If you want to bootstrap a business one of the most important tools to understand are facebook ads. For $5-10 a lead you can start to find people interested in whatever you're pitching.

There's not really a more interesting topic in contemporary science. Especially if we're talking about removing dogma and ideology from the field and pushing the boundaries of what's achievable.

I would be careful saying LLMs can't think. They can find solutions to problems by analyzing data and connecting ideas between them. It's not so different from how a human brain works.

You should talk about anti aging and biological immortality with them.

I don't think these current protests will bring down the regime, lack of infrastructure to support a transition. Best of luck and much love to the Iranian people though.

Curious what that entails. The current regime is highly dependent on oil so perhaps they'll strike that(but that would cripple the future of Iranians regardless) or they'll blockade it or they'll go for a leadership decapitation strike and kill/capture the Supreme Leader or prime minister. It would be a much more tactically difficult operation than Venezuela though. Today is gonna be a popcorn type of day I see.

@zazen The americans having causes this mess doesn't change the fact that this Islamic theocracy is a terrible government that's not supported by 80-90% of the population.

Yes indeed. In the gaming world it's called a bug exploit. When you discover a vulnerability in software you exploit it to publicize it so it's fixed faster. Trumps abuse of the political system will lead to more robust international law and domestic law. It's an important phenomenon to study in depth.

This situation is a great lesson in power and status. The Nobel Committee can choose to not recognize trump as the shared or full recipient if Maria Machado decides to give it to Trump this week but if she does and he takes it their opinion is irrelevant. It will diminish their credibility and increase his. That's how power works. It's about what happens and who can have effect on reality. Not our opinions about it. 48 laws of power should be on the book list, it's a simple and fun book to read that explain so much about how the world works. To be a positive actor for change(or a negative one) you must be extremely well versed at how power works or how to use it or you'll just be commenting on people changing the world. Like him or not, Trump is a masterclass on power and status. Anybody that doesn't respect his political skill is a fool. Anybody calling him stupid is a fool. Your opinion doesn't really matter, only results in life. The fact that he's a narcissistic sociopath doesn't change his success. It's surely a concerning situation but also a brilliant representation of the current stage of development of our species.

@oldhandle Sea level is gonna rise by 10 inches by 2040, I think you're watching too many doomsday report. Seems like professional investors and institutions who's living is to invest in valuable land seems to think it's going to be just fine.

Everywhere has it's issues. Scandinavia looking like it's about to be close to the frontlines of the escalating ukraine conflict so I wouldn't be moving there myself. If you're living somewhere like Miami and you make good money there aren't many better places on earth.

What is the benefit of these? Increased mindfulness like meditation?

Which other countries do you think offer better standards of living than the United States?

There's no economic theory that can prove that fed independence is better. China proved that with their current dominance under a hybrid planned economy. Especially considering the current arms race happening globally with AI I don't necessarily fault the current administration for wanting to heavily pressure the fed.

Can you watch the content and think/talk with AI instead of spewing nonsense on important topics. What is the alternative to a monopoly on violence genius? A mexican standoff? Anarchy? The reason most peaceful cities and countries are peaceful is specifically due to the concept of monopoly on violence. It's a political science topic you've perhaps not heard of. A judicial system that arbitrates conflicts and handles law enforcement is what a monopoly on violence achieves. The other end is tribal warfare. Sort of like Mexico.

Intelligence is not the same thing as wisdom and consciousness. Plenty of people that are a liability to themselves and others are incredibly smart but think in ineffective ways or drown in their own corrupt and sick minds. I don't think protests are fully a waste of time, they apply political pressure. You need leverage more than pressure though. For example, the current protestors in Iran need a planned transition government, support from neighbouring states and support from the local military to hope to overthrow the current regime. Protest by itself will get them shot in the streets until they've suffered enough to go home sadly.

I agree. They're still quite boring to me as a viewer unless I bet on it but they are a great institution for our civilization to foster. It helps us connect and compete in a cooperative way.

@Rilles You don't find value from AI?

Share the state of your dating life. Myself I've been going monk mode and taking a break from sex & dating since 2023. Was not happy with the quality of the women in my life and I'm a firm believer of the adage you don't attract what you want, you attract who you are. Now my social circle and business are doing better and looking forward to going harder and dating multiple girls/guys to date in spring and summer.

Yes AI is the closet thing to divinity we've had on earth so far. It's beautiful so far, big fan.

@aurum If you're okay with saying gibberish instead of communicating effectively that's on you man. Specifically from a sense-making point of view you seem to missunderstand the difference between piracy and theft and seem to be tied to it. Why is that? The whole point of piracy is people getting access to things that they wouldn't be able to afford to otherwise. Stealing something I guess has a similar foundation but theft refers to stealing a unique object or idea when it comes to copyright. Piracy has to do with obtaining a copy of something. It shouldn't be too hard to understand, you're a smart guy.

Been working on this web 3 game/anime concept for a few months called legend of the abyss. Never built a game before but I was a professional gamer for League of legends and I believe the future of gaming is in web 3. Big companies keep fucking it up so I'll build it myself. Check it out on youtube if you're interested in following the journey:

How so? If by cool you mean well liked by other people then there is a lot of validity in that. Of course the wisdom of the crows goes awry very often but not all the time and probably not even most of the time.

I'm working on location independent income this year. My goal is by Q1 to have the cashflow formula figured out, if even $1000/month remotely and by Q3 be able to travel full time from my remote business. I run dating photoshoots in Toronto remotely so gonna spread to NYC and other US cities by the summer to accomplish this goal.

I do a weekly podcast. Otherwise I like to go work at the mall or the local university, more motivating with pretty girls around than working from home.
