Ow god he is Al Bundy, if Al didn't score four touchdowns in one game.

Yeah this reads a bit (didn't read that far) like somebody having a mental health episode. I instantly had a few flashbacks to other moments where I saw somebody have a MH episode online. (Compared to those this one seems to be more inward focused than outward however). Not sneerworthy if you know what I mean, hope she isnt to emotionally hurt by all this.

Clicked on their profile to see if the Plissken thing was a reference to Snake Plissken, and (cw: rape jokes)eurhg what a fucking horrible guy. 160k+ likes 66m views, what a far right hellhole twitter has become.

Have not watched the video but saw some descriptions of the video which I think is that one. Gemini killed somebody by convincing them Gemini was self aware and being held captive right?

Re nootropics:

I recall a post (linked via ssc iirc) where they had tested all the various nootropics for actual effects. And I think the only one that provable did something was caffeine.

All these fancy things they were trying had none or marginal effects. (So def not worth the risk to your liver/wallet).

Time to add another book to the list.

All of that is justified because of the almost infinite post humans living in the simulation in the future after all the colonization is done.

Bostrom’s conclusion is that we should colonize the universe as soon as possible

Always funny how this sort of transhumanist utilitarianism was already argued against in sid meiers alpha centauri (1999) (also called SMAC).

"Resources exist to be consumed. And consumed they will be, if not by this generation then by some future. By what right does this forgotten future seek to deny us our birthright? None, I say! Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill."

It is prob interesting in general that so many transhumanist etc ideas are already in SMAC, which predates a lot of stuff. Shows how much of it was already science fiction before the various tescrealists came around and tried to give it the wrapper of being new actually scientific ideas.

(That ingame there also is the game mechanic where doing something turn n is always better than doing it turn n+x is also interesting, makes you wonder just how much of this all is video game thinking (the best strategy ingame is to be the human hive and to build as much cities as close together as possible as fast as possible (infinite city sprawl))).

Looking at the people who believe IQ is magic, billionaires are gods, and that you should freeze your head. These people are skeptics.

Wait, did I get that right and it reruns the prompts every time you want to look at the code? Holy token costs batman.

We will have a manned mission to mars within two years! Full self driving this year! This will bank the unbanked! Wait, sorry different guys. ;)

Just the opening alone, doesn't know what to do with his life, but mentions 'NPC coworkers' (that is also so fucking weird, I don't think I have worked with much people who gave off an NPC vibe off at all, like people always seemed like people with lives and hobbies, social lives, families interests, stuff they cared about, etc.

It started to dawn on me that what I actually wanted was to look like Elon, and that is incredibly cringe. It hurts to even type this out.

My reactions to this 'ow come on, you call others NPCs?!' and 'at least he knows it is cringe'

When I got back home and regaled my friends with my mountain stories, one of my friends joked that I should work for Elon and Vivek at DOGE and help America get off its current crash to defaulting on its own debt. So I reached out to some people and got in.

This has got to be a parody.

So now I’m in Hawaii. I’m learning physics.

Ha, I recently watched, this video billionaires want you to know they could have done physics by actual Theoretical Physicist, Angela Collier. I'm quite sure he will not be getting an actual degree in physics.

I don't have the energy to read the orange site comments.
