I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
overheard a friend wishing his gf "happy burger day", after the call ended i asked him "is it burger day today?" and he goes "no i send her burger every month on her first day of periods so it is OUR BURGER DAY."

I need to be around more people that are so far removed from societal expectations. People who don’t care how others perceive them as long as they are staying true to themselves
I’m not gonna lie, sometimes I get jealous of people who get away with being terrible because the moment I do something even slightly wrong, God deals with me immediately.😭
