I think this will start the end of the global military industrial complex as citizens realize its being used to farm our lives for profit at the tunes of trillions. Warfare is very barbaric, it's time for humanity to unite and fund itself through cooperation itself and use our power of industry to industrialize space.

You do realize when you go on a date you meet her in real life right? Feel free to focus on cold approach or social circle game but apps are meant to foster real connection. If you get stuck in your head and have no game you'll be stuck with those same issues even after deleting the apps. Getting dates is very easy. You should open with a funny or direct opener"Hey you're cute, what's your IG I'll message you on there" and after building raport/banter for 1-2 messages you ask her out directly. "What are you up to thursday, le'ts go get a drink at X" "Wanna go get a coffee and walk in the park saturday 2 pm?" Dating apps are limited because they don't let you build your status and develop connection with women over months/ years like Instagram can but in terms of just getting dates it's pretty phenomenal. This is a great video for other people that are still stuck at the getting matches part.

I don't know what is your point in sharing this but I don't think you understand feminism if this is what you post about it. You can moralize the feelings of anger of some of the members of the moment but you categorize a movement fundamentally by it's aims and its accomplished goals. Every movement has some of its members that are more radical than others. Some red pillers hate women, some want to figure out their life and have never been a misogynist. Some feminists hate men and some just want equal rights. Remember that feminism is rooted in civil rights as in just human rights. First wave feminism mostly focused on the right to vote and the right to own property. You know until 1974 women couldn't manage their own finances in the UNITED STATES without a male guarantor? Where I agree that feminism philosophy goes array in its ideas of realities is blaming the average man for their oppression over history. Both genders have been and are oppressed and we see it until today where the most ruthless and competent of us become elites owning our money supply and some of them go as far as raping children. Some feminists agree with this characterization and some say that the average man in history has been a co conspirator and been sold a wife for his participation in the labor system and given the ability to own her and oppress her as his reward. That's a bit more nuanced and hard to prove or falsify. To loop back to toxic masculinity there is definitely such a thing when it gets rooted in empty materialism or power through violence. The human species as a whole is looking for identity in our history and it's a quest that continues toward with us now having to fight for our place in the economic world against(with?) AI.

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.

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

Reminds me of the limbic system and its dopaminergic pathways that is at the base of most living organisms. It managed to go from a single cell to multi cellular organisms to simple creatures to us now. I don't see why AI can't similarly evolve in consciousness.

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.

Cool AI characters releasing soon

This is a great post to read, it's about a guy who makes good money who overheard his fiancee talking about settling for him and not being that attracted to him but it works it's fine. https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1rmhy5c/wibtah_if_i_left_my_fiancee_destitute/ I don't think this is something to be too concerned about if you have some decent self-awareness but it's a good example of why learning game and seduction is really important to have a high quality relationship. Otherwise it's very likely that if your partner questions herself if she hasn't already she'll just find you okay but because she's in scarcity like most humans she'll go with it to have a family and a decent standard of living. You can be a fun and exciting guy that learns to flirt with his girlfriend that has shit shit together it's not that hard even though a lot(probably most men) seem to fall short. Level up and become a world class man, I believe in you boys you got this. This subreddit is one of the best ones on all of Reddit as it lets you learn vicariously from other real people's experiences. This relates to my other post on most men having no idea how low level they are; this guy just found the easy way actually. The hard way is when your girl actually cheats you and dumps you in a time of weakness.

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.

Just be careful of over generalizations. I've been involved in a few game communities across different cities and you can find that type of guy in it who's emotions are like a void that they avoid fixing but there are plenty of high quality dudes in there. My opinion is also probably unique because I watched the leo video against PUAs when he released it 10 years ago so the pitfalls of the community have always been very obvious to me and I only associate with the positive aspect of it. I will say that your opinion is misguided though because game is a wide skillset. Some of it revolves around putting on a persona and learning to charm women you don't know, part of it is also doing some trauma release work to develop your unique personality so that your persona and your authentic self become the same really you just become a social master of meeting new people and expressing positive energy. Plenty of average man never learn to do that and it's not a roast of them. They're just regular dudes that get overwhelmed with life and a lot of them give up and become overweight, get hooked on porn and lose their sex life with their wife. Look at deadbedrooms subreddit for plenty of examples on that. Learning effective communication and managing your emotions will never be toxic. Those are the 2 main core game skills.

Totally agreed. For those who doubt Bitcoin you need an alternative investment that you trust more over the next few years, please build an alternative case. Highly recommend that everyone and Leo included read the Bitcoin Standard by Saifedean Ammous. He makes a really clear and strong case for it by taking a look at all the other wealth preservation mechanisms in human history and weighting Bitcoin against them.

Right and I proposed actionable solutions to start working towards aligning your life productively. Victim thinking means that you spend your time complaining about how the system is vs figuring out how to adapt to it. Notice that there isn't much victim thinking in the animal kingdom. They adapt over millennia or go extinct. I don't have chronic health issues myself and I realize that's hard to deal with. Notice that plenty of people with them manage to become highly productive within the system though. I have a buddy who used to do some content marketing with me that has chron's diesase and is on constant medication for it with a monthly medical appointment and some days he gets flare ups and can't work. Leo also has talked about chronic health issues many times and it hasn't stopped him from building the actualized.org business. Right and she's a world famous olympic athelete. If you want a shot at dating a girl like that you're gonna need some major social circle game and having worked on yourself by the time you meet them my guy.

Feel free to elaborate but I'll disagree until you provide more context. You think learning to charm and seduce your girlfriend is not healthy behaviour? So common, a lot of people settle for just okay relationships. I would say probably like 50%. Provides a surplus of value to the people and women in his life. Fixed his insecurities and trauma. Is highly competent at some sort of skillset. Knows how to be funny and charming which fundamentally is about being in abundance of good emotions and confidence in your own ability to handle's life challenges. I don't date men but I'll notice a lot of times when I hangout with guys they're just clueless or just complain a lot or don't have the basic areas of life to be able to offer any value when you associate with them repeatedly. Whereas some other guys I learn something new each time I hangout with them, they have cool ideas for projects we could do together or just cool activities to do and they can introduce me to other cool people. All of this is learnable if you care enough about life to put effort into learning the systems to make this happen.
