@zazen was hoping you would duck into this thread. Appreciate the contribution

We would have to ask him that for sure. He reports he suffered greatly when he used to binge junk food every night after 7pm. I understand this was very distressing for the guy. He said he needed external help to overcome this binging - the structure of blueprint and the experiment itself assisted with the drive to stop. He for sure felt it was a big problem in his life. Huge theme he speaks about it many podcasts.

He doesn't dismiss it could be the case. Spoken openly in a podcast.

Crushed into a fine powder we can snort

I am so glad I don't work in a field half this hype can affect. AI is stupid as fuck with plans. It has zero intuition. Estimating a large commercial project is the wildest shit I have seen. It has a long way to go - and it's not going to get there within even 2 years. In estimating there is no clean feedback loop, variables aren't constrained, rules aren't legible AT ALL, and failure can fold your business. Estimating / bidding has nothing to do with arithmetic or quantity extraction - which is why AI falls on it's face. Even Bluebeam max with claude ain't it.

Are we forgetting that LLM's are programmed with guidelines, and that they are trained on OUR data, OUR thoughts? You can try to claim most human insights aren't quality or helpful. But - this is a huge brainfart LOL What you do think LLM's are regurgitating at you? Humans are the substrate! Some people here are really buying into the hype and getting carried away with fantastical thinking. HUR DUR

He doesn't deny he has a food addiction / eating disorder type pathology. I suspect his whole rigid & controlled lifestyle is a manifestation of this sort of issue.

Damn, wtf, cardboard is actually a cheap and decent thermal insulator.

@Rafael Thundercat A lot of followers describe a supposed “solipsistic realization” as though it arrived free of interpretation. Pure, immediate & undeniable. But the second they begin explaining it, you often see an entire contraband metaphysical framework being snuck in beneath it. Straight up you can see it is a simple belief adopted.

Yep - and for myself I need context around a person to diagnose them with 'stupid'. One or two interactions can easily be chalked down to ignorance, or just a different way of taking in and processing information that we do not comprehend as easily. Coupled with the above - people's own survival gets in the way of each other. If we present as an obstruction to someone's needs, they can perform apparent acts of ignorance OR stupidity (out of selfishness). If we cannot explain someone's actions we tend to slap them with a label - and that label can be a severe limitation in our understanding that person further. Blunting natural curiosity and good faith openness. Humans are pattern making machines. We fail to see we are making patterns of the fragmented parts of another. And not the whole.

You could argue this - ignorance is separate and distinct from stupid. They are not synonymous. Ignorance is more about a lack of knowing or understanding. It is a state. Stupid is outlining an inherent capacity or limit on the ability to know and understand. But - I think you are correct in highlighting the OP's list is more about a state (ignorance), over an inherent intellectual limitation (stupidity). In either case, pragmatically, the outcome can be the same. Mechanism differs.

No, thank you.

It requires a lot of concept & assumptions, actually.

Comes out every so often 😃 I mostly feel bad for his mental health struggles

@LordFall don't agree with more than half that lol

"Organisers say that around 250,000 people watched the event live on YouTube. How many of those then bought the supplements and testosterone creams on Enhanced’s website is less clear." The grift. There it is! Colour me surprised. I love how only one record was broken. Either the Olympics is just as full of shit (IE full of drugs) or athletes didn't try as hard, thinking they could fly by on the effects of drugs. Who am I kidding? The Olympics is probably 100% research chems yet to be banned or even categorised 😁

Seen it years ago but again recently - Run Lola Run (German film)

He's quite selective about what data he publishes. He hides his poor biomarkers. I have a wild curiosity about the fella, and there is some sort of pathology at work. As well as marketing, a grift, and perhaps questionable intentions. Most people like the general message he spins, but the truth is often served up with a load of bullshit. I do find it humorous he constantly claims to be aging slower than all 18 year olds - but it's been shown 18 year olds biological aging clocks are accelerated due to growth. So it's another bullshit covered 'truth' based on strange context. Most people cannot see the shill/grift beneath his good 'unc' intentions. He does a lot of skincare and cosmetic work also, so for you to say he looks shit is ROFL! I thonk his main goal is to push the Overton window on transhumanism. He's one of the top elites, I just don't trust these guys are for 'us' normies in the slightest.

What are you getting out of labelling someone stupid? Notice that it's rarely about just intellect. There is an emotional and social function going on as well. Watch that the label itself doesn't stunt curiosity. Intelligence is often domain specific.

Most everyone has some sort of domain specific mastery where they display intelligence. We always have some areas we are stupid in. There is some Einstein quote about fish we all know yadda yadda

This hasn't been true in my experience.

How easy it is to juggle our balls when nothings at stake. Words in cyberspace.

This dude is so full into it - like he wants to make a connection with these women, not just root n toot. Probably a manifestation of knowing what women want out of a male escort - isn't it technically called a gigolo? I haven't listened to the full thing, but he seems like the sort of dude who had sisters growing up (or at least, a strong female role model who wasn't pathological). My brother is what people would term a 'natural' and my theory is it's just.... being really well socialised.
