I spent my summer in IB. After reaching what was advertised to me as the pinnacle of corporate achievement (for a college student), I expected to be blown away by the great tenured minds behind our behemoth institutions. Nope. It’s retards from top to bottom. The status loss comes from the continual attrition of talent from the industry as smart people discover newer and more discordant ways to make money.
Corporate jobs are going to go from a high status to a low status thing

Listen I hate e girls as much as the next guy. But they are trying to bring back corposlop slave standards and label it professionalism. Understand something: Marc Andreessen said he was retardmaxxing 2 months ago. Clavicular says nigga and is embraced at the all in summit. They can do it because people see “rich and famous” and become dickriders. It’s important we do not let cucked fanboys dominate this discourse

No I won’t delete this. Look at the harm extremist tech doomer rhetoric can inflict. You want to look away and ignore it Dario. Pretend like you can say anything and ppl shouldn’t take you seriously Yud (the stud). Look.
There was a guy that went to Vanderbilt I met on here. He graduated the year I started. Dude was insanely smart. Had tech offers galore. Made a successful translation app that had over 75,000 downloads. He was having an ai-fueled mental breakdown on the timeline. Trying to create a new religion around AI. Genuine schizo stuff. I was the only one who told him in his comments. At first he was receptive. A week later he blocked me. That was maybe 6 months ago. I was curious what he was up to now. Guy has been reported missing for two months. The picture on the left is before his AI psychosis. The picture on his missing poster(right) is genuinely terrifying. There is zero light in his eyes.

I was really struggling on whether this is insensitive to post. But for one, I experienced my own mini version of this (singularity is coming, nothing matters breakdown) and I think ppl should appreciate the repercussions of such extreme rhetoric. It’s easy for you guys to say stuff like that and laugh it off and go about your day. But it’s not that easy for everybody.

Three of Wittgenstein’s four brothers died by suicide. He struggled with suicidal thoughts and was likely a closeted gay man in the early 20th century. He served in the front lines of World War I and spent nine months as a prisoner of war. After inheriting one of the largest Austrian fortunes, he gave it all away. Wittgenstein was hypercritical of himself. He spent long periods in isolation. His friendships were intense and rife with strain. He was ostracized from a rural Austrian village because he beat a kid he was teaching. He worked as a Gardner, and in World War II as a hospital porter. His friends/colleagues had to drag him by his feet to convince him to take on prestigious teaching positions at Cambridge. He died from prostate cancer in 1951 at age 62. By all accounts he lived a tenuous, isolating existence marked with war, death, and intellectual upheaval. Do you want to know what his last words were? “Tell them I had a wonderful life.”

AI Doomers will start pulling Jussie Smollett stunts. As the years go by and they are disproven time and time again, somebody will be desperate enough to do it.
AI Doomers are unironically our greatest national security threat. They are obsessed with creating cyber weapons and bioweapons to prove their paranoia They are sabotaging AI Datacenter buildouts politically And psyopping a whole generation of Americans to be anti-AI

It’s been a bit surreal to finally see the online political-sphere blend into the real world these last few years. Fuentes worked with Ye and had dinner with Trump, Hasan campaigns with Mandani and gets called out at the UN, Destiny…well Destiny is doing something I’m sure.
Netanyahu Calls out Hasan Piker during his UN speech 😭 “Mr Mamdani…you count as friends people like Hasan Piker”

In this situation you need to reverse the power dynamics. You can either call them out to their face: “Why do you talk like that?” Or, my preferred method, just walk away mid way through their sentence. They no longer exist.

To everybody spazzing out about this…it’s fake. She’s not pregnant, there’s no baby. I only know this because I’ve been chronically online since 14 years old and have built a media literacy fortress. If you haven’t been on the net for 8+ years, it’s time to leave. Because you’re going to get brutally mind raped by everything.

Been in NYC for about a month and I think this photo sums up what it’s all about Pure grit. I have no idea who this guy is but he was on a call and his setup (laptop, mouse etc) was on a dumpster If your not motivated living in NYC something is wrong with you

If there was a “least likely to succeed” award in high school, I probably would’ve won. Ppl thought I was dumb. I remember showing my friend my SAT score and he was adamant I photoshopped it. 4 years later I’m on a very promising track. Put your head down and grind.
All the greatest men I’ve known were, at 16-25, either complete bums or at best ambitious and mildly promising young men.

“We Are Young” by Fun. was originally a Kanye West song. It was intended for Watch the Throne with Jay Z, but they ended up scrapping it. Here’s the demo. Beautiful.
