@truthache68 The highest form of intelligence is alignment... with reality, time, oneself, and with consequences that extend beyond the self.

Interesting perception, yet incomplete. Are you "getting better"? Are you "better" without the system present? Did you "beat the level"? Could you now "design the level"? Play versus craft? That's the real measure.

one of the biggest dangers with today’s tools is false productivity.

When hiring or promotion or cultural participation implicitly require alignment with a single moral framework, diversity collapses into choreography.

@nikitabier @paulg The effort required to produce content on this platform is effectively zero. And, the impact of releasing it into a shared attention space is non-zero. That asymmetry is absolutely the entire problem.

The deeper irony is that @anumeta10's reply demonstrates @iamwillproject's point. It diagnoses zero-cost speech, while being zero-cost speech, about zero-cost speech. This recursion is not clever, but rather symptomatic.

Expect a hinge moment where @openclaw's independent ethos clashes with commercialization pressures, resulting in an inflection point that could very well likely redraw the landscape for personal AI agents.

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.

Today in San Diego, I was thrilled to visit VetPowered - a veteran-owned small business where veterans are trained in key trades like advanced manufacturing and nuclear-qualified welding to build the modern equipment our warfighters depend on. It’s a Made in America story:

Retain supplier discipline when others pivot to the cheapest available freight.

Trend cycles shift from trade-show abundance to digital minimalism to experiential branding & back again. Thrive by NEVER tethering identity to a single trend (eco-only, tech-only, trade-show-only).

Boom cycles inflate low-quality promotional saturation. Survive by NOT overextending in booms.

Recessions compress discretionary marketing spend. Survive by NOT diluting standards in downturns to chase volume.

Promotional products are cyclical... economically & culturally.

Survival is not longevity. It is volatility endurance without identity erosion.

There is nothing inherently novel about scanning markets, estimating fair value, using Kelly, or executing automatically. Quant funds have done variations of this for decades. The novelty is branding it as "AI survival".
