Looking forward to reading it. It's probably going to be a divisive book for the general readership.

You just learned how to not lead your life. You will keep learning till you improve. Failure is the price of success. As long as you keep pushing yourself you'll be met with failure and setbacks. That means your growing. You should take some pride in that. The alternative would be to turn into a slug and never realize your talents. Either slug or dealing with failure. Your choice. Some dreams are not meant to be. I wanted to get into art school. In hindsight, I wouldn't fit in to the culture and I didn't really need it. Don't jump to conclusions that because one dream didn't pan out that there isn't somewhere you're meant to be. You should think of yourself as a skillset instead of a title. Your skillset can be applied elsewhere with a similair or a better impact meaningful to you than your original dream. Jobs come and go but a valuable skillsets always maintains it value. A nurse might lose theirs job during rough budget cyts but a "carer" will always find work (elder care, kindergarten, rescue operations, ship nurse, etc.). What about chess do you find meaningful? What skillset do you learn from chess (or will learn in the future)? How can you apply your skillset? What kind of impact do you want to have on people? How can you use your skillset to create that impact? Your parents can't control you. It's on you take ownership of your life. They can't do anything to you without you letting them. Your grown man. Your parents could very well have set you back, but it's on you to actually lead your life. No one will come rescue you. What do you need to do to take full ownership of your life? What's the first step? Last thing, but if your autistic you probably have a tendency to ruminate uncontrollably. Find some way to manage that. Idk what that would. You'll make yourself miserable with negative rumination.

America is pretty unique when it comes industriousnes and innovation. They steal all the best talent with crazy pay, among many other things. Down to it's culture and institutions, America is geared towards innovation and success. Lot of catching up to do for Europe and China, which is probably not ever completely reachable realistically.

How much you wanna bet that Mark Zuckerberg is a porn addict?

Silicone valley tech bro billionaires. My god 😬 As close as you get to social dark matter in human form. Like a black hole that is just pure black void in terms of likeability. It's both hilarious and tragic how you can become insanely successful of being so problem solving oriented psychologically, IE. autistic thinking, but at the same time be so cringey and removed from the rest of the world. When your a hammer everything looks like an "opportunity to expand your network and build your portfolio 🙂" Socializing is treated as a problem to be solved. It doesn't feel like release. Ultimately it becomes bothersome for people like this. Great work team.

Unc core

You have entrepreneur mind. You approach art from a largely entrepreneurial perspective. This is not how artists think. I dislike how AI deludes non-artistic tech bros and business dudes to think they are artists when they can low effort make a product all of a sudden.

You can't directly commodify an aesthetic experience. It hinges on genuine sensory engagement with another person, which is tactile and visceral and circumstantial. Money opens doors, leads to opportunities and gives a relationship value and power, but love itself is immaterial. A relationship can exist without love and emotional depth.

Charlie Kirk was acting in reaction to certain moments in history that we are in currently relative to distrust of the government. Killing him doesn't change that and it's also undemocratic. Killing your political opponents is some Congo shit. The mentality of certain Americans is quiet polarized, undemocratic and apolitical. There's a general lack of interest in negotiating political disagreement or even acknowledging it as such, instead seeing it as moral or intellectual failure. It's disturbing when killing someone is seen as legitimate because it shows that people aren't doing politics. It's inane culture war. Bad tribe bad.

You really couldn't call it something else?

Don't judge yourself, but your naturally going to feel stupid when you made a stupid choice. Don't suppress your emotions. Just deal with them as they come. Running away from discomfort is often what motivates addiction in the first place.

I think the ability to develop your talents and realize your potential is what leads to happiness. IQ is very overrated. A lot of the most successful people aren't super booksmart, but are hard working and good at communication. Of course depends on how broadly you define intelligence. Nikola Tesla is someone who's a genius when it comes to his field but due to his bad business acumen died broke and maidenless moving from hotel to hotel. He couldn't fund his projects despite his work being priceless in worth. There's no way he was happy despite having a high IQ.

When it comes to environmentalism, targeting industry is always more efficient than individuals. Trying to convince people to go vegan won't move the needle. You need to target the source of the problem. You need to lobby the government to change the laws relative to how meat is produced. You are unlikey to succeed at banning meat though. You will probably only succeed at moving the needle through compromise when you have radical beliefs relatively speaking, which is doing politics. Politics is negotiation of our living space with people who we disagree with. You can't do politics if you are not willing to negotiate.

Industrialized farming is problematic in several ways but I don't see any compelling reasons why you should stop eating meat all together. Also, big meat is here to stay Source: your mom

It has none of these qualities. It's a chatbot. It's just predicting what makes sense based on human set standards. It's a monkey typewriter. Hence why when you make AI art you have to do the shotgun approach just to get one that is good enough. It isn't deliberate in any way. The sooner people like you drop the fantasy that AGI is coming the faster this bubble can burst.

My issue is that AI overviews tend to be biased in two primary ways that are unhelpful. One, they base themselves on only a handful of sources which are often partial and skewed like Reddit, making the overview more suspect in terms of truthfulness despite it sounding confident. Basing an overview on a handful of forum posts from a platform that is designed to create echochambers is problematic in of itself. Two, they tend to prioritize splitting things down the middle 50/50 even though many questions have a relatively clear answer. If an overview starts with "a matter of intense debate" then usually there is actually a relatively clear answer but the AI doesn't want to make it for the sake maintaining retention and avoiding polarizing users, regardless of truthfulness. AI overviews are very convenient though, but they can't substitute proper research. Their implementation gets in the way of proper research as the AI is prioritized over quality sources. Pressing those headers with popular questions that relate to your query used to be really good but have now been replaced with AI overviews, which is less useful. It's slopification.

You give them too much credit. Don't assume it's not possible to make things worse through bad activism. Wokeism has that exact problem. Because wokiesm is the only advocacy certain minorities have, their advocacy get shunted by association. Then you end up with no advocacy when wokiesm inevitably dies. At worst bad activism can kill people. In a real fight you wouldn't survive being delusional.

When how you look matters more than outcomes. I see the kind of performative activism like blocking roads or vandalizing national art as for one, an attempt at ceasing a sense of agency in a confusing world, secondly, as an outlet for destructive urges. You get to feel justified in acting destructively because it's for a good cause. Especially if they are misanthropic to a certain extent due to their ideological beliefs. Also clout. Politically, this kind of activism is worthless because it it fundamentally apolitical. It's not about negotiating our space but ideologically shutting off people that you disagree with, which is like sticking your head in the sand. Just because you write off certain people who dislike your crazy stunts (usually the majority) doesn't mean that they cease to exist politically and that they no longer are going to vote. The only outcome here is making people dislike environmentalism. Actual effective climate activism that is politically constructive is often dry and legislative and predominately targets industry, in contrast to the notion that the individual is responsible for the climate, which is marketing usually paid for by big corporations. Being disruptive only makes sense if it's connected to constructive political action. Performative activism is about the consensus of action without any of the substance in order to feel good about one self. Just saying it's for the environment won't move the needle.

"He likes me for who I am" type shit

That's a skill issue.

People are only less supportive of their cause after such stunts. There is no constructive outcome. You might as well just take a shit in the middle of town and declare it a stance against racism and injustice. This people are fooling themselves. Just because you say it is for the environment doesn't automatically make it so.

You'll still buy it. That's why. You will pre-order and be happy.

You can say that about anything though. Doesn't change the fact that it's a monkey typewriting machine. As soon as you remove it's database it's ceases functioning. Humans have a capacity for ingenuity. The evidence is all around you in your history and culture. If you can't see that than that's on you. AI bros can't see because they don't care. It was never about art in the first place, but the technology and making money.

I'm worried that the game will a) lose it's edginess and b) that the gameplay will be too slow and simulator-like, like RD was. Instant fail back to checkpoint if you don't follow the script exactly. No player agency but the player character's nipples visibly harden through their shirt when it's cold. instant 10/10.
