I've been exploring the new midjourney editor to combine different photos and it's been of my favorite ways to play with.

Top Gun Maverick was the last recent movie I've watched that has young, fit, happy, optimistic and patriotic Americans.

If you're confident about making predictions, you should also be confident about apologizing when they don't come true.

AI doomers never want to answer the question of how they're going to stop countries like China, Iran and Russia from developing a dangerous AI because they did not stop their progress. How are we as Americans stop a terrorist who have a more advanced AI? The solution is to keep developing our own AI to make sure no malevolent country can threaten us but the beta AI nerds and Democrat politicians don't seem to care about the possibility of another country using their AI to hurt us.

The backlash to Sydney Sweeney exposes how much women hate other beautiful women. Now imagine if they have that much hate towards a rich famous woman like Sydney, imagine how they would treat a poor beautiful girl who works in a fast food restaurant. Any woman who have been poor and beautiful know the full vitriol that they have suffered in the hands of women who are higher up socioeconomically.

Because looks are a form of status among women in a way they are not among men. Women know they are judged by looks first, whether they like it or not. Men are judged on appearance too, but the pressure is usually weaker. That is why female friend groups often cluster by attractiveness because similarity reduces rivalry. Women praise diversity but not when it comes to choosing what their friends look like.

I hope my eyesight is as good as President Trump’s when I’m 80. Is anyone else impressed that he can read without glasses at his age?

Dictator playbook:
- create an imaginary scary problem
- the public is scared
- See? The public is scared so now give us the power to protect you from that problem I created
- exchange your freedom in exchange for your safety
It's for your own good. Trust us.

Everytime I click on the profile picture of people who post their actual picture on X, I'm always disappointed.

Hearing CEOs begging the government "please please come and control me!" and Republicans are like "No, we won't" and Democrats are like "You're going to prison for 20 years" is wild.

It gives me hope that there are still patriotic CEOs who are pushing back hard at weak knee CEOs who think they can negotiate with the Chinese Communist government, you know, the guys who leaked a virus that killed your grandma.

Exactly. Just like in Covid, they view the public as a bunch of dumb peasants who needs to be supervised to do anything. With computers this time!
What is the purpose of passing legislation to ban development of superintelligence?
(1) Halt development of superintelligence.
(2) Restrict the use of the best tools to governments, giant corporations, and the wealthy/powerful.

If we're going to have a self-improving recursive AI, then why can't we also have the same recursive AI that defends and stops threats as it develops in real time?

I find it distressing that none of the AI company CEOs go out to the media and defiantly saying "If any country is going to have the best and the most dangerous AI models, it's America. We're not going to give that advantage to any other country. America should lead the way when it comes to AI". Instead, we get a bubbling, stumbling words like "we should give up our companies to a government and also a bunch of biased third parties should decide our future". Are you kidding me?
