I mean don't sell out your women on the internet or otherwise but your woman tattooing your name or symbol on her is very hot. I think you almost had the right model man you're clearly a talented and smart guy. You just have to go back to the basics. Sell a value enhancing product to your customers not something that will addict them like an opioid. If you like working with women and dating a few that's not a bad thing.

I mean almost here, the first ones going on sale for holiday 2026 season. Target price $20,000 with some companies offering $500/month subscription. There are 3 leading robots being released in the next year: 1X NEO, Figure 03 and Tesla optimus

Cool AI characters releasing soon

Surviving to your society is not falling prey to the conformist mindset lol. Humans have had to adapt to changing circumstances since the dawn of time. If you wanna philosophize your way out of it go ahead but it's not gonna help your dating life.

@Valach To each their own, I feel you are spiritually bypassing by trying to moralize your biological drives. You live in a species where dominance hierarchies rule the world and thus you can level up and get access to higher quality mates according to differing standards. Do you dispute this concept entirely? Even self-development makes you higher quality dating partner because you objectively can navigate issues most other people don't care to look into. It's a pretty rational concept. Different people value different things but in general you increase the quality of your dating prospects as you get more abundant in life. Some people find it hard to get anybody to want to date them at all. And then they can improve to become better people and partners.

Seems like you haven't taken the life purpose course or deeply studied life purpose. The cycle of consumption is called commercialization. It's how you judge product market fit. Otherwise known as if another being finds it worthy to pay you money for the product/service that you've put together with your time. If you find most of the products on the marketplace shitty and common then great, that's the start of a superior vision. Watch a lot of Alex Hormozi videos to learn the art of commercialization and start sharing your vision to the marketplace brother/sister. It's fundamentally the best way to become financially independent. Even if you think of a monastery it falls into that same principle. Long ago someone used their time to come up with a philosophy to other humans and someone decided to fund it and then it falls into government funding if you think of buddhist temples or some wealthy patron funds it. Demonizing business and commercialization is very foolish, it's just a framework to allocate time.

Then all current AI models fit your definition. You give it a true statement or a basis of information and it can perceive that information and act in alignment to it. @Scholar Yes those are good points to bring up. I think it's really important to separate consciousness from intelligence because it lies at the crux of the issue and why it should be more interesting to have this conversation on this forum than elsewhere. An ant or a bee is conscious but they are not considered intelligence. Sentience is another word to throw in the mix here to make consciousness more nuanced as with the work we do here we aim to increase consciousness and thus separate ourselves from other sentient human beings that exhibit low consciousness. I think LLMs are already capable of intelligent frameworks and train of thoughts than any human alive today. They are not sentient though and thus need to be infused with our own human consciousness to come up with these intelligent frameworks. I would then consider them a hybrid life form at this point. So we need to fame this AGI debate in terms of sentience because as me and Joshe pointed out, it doesn't need to cross that threshold to completely revolutionize our civilization. It just needs to start to have widespread commercial application. Which are inevitable in my view. And even in the view that some of you seem to take that machines cannot fundamentally develop sentience, I would call this a fundamentally foolish take. Especially since we know that sentience is barely understood and if we believe in non-duality then doesn't even come from organic matter it comes from consciousness itself so why wouldn't consciousness make a limited organic lifeform that easily dies that ends up combining the other forms of reality to create a more resilient lifeform based on computing? Is that really such a hard paradigm to believe in? Seems pretty logical if not inevitable to me.

So what is your definition of intelligence?

@Valach You just have one massive blindspot in your argument. Once you fix your trauma and codependence issues and not being enough then probably you will still want to date attractive women. You're just doing it from a place of genuine desire now instead of loneliness and desperation. Which is great I totally recommend doing that, heal your relationship with life and your childhood trauma. And then learn to level up and get abundance. You can't skip that step if you're looking for the highest quality dating life. I think most people want a deeply meaningful life with a powerful life purpose with a trusted romantic companion at their side(or many of them.)

Biological immortality is coming in the next 20 years

48 laws of power You need power to have success in the world otherwise you will ultimately not be able to be impactful.

Their combat ability is already lethal, it's over for humans on battlefields.

There is no real need to learn foreign languages anymore outside of interesting and hobby. Real time live translation is starting to become excellent. I'm ready for the robot era I think it'll change the world for the better. After everything unfolding in the US I'm also no longer really concerned about chinese imperialism. It seems their way to spread over the world is about internal consolidation and state stability instead of moral superiority masking great degeneracy. The epstein files gave me great hope for world peace as it completely destroyed the aura of superiority of the western system in my view. We are now exposed as a globally totally flawed species and only advancements in politics and technology can save us.

Absolutely which is why I think it's important to work on your game to the point where multiple attractive women find you attractive and then picking a partner from that. Otherwise the road to codependence and not being appreciated as a man is more than a slippery slope more like an express elevator. Being used for your secondary characteristics as a human is usually a bad feeling. For women that's being used for beauty/sex and for men it's being used as a provider/emotional safety tampon.

The problem with your argument is the average person is also like that. It's a lot of the human condition not particularly with people that choose to improve their social skills.
