Bioreality

This is admittedly funny…but at the same time a lot of these people sincerely believe that biology isn’t real. Which is pretty damn stupid.

Shell Not in the Ghost

That always happens with AI, though. The better it gets the more the goals get redefined.

If we had a fully humanoid AI with an IQ of 160, a lot of people would declare it a failure if it didn’t like shellfish or something. This will be a constant thing.

Marginal

The people who lost all their money in FTX (or most of it), or in doing inadvisable things like shorting stocks, or going far out on margin and all that — you never win doing things like that. Or very, very rarely at least.

If something sounds too good to be true, it is. Heavily paraphrasing Warren Buffett here, the primary goal should be to survive. If you don’t do that you have nothing. No, I’m not making much money right now in the market, but who cares? I have nearly all the money I already made. I’m doing great. I wasn’t out on margin, didn’t “invest” or put any money in FTX and have free cash I can throw at the market any time I like.

In short, I survived with nearly all my capital and am ready for what’s next. And that’s the way you do it.

Placed Out

The fact is, workplace romances are incredibly common. People who work together often share mutual interests and spend a lot of time together, with predictable results.

Millennials and Gen Z clowns are rending their garments in shame and horror. Can it possibly be true that a lot of people have relationships based on personal connection? Surely not, right? The algorithm must dispense truth, justice, and companionship!

We really fucked up when we convinced millions of people that all relationships were only about power, and that meeting anyone in person was some kind of power imbalance and automatic harassment. What a weird damn set of ideas.
