@creation247 You need to start reading Isaac Newton on the history of the church. It will change your view forever.

@Camp4 Be a venture capitalist. Buy your old self, learn how it works, cut the chaff, keep the wheat. Then scale what's left.

@levelsio To have dominion and subdue: "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion ..." Gen 1:28.

@itsolelehmann Higher pricing is often the best way to filter out bad customers. Also, always charge up front.

@Grummz Everything is either in the AI/Robotics supply chain, or deprioritised.

@aakashgupta I agree about Meta buying Limitless to close them down, but how do you explain that they haven't realised the pendant is simply a microphone with SD card, and the app is just using Whisper and ChatGPT? In other words, there's no novel tech there at all.

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

Yep, @LimitlessAI sent me an email saying service was terminating in the UK yesterday, with no warning, no explanation, no offer of refund or compensation. Feel very let down to say the least.

[REESZY 🔌 @ezreeszy]

First time in years there’s a great tech product @LimitlessAI, Meta buys it, just to shut it down with a 2 week notice, while 1 year of subscription gets nuked & my hardware becomes bricked.

Crazily disappointed @dsiroker

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

@CultureExploreX Grooming is perhaps a bad word for it, but certainly there’s a lot to be said for employing straight out of school at 18. Then if they want to go to uni on day release, that’s a double win - earn while you learn.

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

@itsolelehmann Yes, and it’s greatly improved as a result!

@magnushambleton I chose the red door. The Green door will just inflate money over time until it is worth nothing. I will then have a lot of nothing.

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

@kaluwi Yeah, you just suck 😂. Or you don’t know what “world class” means. Most people can’t code. They don’t reach even 0. So for them, it’s an infinite gain. A 2 is as good as a 10, relatively speaking.

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

@esrtweet Yes, we should view LLMs as an exoskeleton or Ironman suit.

[Robin de Jongh @robindejongh]

@esrtweet Being accused of “Racism” now just means you’ve been paying attention, can think for yourself, and can recognise patterns (and are willing to stand by the truth of what you know).
