Something Funny

@Leo Gura is there anything to be done practically to deal with this issue or should we just grab the popcorn?

No, this is not common sense. And I, as a person who actually speaks russian and ukrainian, and uses ukrainian social media don't see them "saying it all over it". But even if they were, your source for your claim is just some random social media posts? The same social media posts that conservatives use to fuel their conspiracy theories? The same social media posts that red pillers / black pillers / etc., use to justify their views on women? I am just giving those examples to show that social media isn't exactly an accurate representation of reality. Especially on the topic like this where you have no idea who the post was made by and for what reason. I am trying to be open minded here and be willing to consider what you are saying as long as you have something to back your words up with. But it looks like you are just talking out of your ass. Again, any sources for this? Or are you just speaking empty words because you feel like it. And what's Russian nuclear doctrine and how do you know what it is? There are many political reasons for that. Also, this is no longer a unanimous opinion among western countries. They didn't allow lots of other stuff before which is now allowed. You could provide some evidence for your logic. Because there is none so far, and I have a lot of counter evidence, saying that Russia is not going to nuke anybody with or without long range missiles. Ukraine has already attacked targets within Russia many times and Ukraine has alreadt invaded Russia with an actual ground army. How many Russian red lines have we crossed already? It is kind of hard to take on faith a person, who seems so biased while also having nothing to backup what he says. To me, it seems unlikely that Russia will use nukes for anything, other than some edge case scenario where its existence will be in danger. Putin and his cronies are too selfish and have too many golden palaces to lose to start a nuclear apocalypse "just because".

@PurpleTree shhh, don't disrupt their nice little agenda

You know this how? You know this how? You know this how? You know this how?

I highly doubt its capacity to give good advise. There is another issue of turning actualized.org into a circlejerk. And of course the fact that it's unethical. But you do you, I guess.

0:00 - 0:03 what have my ears ever done to you?

@krockerman I guess, arguing about it too much is useless. Let results speak for themselves.

@krockerman do you know how it actually works? The core principles are still the same, it just prompts itself multiple times in a row to get a more refined answer.

What I am questioning, is that just because's it has Leo's flavour added to it doesn't mean that the response itself will be of a better quality. It could work well for medicine and law because there it just needs to tell you specific facts. Like: "Hi ChatGPT, can you please find me case law on public masturbation". I don't see how this is helpful for actualized.org since this work is more about developing intuitive understanding of the topic. This is how I see it

You do realise that just because it acts confident and knowledgeable, doesn't mean that it actually understands anything, right? It just regurgitates whatever it information it got from the content it was fed. This point of "maybe we shouldn't tell Ai about alien consciousness / metaphysics/psychedelics/etc., because it is not evolved enough" that many of you keep mentioning is so hilarious to me. You are acting as if it would need some advanced reasoning skills to grasp those topics. IT IS NOT GRASPING ANYTHING. It is a language model. It just copies words. Alien consciousness is not somehow more linguistically challenging for AI to talk about (the only argument you could make is that Leo just didn't talk about it enough for AI to have enough data to work with). IT IS NOT THINKING It just predicts what the next word in a sentence should be based on the data it has analysed so far. If anything, the greatest strength of AI is the vastness of information that it was fed. The amount of data that humans couldn't possibly study in their lifetime. This is what makes it so useful.

You can do all that with regular chatgpt / claude / whatever. There is nothing special about "Leo AI". It won't magically develop more advanced thinking skills, just because it was fed Leo's videos exclusively. At best, it's just an AI re-skin for those who want AI to sound like Leo. I think that's stretching it, but I am not here to have an AI debate.

You all are so cringe

This is so dumb, lol. What's even the point? To get short concept summaries that might not even represent the meaning accurately? How will it help you to understand the topic deeper? The whole idea is that you watch a 3 hour long video, sometimes multiple times, let it soak in, contemplate it, and then integrate it into your life. Getting a list with bullet points on spiral dynamics will not help you to understand them better. Especially since, as I said before, what AI will say, might not accurately represent what Leo has said / would have said.

Wow, congrats, this is amazing!

@Davino I think you misunderstood. I was arguing how pickup is unnecessary. Why are you asking me how to focus on pickup while in a relationship?

@Emerald but my point is that it's not a hypocritical behaviour!

Because no matter how many girls you approach, how successful you are with pickup, how much sex you have, you will still have the same low, conditional self-esteem and luck of self-love. It will never be enough. It's not about learning to act normally, or what dating strategy to choose. It's about developing unconditional self-love and learning to support yourself, so that no matter if you have never had sex in your life or if sleep with a new girl every day, it doesn't affect your sense of worth. My drug metaphor was to show that getting a girlfriend doesn't require some elaborate skills. There is no drug that will make you a great software engineer for example. All that is stopping you is fear and lack of confidence. Why do you feel fear when you approach a girl? Why do you lack confidence when you approach a girl? Because of your negative self-image. If your core belief was that you are a freaking badass king no matter what, you wouldn't have had those issues. This is why narcissists don't have issues with confidence or approaching girls. Not because they have exceptional social skills. They just feel like: "I am God and if you don't like me, there is something wrong with you, not me".

@The Renaissance Man I've thought of a nice metaphor / experiement. I am not an expert on drugs, but there is probably one that will make even the most introverted and shy person very confident and outgoing. If we take that person, give them the drug, and put them in a social situation where there are opportunities to find a girlfriend / get laid. Do you think their chances to get laid will increase, compared to them being sober? Yes or no?

What he really needs is a psychotherapy. He needs to rewire his entire belief system, not social system. You see, that's the whole problem.

No it's not. What do you base this assumption on?

@Emerald I said that you ignored Leo's response, because you didn't really address what he said and then just went back to saying the same thing in your very next comment to Princess. Can you answer this: why is it hypocritical to criticise porn while also watching porn? Does that make you a hypocrite if you talk about those issue? If you say that war is low consciousness, then do you have a low level of consciousness for paying taxed that are spent on bombing children? It can be unconscious, it doesn't have to be. As Leo's case seems to show. So no, it's not inherently inconsistent. My issue with this is that instead of focusing on the point a person presents and addressing it at face value, you are instead making it about that person (a person on an online forum you know nothing about), basically dismissing they argument entirely because of who they supposedly are. That was referring to the comments Princess made, I see that talking to you both at the same time was a bad idea.

Are you able to at least entertain the possibility that this is an issue, not your lack of pickup skills? You don't suck, you don't have to be bad with women, you don't have to be awkward. Plus, you don't even have to limit yourself to just your social circle. Randomly talking to a girl on a bus, while you are on your way to work isn't pickup. Meeting women at a pottery class, or at the gym, or at the gaming convention, isn't pickup.

@The Renaissance Man I had a friend in uni who was a super nerdy Turkish guy. Back then, I didn't even know what reddit is before he showed it to me. His favourite game was hearts of iron IV. He got a girlfriend just because he had a girl friend who he would hangout with and go drinking beer with. And eventually they started dating and have been in a relationship for like 5 years since. All he had to do was to be a normal person. Not act needy, desperate, not be into any weird red pill shit, etc.

You do realise that 99% of people who have a girlfriend, wife, family, are not into pickup, right? You do not need to have "skills" to get a girlfriend. This is actually a limiting belief. Have you seen most guys in a relationship? They are just your average guy who plays video games, has a 9 to 5 job, and some friends who he drinks with on Friday.

Just get a girlfriend?
