The future is decentralized homesteading in the metaverse where you create farm to table NFTs, while sipping oat milk IRL

Marry someone you’d enjoy running a small, poorly funded summer camp with. That’s most of the job.

I started joining meetings a minute early

I get in, admit the AI summarizer, then say as much as possible about how birds and Wyoming aren't real

After each meeting, everyone gets an email about how birds are camera robots for the CIA, and Wyoming doesn't exist

I've been doing this for 3 weeks straight

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A lot of founders I talk to are worried about what will happen with AI. So am I frankly. But they're actually better off than anyone else. If the world is going to get turned upside down, the safest place to be is in a small, fast-moving company that can easily change direction.

Paul Graham can either refuse to let me take his wife out to dinner or say he believes in meritocracy, but not both

It is underappreciated the degree to which Islam's success has to do with the low-IQ populations that it conquered.

Islam is very crude. It has no intellectually challenging ideas and is heavily focused on carnal things like sex and violence. It's perfect for 85 IQ people.

if you are in your 30s and home ownership and having kids aren't desirable/viable pursuits right now, go to your doctor ASAP

you're seriously unhealthy and need to change something in your life because something is wrong with you (likely diet and exercise)

Pretty much every ruler known as "the Great" inherited power as a youth. Afaik literally no one called "the Great" took power while old enough to serve as President of the United States (35).

AGI=fully-automated luxury communism, which means all that will be left to human beings is consumption, not achievement.

Whatever expectations you have for computers and AI, I suggest you raise them 100-fold.

@AutisticTherapy @vocalcry How often does that chair in the corner get used?

[Covfefe Anon @CovfefeAnon]

The meta question is naturally then "which systems produce good elites?" and it's impossible to not notice that the mainstream elite institutions in America specifically filter for dishonesty and a desire for attaining power while avoiding all responsibility

It is a bureaucratic system that produces the ideal environment for bureaucrats to thrive

[Jesse Singal @jessesingal]

Wait so you're saying that for just 3x the water use of a golf course we can create a ton of economic and intellectual activity that almost anyone can access?

[Stephen Weinstein @stephenw_]

@vocalcry What he's saying here is that your bedroom doesn't look like the ultrawealthy. He is also saying he only knows trashy "ultrawealthy" people. Take from it what you will.

Saying “build affordable housing” is like saying “build used cars”

@passcoderonald He won’t spend “decades” behind bars.
