5 months ago I met a girl on hinge and now she's my best friend

@KEMOS4BE @adcock_brett Maybe it’s like when ChatGPT used to massively hallucinate + its trained on teleoperators who used headsets for data.

So much of what is said about romantic love on this site is so ineffably corrupt and wrong, I almost don’t even want to touch the subject because of how off base the discourse is. I have so much to say. But above all, I’ll say: that true love is not what most of you think it is. It is a return to innocence in each other’s arms, repeatedly. It is feeling safe to be seen in your extreme rawness, in front of someone you trust to hold you there, and love you there, and heal you there. All of this stuff about “high value” this and communication hacks that and even the endless attachment style dialogue … it’s all so missing the point. SO missing the point. The person you love should feel like a still, safe home amidst an unpredictable, chaotic, stimulating world. It should feel like permission to be who you have always been, who you were as a child. Feeling so safe, so held, that you can finally feel all of the things you never let yourself feel when you were protecting yourself, defending yourself, adapting to this intense and unrelenting world on the way to adulthood. In the space of true love, you meet yourself fully. You literally become the most honest and pure version of yourself. Because it’s finally safe to be who you are.

If you have that, if you *really* have that, and you have a shared vision of the future, generally desiring the same kind of life, you can figure the rest out. You really can. Everything else is just a puzzle that you get to ENJOY solving together. Because being together is fun. It’s easy. It’s free. It’s everything that you truly, genuinely want to experience in the presence of another person.

Stop looking for some checklist and start noticing the person who makes you feel at EASE. Still, safe, and present. Who makes your body soften, your breath slow down, and who lets you finally feel truly seen, and loved, in what they see. THAT is what you are looking for. Not some status symbol or pre-constructed avatar that you built in your mind of what love should look like.

I thought OpenAI was cooked but Codex and GPT 5.5 are pretty good.

Wasn't even going to bother trying until OpenClaw got banned from Anthropic Max plan.

What’s a "lost" website from the early 2000s that you still think about today?

[Rob @robmerki]

Hey @elonmusk if you wanna be mega based:
- give Grok a MAX plan
- store zero logs (full privacy*)
- make it work flawlessly with Hermes/OpenClaw

*idk how to guarantee this, but it's important

[Visa is doing marketing consults (see pinned!) @visakanv]

one thing I’ve noticed repeatedly over the years is that generous-spirited people tend to do well and uncharitable people tend not to. and I’ve observed this long enough in enough situations to be pretty sure I’m not making a round-trip fallacy here (success → generosity)

The Montreal Expos are exiting the baseball space. During Q2 and Q3 2026, we will transition to acquiring high-performance GPU assets. This is all part of our long-term vision to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider.

Living without cynicism is so much better. The world is more beautiful. Life feels good.

@tenobrus Yup this is true. This is why he was getting big bucks to do consulting.

@oloal I feel like I’ve become more immune to the ambient dysregulation the more I’ve been able to hold more than one emotion at once. I wonder if we can somehow teach this at scale - it would be wonderfully healing to the world

@tomfgoodwin It’s been longer than 3 years. The past decade+ of startup ideology has been built on dishonesty. Everyone. Is. Lying.

@Empty_America We are living in a new civilization! Or at least, we're in the intermediary period in a transitional stage

Reddit has been completely over taken by AI since January 2025

@ankrgyl Everyone talks about sandboxes and access control. I get it. But conceptually the whole thing is flipped the wrong way.

@cubesol_greg @svpino It’s the 1st stage of grief from the pixelsmith craftsmen who believe code is an honourable artisanal pursuit
