@TheAliceSmith There is no such thing as “magic ground” that makes some places prosperous and some not!
If you teleported the people of Japan to anywhere else, that place would become Japan.
I’m canceling Claude, and honestly, it feels like a relief.
Opus 5 is unbearable. Tight usage, painfully slow models, endless restrictions, and hallucinations on top of it all.
The subscription has lost its value, especially when better alternatives are everywhere.
Exciting news: Qwen3.8-Max by @Alibaba_Qwen is #2 in Image-to-WebDev Arena!

Congrats again to @Alibaba_Qwen on this huge release!
Chinese culture is capped because it lacks true freedom.
The Chinese people are capable, but they are not reaching their full potential.
Westerners, on the other hand, are being undermined by globalists.
Yet Chinese citizens will eventually gain true freedom. I don’t know how or why, but I feel it from the inside.
AI and abundance spreading across the world will create a clear path toward greater efficiency everywhere.
And individual freedom remains the best model for efficiency.

Mark Zuckerberg reveals what he thinks the meaning of life is
"Human connection is the meaning, and it's a thing that our society probably systematically undervalues. When I was growing up in school it was like, do your homework and then go play with your friends after. But what if playing with your friends is the point?"
"People tend to think about that stuff as wasting time, or that's what you do in the free time you have. But what if that's actually the point?"
"There's a rabbi I've studied with. We were walking through Genesis, and it starts by talking about how God created everything. I've always found it meaningful that a lot of the point of what religion has been telling us to do is to create and build things"
"So these things are not at odds. I've dedicated my life to creating things that help people connect. What I studied in school was psychology and computer science, and these are the two themes I care about"
"For me, that's what matters: to create and to love, which is the ultimate form of connection"
It is mindblowing to me how few people realize that their lives and everything they know will change drastically in the near future.
At this point, it should be pretty clear.
