This post is for @Leo Gura and really any other that believe in an AI crash. I will seek to prove that this is basically impossible and AI companies are already in the too big to fail category and ChatGPT moving towards military industrial complex instead of a business to consumer model is a proof of that. The whole reshoring manufacturing of America over the next 10 years is based on their tech supremacy. Remember the whole meme of american workers retuning to work in factories? Obviously that will not happen and the US will aim to be a robotics and automation leader, which it's already well positioned to do. A K shaped crash will absolutely happen and will serve in further squeezing the middle class into nothing as their labor becomes literally obsolete. Leo your idea that AI value is based on AGI is misguided. AI value prop is based on enterprise workforce. The whole overinflated valuation of the market is based on the premise that AI agents can replace human employees en masse. That premise is still up in the air but as someone who works with AI tools and automation daily I'd say it's already a done deal, the macro forces are just too powerful and humans not adaptable enough. It's also heavily based in the military industrial complex really as you print money to make top tier weapons with which you secure global trade and force countries into doing commerce under your umbrella and get rich off of financialization and exporting the USD. The US has just proved in its Maduro operation and its Iran strikes that their military supremacy is as unchallenged as ever and the whole tech-AI industry fits right into that. Having said this I would say that claiming that an AI bubble crash is imminent or even likely has a MASSIVE BURDEN OF PROOF under it and I invite anybody to try and make an argument and case for it. I'm pretty confident that the corporate layoffs we've been seeing will keep accelerating throughout this year and it's highly likely that Trump and his Tech buddies will introduce some sort of UBI promise this year with the primaries to secure their votes and burry their epstein scandal further.

How about this I would love to have you have a philosophical debate/epistemology debate with an AI agent live. I bet it would already be way more profound than you give it credit for. Come up with a topic of your choice and something like Gemini Voice will can talk you through live. And you should use the cute girl voice setting why have a dude voice be your AI debate guest.

It was my bad I should not escalate conflict on the forum but I mean if we are to really take this to a true epistemic battle I give you all permissions to put any of my arguments to the test and paste them into any LLMs and ask it if what I'm saying lacks critical thinking or logic and usually when I put effort into them they should stand the best but I say some dumb shit all the time too so who knows but it's all love from my side.

Yes being authentic is one of cornerstones of game. I didn't watch it but I think chess players are definitely attractive. There are many female ones that have brands and they seem like cool people that are also smart. Definitely got a crush on Andrea Botez.

I guess that statement applies to women as well but I'll focus on the male dating view in this post. I see a lot of comments both on this forum and on social media in general of people being over dating saying that it's a shallow activity or that they've been there done that and seen all there is in the field. Thankfully I think those are people are extremely foolish and misguided and I'll make my case here as to why. Life has levels and dating has levels. It also has skills. This means that you lack the amount of skill necessary to achieve your dating goals. This is a good thing because it means that it's in your control to learn and change and that it's not fundamentally rigged against you. People have different goals but I'll boil it down to finding someone you're deeply attracted to and compatible with and together building an awesome life that you enjoy living. It sounds like a simple task but I've rarely seen someone achieve it and I've met douzens of couples and hundreds of game guys. Let's break it down a bit further. People settle hard big time. I don't know if they're fully conscious that they're doing it or if they brain makes a subconscious of calculation that they're out of bandwidth to handle more of the pain of existence by themselves but they seem to give up and settle for mediocre partners. The basic promise and "quest" of pickup is that you'll be able to sleep with and date 10s. It's actually a common trope for guys into pickup to end up with attractive women that have serious mental health issues and usually a diagnosed condition like BPD(Borderline personality disorder.) It makes perfect sense because humans are multifaceted. BPD literally manifests as having an unstable sense of self and personality and if you're a man that hasn't found himself yet and is in the process of building his life then it's basically your counterpart. So to have a high quality relationship we need both a partner that is highly attractive but also mentally healthy and compatible with us otherwise the relationship will turn to a nightmare(been there myself, would not recommend.) So you need both to have worked on yourself as a man and on your ability to attract beautiful in demand woman and also have worked on your boundaries and abundance so that you don't tolerate toxic and unstable women in your life. You also need to find those women that are beautiful and also are compatible with your mission and interest. Meaning that you need to have some social circle game because you don't usually find those women at a random club/bar or on dating apps. Leo himself I believe fell into this trap because I do believe he's talked about dating beautiful IG models in Vegas but hasn't found some that would be compatible with his journey and lifestyle. This is not impossible, it's just hard. Status works like an aggregate of all other positive qualities meaning that to be a man at the top of multiple social circles you can't be a manipulator type with no substance as a social circle means that you're exposed to people long term and they get to know you; you have to consistently show up and offer value. Let's now talk about finances, to have the time and money to be able to dedicate a large amount of time to your dating life you need to have a great and flexible career or business that frees you economically. Which is what 5-10% of guys? You can try to do it without this but then you have various ceilings in your dating life like the ability to relocate and the ability to host your own events or paying to get into other high status events. Now who do you know that has achieved all of this or a big chunk? Probably no one or not many people. It's not impossible though nor even realistic. If you hangout in high level circles in big city you will see a lot of guys that hit a lot of these buckets. I moved from a bigger city Toronto where I saw guys like this all the time back to a more medium city Calgary and you already see the quality of men go down. Now the foreseeable objection to this is you're exaggerating, plenty of people date and don't go through all this headache. That's true but if you look at those couples a lot of them bicker all the time, have a stressed out and shitty lifestyle, poor sex life, cheat on eachother, etc. Your relationship should be an asset to your life. Your significant other making your life more enjoyable and helping your mission and life purpose. Don't give up on it before you reach this point. If this quest doesn't appeal to you that's fine but at least don't kid yourself and think that you've made it to the top and are now "enlightened" in the dating arts and are moving on to a superior field. As someone who's lived in many cities and seen many high level socialite circles, basically every single person I've seen with this stance is actually pretty mid and delusional. You can very easily test it and throw your own events. If you've sleep with a few cute girls here and there doesn't mean that you're high status lol, doubt you can even host one cool party with many hot girls. I think sex, dating and relationships are a beautiful fascet of life that can teach you infinite amounts about yourself and the world. It can be used as an escape but also for deep personal development and self-actualization. Before you give up on it at least try to picture that your absolute dream dating life would be and seeing if other men are out there living it and you can probably find some who are and learn from them and achieve it too. I think the quest for love for women is a bit different for women than men but for men it closely resembles a video game with different stats that you have to level up to get to your dream life and you guys are way too low level to think you have beaten the game lol. If you do it right it's also fun and exciting, it's not supposed to be an endless painful grind. I saw it clear as day with my friends before I quit doing pickup, they would get laid regularly and purposefully I would notice they would never approach the hottest girls only the mid ones. They had unconsciously figured out their best move and stuck to it. I see a lot of guys in the same boat of giving up on dating or saying they're above pickup when if they're honest with themselves deep down they know that the hottest girls are not into them because they don't have much to offer. It's all good bro life is a video game just pick what you want and level up. Most people underestimate how bad they are at something. I used to be a pro player at league of legends and there was concept called Elo Hell there where because its a 5v5 team game people believed that their bad teammates was holding them back from climbing rankings. But actually you have 4 teammates and there are 5 enemies so bad players help you climb and as a booster that got paid to level up peoples accounts the average player was so bad at the game like not that far off from if they let their dog play the game. Real life is similar why do you think the world is fucked cuz there are experts at finance playing the game and winning. I started hosting modelling events and other high status events and it really showed me how high the ceiling is. I have a guy I throw the events with who's a multimillionaire and we do a podcast together, it's allowed me to meet tons of really cool, interesting and beautiful women and I've only started to dip my toes into what's possible. This is also only in Canada so that doesn't even include international events and trips and events that you can't even unlock unless you're gonna spend multiple tens of thousands just on the entry level. An easy tip for social circle niches is corporate, finance and crypto events. That field attracts really smart and hot women 25-35 that you don't find in the traditional nightlife scene. Yoga and wellness events can also be good but that's not really in my hobbies at the moment so I can't comment. Although one of the coolest events we've ever done was at a spa village, where they have a lot of hot tubs, cold plunges and saunas so that's another cool event to host that's different from anything alcohol related. I've actually put my dating life on hold to work on freeing myself financially and scaling my business. I lived in Toronto and got to the point where I could date decently but the dating life I desire requires way more cashflow than I have now. I aim to take my business fully online and travelling the world with multiple beautiful women before I settle down in somewhere nice that I haven't decided yet. I'm very excited to actualize both my business and dating life and wish the same for you all. God bless and much love.

No it's just a logical way to break down issues, how else would you do it? Women are blessed and cursed with beauty. Female beauty is one of the top forms of capital in the world.

Alright I accept your apology and I apologize as well. Do you like AI in general? I think if you find some cool uses for it personally it makes it less scary and more easy to adapt it as I seriously think it's gonna save us. Look at what the humans are doing to us they're taking us straight to WW3. AI helps gives power back to the people.

@VioletFlame "You don't understand what AI does or what being human is being about. You're taking about substance not structure. All these things are all possible in an AI powered society and probably even more so. Remember that people thought electricity was gonna ruin mankind due to being a demonic force and the amish still don't use it today. AI is about automating labor. The rest is up to you my friend. " I didn't mean to insult you with this. My point was actually basically a socialist point that human existence has been dominated by forced labor throughout history and if this AI technology does free us from that then that will not rob us of our human heart and soul but instead allow it to flourish.

I think Leo has an almost autistic level of scrutinity when it comes to things like this but I think ultimately he is a very pragmatic man and will ultimately becomes a proponent of AI when it starts to overwhelmingly live up to its promises. I would argue that calling AI overhyped is factually incorrect as the technology is so groundbreaking it will soon break our whole economic system and literally our biological reality and make us biologically immortal. Now you can obviously turn right back around and call this again overhyped but I would just say you're wrong and then we can then proceed to have a rigorous intellectual debate around it if you're intellectually honest but you would lose that.

No, I'm objectively right you're literally not using critical thinking and using your feelings not using any piece of data or actual structured argument to make a point. Sorry this is gonna sound rude but a lot of the reason why a lot of people are offended by AI models is because humans don't use logic when making their points their just vent their feelings and hope people agree with them and get mad when they don't like you're saying. But if you want we can go piece by piece and break down your argument and I'll prove I'm right. That's the whole point actualizing to deconstruct yourself and your ideas right? You use ad hominems and moving the goal posts. AI girlfriends was never the main point of my post, you're responding on a thread on an economic analysis of AI industry being in the state of a bubble and likely causing a crash. Even if I wanted to move my position back to defending AI companions I think I would probably do that successfully, feel free to make a specific claim around that industry and we can talk about it.

Selfishness is ranked above shame in the scale of consciousness. I know you meant it well but look at sneaky self-deception is, you're looking for sympathy and validation instead of taking action on the goal of being selfless and less selfish. What are you going to do in the next week and month to reduce your selfishness? Volunteer? Donate? What do you have that is valuable to give out to others? State it and we will hold you accountable to it @Spiritual Warrior

@VioletFlame See, you've proven that you not only lack critical thinking skills but are also antagonistic as well as lacking reading comprehension skills. I have plenty of conversations with real women, I literally run a podcast around it. Because I find it necessary to call you out on your lazy point on AI doesn't mean you should get so mad. Attack the point not the person.

Too long; didn't watch Gis od damn do I hate when people link videos without context. I will provide more value from my post than yours even though it's completely unrelated with this analysis of Palpatine from Star Wars I've been getting more into Star Wars these past few months and it's shocking how much political detail there is that I didn't catch on to as a kid. Incentives is a good thing to study as you can see after watching the video Palpatine has no good incentive just personal power and no redeeming moral qualities. It seems that Ali Khomenei is somewhat to Palpatine in terms of using secret police and violent authoritarianism to enforce his control over society. They are 62% similar according to Gemini.

If you considered satanism to be a low version of reality then your comment would fall as such in terms of the refusal to use your brain and just lash out in anger. @enchanted What were the pier's main points? I didn't watch it but according to Gemini the Iranian guy checkmated himself when Piers correctly pointed out that he can't criticize the regime because he lives under a violent authoritarian regime and the professor indeed refused to do so and changed the subject

Money is very spiritual. It's literally a means of accounting life energy. If you think you can reach a lot of people and impact their lives without money, business and marketing skills than I mean that seems like a fool's errand to me. I think of spiritual people that are very against money to just be spiritually bypassing. If you think of yourself above money then that's just another form of spiritual arrogance. Teal swan has hundreds of free videos on her channel that she's spent tens of thousands of dollars hiring an editing team and content team to put out and produce. That's not enough for you? She has to go out and make continuous free events without renumeration? Why? Why is expecting other entities to work for you, spend their limited time and suffer to do so for free? You can absolutely take advantage of vulnerable people and charge more than they're able to afford due to their desperation and through cult like manipulation but summarizing the mere act of a commercial transaction as such is delusional IMO.

For someone who prides themselves on human intelligence I would argue that this is a pretty low intelligence comment. Technology enhance our cognitive power, such as been its result since the dawn of time. You're writing because someone made tech that allowed us to transmit knowledge in written form as opposed to orally. People thought that would make us dumber. Not just random people. Socrates himself in fact. People thought the internet would ruin the world. Here you are making your arguments on it. An AI model can help you isolate the main ways in which the war in Iran will affect your local economy and how that will affect food prices and energy prices and how that will affect unemployment in your area. You can take this information and go talk to your city council and make an initiate out of it. Or you could turn off your internet access and try to become a world class economist in your bedroom by yourself. Good luck. Ironically 90% of the comments that accuse AI of ridding humanity of critical thinking lack much if any critical thinking. Who whoulda thunk.

A lot of graphic design and marketing jobs have already and will keep being lost due to AI being able to replicate template very effectively at this point. This guy explains all his past work as put into an AI model and now his company could just produce stuff that's 80% as good instantly. That was a year ago so god knows how much more powerful the models have gotten by now.

You don't understand what AI does or what being human is being about. You're taking about substance not structure. All these things are all possible in an AI powered society and probably even more so. Remember that people thought electricity was gonna ruin mankind due to being a demonic force and the amish still don't use it today. AI is about automating labor. The rest is up to you my friend.

From a childhood MMO I've played for years, Dofus.

Bro you have what's called an ideology. Campaigning against communication not being censored is wild mate, what is wrong with you.

This is beautiful, this will soon mark the end of human deaths in warfare. It's already so politically hard for any government with a semblance of a trust based society to go make their soldiers die for them but if from I believe in the next few year when these can be deployed as platoons for on ground situations like in Iran right now it will be mostly unconstitutional to send human soldiers to die in wars.

Also to keep it to a more grounded topic, reminder that 2.3 billion people on earth face moderate food insecurity and hundreds of million are in crisis level or worse. Industrialization has already freed up most of away from agricultural concerns and the coming waves of agricultural automation will I believe help alleviate global food insecurity.

I was talking with Leo today about using AI to make video games and he didn't believe AI would be that helpful so here is my devlog to prove otherwise! I have been ideating this world building project for around 4 months now and mainly using AI for generative images and lore building but I fundamentally wanna make a game out of it as I think that medium is more powerful than something like just a manga or an anime which I do also plan on making eventually. I don't have experience in game development, my main related skills would be in marketing and content creation. I tried my hands at unity a couple months ago and it was I mean not too bad but really frustrating and I got as making this square on the blue background that you see below but it was a very empowering feeling. I really like this video that I watched here That basically warns you about trying to take on an overly ambitious game project and making your dream game right away and instead trying to ship modular projects that work and are profitable and build upon that over years to eventually build your dream game. I like this idea especially as my dream game is a VR web 3 MMORPG, and mmos are notoriously hard to build but I want particularly one with a well developped economy that ties into the real world so I think that will encounter even more novel issues. My current idea is to make a simple 2D roguelite game as a MVP test project and build upon my ideas from this foundation. I think it's possible to bootstrap by myself with just mostly my time and a few hundred dollars of budget in tools to kick things off. I'm gonna use the Unity engine as it's free for startups and seems like a powerful engine both to make the 2D version of the game and eventually transfer the game assets to VR. I think there is a very powerful feedback look that's able to be utilized these days where you take on a project and document yourself building the game(in this context but can be anything) and that serves as your initial userbase and community to launch the game when it's ready. I've followed a few people that did it this way and it seems to be a very powerful way to bootstrap your own game studio basically. I used to play a lot of League of Legends and did got paid for it for a while. Made it to challenger which is top 0.01% of playerbase and that was really fun and I feel like Riot did a great job building a community in their game that was the biggest in the world at that time and I met many friends in real life that also played the game so it was a great social experience as well. I feel that they built a lot of cool stuff around their IP like the show arcane, esports world championship tournaments and local leagues but it fell short of what I think a gaming ecosystem could be. I'm a big believer in web 3 and eco investing in a gaming ecosystem with your playerbase instead of just squeezing them for cosmetics in exchange of a fun consumer experience. For example as a league player I invested something like 20 000 hours into my account, got a lot of rare cosmetics and high rank badges and emblems, spend like $2500 of my own money in the game and if I tried to sell my account it would be worth like $500 at best where as in other game ecosystems like Eve online and games like Counterstrike your time investment is translated to actual assets that are worth tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. Multiple people in different ways talk about the downfall or collapse of the gaming industry, I think it's dramatized as the profits are still there even though a lot of layoffs and downsizing are unfortunately happening in the industry but I do agree that gaming as a whole has stagnated big time. I think web 3, AI agents and VR/AR offer unique opportunities to supercharge the industry and bring it into a new era of glory. Riot Games actually ruined my favorite champion in League of Legends through a rework and thus it actually ruined a big part of my enjoyment of the game so that's also part of my motivation in wanting to develop my own game. There is a massive MMO project that just collapsed last month and I find that very sad as it was a very ambitious project that had a lot of hype in the community but it was ultimately mishandled through overambition, lack of transparency and corruption. I aim to take some of their good ideas and learn from their mistakes. There is also another game that I enjoyed playing that did operate for a while Spellbreak which was a really fun mage PvP game that ultimately fell short of its potential. I really like this mage PvP system so that's a big part of the inspiration for Legend of the Abyss that I wanna carry out. Their mistake was also making it too competitive and not casual friendly which was something that League of Legends managed to do very well. Feel free to subscribe to the Youtube channel for the project here. So far I've only posted basic character concept arts and game concepts but I want to start doing devlogs especially if I managed to build community interest around it. I think AI tools immensely empower small teams and creators to accomplish massive thing and I hope to prove it with legend of the abyss. If you have interest in helping out the project and joining the team I would totally be open to having co-founders on it!

@Leo Gura Flying cars are out now you can buy one today $200K. Not legal to fly over a city or airspace though

Did you read the article? OpenAI is going public soon so they're not expecting to hold another round of crossover investment. OpenAI is gonna go public right as it gets hit with defence contracts that Anthropic lost so I don't see how this is bearish for them or the AI industry.
