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.

@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.
