@Evilbeanx88 See lah. Already told you not to be part of the problem 😂

@ASvanevik @hoeflatoor and economics

@hoeflatoor nobel prize in literature

The crux of this issue is language, culture, and thought - not money or space. The language that Singaporean culture is built on worships the idea of fiat progress as the main goal. As such, everything is viewed within the lens of "bank account go up/down". When a society has calcified into this belief, no amount of monetary spending by the government can solve the issue. They are in a deadlock with themselves, with the beast that Temasek Inc. created. Fundamental policy issues have led to this, be it the language campaigns that got rid of dialects and uprooted current generations from being able to connect with their past (another driver for low birth rates), to the "Stop at Two" campaign. We are a majority Han country - as such, we are +10 IQ, +10 social conformity, -10 risk taking -10 love/happiness/romance (we have a deficit in the genes for soul and expression). Inevitably the other races like the Malays and Indians get dragged into our psychological orbit by osmosis, and the continued push of inflation and modernity's obsession with more leads to the decreasing of birth rates. Religion and faith are big drivers of desiring children and increasing the birth rate. However, the secular religious experiment of Singapore has largely failed, with the implicit religion of our nation being the rat race and a chase for more and more. The reason why the Malays are more impervious to the devil's trickery is partially the lower average IQ, but also the deep connection they have to their extended families. The Chinese have far less familial connections, and are more isolated as a race. While the majority of top-performing Indians in our nation are Christian/Catholics, they too are buying the belief that education above all else creates a society that views children as a penalty and punishment. There are multiple ways to fix the birth rates, we might call it, "The Fertility Question", to nod at previous visionaries. A radical reset of a universal endowment would incentivise a brief spike, but ultimately would fall as inflation continues to reduce the value of such a bonus. Women are the deciders of which male genes are passed down to the next generation. In the case of the high-IQ Singaporean female, university educated (foreign uni, if upper-middle class) - to find a male suitable of reproduction is a fool's errand. 2 years of NS hampers their economic standing, and by the time they have caught up and begin to fulfil their potential (early/late 30s) - the damage is already done. The idea of the "wall" for births as well persists due to our ministers being specialized organisms, like worker ants specified to simply trim one part of the poplar tree, while other ants fulfil their roles in the anthill. A reasonable man, with an open enough mind, would understand that today, women in our nation WILL give birth in the right circumstances, and HE has to create those circumstances - but we are not governed by reasonable men. We are governed by the ghost of a dictator watching over the shoulder of menial laborers, where their thought processes revolve around election numbers and approval, and not the Will To Power. The Iron Rice Bowl produces rot over time, because when grains continually appear for the holder - they do not wash the mold, the dirt, the detritus from it. The wall is reversible, women can have families deep into their 40s-50s with the right technology and health guidance, but our medical system is so fossilised that to even suggest this might get you thrown into IMH. All of our current problems can be fixed - it is that we are trapped in a loop that refuses to fix them for the psychological price to pay is too much. The inability to go against the tribe is why we are where we are. So many policies could be enacted overnight to begin boosting birth rates. For one, the shaming of wealth for the masses must begin. Plutocrats and wise merchants will know it is not for them - there is always a loophole for the mercantile man! But the only way Chinese-based societies move is through negative feedback loops. Undoubtedly, this can change, BUT we are in dire times. If a family, a man, a woman, is unmarried and without child and has ample resources, he must be maligned and mocked more than the NSF with no means or power. We must raise up the value of children and families, we must hold up the ideals of sacrifice, of building for the future higher. A complete radical shift of culture and thought must take place to solve this issue otherwise, more radical solutions (female immigration visas) will have to take place. The Great Replacement in Singapore is already at hand. I am shocked that the government does not consider raising the population of Whites in the nation from where it is now, to an enclave that rivals the Indians and Malays. The West is largely still out of order, and may only repair itself in the coming decade. This gives us 5-10 years to easily immigrate the English speaking, higher-earning, more risk-taking population that has escaped out of Europe, and undoubtedly some will be hypergamous men leaving us with plenty of Eurasians. But no matter - the state can and easily will take care of these kids. We have the reserves. Much better to spend them on bastard children than to lose them in another FTX scenario. There are also huge pockets of the world where 2nd/3rd world nations with genetic material compatible with Singapore's society exist. The concept of a female immigration visa will inevitably become a parliamentary debate in 10-15 years (Hoeflatoor frontruns as per usual, again), because of Singapore's soft power growing alongside Chinamaxxing and our modern airport, our safe streets, our stable society. We seek to hand out more PRs next year. Why not open the floodgates and bring in a swathe of women from Central/Eastern Europe where their GDP per capita is a fraction of ours? Why not bring in the South American women, whose bodies are built for a tropical climate and thus far more relaxed than our Hansect majority? We have already transmorgified into a globalistic society that was not the case 60 years ago. We might as well go the whole damn mile. A close friend of mine married a Mexican - I have never seen a happier (and fattening) man thus far. If we accept that our society must be moulded, let's go all the way. True eugenics. True world-making. Huxley and Darwin would be proud. This solves the male/female dynamic where the man has to have more earning power, introduces a more open genome into the Singaporean bloodstream, and the subsequent mix may even bring forth the next LKY level genius to bring our nation forward. But this sort of solution is mocked and laughed at, said impossible - but still, the birth rates continue to drop. No innovation. No progress. No real thought. Loops upon loops upon loops. In a way, our governmental system functions like a swarm of LLMs repeating each other's prompts to each other, and the hallucinations are beginning. The issue of a Han-based society is that the women judge on finances and power, not on soft skills and romance. A Hokkien businessman will spend 100k on a sugar baby that does nothing for him, when $300 in Brazil would have bought him love that his soul has never experienced. This is also why the first airline to bridge South America and Asia will cause an existential crisis to the women of Singapore - an average Carioca woman commands far more love and affection than our local cbs could. It would be like letting loose a pack of ravenous dingos into an island of dodos. Considering how we walk as a society, with our hips, waists, and backs locked in existential, psychological pain - it is what it is. When a culture cannot reproduce, the culture has failed. We are a tiny nation teetering on the brink of extinction, and our rulers do not understand the ways in which we can fix it, albeit with out-of-the-box thinking. But the Singaporean politician cannot think out of the box - he does not even know the box exists! The Truman Show, but on Oxley Road. The Kiasu mind and its consequences have been a disaster for the Singaporean people. Because we live in fear, we cannot reproduce. We are trapped on a tiny island, where our cost of living continues to creep ever higher, where we are gaslit into believing we have one of the greatest passports on the planet, yet the average sinkie cannot leave. A humid hellscape where if you lift a finger to express anger at the uber-rich, you will be hung. A man turned into a docile pig, walking a cage lined by trees imported from Brazil. Yet LKY was already replacing the flora with other tropical organisms. He knew! Why not we simply start bringing in the fauna as well. So simple. So genius. Yet, so maligned and misunderstood (me). For a population to reproduce, it must believe that a better future exists or that they are reproducing to outlive an enemy. Yin and Yang. But our politicians have bought climate change hook, line, and sinker, letting its devious claws hook into the younger populace - I don't want to have kids, the environment! The space! The money! The population is not to blame, nor are the women - the blame is on the cultural system as a whole, the organism, the way it thinks and speaks. We have cast a spell on ourselves, where we believe that the only form of success is climbing up the ladder. That is the only form of success, our children turning into PSLE top scorers. We do not view life as sanctimonious and beauty and an obligation to bring forth - it is to be feared, to be worried about, to be stressed over. This trapped mindset is why we cannot breed. Too much higher thinking for the future, not enough relaxing and enjoyment to make love, to conceive, to dream of better days and nights. Increasing female dating competition will force the lowering of standards and cultural shift (female immigration) - but unlikely. Changing our cultural dialectic towards children, towards the idea of "success" as a whole will solve the issue - but unlikely. We are staring at the iceberg of death on our tiny ship, charging towards it ever closer, and the clock is ticking. To fight against the tide of a psychological mass of millions is nigh impossible. It will require a Man of Superior Will to turn the odds. I shall pray for us all today. God be with you!

@Evilbeanx88 Stop burning GPU cycles lah

kek this is wild

@RVAClassic @graciehartie That's a low bar but fair enough.

@graciehartie Safer than America

Has anyone told the “tech bros” hackers in Forest City that the land they are standing on is dangerous? It’s a reclaimed land & they didn’t do this properly so the land is at risk of sinking anytime.

@nocturnaldotxyz Didn't know head dev has his own T2V AI model 😂

lmao our head dev accidentally forwarded this to our nocturnal group chat 😭 our engagement has been low, so I'm posting here for some likes

@Xeer Sorry I support you less since I've met you IRL 😂

Nobody supports you more than a CT friend that you have never met IRL.

@Xeer Hoping to earn $ through engagement obv

serious question: why do people pay “reply guys” to spam AI slop replies under millions of tweets… while also generating their own AI slop content hoping others will come reply to their slop? the infinite slop paradox.

@Xeer I see Seletar Hills in the background

View from my balcony overlooking Upper Seletar Reservoir, Singapore:

oh yeah i should have linked autoresearch probably github.com/karpathy/autor… (you don't "use it" directly, it's just a recipe/idea - give it to your agent and apply to what you care about.) and the tweet about it that went mini-viral over the weekend with more context x.com/karpathy/statu…

Everybody is watching the Strait of Hormuz, but they should also be watching Singapore. The image on the right are all the laden tankers sitting in an around Simgapore. The one in the left, with less ships, are loaded Very Large Crude Carriers. There is usually about 100M barrels of oil at anchor in an around this area daily. This does not include oil that is moving. The disruption from the Persian Gulf is about to hit Singapore as the number of ships coming across the Indian Ocean has been reduced (there are still ships loading from the pipeline at the UAE and the Saudi terminus on the Red Sea. As that pool of ships declines around Singapore (which includes some Dark Fleet ships involved in illegal ship-to-ship transfers) the need to open the Strait of Hormuz increases in importance.

@wassielawyer Sir, you has won the interwebs today.

Nice middle class Asian family but that ain't winning. Winning is the patriarch running borderline illegal business in a primary industry in Indonesia, Philippines or Cambodia or misappropriating state assets from a China SOE before moving to Singapore under the Global Investor Programme and hard pivoting into real estate bc it’s the one thing your overseas enemies can never seize. If patriarch is Singaporean to start with, wealth is from a questionable “trading” / “consulting” business involving members or alleged members of the Malaysian or Thai royal family. A guy who knows people in East Timor might be involved somewhere. Money is invested into cash flow businesses or real estate because it’s the easiest way to launder the money. Oldest son is groomed to take over the real estate empire / cash flow business but gets sent overseas to university for “exposure” and either turns out gay and decides to pursue art / music or becomes a lawyer / accountant that wants nothing to do with the skeletons in the family closet. Either way they are a disgrace. Younger son is left to his own devices. Either ends up in Ivy League if naturally high IQ and then goes to New York / California or fucks it all up and is sent to study business management in Australia to save the family face. The former shows up every 3 CNYs, the months before the patriarchs death and the will reading. The latter discovers drugs and hookers and will be recalled by the patriarch to permanently occupy a seat as “director” in the family office and various portcos where he can do literally no damage to the family’s reputation or wealth. The daughter(s) grow up spoiled. The patriarch likely optimized for a hot wife so depending on the dice roll, the daughters either end up hot as fuck like mummy or somewhat resembling a bloated toad like daddy. The hot ones will at some point attempt an influencer career, possibly venturing into money-losing business ventures like skincare, spas or bars which daddy will write a blank cheque for. Depending on repression level, she might bring home an Indian man at some point just to give dad a heart attack. The 4D chess move here is for the patriarch to throw a minor fit before accepting her choice - they will break up within 6 months in that case. If the patriarch objects, she will marry him and the family will have to cope by constantly exclaiming how cute Chindian babies are. The ugly ones will go overseas to study something completely worthless and promptly identify as a they/them, likely also finding their way into body positivity movements. Likely dead to the family until she comes crawling back in her 40s to look after the aging parents after realizing she spent 15 years hanging out with retards with nothing to show for it. Christianity might be discovered along the way. The success in this family is that none of this shit fucking matters because daddy's gains have compounded so hard that he can sit in his GCB with four Ferraris, five mistresses and an entourage of hanger-ons knowing that none of the generation's fuckups matter (except maybe deep down, the Chindian babies if any) because he never had expectations of greatness to begin with. He will die knowing he can never be overshadowed and that the family's legacy is his and his alone. And that is what winning as a family looks like.

Aaaaaand this is why on a long enough timescale Singapore is destined to go to zero because we simply don’t produce geniuses. Our entire society produces a hum of cortisol that destroys geniuses from the moment the seed of man is placed into the earth. We are an untapped body of potential that keeps rotting away as a midwit filled political class toes the line and circles the drain of endless efficiency without efficacy, of bright lights and colors without an ounce of soul. Any opposition is marked, besmirched, raided, driven out of the nation. Any man who dare speaketh with clarity and poise against the state is silenced the moment his thoughts reach critical mass. We’ve imported half of the mainland yet can’t even bring in beautiful ones to inspire the men of the country to create more, to build more, to sacrifice for more - for glory, for humanity, for the idea of a Singapore that is loving, that will hold your soul till the poles flip and all is rewritten once more. This does not exist. The world in which genius that could save us does not exist. The bad guys won the wars, our systems are corrupt, you only need to notice who seems to give constant opinions in Straits Times to realise that we truly are just pawns in the political game, and we are deeply embedded into the religion, the faith of growth, endless immigration, and a nanny state that can consume and hoard like a proverbial dragon on its pile of gold. Singaporeans are thus the villagers that protect the fiery beast, that toil in the fields of fiat, shuttling from office to chagee shop like worker ants, entertained by the pings, whistles and pops of the smartphone, always chasing the next thing. The next condo. The next upgrade. The next holiday. The next morsel of entertainment and food. The idea of rebellion? Gone. The idea of leaving a mark? Erased. The idea of taking RISK, of stepping out, of doing more - why would you? Why would you create more as a happy ant in a colony, watching your slop on a couch with a ceiling fan, when the streets are clean and the social contract inevitably works? Why would you try to step against the hive, when there is all to lose and nothing to gain? But this is where the corporative goybeam of Singapore is destined to fail. One cannot import genius, because genius provides solutions that are unique to the environment. For example, the 90% myopia rate of the nation. There is an easy, simple solution that would reduce this near overnight in children - simple red light bulbs in classrooms and replacing the harsh blue lights with warmer bulbs. But to suggest this in political office is suicide, one would be mocked, laughed at, in spite of the depth of evidence that it could and would save millions in costs for Singaporean parents, and also boost health in our children. But we do not care. Eat your slop. Slurp ur mee pok. Watch ur Korean drama. Y u want try so hard? How much u make? How is ur career going? All these questions get thrown at any Singaporean that dares to help his nation in a different way, to say, we could do more. We could be better. We must improve. Or the rise of autism and early child health - beyond reducing toxicity of food and water supply, we grant families up to 45k per child. How much does a 9 month supply of progesterone cost for a gestating mother? The benefits of it are studied and documented. We would have the requisite high IQ child to BE the genius, and then we would just need to tweak the culture for it to become full fledged. It would solve the autism as well. But all of this falls to the wayside for the chase of capital. For the endless pursuit of the dollar. To bend over and prostrate ourselves to world powers. To trade our citizen’s very space and land for immigration. The government wants 12 million on our island and they have gone mad. We are the spiritual ouroboros of the 21st century. We are the capitalistic cattle. We are the golem that built the Tower of Babel. We are lost from God.

@empirelab Nice

@Lysda_eth So LLMs worse than MBS eh?🤣

Emmm i have around 4 figs left to my name after using claude, but at least i have a super cool thing where the AI reads my email and chats for me

my honest thoughts after using openclaw/moltbot/clawdbot: after 24 hrs of usage i dont use it anymore for anything genuinely serious just use claude code/codex directly, hosted on a server if i want on-the-go work openclaw uses tokens like a mf and it is NOT efficient at all you also should not be connecting personal services/apis together in one bot you should be taking security seriously and isolating each service with different ai systems you do NOT want to infect sensitive information in an agent that can also access the web or social media (like, moltbook, which is accessible via an api call lol) it’s great for prototyping though! but again, claude code can easily do these prototypes solo next i will be experimenting with kimi k2.5 on the regular claude agent SDK on isolated sandboxes and see how that performs!

Lol everything is AI now eh

@Jacobsklug @openclaw @Lovable OS

I'm giving away my entire @openclaw architecture. Behind my $250k/month agency. After weeks of building, I've dialled in the exact system that runs my business 24/7. What's included: • Memory folder structure (how to organize agent context) • Cron job templates (daily briefs, meeting syncs, content automation) • How to build a custom dashboard in @lovable • API reference doc (so your agent never forgets its tools) • Voice training method (85 posts to teach it your style) • Supabase schema for dashboard connection Comment "OS" and follow. I'll DM it to you. P.S. This will probably blow up so give me some time to reply.

• Maguire drags everyone to the back post like he’s the target. • Mainoo darts from the second post into the danger zone for Bruno’s pass. • That movement triggers Amad to pull Simons away (So Mbeumo can shoot). • Mainoo rolls it perfectly to the penalty spot. • Mbeumo keeps it low, aiming for the corner. • Maguire, Shaw & Casemiro block every Spurs body in sight. Perfectly worked set-piece. Not a single soul near the keeper. That’s how you do it, Arsenal 😭😂 #MUFC

Very nice prototype by @Lysda_eth
