Butters

None of that is good advertising, yet it still wanna do the program. Why do I have a desire for Truth when it's so horrible aka death? I came preprogrammed with some desire for it, cause deep down I know what I am, and some part of me is looking to reconnect?

He will get it right on the second prompt though. Paints a whole fence in 2 prompts is still impressive to me 😝 And why does it say IA? Lol

Yes this sums up my day-to-day.

Wait, what? Aren't the sub agents that it spawns already those? I thought the sub agents is the reason it eats so many tokens. I've just been asking fable to write plans into .MD files and sending those to Opus 4.8 /w ultracode myself.

It works fine for me, but that's an app that helps me run my business. Creating that for users would require an actual programmer.

Yes, but it works a little different now than back in the day. You just download the game and can level through any past expansion up to level 70 on the regular subscription. Only after that would you buy the latest expansion, or just level another character.

Even though I was hating on WoW here I actually started playing again today 😁 I've read about the changes and I really like the idea of Chromie time. I'll just be questing and doing some battlegrounds and see how it goes. Haven't played since Cata btw, starting as a Monk now, just to respect the chronological order. Back in the day I only really cared about PvP.

At some point the entire forum will have their Usual Suspects moment, and realize that Leo was YOU all along. *drops coffee* Does anybody actually remember that movie? Seriously, how STRANGE would that be, to realize it was all YOU all this time? Like, that's the definition of strange. And it's also extremely homosexual. Leo said at some point that movies based on truth don't sell but I don't think so. I mean isn't love truth? Many movies about love.

Cuz you're playing all these games. Just make it very clear from the beginning: you are here to FUCK.

It's my favorite channel before sleep. Gives me perfect tingles in my forehead, behind my eyes and makes me very calm and happy.

Of course not. You gotta tap from inside because it's all you

But the actual serous usage of the OpenAI and Claude technology is through their coding agents, not the chatbots. There are workflows and agents eating up thousands of times the tokens of someone just chatting. That's where the actual heavy usage is at.

I doubt it.

How can you debate the usefulness of AI when it literally changed warfare? Fully autonomous drones in the Ukraine and Iran wars is now the standard. So"it's just a dumb autocorrect chatbot" clearly doesn't hold.

But more compute will only lead to tiny improvements at this point, it's called the diminishing returns of AI scaling laws. At the current frontier, moving the needle just a fraction requires doubling or even 10x-ing the total compute budget. What actually makes sense is creating better harasses, which is why Claude Code and others have become significant in the last 12 months.

@something_else very cool, so what is your company's monthly API cost? 😁 So you guys ship live features to live customers, but do you have more work correcting the vibe coded stuff or not? Has your work now shifted to other areas? I use Claude code a lot these days. For my one-man web design business I have a set of SOPs for it to follow and Claude basically one-shots WordPress websites at this point. The work for me is just everything outside of the SOP stuff. But I'm doing things now I would have never been able to do without hiring remote staff. Then a customer might send me a whole list of revisions, photos to change, God knows what, I don't even read it just give it straight back to Claude and it builds exactly what the customer asked. Same for the sales process, although that requires a bit more human intervention.

Thanks man. Actually, the whole reason I'm able to contact clients so quickly and at scale is because of AI. I also use it to build WordPress websites which really helps.

Alright, my first journal on here, let's make it count. Goal: €10.000 per month net income (after tax) Timeframe: 5 years (June 2029) Reason: So I can travel while doing stand-up comedy and not having to worry about jobs or money in the future Currently: €28K in debt with almost no income First, I've realized that I don't care about money. The thought of buying cool stuff or experiences doesn't have the same kind of trigger that it used to. Doing my artistic pursuits, doing stand-up, having meaningful interactions with other people, that is the real thing for me. The fantasy of having lots of money is BYPASSING, just to escape the hard things and building mastery in my domain. I don't care if I'm broke, as long as I can do my comedy and have my own thoughts and feelings. I only care about the person I am becoming in this process, because I like that person. So now money just becomes practical, and for practical reasons I would like to have an income. I believe that having a 10K pm income would increase the quality of my life since it'll allow me to travel the world while doing stand-up, creating content, learning new things and further developing my character. History: I've dabbled in my online business things but mastered none. I've built and sold websites, I've done affiliate marketing (Clickbank), YouTube channel and many other things. Most notable is I started a Print-on-Demand Etsy shop in 2020 that has done over $500.000 in sales (not profit, not even close). This was my only income between 2020 and 2024. This business failed for several reasons, mainly; not enough commitment, poor financial management, increased competition (especially in 2023 and 2024). Leo said in his recent Being Wrong episode that he had lost his life purpose for over a year and I was in the same position. I denied who I really was and tried to become someone else. That was a big mistake. Now I understand the value of my LP even more. And the goal of my business should always be to support my LP and not be about the money or anything, that's an escape. Current situation: Right now I have 1 YouTube channel that I make videos with AI. It's not yet monetized but has 1050 subs and was only started 4 months ago. I also have an Etsy shop selling digital items that's making some sales now but not yet profitable. I'm entering into a government debt relief program which will restrict my access to money and whatnot for the coming 18 months. This is probably gonna suck, but should give me time to focus on my stand-up while learning new business skills. So 18 months from now I can start making money and be debt-free. The debt was created from borrowing money into my business (sole proprietorship) but not really growing. The debt snowball just increased which made me stressed and less capable of making sane business decisions. How to make money: First understand WHY I want to make money; so I can focus on stand-up. This WHY is so damn important, it influences every other decision. If I forget the WHY, I've pretty much failed. Like I said if I am a full-time comedian and always broke for the rest of my life, I'll take it! This making money stuff is just for practical purposes. So here are my making-money criteria: Not employment Not sales of physical products Must not consume too much of my time Must not be location bound Must not be bound to specific times Must not be a public persona; my public persona is as a comedian. So if I can't post a bit about me jerking off while high on Molly on my IG then forget about it. Must be ethical (my personal definition counts here) Makes me feel good about my work and myself Be future-proof (AI and stuff) No employees (virtual staff is okay) Scalable Most important factor. once again, is this is a tool to help me maximize my artistic potential, which is why there's so many negatives (not's) on this list. Right now on the top of my mind is learning to create funnels so I can help high-ticket coaches and public speakers get more clients. This seems to be a sensible thing to do. I could charge a retainer of perhaps $2K pm per client, or way higher retainers, as long as I get them clients. I also love the personal development niche so helping these people seems to fit my criteria. Also, having the ability to get people clients is always good and always worth money. And by mastering funnels I can also create my own funnels and do some affiliate marketing for existing online programs. I don't see this dying out anytime soon. In fact, when it comes to live personal development seminars, those will probably be way more popular in the AI age. I'd enjoy networking in this field too, so that's a plus. I downloaded Iman Gadzhi's Agency Navigator course a while ago and he talks about outsourcing. So once I master funnels, I could (as an agency) outsource the actual PPC ad management for low prices to quality third-world freelancers. My focus would then be on overseeing the projects, getting clients and of course managing the customer relationships. Part 1: Mastering Funnels So here we go. The first part of this journey is to master funnels. Spend 1 hour or more to learn everything there is about funnels in 2024 and in the future. This could also be a valuable skill if I host my own comedy shows later on to selling tickets and running these events. There's also a part of getting better at managing my money, but I'll get into that later. Step 1: spend 30 minutes every day learning about funnels.

I think attractive women can flip some switch, like they can hide their attractiveness and turn it on in certain moments which is why sometimes you see almost none and other times many. And also they usually don't behave sexually close to the house because of stalkers.

For what purpose? I heard they're good for recovery and muscle growth.

I haven't studied it. I don't have access to the book where I am right now (traveling). My main source has been this guided meditation At first I found the effects quite strong. I would stop early for that reason. But now when I do it in bed it's not that strong anymore. What are the desired effects of doing this? Should it feel mild or strong? Do you do it at set times or throughout the day?

Can't argue with it. I mean doesn't this perfectly describe our time now? Remember: Trump, Netanjahoo, Putin, Erdogan, all democratically elected.

You should just look up the history of Singapore yourself. The guy took it from nothing to one of the most thriving economies in the region in just a few decades.

Chapter 3: Faro, Portugal Somebody at the hostel told me there's a lot of Dutch people in the south of Portugal, and he mentioned Faro, so I bought a bus ticket and went. On a whim, just like I ended up in all other places so far. Bus took about 3.5 hours and the landscape was relatively boring, just hills and pine forest. The lady sitting next to me was really nice. She offered me an old biscuit and I accepted it to be polite. It tasted like cardboard. I offered her a croissant in return but she didn't want it. Arriving in Faro felt weird. I was used to the city, and now I was in this beach town in early March, well outside the season. The upside was there were plenty of private rooms available for ridiculously low prices. I would stay at proper hotel rooms for €20 /night. And by proper hotel room I meant noisy with a shared bathroom, but still a massive improvement over hostels for less money. Library was decent, much better than the Lisbon or Porto ones that were overcrowded. Actually was feeling a bit sick in the beginning so couldn't even work that much.

I started living as a digital nomad in January of this year. That means I canceled my rent (or got kicked out, whatever) and started traveling around while working on my laptop. Here I will talk about the places I visit and some of the lifestyle and challenges I guess. Feel free to post here and participate! I'll try to summarize one place or topic in one post in here to keep it somewhat organized.
