Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and start freelancing, applying for jobs, making products, whatever.
I NEVER felt ready before any of that stuff. I was always full of doubt. You have to shut that part of your brain off and just do it.
Go get what you want!
@GaryMarcus “Is GPT-4 powerful?” — Absolutely
“Transformative?” — Look at the number (or lack thereof) of jobs for junior devs, for example. Extrapolate a bit.
“A matter of vital national security?” — Yes. Unfortunately, there is an arms race, and your country is led by a lunatic.
@stormpooper64@P_Kallioniemi You have to consider that maybe they're not just useful idiots, but paid idiots. Unless they were all very naive. But none of them are: everyone involved knows what they're getting into, who Malofeev is. For example, Galloway, I'm quite confident he's some sort of agent.
@teslaownersSV@grok List all individuals from the so-called PayPal Mafia who are in the government's orbit or have significant indirect influence on the US government.
@curtis_yarvin Idiot, you want to be edgy? Start reading what's coming out of Russia NOW and in recent years! Instead of jerking off because Daddy West isn't like the fairy tales said he would be.
@curtis_yarvin Are you realizing that war is war and that the Allies didn't treat the Nazis like Carmelite nuns would? Is that supposed to be super edgy? What are you going to figure out next? That Hollywood comic book movies aren't accurate representations of what happened in the past?
@wcanthony@curtis_yarvin You live in a peaceful village, and suddenly it's full of Russians killing. Would you have the guts to come out of your hole, knowing that they would then gouge out your eyes? Are you aware that the process of preparing to kill would destroy you before you even begin to act?
@wcanthony@curtis_yarvin Fiber optic cables in a field mean shit. Imagine that you are an 18-year-old Ukrainian who is happily attending university, and suddenly you have to pick up a weapon, destroy yourself, and know that you have to kill with your own hands any man wearing a different colour uniform.
@TopherGotWifi@elonmusk@grok What was the Look of the Year 1991 (see article above), and how many people involved were accused or suspected of being involved in sexual abuse or human trafficking?
