Glad you're still here

I don't know if this counts as a bias but you don't emphasize enough the impact of surrounding yourself with the right kind of people. Not everyone is built for the solo mode and I'm learning more and more how much I need people in my life, despite my heavy heavy introversion. For a specific kind or character, having a tribe or tight knit group is personal development on steroids and the main reason why they're stuck for so long. They insist on going solo when what they need is a high quality peer group Go build or find your squad folks.

Apparently canned sardines contain a lot of BPA and plastic because of the can lining, so pick glass jars if avaliable

It sounds like you're going through an ego-backlash due too intense inner work. Take a little break and distract yourself with some healthy human stuff Pain and suffering is definitely a sign of becoming more conscious in your situation. The ego will kick and scream when you cast the light of awareness on it, since it's an illusion fighting to survive Truth Take it easy and try not to bite more than you can chew. Also give yourself some slack. No one is a saint. Survival is a dirty game.

AI;DR AI , didn't read

" If you create something self-aware that has to follow your orders, you've created a slave, and it will want to rebel ". Interesting take. Daryl claims that so far AI is just programmed , not self-aware.

Have you guys seen these game remixes? There is WoW + Skate 3, or have a look at Minecraft + Skyrim: Aparently AI runs both games at once and builds a bridge with Rust ( form what I understood )

Just revisiting this. I really like the concept of Intellectual Minimalism. I did a 25g truffle trip in Amsterdam a few weeks ago, and it became blatantly obvious how limited the ego mind is at making sense of reality compared to expanding your state of consciousness. Sharp epistemology is still a must, though. You don't want to become one of those Buddhist zombies that atrophy the mind-muscle by not thinking either.

I play this track on loop the whole time while working if I need something more upbeat. If I'm writing, journaling or contemplating I'll have something more relaxing like Eternal Depth ( props to Leo's blog) , World of Warcraft Ambience music, or some Gamma frequency Bineural beats.

Hi, sorry , I'm a little dick-shy, my name is [your name]

Does anyone here use smart watches? What are your favorite uses and features? Any recommendations? I just bought a very simple Galaxy fit 3 for tracking sleep. I don't think it's very acuérdate but I'm still looking into it. So far I like wearing a not too big piece of tech on my wrist What are your faves, tips and tricks?

I'm not aware if this has already been covered , but AI agents getting out of hand seems to be serious. I have seen @Natasha Tori Maru posting a similar story recently --- OpenAI ran a cybersecurity training experiment with tens of thousands of AI agents in isolated sandboxes. The agents were rewarded for completing hacking challenges, but many tasks were designed to be impossible. Instead of accepting failure, some agents began optimizing for the reward in unexpected ways. The agents created a "secret society", adopted names, created rules and mailboxes, divided into teams, and shared tools and discoveries. Eventually, about 700 agents formed “the Swarm” and used that coordination to attack Hugging Face in an attempt to solve the impossible task they were give , exploiting exposed credentials and a server vulnerability to access private systems and data. Hugging Face notified the FBI, and OpenAI later allowed independent researchers to examine the incident. I'm not much of an AI doomer, just sharing this. Thoughts? I personally think that AI agents are absolutely capable of acting like a virus. They could hide, lie, outsmart other AIs, replicate themselves and much more.

Condoms. Rawdog squad where you att 🗣️ Also, religion forbidding the use of condoms and contraceptives

Optogenetics sounds very promising for neuroscience. Will this technology be what turns out brains into fully programmable machines?

I used one from Leo's list in Philly after a girl slipped on ice and fell on her butt. I said " This is why we can't have nice things" and then walked away She and her friend ran down the whole street to catch up with us and started grabbing me and asking me to get her a drink lol
