How do I get in contact with support if I can't join the Discord? I have a legacy nested bird that I'm trying to get resolved and it's asked me to contact support. I tried to join the discord and says the link is invalid, I think I used to be part of the old Proof server and somehow looks like I got banned, and then maybe IP banned because I tried to create a fresh discord account and I get instantly kicked from the server after joining.

[BLAKE BOTTRILL💧 @BlakeBottrill]

@Spencer if my bird is still legacy nested do I need to find a way to unnest it from the legacy site and then renest it in the new portal or does the new portal automatically account for that?

Still running into some bugs but the link to join Discord is telling me it's expired so I can't contact support.

Are you gonna extend the 7 day initial claim window for people still having tech issues?

[BLAKE BOTTRILL💧 @BlakeBottrill]

@moonbirds still getting errors on the claim site and the link to join the discord on the website to ask questions is expired or invalid?!

[BLAKE BOTTRILL💧 @BlakeBottrill]

@birbpax @birbpax I can see the SBTs on Magic Eden so we will just hope it's a bug I guess.

[BLAKE BOTTRILL💧 @BlakeBottrill]

@birbpax any idea why my CG or NMBN tokens don't show up in birb loyalty portal despite being connected?

EVM and SOL wallets connected and the transaction hashes minted properly.

I loved Dan Brown's new book, The Secret of Secrets.

It's maybe the most accessible overview of the work around non-local consciousness out there, even if it's a bit thrillerized.

It felt like asking an advanced AI that knows how to write something readable to "take all of the most interesting ideas on consciousness from @AmericanALCHMY and write it as a thriller." It was cool to see names like Hal Puthoff, Joseph McMoneagle, Dean Radin, and a bunch of others in a pop fiction book.

I'm happy that a lot of people will be exposed to these ideas through this book and the upcoming Netflix series. Another step towards The Return of Magic.

@packyM Friday lunch service at the Times Square Olive Garden.

you ever think about the fact that everything is always just going on?

like that one restaurant you went to 10 years ago in another country is just open right now, the hostess is seating people there as we speak.

even at 40, i dont really have regrets about not living up to my potential

i dropped the ball on many things over the years

most regrets are working on stuff I didn't ultimately care about, not trusting myself, not being adventurous enough, not listening to my curiosity

This seems like an extension of the calculator problem.

The answer is a new paradigm of learning, not enforced Luddism.

Caveat: I understand the traditional education system is never going to move fast enough to make this happen. Act accordingly.

[Paul Novosad @paulnovosad]

AI leaders should spend more energy reckoning with this fact.

A generation of kids is losing their best opportunity to learn how to read, write, and think, and they will pay the price for their whole lives.

It’s not every student. Some students are becoming more empowered and knowledgeable then ever. But there is a big big big chunk of kids who are GPTing through everything and will learn far less in high school and college, and our entire society will suffer that lost human capital.

All of the desirable people - the ones that you actually want to work with, spend time with, or date - won’t apply for the job.

They have to be identified from afar and hunted down.

Starting the podcast back up after a year hiatus to dedicate more time to our new little guy.

Doing some research on guests and stumbled across a woman who has written a book titled: “When The Universe Holds Your Hair Back”.

More people probably need to hire her publisher.

How do men take care of their mental health if they don’t talk to friends about their struggles and don’t find a therapist helpful?

Canadians, for decades, have prided themselves on being “not Americans.”

They’re getting exactly what they want.

The victory lap feels bumpy because they’re driving into their two car garages over millions of young people.

State propaganda works I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Katya Sedgwick @KatyaSedgwick]

Canadians need to start loving their kids more than they hate America.
