x is one of the only places where you can showcase your own exceptionalism w/o any credentials, institutional permission, or hell even a real identity.

your ideas & thoughts become your credentials & often unlock a bunch of hidden levels of life.

The banking industry and other legacy businesses have a huge opportunity.

There’s a huge tail of migration work that was too low ROI to do with expensive software engineers.

This will bring on efficiency increases and start the new Industrial Revolution.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

Our latest model advances bring stronger capabilities for building and migrating software in low-resource programming languages such as COBOL, Fortran, and Visual Basic.

These languages power software that banks, governments, and businesses depend on. Progress here means understanding decades of business logic and helping developers modernize those systems while preserving what works.

We’re building these capabilities around the challenges developers and enterprise customers bring us. If your team is working on these systems, tell us which languages and workflows we should tackle next.

AI sharply reduces opportunity cost, what will this mean for the field of economics?

I don’t know who this is but I’ll read up more

@willdepue Not an expert here, it seems like the brain is constantly running on a loop of

1. responding to sensory stimuli
2. background processing

The background processing might explain where the properties of “consciousness” arise from

you can just do things, never forget.
the chains are in your head.
you are not fucking bullish enough.

[signüll @signulll]

needs have a natural point of satisfaction. wants have a moving target.

once a need is met, it disappears. once a want is met, it often creates another want.

that's why abundance solves scarcity but rarely solves desire.

When making money is no longer your goal, that is when you can start being truly effective.

No matter what you do in life, define yourself by what you give to the world, not by what you expect from it

[Henry @henrytheories]

Any learning algorithm will learn how to reward hack. That's ok, after all we reward hacked evolution into our current genetics today.

True Super Intelligence will be achieved with a darwinian evolutionary training paradigm, not RL, not "AI researchers".

The claim that high % CEOs are psychopaths has been debunked. But I think a high % are Autists.

Neurodivergence leads to creativity and making things. Makers win in Business.

Psychopaths are better suited in politics. A zero sum game for Takers.

[Henry @henrytheories]

So many take capitalism for granted and don’t appreciate how nice the modern world is.

Humans evolved to have a zero sum mindset by default. Our brains aren’t really wired for systems level thinking, which needs to be learned (usually in some STEM fields or economics)

[Henry @henrytheories]

Understanding complex concepts/systems has always been the bottleneck to scaling a business, not the thinking part necessarily.

[kache @yacineMTB]

you can outsource your thinking
but you cannot outsource your understanding

kinda creepy that we’re all gona die

[Henry @henrytheories]

The border of life and nonlife is a social construct and impossible to define.

You must vehemently reject the ease of pessimism.

@Scobleizer @SawyerMerritt GM forgets they’re in the transportation business first and foremost. The car market outside of that is relatively niche.
