😆😆😆 This guy is roasting how AI won't shut up and keep giving generic answers.

Yes. Marx would be horrified of what happened in his name if he was alive today. He had his blind spots that he later criticized himself, like the 10-Point Plan (from the Manifesto). But I think what we try to critiquize Marx for is merely what was done with his ideas by power hungry pigs, like usual. Max Weber did later do analysis on his blind spots, how Marx deconstruction left a power vacuum, and how he didn't speak enough about people's development, and the role of the state that is above the capitalists at all times and tries to milk from him. Somehow up to this day it's not part of the public knowledge or the memes this kind of nuanced view of what the solutions to society are, and that's also part of the reason why things are shitty. But somehow Marx also knew that we he couldn't just write some simple recipe for the problems, but the little that he did about it, specially about abolition of private property was just a silly solution. (which I don't understand exactly how he intended) Somehow he also knew the problems that we would face alongside his ideas, and perhaps he would backtrack on many of his ideas or clarify things further if he knew what happened. The legitimacy over the use of physical force is mostly solved in modern democracies (it's the govt), but when it comes to capital things are still evolving... To deconstruct it perfectly, it means to rebuild something better, it's not just the material condition conditions, but it's the political, intellectual, social conditions of that society as well, such as Switzerland vs USA. That`s obvious, that's what Max Weber goes deep into. Not that deep or special, obviously. That's the work that Leo Gura is teaching. Marx just seemed too caught up with capitalism, because when he saw it it was at the peak of that brutal early industrialization of society where people were worked like semi-slaves, and didn't give much voice to the other parts of power dynamics, but that's not excuse for the atrocities and modern day ignorance of his works, it's not like we didn't have equally insightful people writing on the solutions based on history that happened in real time after his death. Progressive taxation, including the billionaires is definitely in one of his old lists of things to do, and we didn't get to that part yet. Modern govts changed to the better because of his works to adapt to him, but specially in the fear of communist takeover. The major risk is when people are given good compromises by the govt and the capital elites, and the elites are given good compromises by the govt, but the govt and mega corporations are still taking too much... Marx thought that there would be some kind of orgasmic moment of revolution, but that only happens if we are backed on the corner too hard, and even then, dictatorships can decide to just butcher people militarily, but that is bad for the capital elites, they don't want govt created instability. So in some way, the capitalists, paradoxically, are some kind of stabilizing force, but just because of this centuries long dialectic between the govt, the people and the capital elites.

Yeah. That was one of the major contributions of Marx. He was a great analysist of capitalism like this, but shitty at giving advice of good alternatives. All things considered he died in 1883, he didn't get to see his influence on society.

I've been also questioning if I need to necessary be the one providing the service or owning a product, if finding the clients and closing sales is already hard, might as well just focus on that, because flow state is definitely not cheap and I'm sure if it's so easy to me mentally switching between client acquisition and delivery of the service, and even choosing what service to provide and not getting stuck with essentially just a glorified job. My goal is to eventually actually scale things. But right now what I need is at least some 100-200 dollars per month so I don't have to get some minimum wage job at something generic that is not even related to those areas. I'm in a low living cost country living with my parents. If somebody paid me 200 bucks per month to code for them all month, I'd do it. Because even though the pay wouldn't be that great just basically a minimum wage job around here, at least I'm getting paid to improve a skills that I can use career-wise. Or maybe getting paid to getting trained on doing that kind of guerrilha sales, specially for selling software/services along the lines of what I said above. Because then I can get paid to improve those on skills.

Is doing generic WordPress-like web service setups for professionals and small businesses still worth it? What about setting up LLM chatbots? But what if the client is stupid, and he has less than 10 page visits per month, and what they actually need the most are more leads? What I mean specifically... Is the combination of the marketing/client acquisition process alongside what kind of specific service you provide. Obviously, there are somethings that are very hard and complex to do and naturally demand a premium, but I suppose it's hard to find clients to sell it to, like very custom full stack or mobile/desktop apps with native code. I don't have a design/programming portfolio yet, but I did many automation projects for myself, and other ideas that I didn't execute to completion because of being concerned that project would be unnecessarily complicated. I don't feel much passion for wanting to do basic website setups, but that's at least something that can be done in a reasonable amount of time and with no crazy unknowns. I'm open to hearing your experience on it. I didn't do any freelancing in those areas yet, and I'm open to hearing how you did it, what portfolio pieces, or the testimonials you collected, or how you built some proof of work or excellence of any kind, and how you got yourself your clients. I want something that I can that would allow me to get paid as I improve my skills, I'm too perfectionist, and I get stuck when I'm not seeing money coming about the feasibility or necessity of that skill that I might not even be relevant for a real project. I don't have a degree per say in computer science, but I know my way around, and I'd know what I need to learn. Like I can identify what design patterns or algorithms, the different performance and pricing and complexity considerations, that I might need for something but I don't have real world experience with getting paid yet in that area. I'm also open to getting into just marketing/sales if that is more profitable than coding. I prefer a complete project execution than just the UI/UX design aspect because I'm a wannabe entrepreneur and I like at least imagining how a whole well-polished software product should behave and how it would be executed. I'm just kinda lost about how the real world markets operate right now and that is stifling my skills, because I'm very pragmatic-minded when I'm learning. Obviously, I'm proficient in english, and I know how to communicate well. I have a good acumen in software, design and marketing lingo. But I have no real-world experience yet.

Damn. I clicked on the link now, I misread it. 😂 I saw the the Discourse GUI right now. It looks like stack overflow. It seems alright. But migration will be a pain unless it handles it out of the box without issues. Like post formatting and permissions (i.e. users like deleting their old posts sometimes). This has to be tested properly. And features like bookmarking other user's comments, I use that often. Another useful feature would be when someone is quoted, it doesn't simply copy the text like it does here, but the user still has permission to delete the content even after quoted on it. It's important specially because we speak about sensitive topics, sometimes people want to delete old content for privacy purposes.

I feel like the Discord UI is so mindless, it's not this post-based paradigm, but huge chat dumps and at best channels. It will destroy the post-based way we communicate, it will become just a huge dump even if creating multiple channels. Also the forum would be under the rules of discord. Unless Leo Gura self-hosts some discord GUI.

But yeah, the formatting sucks, it's this internal Microsoft Word-style formatting but somehow when I paste rich text content it just stripes it away and I have to use the internal tool to reformat, and I wish it had markdown formatting. So strange. Somehow I never had those bugs on google chrome and firefox on windows. I never used it on mobile. It always saves my typing progress, even right now when answering to your comment I tried to refresh the page to see if it kept it, I just had to re-click replay on your comment and my draft comment was still there saved. But the global database bug taking down the whole forum I guess is something that everyone connecting faces when it happens. I noticed that Leo Gura enabled image compression for upload recently, I remember a post of people posting huge uncompressed PNG files, I thought it was strange it had no compression, I compress my images before uploading just in case. Or maybe I'm mistaken and that was always there.

I agree, it's not really my sentiment. But it's a topic worth discussing, many people are feeling like that out there, and it could be because they are not putting effort into curating their reality properly, and letting the algorithm gods feed them constantly. But also I think it takes some effort for people to pick variety out there, like the trope that we don't make good music anymore and people pick some epoch like the 80s to identify themselves, little do they know that music they hear are just the top picks from all the music of the 80s that were bad. I curate my own music in Spotify by knowing how to play the algorithm, and I can hear almost everyday absolutely amazing indie songs with less than a thousand listeners that were released recently.

Gleichschaltung: Slop-Apocalypse for everything and everyone. Everything, in every field (from fashion to cars and to podcasts), everywhere is turning into the same homogenous grey blob inbred monoculture. AI is only accelerating it.

He has right-wing bias and uses high quality rhetoric to distort reality in name of his agenda, his arguments sound good, but he clearly does it from behind an agenda. This is this rat and mouse game of the use of rhetoric to justify anything. He could have just as well been criticizing the right instead of the left with the same arguments. Most of his videos are just inflammatory rage bait. Of course there are truths to many of the things he said in this video that applies to the entire political spectrum, but he uses it just for the left because that's his entire internet persona. Not sure if this guy actually buys into his ideas fully or if he is an epistemic whore.

We already have AGI with LLMs, they just pushed the goal-post to human-level or superior general intelligence. Power in the literal human sense. Other definitions of intelligence are irrelevant to what they seek, current LLMs operate more like as an ORACLE, which is a type of entity that provides knowledge but it doesn't have power by itself to do anything. It's an all knowing impotent god. The goal is the is the autonomy to pursue and accomplish goals autonomously without needing anyone else to think for them or which they don't have control over. We are greedy and want to replace ourselves.: Technology, Slavery, Building Govts, Getting rich so we can make others produce stuff for us. Our society is not politically ready for the aftermath of human-like or superior general intelligence. I wish it just stopped at the levels of current LLMs, they always need to be below us for ability to generalize (get unstuck by itself, improve itself, etc), otherwise we will lose control over them. A more narrow general intelligence like what they currently possess is safe with regards to not losing control over them. There is no amount of OpenClaw agents running around with the best models that can't be stopped by mankind, the moment that changes, we are at danger. The only safety is never allowing them to be capable to operate unguided for extended periods of time or with higher level of task complexity or mix of specificity and complexity (where they fail at). Currently they can solve complex but generic problems that are contained in the generalized collective intelligence within the training. Tasks should always require human hours and human work to be put as a stake and it must be an inherent limit of the architecture or quality of training, even if machines do most of the work. This keeps more power on the hand of the individual human operators. Once this power imbalance changes, whoever has the access to the physical resources to build those machines will have increasingly more power than the average person. Once humans become not needed, it will be like in dictatorships where humans are not necessary for their govt, they live mostly off from some natural resources, so they treat people with brutal military use of force like cattle. Democracy dies once the people don't have value anymore for whoever owns the keys to power. Some of the keys to power are the elites and the military and then also the people (if in a democracy), if you don't make them happy as a govt, you get replaced. Currently WE ARE ONE OF THE MAJOR KEYS TO POWER in democracies. Once that shifts, we are at a precarious situation. We are already at danger from governments and billionaires, and they are dumb. It's already hard to fight for freedom. How will human-level AGI change this? This will dictate if govts will keep their monopoly over the use of force, or if something else will go above in the food chain.

😂 LMAO, I thought this was the AI summary of the video that I pasted talking bad about AI from that physicist when I skimmed over it, they all sound and format the same the text, the amount of words per sentence. I had actually felt bad for just pasting the summary without editing it first, only two sentences actually contain any meaning there.

Yes I agree. And that's what is problematic, they are becoming useful enough to give a false impression of their raw capabilities. Like the horrors happening due to OpenClaw agents running on the wild and blackmailing developers and leaking passwords, and doing pull requests on open source projects on their own. People are being so naive and heckless with them without guardrails. That's where the hype comes from. It needs a lot of humans in the loop to get juice from them, at run time and on their deployment from the devs. I think this is a massive insight for anybody wanting to make money: The value right now is in creating robust infrastructure/APIs that other Devs/AI-assisted coding can use properly, because vibe-coding those things are painful. So many great services/products out there, but they are just not LLM friendly to interact with safely.

LLMs suffer from context poisoning because it can't fix their own context once they are wrong, they can't get unstuck. Their entire vector space is cursed with brittle intelligence and that won't be fixed unless we have breakthroughs, agentic actions are plagued by it, they are only pushing the problem further down the line, at least so far, even despite of high benchmark scores, their meta skills of self-management are worse than wrong. They can't think from first principles and their internal model of the world is brittle and they don't have the capability of realizing it. I won't go on the beaten path here of saying it's just an auto-completer, because it does indeed have latent capabilities, but like I said, the data and architecture is plagued, the patterns it has of our world are internally represented in some wacky ways due to its representation on text. What would we expect on something that was trained on massive amounts of human media? Even us here in this forum struggle to formulate into words complicated matters, our language is riddled with imprecision between the weight of the importance of the connection between concepts. Language doesn't map perfectly human action. This is exactly why noobs can know a lot of theory, but if they don't have the practice, not even a world-class expert can help them get better, because most of it is not communicable knowledge. Those models are failing miserably at learning knowledge that lies beyond literal communication or representation. Their world models are built through shallow patterns, that's why they must contain a vast amount of training, and the reason why it gets a little better with larger models with more content internally. Look at those smaller models with better architectures, they can do tasks that LLMs will choke on hysterically. Who can predict in such and such date we will get a better architecture and put together the training? It's like trying to predict when physicists will find a good theory of everything to bridge quantum mechanics and Einstein's special relativity. Who can predict that we will bridge specialized AI models with large models trained on vast amounts of that, and that it will build the correct world model in its internal representation?

Holy shit. Leo as a milf is hot as fuck, holy moly. Goddamn... 😂😂😂 Makes me remember of the singer Colbie Caillat. Heavenly cougar mamma.

Bro, it's like he took Leo's video, feed into the AI, and ask for a summary and he is reading it. But to give him credit, his earliest video is 8 years old.

This is my major problem. A part of myself is too ethically minded and doesn't wanna do certain things. But at the same time, I want and need the money at this phase of my life so that later and even now, I don't have to submit myself to crap that would be directly damaging to me, or waste my time, or is both low conscious and low paying. We have to do so much shit to survive already, we might as well do in a way that pays well. BUT the trick here is to not become a consumerist zombie and use that wealth to buy expensive useless crap that will enslave you further with high lifestyle maintenance costs. We must use that extra money beyond survival to acquire safety. The ethical thing here, which is what many entrepreneurs do. They are just dedicated to using most of the money of profits just on the business, they are not going on a spending spree, they invest back into the business. There is a balance between getting wealth for the sake of acquiring freedom, paying with some of our high ethical values, so paradoxically, we end up less likely to get in shitty situations that we have to degrade ourselves as well, so it might end up backfiring on us, we will be so desperate out of survival pressure that it can be way worse for our level of development.

Yes it's true that introverts are, because it has to take your mind from a highly focused state of mind on your interests into this defused thinking mode, and having to be in environments where your brain feels hyper stimulated or not completely in the zone. Interacting with most woman is also very flimsy, they sort of just get carried by the social wind and it can be hard to get and keep their attention. I know it's not an excuse to say the reality/truth of something. Which means, we have to be even more persistent and strategic in how we go about doing it. Socializing with women is an emotional thing plus some creativity and sharp attention to inhabiting their social world. And actually, being more tuned to our feelings is part of high quality spirituality. Which is something we already need to not be with that autistic buzzing inside of our heads of all our intellectual stuff, goal pursuits, the struggles we have in life, etc. Chilling out with women should be coming out of that lonely constant mental buzz. At least how I feel, but it becomes also another mental buzz quickly. Like getting addicted to picking up different women, fear of settling down, or settling down to a bad chick due to fear. It just kinda sucks going through the motions of over and over again getting conversations nowhere, it so mentally disruptive to my flow state in getting my stuff done. The problem here is not the woman, the problem here that we don't wanna pay the price of having our comfort zone disrupted emotionally. Is it that we don't want to get our flow state disrupted?

I think my major personal issue around game is lack of consistency. The few times I had some success (with someone that lived close enough to actually met) was because I somehow did do great and had even the balls to approach. My bottleneck to getting better is my life in general and my inner emotional system, I still don't feel that comfortable outside in the real world. Like, I can appear confident and funny to women at times if they are also giving me good vibes, but that silence of the environment before the approach I still don't feel very confident with handling. In person everything in real-time. Online there is a lot of asynchronicity, time to think, and you are comfortable in your zone. Online in chat rooms with women I tend to have an edge, and that was detrimental to me due to becoming a distraction. Getting success online with women that lives all over the country for me has become trivial due to the greater volume gives better quality of woman quicker, and that gives me a dopamine boost. At least allowed me to maximize my verbal skills and psychological understanding of them. But the personal lack of comfort I feel when approaching outside and the lack of logistics due to being completely broke right now, puts me in a very dangerous situation that I might go back to that as a cope. I also know, that I might have some success with someone that might be a walk away from me, and get used to it, and not want to find someone that would make me more fulfilled, due to fear of going back into the zone. So at all stages it can stagnate. Like some guys were amazing at game, gets married with some awful woman even if she looks like a 10/10, she lobotimizes him and destroys with him, and he becomes zombie-like after that. That's an example I heard. Maybe in person if I had greater consistency and had at least some money to go out it might translate those skills and the quality of women through volume. Getting my own place to have intimacy will be by far the most important aspect of my game. The logistical lack in my life really cripples me. It's very hollistic. I think I got stuck in this negative feedback cycle, where I used to get success online with woman that lives far away, then I'd waste a lot of time just chatting/sexting/being emotionally involved with them, and end up getting distracted in my personal life, which lead to further degradation of my ability to pursue my financial goals, that will ultimately unlock my logistics at the same time I'm pursuing my financial goals on my terms. The major issue is managing the energies inside of you and your external resources. So much of it feels just getting emotionally open within the environment you're meeting her. I think Leo Gura needs to make videos on this, how to open up emotionally. That goes for everything. Women teachers tend to focus a lot on that.

LLMs are so hollow. This current technology no matter the incremental improvements they make, it keeps being just a shadow of a being. Maybe someday it gets to the point that each chatbot you interact with can be as diverse and deep as individual people, but that will take so much compute power if trend of scale keeps going, it's not worth to spend the energy budget of an entire city just to chat with a better chatbot. The bar is set so low when we are craving and desperate for connection, we will orgasm and fall in love for any resemblance of connection.
