not need a nuclear powerplant worth of energy to do AGI. So this crazy hardware scaling may be the wrong approach. Locally run AI might be the better way.
  17. But those can probably be easily cloned. What prevents anyone from just cloning any AI? That's the issue.
  18. What's interesting about these chatbots is that they seem to not offer much monopoly potential. There's no "secret sauce" or brand to them to justify buidling a trillion dollar company. They are too generic, AI as a commodity. The truly profitable AI will need to be much more specialized than a chatbot and more integrated with special hardware or special software. The real profits are probably more in stuff like robotics.
  19. Contemplation applies to all domains, all activities. But it must not be used to avoid experience or getting hands-on with things. Whatever limits contemplation may have ought to be contemplated to be understood. Good contemplation requires experience as grist for the mill.
  20. There is a disturbing trend of streamers getting into weird, twisted sex controversies. Streamer culture is very immature.
  21. Probably because that's what they see others doing, and shamans normalize this sort of behavior. Also the doses used are too high for newbies.
  22. The more interesting question is whether Qi and atoms can be considered equal in reality, or is one more real than the other? That's profound to investigate. Notice that the Chinese also believe in atoms, but westerners don't believe in Qi.
