Of course alpha males exist. You can use the simple adem concept of are you at the cause or the effect? In social groups, dating and in your work, are you at the cause of the things taking place or are you like a leaf blowing in the wind if good things happen you're good and enjoy it and if bad things happen then it's bad and you complain.

Well the good thing is it seems that our civilization is integrating itself and global world peace through monopoly force will be achieved within the next 20 years. Until then you can help accelerate the process. Are you working or volunteering on anything charitable? There's all kinds of suffering in reality, I myself work on helping creatives figuring out a viable career path for themselves. I want to get into food charities though because with automated farming I think we could solve world hunger quite soon as well.

Just put the contract and this post in Gemini and ask it what part to take out. Ideally don't make yourself identifiable and just give an anonymous testimony and tell them to blow you if they push back.

It's good that you're introspecting on which relationship model would work best for you. Not enough people do that and get stuck in societal norms which rarely are optimal for anyone. Personally I'm a bisexual polyamorist and would like to date multiple more submissive partners and ideally work on a collective business together and/or provide for the ones that aren't that productive. I work a lot and have worked on business for a while so seems natural to me to create my own structure outside of established norms. I live in Montreal so alternative lifestyles are pretty normal here. I would say use AI to flesh out and reverse engineer your dream lifestyle and go from there. What I agree with most in your level 3 relationship is the importance on going on a lot of dates to find a compatible partner. Dating is pretty exhausting so most people go on less than 10 dates and settle in a mediocre relationship afterwards. That's pretty wild to me, you should probably go on at least 30-50 dates if you aim to find just one final partner. Have you read through the female dating strategies subreddit? They fall a bit too much into the anti men philosophy but from a woman's perspective, it'll be probably refreshing to read through women fleshing out their ideal relationships. It's not active anymore but you can sort by top and read through the posts. Also in general there are plenty of provider males out there. I am one of them and in general I get dopamine from giving money to a woman and people in general as long as they are appreciative of it. It helps to work on looksmaxxing so you look your best and if by chance you're bisexual I think you're setting yourself up for a much easier ride IMO. https://www.reddit.com/r/FemaleDatingStrategy/

Why don't you want advice? How else will you get our of your situation? I empathize with your feeling of weakness friend but the best antidote for weakness is power and its top proxy : money.

What is genuine AGI to you guys? @Natasha Tori Maru If we don't define the terms then all we can do is keep pushing the goal post further.

Non-duality is a fascinating concept and arguing whether or not witnessing life by definition makes you unmerged from God is beyond the scope of my interest. Throughout this thread you've basically advocated for suicide and seemed to see harm in pursuing more powerful healthcare. That's the concerning part to me. Remember that throughout history most of the scientists that have researched breakthroughs that we now see as regular mundane part of life were seen as bat shit crazy and attacked in their time. This is what you're doing with Bryan Johnson because he stretches the boundaries of our current paradigm. He is helping in popularizing immortality research which is a phenomenal pursuit for mankind.

You are merged with God right now. Experiencing duality is an illusion. Biological life has been fighting itself since the first bacteria was evolved. We will soon reach world peace at the same time as we reach biological immortality and infinite energy through fusion power. You think that's an accident? Being scared of progress is fine, we are in uncharted territory. Masking it in some sort of wisdom towards death is foolish and perhaps even satanic in and of itself. You're basically saying don't worry about fixing the problems of the earth! Just rejoice for the time you die. That makes no sense my friend.

@Lucasxp64 I think you’re spot on regarding the theoretical limitations of a raw, standalone LLM—context drift and error propagation are definitely real hurdles for a pure Transformer model. Looking at this purely through the lens of base model constraints might be missing the bigger picture of how these systems are actually being built now. Nobody is trying to achieve long-term memory or agentic consistency by just cramming a multi-month chat history into a single prompt window. Instead, it’s an engineering and architecture problem. By layering the LLM with cognitive frameworks—like multi-tiered memory systems (combining episodic and semantic storage via RAG), vector databases that handle automated pruning/correction, and external agentic loops—we can bypass a lot of that unreliable nature. The model doesn't need to automatically rewire its own weights on the fly to get unstuck; the surrounding software architecture handles the state management, memory retrieval, and guardrails. For the incommunicable knowledge piece, that's a fair philosophical point for physical mastery or true AGI. But for an AI companion tracking a game raid and remembering personal context, the system just needs data integration (APIs tracking game states) and robust memory indexing. It's less about the AI possessing human intuition and more about clever systems design solving a complex data-tracking problem. The base models have bottlenecks, absolutely, but the scaffolding we build around them is rapidly closing the gap.

I'm sorry my friend but I have to call you out for some of the biggest misunderstanding of spirituality that I've ever seen on this forum. Have you ever taken a psychedelic or done deep introspection? Saying that physical reality is away from God is insanity. You are with God 24/7 there is only god anywhere. The human experiment is for consciousness to evolve in the physical plane. Obviously increasing our lifespan and fixing our healthcare system is the epitome of that and Bryan Johnson is a champion of it. I have to ask where do your strange ideas on this stuff come from?

Most predictions I've seen for AGI even from a few years ago had 2027-2029 as their timeline. Also depends what you mean by artificial general intelligence. Technically an AI agent is already sort of AGI right especially since now you can direct them for different purposes and they work 24/7. @NewKidOnTheBlock I like David Shapiro, shame he went more pessimistic. It's easy to be an optimistic when you're an idea person and see the big picture and the potential of the tech but indeed you have to look at our current economic and political system to see if it's gonna help people as a whole or not. Right now the republican party is gonna be in power until 2028 and possibly until 2032 and they're full pull yourself by your bootstrap and socialism is evil. From all that I've seen it seems like 2027 is gonna be a massive year for layoffs as AI agents are just on the cusp of viability. My prediction is it'll lead to social unrest and hopefully a powerful democratic candidate is gonna champion UBI and the democratization of AI benefit for all. @bazera I see both sides when it comes to this. I think AI is exciting and our biological imperative is adaptation but the economy has been shit for a while and people were already demoralized before this started being a thing. I can't blame new grads for being pissed off that the job market in the next 5 years is gonna be brutal. Have you guys started using AI for business? I'm hopping on it slowly but surely but it's so boring to figure out that I keep procrastinating it lol. It's cool for image generation and worldbuilding though, I started making my own game through it. Way more fun than my actual business.

I came to the conclusion as I post a lot of content that's more chill and less drama heavy since that's my nature. I think it's a good thing but a more medium to long term strategy. Influencers that are drama heavy don't tend to last long if they don't offer value nor keep reinventing themselves. Value takes a long time to form but it has staying power.

Not at all. Being alpha is about being competent and having a strong community behind you(so you have high status.) Once you offer value to people people follow you because life is hard and you become an oasis in their life. What are your top skills and interests at the moment @9735557264 ? @Rigel What exactly do you think is a scam about it?

Best place to start is if you have a nice big place. If not then you have to be a bit more creative. You can: - Make friends with a richer dude and you team up and do more the promoting and he does the hosting. That's what I did with Jeff of the Velvet Network. - Partner up with a venue like a small bar/restaurant and bring people for events regularly. It's win-win for them as most small establishments are totally down to host you for free as they'll make money on the food/drinks and sometimes you can negotiate a % of bar tab if you're consistent. - Rent a studio. There are platforms like peerspace that let you rent various types of venues from like $30-200 an hour. That's how I hosted my first few photoshoots. You can fund it yourself or partner up with other people interested in that type of stuff and split the costs. Socialization because fun IMO when you treat it like a video game. You level up the more you do it and you have to figure out how the system works and once you do you basically rank up and you feel the difference when you hangout with people that have no idea what they're doing. It's also very cool when people start thanking you for hosting stuff and when you say "I'm an introvert, I don't socialize that often" and they go "No way I don't believe you, you know so many people and host the coolest events!"

For me MDMA and the loving kindness meditation have helped me a lot. As well as just more consciousness and knowledge in general to understand where other people are coming from and that what they're doing serves the same goal as me fundamentally. Usually every human being revolves around safety, purpose, belonging and contribution. Whether they're Taliban or college blue hair feminists it's a similar goal just in different ways due to the environment and culture they grew up in.
