Something Funny

How do you measure development in this case? Do you have specific traits you judge it by like with high/low perspective. What makes a prostitute objectively less developed? Also, what's the connection between being psychologically damaged and selling yourself for sex? How is it different from selling yourself by being a cashier or a lawyer?

but how? With youtube there are extensions. I am only seeing my subscriptions for example. With reddit there is no such thing.

@The Renaissance Man any specific app recommendations? also, I don't have reddit on my phone, I just use the browser.

@Twentyfirst amazing logic

But why do you think western companie go on to abuse workers there and not in the west? Because they love western people so much and are just racist? No, its because western societies are more developed and have higher standards of worker rights. A random company can't just come along and sart working people death 16 hours a day for 1 dollar. 3rd world societies allow for those companies to come along and abuse thei people like that. Becuase that's already what they standards are. Do you think they local company operate differently? They do the same thing. Apple or whoever is just renting some spots in factories that are owned locally and that also host a lot of local businesses.

@Leo Gura @Joshe I think you are talking about different things. Leo is trying to explain it from the point of developing a better understanding of reality. As in: how come Musk became one of thr most influential people in the world and is now standing innthe white house if he is such an idiot like leftists claim. And Joshe is talking about it from the perspective of looking at the Musk as a role model, saying that he personally doesn't care about all the guts and intellect if there is no integrity. Leo is not saying that Musk is his personal role model. He is just saying having enough courage to make power moves like this is very rare and allows you to advabce very far in life. It doesn't matfer what your personal opinion about it is, it is just how real world functions. *as far as I understand.

I see.

Would it have happened if our former president wasn't an incompetent idiot who decided to bounce the moment things got sketchy? You know that nobody actually threw him away out of the office and hanged, right? He actually made his own decision to run away, leaving a country without leadership for several months, lol. Even if CIA or whoever else was involved, you can't say that they have overthrown the government.

How do we approach this in terms of practical actions though. How much bullshit should we tolerate from people like Musk just because they bring a lot of value to the world? Should we ignore the damage he is doing to the media landscape with twitter? Should we let the nazi salutes slide? Is it actually okay for him to kill 10 babies because of the other lives he saved? Should we tolerate it as long as he "keeps up the great work" in general?

@Leo Gura I see, ok.

But it is kind of the case for the most people, in my opinion. Very few people, like you for example, are genuinely very unique and can offer unique insights about the world. But I wouldn't put billionaire CEOs in that same category. And maybe it's not my place to make that kind of judgement, but then it's also not your place to judge the value of those 10 babies. Who knows what kind of value they could potentially provide to the world.

Not saying that this is necessarily the case with Elon, but how hard is it really to keep growing your wealth if you are already very rich to begin with? You could probably provide nothing in terms of actual value and still keep getting richer and richer. How much of it really is true and how much of it is just stage orange fantasy about being this visionary individual entrepreneur, with life purpose, and changing the world for the better. What would happen if Elon never existed? Wouldn't there just be some other billionaire guy running all those companies. Or other companies doing the same thing? How much worse off would the world be if Elon was never born?

@Topspin715 i also dont see much different between the two. How are they different?

@Leo Gura just curious, would it be very complicated to self-host everything?

@Yimpa

I meant that I said "no" to his statement about two genders. Not as a comment on my identity. But sure, you are right.

@Yimpa they said that there are only two just genders in a thread discussing Trump's statement about it. I said no, they asked me to "justify my assertion".

Imagine having your president running pump and dump crypto schemes, lol

I totally agree with that point of view. Is there a world where you would be fine with the whole thing as long as companies would behave in a more conscious and ethical way? How would that look like in terms of actually running an AI company? Aside from external regulations. Isn't that kind of sad and depressing? What's next? Are we going to have AI tell bed time stories to our children and generate love messages to our partners? I can't imagine having AI replace my coach or making myself take talking to it seriously, like it's an actual real person. Please don't take this personally. I mean this as a general point not a judgement of you.

I've seen many people comment on how AI is theft because it is being trained on all the content created by people without paying them. But isn't that exactly what people do as well? We watch videos, do courses, read books, blogs, etc. And then produce our own stuff based on all the information we've learned. Nobody is expecting you to pay royalties to all the book authors, whose books you've read, after you write your own book, right? As long as the final result is different enough to not fall under the regular copyright / plagiarism laws, then what is the issue?

There are millions of videos online with actual, real life fights and self defense situations breaking out. There are cameras everywhere. Not in one of them do you see people getting subdued with some mysterious, esoteric martial art.

He could make it a challenge for himself to come there, tell the most outlandish bullshit ever, and see how far he could push it with people still believing him. Just for the sake of entertainment. And you would have no idea because he is so good at acting.

Yeah, you can add all the bullshido masters to the same category. Somehow it only ever happens based on hearsay or during their own demostrations with their own students. Never, in 100 years of filmmaking, a single definite proof was able to be recorded. Never, in the 30 years of the UFC's existence, did a single one of those mysterious martial artists show up and threw people around with their Chi or whatever. There are, however, plenty videos of those masters getting embarassed when somebody who isn't "IN" on their demonstration shows up. But I guess participating in an actual fight, or giving a real demonstration, with independent 3rd party observers would be an ego thing. That's beneath them. Turning their special powers into a business and milking them for money is fine however... In that same interview he said that his friends got cured from cancer with ivermectin and a fabric dye. He is also a trump supporter. I hope you can see why I find him sketchy. Also, him being an actor should make you more cautious, not less. Since, you know... he is really good at acting, and by extensions, saying whatever he wants in a super believable way. Just look at the clip you've attached. Listen to his intonations, looks at his facial expressions, they are so sweet and reassuring. I just want to believe everything he tells me just by looking at him for one minute. And to expand on my point about sketchy people. The one time I've heard someone talk about seeing levitating yogis in real life was from my dad's friend, who is a cheater, a shady businessman, and a person with low integrity overall. Color me surprised.

thank you. That was part of my motivation for wanting to create something for Trump.
