oh jeez mossad operatives... that downvote. That is not rational behavior. It is either bots or some flunky following instructions. Infiltration of Silicon Valley is a foregone conclusion. Everyone I know that has cared for and loved the internet is completely disgusted with it at this point. Mission accomplished, Mossad? If you can't control it, destroy it? This is misanthropism. I don't trust any of you guys. Take your trillions and shove them up your ASSHOLE. Feel better now? I thought you would. It's all good.

absolutely right. I am not antisemitic. All my career so many of my bosses and employees and coworkers were jewish. Because it was LA! And that is what really horrifies me. That they will all get impacted by all of this equating of zionism and judaism. What a huge lie. But the rampant destruction of innocent people repeatedly over long time spans is just severe mental illness. It's not genocidal. The real semites are the Palestinians! The diaspora jews are from Eastern europe. Our minds have been seriously fucked by this all. And tens of thousands of people get killed or displaced yearly. Can't they just stop?

Sure, and that's like asking an AIPAC bribed congress to stop the killing around you-know-who's neighbors. Money talks. But your idea is worth a try. Actually both of those ideas. Thanks. But I'll tell ya- over the past 15 years we just have waaaaay too much money here in America. The purists say "we don't print money" to which I reply "Bullshit" - we let banks print the money. And once you have all of these trillions floating around, they find pockets to fall into, influence to buy. But, your suggestion is good. If there are no voices heard, nobody has a voice. Gotta start somewhere. Thank you and stay safe.

OH JUST SAW that link.. thank you. So these forces are as strong as AIPAC. Good to know. FWIW, I try to be grassroots, just enlightening people one by one. Most don't want the truth. They want convenience, likes, thumbs up and worthless confirmation bias. But I'll try.

Yes, and the fact that something like oral hygiene can influence AD would support your thesis. Often an infection in the gums/teeth can result in boils or worse in distant parts of the body. Add a dysfunctional blood brain barrier and you are screwed.

Brush and floss bruddahs.

I certainly cannot survive much more of the AI memes generated about our so-called Commander in Chief with a fake bodybuilder mystique... you are absolutely correct, this kind of material is psychologically damaging. And a huge distraction from the genocide by the "best friend and ally" of the US. Heart wrenching and extremely damaging hasbara - just please stop, haven't you stolen and killed enough guys? This is _not_ the old American West when communications were few and it was most often a tale of solitary survival. It's organized Nazi-esque kill, command and control, enable by so-called AI to take some guilt off the shoulders of those pushing buttons and pulling triggers.

My weight dropped 10%, and my blood lipids and "bad" cholesterol dropped to levels I hadn't seen in 35 years, after 2 years with creatine. Do not overthink this. Just try it, especially if you are 40+

Read you loud and clear. I enjoyed the crazy adventure that was the early internet. Really truly enjoyed it for over a decade, almost two. It's now gone, FUBAR and loaded with trackers. I usually can't even access an online newspaper anymore without logging in and being tracked. That's where I draw the line. It is nobody's business what I am reading. Got a stack of books to read now, instead. Not to say that legit sites without trackers don't exist anymore, but finding one of those randomly, for example as a result of search, is getting harder every day. Of course, the risk is real is that as the quality of journalism has diminished, thanks to trackers and putting the most popular dating advice and recipes on online newspapers' front pages in lieu of the reports of what's really happening in the world, we'll all soon be living in bubbles of filtered, sanatized information. So, it's not just privacy threats anymore.

Oh this is too funny. Yes, silicon idiot, human brains are the result of a million years of evolution. Nobody said they were perfect. For example they make terrible mistakes. Like designing LLMs that "hallucinate" articles like this

I've been buying a "new" used iphone for $100-150 now, every few years, for over a decade. My "new" used Dell laptop I bought a few months ago for $40 which became a linux system in just an hour. All good here.

Nice essay, good analysis of the Machavellian types that thrive around unlimited money, power and bullshit. Would a scene from another Russian novel about playing Russian roulette while partying would fit here? Sure you capture the spirit of that but nearly everyone has severe dopamine addiction while online these days. It has to be outrageous and over-the-top to get clicks and resharing!

The internet has become a circus and AI keeps us all on the freak show and hall of distorted mirror images.

Make it into a script/screenplay, perhaps?

Just don't buy a Tesla without researching the alternatives. That would be like buying a car because the salesperson is cute.

So stunning to see his "100 models of the world" and hints about superintelligence being interdisciplinary. Almost like he was anticipating powerful AIs.

I could not read some of his talks, but most of the text was very clearly thought out, and time-tested over decades of stunning success. He lived his advice of staying within the boundaries of what he understood well.
