“what would you do if you had 10x the agency?”. dawg i would be using the Ukrainian drone strategy against the sf fent dealers. i would be supplying the homeless with free chainsaws and paying them bounties for the number of utility poles they cut down.

based on the replies, i think many people have an incomplete view of incels. it’s not that they can’t get *anyone* to sleep with them, it’s that they can’t get *anyone who meets their standards* to.(in most cases).

the best VCs i’ve met are incredibly sharp superconnectors who can model the future pretty well. the worst VCs i’ve met, i wouldn’t trust to be the store manager of a burger king. VC is unique in that no one can objectively tell if you’re any good at it for ~10yrs.

if you ask chatGPT if Sharia law is extremism, it tells you "no". if you ask it if a republican president enacting those same policies would make him a right wing extremist, it tells you "yes"

I've been marveling at how well I've been able to "turn it off" and relax on this trip, I usually can't. just realized it's probably because I've been taking a painkiller for my wrist injury every morning.

someone in sf should organize a "man vs the machine" hackathon where half of the participants can't use LLMs and half cannot write ANY code manually
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers. The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

one must conclude though that the neruosis that leads to you needing 10k saved to have a pet is part of why the birth rate is down.

one might argue it was the kind thing to do. the dog died happy and pretty painlessly. one might argue putting your dog through surgeries or living with a disability because you can't let go is cruel. one might also argue that having the capacity to do that is not a virtue.

growing up my uncle lived out in the woods, always had a few dogs. he spent all his time with them. when one of his dogs got real injured or ill, he would make the dog a buffet of people food, sit with it in the woods awhile, and then he would shoot the dog in the head.
Extremely unpopular opinion today but if you are gonna have a pet you should always have AT LEAST ten grand set aside for them at all times in case of serious emergency.

a friend is getting a CS masters degree currently, against my advice.he's finding some of the more advanced classes challenging but very interesting. he's going to be in for such a shock when he gets his first job and they tell him to write react and api slop.

nobody likes the sober guy at the party.and it's much more fun to be drunk.
Talk about “the singularity” will feel grounded again once an llm produces a novel discovery with minimal human guidance. You’re telling me your AI just surpassed the previous SOTA model on a benchmark by a nominal amount? Wow that’s crazy. Should we call Eliezer Yudkowsky?.

ai is an incredible tool.there’s so much left to be built.but.ai as an “agentic being smart enough to pose risk to the world as we know it today” should seem farther away to you today than it did two years ago.

SOTA (per benchmarks) pricing update
quite a few people in the replies have suggested that this outcome is not likely. bro i’m currently paying 200/mo for chatgpt pro so that i have unlimited o3 usage. unfettered access to SOTA intelligence is /already/ unaffordable for most people alive.

so there will need to be separate districts, governed by houses. citizens can pledge loyalty to a highbie to join their district. there will need to be a annual competition of some kind between the houses, to relieve tension. perhaps a competitive waterboarding competition.
