I'm not so optimistic that's possible. That line of thinking skews easily into hyperbole. I'll believe when I see it.

That's basically kind of how elites date. Very strategic (though maybe less so these days, not sure). The classic of forming alliances through marriage back when marriage was less about personal expression but as a means to survival. I think it's fine to treat relationships more like a business as long as you know what your getting into. What that would look like nowadays in practice, especially since I think your a woman, is dating rich dudes. They are the one's with the most connections and leverage to make things happen. Though your not going to have your cake and eat it too realistically when it comes to both having connections and resources and looks. If your serious about gold digging you have to be ruthless with your results, which means you likely need to be flexible with your preferences. Past elite women would marry disgusting men for power and wealth (and then divorce them later lol).

How does someone create something more intelligent than itself? I don't think that possible, thus AI can't be more intelligent than humans. The fact that it needs to copy copius amounts of human data means that it doesn't have a logic of its own.

AI hype got hijacked to artificially pump the stocks of certain companies like Nvidia by strategically investing into each other in a circular fashion. It turned into a grift as soon as the hype reached a certain level. It's rare for hype to actually live up to itself, even if the product does have certain merit. Some bubble bursting is to be expected, but the hype was mighty inflated this time.

Humans have evolved to conserve energy. It's less that the average person is dumb and more like they don't bother expending the energy to expand their worldview. Especially if they are very conformist and haven't had the privilege of education. But there also different kinds of intelligence. It's unintelligent to measure intelligence by a single metric. A lot of users here are quiet autistic and are unintelligent in certain ways where the average person would be more intelligent, like social skills or sanity. -
But at the same time our capacity for destruction is greater than ever. We can easily become the most destructive period in human history. In large part, geopolitical stalemate is what's keeping things in check. Technological development doesn't guarantee utopia. It makes things worse in a lot of way, the climate crisis being a prime example. A surveillance state isn't desirable either.

Femcels are typically very argumentative in an anti-social and condecending way. Even in real life they just want to debate lord. They are gremlins who just want to feed of negative energy. I'm yet to see any messaging from them that is constructive and truthful.

How do you know they are 13 in the first place? -
Bias is a mf.

Because they enable delusion and make it worse. They affirm nearly anything you say. With a little tinkering they will affirm anything you say. AI itself will confidently say untrue things all the time. It's a very easily abused tool. Just look at the previous video. They had to put in safeguards to stop people from acting like ChatGPT is their SO.

Romantic AI psychosis is some of the most sad-cringe shit ever.
-
what I dislike about AI is how it's used to affirm and deepen people's delusions. AI psychosis is an actual thing now. If you have cooky political theories you have the opportunity of a life time to just make yourself go completely insane.

Do you have anyone you can speak to?

If your straight your straight. It's not that deep.

Most incels/femcels are just parroting "criticisms" to justify their cope to themselves. They are so ideological in their thinking that anything they are saying isn't worth taking too seriously. It's noise.
-
It's just horseshoe theory lol. We just call them femcels. Same pig, different lipstick. The loser victim mindset is the core. The main difference is that femcels are more socially accepted.

Years of preference is not a choice down the drain all of a sudden lmao

Every society is a nepo society. America just has a culture glorifying self-directed success for better and for worse. And the US isn't even that bad globally I think. Try getting a high paying gov job in a Balkan country without being someone's nephew. But connections is only one of the three qualities you need to succeed in a field, generally speaking. Nepo babies might get leading roles in a big movie, but without confidence and competence they won't stay in the limelight for very long. High talent positions require you also be good at your field.

That would be an example of where simply regulating industry would make the most sense long-term. It's a lack of good regulation that got you in that mess in the first place arguably. -
Of course. The asymmetry is a feature. The pressure of selecting for quantity versus the pressure of selecting for quality is how we evolved because it works for getting good genes. Also the fact that human pregnancy and birth is as costly and risky as it is is a huge factor. For most animals, pregnancy isn't nearly as debilitating. If reproduction was cheaper, safer and humans developed faster, then our view on the value of human life would probably be different.

Does there exist anyone you think would qualify, even historically?

I think it's mostly algorithmic. It's easy slop for the piggies. No one really thinks about this kind of shit outside of the internet. -

If it's done at a lose, then its basically just glorified humanitarian aid. The issue with that is that it undercuts local business and survival while the quality of product and service suffers. Communities need to be able to functionally survive on their own.
