@vividvoid Is the current arrangement of your atoms the most beneficial for the universe? If not, await vaporization.

Who else is an AGI bloomer like me? Who thinks that intelligence actually looks amazingly like wisdom at the highest levels, and that a superintelligence would be something akin to a goddess of compassion, not a paperclipper? Send me recs, send me links, send me reading

@Johnfis08605918 Good little waiter too, don't forget. Magical dance between them.

Chinese in Dubai Marina ? Oh go on then. Bosh

@C_Kavanagh Indeed, massive success in one narrow domain (VC) makes them think they know everything about everything. Although they are definitely very knowledgeable in their areas.

If you have ever listened to All In & are surprised by Epstein’s emails I don’t think you are paying attention. A lot of rich people imagine themselves masters of the universe, see themselves as intellectual geniuses, obsess over status/influence, & have very limited morals.

@AlbertoFdezSoto @JohnRentoul He was clad in armor while his brother was clad in only a Kilt. And their sister? Barely clad at all!

@JohnRentoul "Scantily" and "clad"? I always loved those ones, and I´ve never seen either of them combined with any other words. It is true I am not a native speaker, so I may be missing something.

Just added “nape” to my list of Words Used Only With One Other Word

@WilliamofKent @IamBalhamMatt @JohnRentoul I always thought it was the imaginary part of a fig?

@IamBalhamMatt @JohnRentoul I've seen things referred to as a 'Figment', but I suppose 'of the imagination' is always implied, if not explicitly said.

@GBPHS @JohnRentoul It's a really dumb pet.

@JohnRentoul Petard?

@peitracine @TheStalwart Totally. In a way, they can have their cake and eat it too because they get to "be" the archetype and get to satirize it at the same time. They say "You think I'm a fake try hard? Well, actually the joke is on YOU", meanwhile they get the adulation from those who can't see it.

@TheStalwart It helps explain the wave of postironic content creators who blur sincerity and trolling so that only insiders can tell the difference.

The 40-year old book that describes the effects of digital media. In the newsletter today, wrote about the 40-year anniversary of No Sense of Place, and why it's a lot more satisfying that most contemporary discussions of screens, etc. Sub here: bloomberg.com/account/newsle…

@scottmelker If you believe this is real, you are extremely stupid.

Humans are awesome.

@Tradermayne Heavy. That's your brother AND the government of Saskatchewan. What are you afraid of? REAL CHANGE?

Once you start making money you are going to have a lot of ppl ask for loans or “investments” I’m not talking about strangers on the internet, your IRL friends and family. I’ve done it, a lot, and it usually ends poorly. My advice, don’t lend any amount to friends or family unless it’s an amount you are comfortable never getting back.

@EastAsiaDigital @TrustlessState "Market reset" "Back to realistic levels" ....narrative follows price, that's for sure!

@TrustlessState Looking forward to this! How the f*ck are they going to talk their way out this absolute shitshow! 🤣

10 Episodes in! Here's to 100 more 🫡

@NikkeiAsia Looks like 153 to me.

Yen jumps to 152-level for first time since December on wage growth s.nikkei.com/3EqqJCV

@RampCapitalLLC @Yield_Finder @DOGE Let the boss worry about that.

@Yield_Finder @DOGE But that doesn’t increase productivity

I’m officially submitting this idea to @DOGE The Super Bowl should be played on a Saturday. The Monday after the Super Bowl consistently sees significant productivity losses (from private and public sector), often into the billions of dollars, due to absenteeism, tardiness, and reduced performance among workers. AKA the “Super Bowl Flu”. The fix is simple. Move the game to Saturday. The hosting cities will still benefit on revenue coming in. The players will still have nearly 2 weeks of rest. And the remainder of us can get obliterated without catching the worst Sunday Scaries of our lives. Plus we’d get a full day of recovery before going back to the grind on Monday. Even just a fractional increase on lost productivity could save hundreds of millions of $$. I’d like to see @DOGE and @elonmusk work with the @NFL to make this happen. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

@RampCapitalLLC @DOGE No, just give everyone the day off on Monday.

@psaitard @CryptoCronkite Exactly, never sell anything ever. Valhalla or oblivion.

“Nobody ever went broke taking profits” no they just wanted to jump off a bridge every time they heard a fart for the rest of their life

@CryptoCronkite Something, something, liquidity.

@mattjcan New Zealand better than Australia, confirmed.

What a shocking indictment of Australia's economic direction over the past few years. End Net Zero!

@bmj_latest My guess is "No". Let me know if I was right in the comments.

Does intra-arterial tenecteplase administered after successful endovascular recanalisation improve outcomes in patients with acute arterial occlusion of the posterior circulation? New #BMJResearch investigates bmj.com/content/388/bm…

@fartconthird Strategic reserve.

@JoeListComedy No wonder you get food poisoning so often.

Every year I have the same New Year’s resolution and every year I break it less than a month in. So this year I’m not even going to try…I will never wash my hands after shitting. There I said it.

@nic_carter @_rgxyz_ I think it’s more of a storm in a teacup, tbh.

@_rgxyz_ agreed, think it's a tempest in a teapot

Amusing to see many in tech who hopped on the Trump bandwagon in the last 90 days encounter actual right wing beliefs and realize in horror what they signed up for
