guy who is terrified of being left behind by history

[Alexey Guzey @alexeyguzey]

ppl always get upset at me for saying this but unless you have a very good thesis for not being in the bay area, your probability of being left behind by history is way higher than you appreciate. this used to be the case historically, it's going to be more the case onwards

@captgouda24 Perhaps consider that I’m the least rationalist rationalist who has ever been a rationalist

[Neighborhood Parrot @ParrotRobot]

Some people I think very well of are into the Berkeley, San Francisco, Palo Alto parts of the world, and, qua philosophy, many of those places represent ideas and ways of life that strike me as serious and revolutionary.

But man, qua human, when some of the sociocultural stuff about those communities reaches my boring old engineer’s timeline, and one sees the local Bay Areans’ discussions around that sociocultural stuff, the WTF is so powerful it makes me think there is something very off about the way of life when instantiated into a real society of people who have to live their lives.

Not sure if it is gender skew, age, anti-conservatism about norms, the strange culty insider way of speaking and writing, too much consequentialism and longtermism, money, tech bro culture and power, overvaluation of “rationality” over emotion, or… ? But wow.

I know, painting with a broad brush and all that.

Corporate sponsorship but for a relationship. Who’s building this?

[Daniel @growing_daniel]

relationships in SF either die in a dramatic blowup over intellectual differences or live long enough to become occasional texts with their startups marketing tweets and a "thought you might appreciate!"

@nabeelqu I read AI text constantly but why not just use AI at that point idgi. Like why post

It’s the lottery ticket hypothesis because you never know how the government will respond

[Neighborhood Parrot @ParrotRobot]

Lottery ticket hypothesis guy: why does the large AI not simply eat the small AIs?

I figured out the trick to Twitter. You post the most generic thing you can and eventually you’ll get lucky. Lesson for life
