I think it depends on the medium, coding is different from creating images in ways that it makes difference if AI is used or not. AI coding allows you to build stuff without micromanaging nitty-gritty aspects of coding, and if you know what you're doing (meaning you've coded a lot pre-AI), you can build great stuff, and still satisfy that architectural / builder needs in you that you got from coding from scratch. But yeah, for some people coding itself was passion, no matter what they coded, the code itself was an art, and that's being lost. In that sense, it's soulless.

There are many Georgian influencers that make good money through Instagram. You don't have to necessarily do content in English. Just go through many Georgian accounts that sell something (services, courses, goods, etc), study them, see how they do content and what makes it click. Study the market.

Because in practice it is difficult. Don't get fooled by all the positive-thinking spiritual instagram influensers that say otherwise. It's difficult, especially if you don't have funds or experience.

You tell us. I feel the same way. This self-development coach thing became so trendy these days that it just repells me. I was also thinking of doing something similar years ago, but then my tastes have shifted and I realized this wasn't really what I was passionate about, it was just that I was too lazy to think of something else. Also, what I realized was that I had massive passion for philosophy, not strictly "self-improvement". Self-improvement without philosophy turns into a joke and circle jerk. I liked Leo's content from the get-go because he was adding philosophical depth to everything he was talking about, but I was able to realize that much later, why I liked his content so much. But you do you, maybe you don't care much about philosophy.

Do you take finasteride as well for maintenance?

This will end in 2 weeks 😂

😂 Would you consider a hair transplant? If not, why?

@jacknine119 What does this mean to you? You can use AI in all sorts of things, there are many models that do various things. You start with doing research. If you don't have research skills, develop that first. You can't predict what you find with your research.

Would you consider hair transplant in 40s as a sign of clinging on to their youth? Maybe it's just an attempt at optimizing for attractiveness. Wanting to be more attractive (to whatever degree hair transplant raises that, even if at all) doesn't necessarily mean that one hasn't accepted old age and inevitable death, right? I think Wilber is just having fun, I don't think he takes that wig too seriously. But idk.

Yeah I agree. But also, hair translpant is perceived as a signal of insecurity and low-self esteem for some people. Some say that you have to just own your baldness and that's more attractive. That can have some validty, but there's no getting around the fact that looks matter for attraction and for most people bald head makes their looks worse. But I think it's a concern when your in your 20s, 30s or 40s. I hope I will not give a shit about having a hair or not in my 50s, I should have transcanded that worry by that point Even in 40s it's a bit wierd, but going bald in your 20s sucks. I'm 30 between norwood 2-3, so it's not that bad, and I think I can maintain or improve this with medication / therapies once every couple months, it's worth the effort until I just let it go sometime in the future.

Well, you could just go bald. There's always that option. Topical Minoxidil doesn't have much side-effects.

After 2 months of minoxidil, I see baby hairs in spots where there were no hair at all, these should supposedly grow into full hairs in couple months. I think this shit really works. Also I did couple plazmatherapy and mesotherapy and hair loss is noticably slowed down, like I don't see much hair on the sink after showering, whereas before I was seeing a lot. I think norwood 2-3 stages can be maintained / improved with these remedies, and they don't have much negative side-effects.

That's good, journaling helps me sometimes when I want to share something even if nobody reads it except for me, but also sharing stuff with friends is a good idea. As for your issue, just concentrate what you have now, and plan next months, have your action plan and show up daily, try to not derail much. The past isn't real anymore, so there's no point in dwelling on it, as I'm sure you're already aware, but thoughts on the past will still be there, it's just part of survival, look at it through the lens of survival, make it conscious, and do what you can daily to make your plans reality.

What specific characteristics have you had since childhood that you attributed to autism and not personality type like introversion or something?

16/50 Yeah I also noticed that the pro-autism questions that tried to lure me in wasn't because I am autist, but because I am introvert and I enjoy that. Test was very simplistic. But still I was afraid for getting 25+ Phew...

(Thumbnail is fake clickbait) Varginha case seems the most genuine ones that I've seen so far. But I didn't know these: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/mar/21/anniversary-et-of-legend-varginha-alien-incident-musuem-documentary But still, despite these, story seems believable to me. Yeah, if we accuse doctor (or any other witness) in lies because of bribes, the same logic can apply to Ufologist Ubirajara Rodrigue, who now tries to debunk the story. Not so easy to conclude anything.

What's your day-to-day diet like? Like for 80-90% of the times, what do you eat? I try to lose weight while building muscle and here's what I eat: protein pancakes (protein powder, banana, egg) chicken breast + rice / buckwheat eggs cottage cheese tuna salad some fruit That's it basically. 1900-2000 calories and 160g protein. And on the weekends I might switch and bring in some variety, but still stay in these caloric range. What about you?

Is that really worth your time and effort? How much do you pay for a haircut and how often do you get one?

At least 1080p

@Ramanujan I mostly do it with Claude or ChatGPT models. What do you like about Gemini?

Depends on what you use it for. For coding, Claude and OpenAI models are the best in my experience.

"probably in 2027 we will be introduced to extraterrestrials". I think this is the keyword there. So pretty sure nothing will come out of this. But still looking forward to next year for some reason, I want this to be real but it doesn't seem realistic.

@jacknine119 Have a drink or two, it will loosen you up and it won't be that hard to dance After couple times of doing that, try sober then. Try not to care how you look like from outside to others, that gets you stuck in your head, the trick is to loosen up and don't give a shit about how you look outside. Clubs are good place to practice, also music festivals.

@jacknine119 Did they tell you about Xenu when they recruited you?
