@StateDept Too bad Trump has done more to degrade US power and influence in the world then any other person in history. It'll be impossible for future presidents to undo the damage he has done, he has single-handedly destroyed the US hegemony.
She passed every AI safety test. She was lying.

Huge love to @anabology for the inspiration. Your work made me want to join the Slopcore.

The problem with the way people flirt today is that they misunderstand it.
Most young men today think flirting is superficial charm to mask that what you really want is sex. That's why so many women hate it.
That's also not flirting.
It also sets off alarm bells in most women because it's lying.
Flirting is an end in itself. You flirt for fun, NOT to induce a woman into a date.
Flirting is supposed to be fun. It's also supposed to be noncommittal. You're supposed to be able to be flirty with randos with zero expectations.
Why? It's practice so that you can flirt well when you're on a date.
When you're chatting with a stranger, you're not supposed to be trying to get a date. You're just supposed to have a little fun.
This is why you're supposed to flirt with anyone... Old ladies, fat girls, and so on. You're not trying to have sex with them. You're trying to make them feel good.
This is what too many today misunderstand about flirting.
The most valuable advice we got during YC was to explain our company using verbs instead of nouns.
Early on, I walked into a pitch and did the complete opposite:
“We’re reinventing the cloud for AI”
No one had any clue what that meant. I could (very painfully) see their eyes glazing over
Then I started saying this instead:
“Developers bring us their code and we run it on servers in the cloud so they don’t have to manage their own infra”
This clicked immediately.
People understand verbs - not labels.
And no one buys or invests in things they don’t understand.
The medium for political debate is now MVs. The entry cost plummeted with Opus. Music is repetitive, attention grabbing, and slots perfectly into IG and TikTok.
The future of the lightcone will be fought with songs, like in Macross. Deculture!
neuroplasticity works faster under high emotional intensity. if you can resist a craving when it's at its peak, you get a bigger rewiring effect. this is why the hardest moments matter most, they're not setbacks, they're high-voltage opportunities to change.
