“it’s like reddit search but AI!”

Is this a joke?

Anybody who does not have to work is not working class. That’s how it works.

Chris Pratt wouldn’t suddenly be “working class” if he quit acting and became a plumber.

He’d be a hobbyist plumber. Perhaps a professional plumber. But he iwoukd not suddenly become working class.

Guy in my city got bonkers rich off of software in his 20s, fucked off to Thailand to idk appease his cultural fetishes, came home with a wife, and now they run a restaurant. He’s in his 50s.

They do not need that restaurant. They never did.

Dude works hard. And if I were to ask him if he were working class, he’d laugh, say absolutely not, and buy me a beer.

Is he a restaurant owner? yes. Businessman? Yes. Entrepreneur? Yes. Chef? No, but his wife, yes. Restaurant manager? Yes. Otherwise retired? Yes.

Working class??? No.

If Christian Bale donated all of his assets and money, got arrested and out in jail, and then slummed around auto body shops to legitimately get by, would he be working class? Yes.

If it was all for a role, and he secretly had $3m tucked away in case it didn’t pan out, is he still working class? NO.

This should terrify Johnny Somali.

I am referring to the CEO.

He’s not important.

This is a murder, not an assassination.

😔

There’s still Antarctica under all that ice? For now…

Sure maybe a really beastly one, but all the available models right now have relatively poor context windows. When assisting in complex setups, they let go of information frequently to keep the dialogue flowing. Suddenly it’ll be giving you code snippets like

BASE_URL = [your base URL]

even when it should know my base URL.

So like, yeah, openai could probably show an AI create a fediverse instance. It’d take as much electricity as Manhattan uses in a day. But I doubt even OpenAIs new pro o1 model could achieve this, currently.

In fact, the context window was a significant weakness in the o1-preview. It was even worse than 4o.

The backpack had monopoly money in it.

He left it.

He’s fucking leagues beyond getting caught.

Homie rolled up on an ebike with a gun loaded with bullets engraved with messages. Iced this fuckface, tossed a backpack full of monopoly money to throw off the trail and make a statement, and dipped.

So what you’re saying is everybody who’s financially capable right now should take a week off of work to go across the country or maybe even across country lines for absolutely no reason? Especially those of us living in and around the area of Manhattan?

Booooooo

There’s a 1s clip from a song that sounds exactly like my mother telling my name, with the exact acoustic quality of it being beyond headphones, coming from upstairs.

As a kid when I was in that basement, it was a mystery. As soon as I moved out, I figured it out.

Our biggest cyber security risk is an attack on a furry convention.

Assassination?

Let’s not put this man on a fucking pedestal here.

Yeah I’m down with that concession.

Let me say fuck anyone really who can’t get here?

I’m allowing more than I am comfortable with on lyrical of argument.

500M is not only ridiculous but achievable given our agreement.

I mean yes and no.

Yes, no one needs more than $10 million. But there are legitimate use cases for wealth far beyond that. Let’s imagine someone develops an immutable cryptocurrency tool that is used globally to track political spending and keep governments honest. Hypothetically, this tool revolutionizes transparency and unravels corruption on a massive scale. Shouldn’t the creator of something so transformative be allowed to enjoy significant wealth—enough to provide for their family, loved ones, and even those who helped them along the way?

That kind of lasting wealth—the kind that lets someone own $10 million estates worldwide, fully staffed, with taxes paid indefinitely—is realistically covered at $1 billion. It’s feasible at $100 million, but it’s not at $10 million. A $10 million cap is “personal freedom money,” but it’s not “dynasty money.” And while dynasty wealth can be problematic, it’s also worth acknowledging the good that such wealth has sometimes enabled.

I love it when athletes, for example, use their success to buy their parents a million-dollar home or fund life-changing initiatives. If we cap wealth at $10 million, it prevents figures like LeBron James, Cristiano Ronaldo (love or hate him), Serena Williams, David Beckham, or even Rob Dyrdek from reaching the level of wealth where they can fund truly transformative projects.

Allowing higher wealth ceilings enables people who do reinvest in society to make a broader impact. Sure, some of these incentives are tax-driven, but the outcome still benefits society.

I get that not everyone uses their wealth for good. But there’s a meaningful gap between a $10 million cap and a $1 billion cap where good things can and do happen.

Can we negotiate to $500 million as a compromise?

I just think that at $1BN net worth or whatever, you start getting taxed on 99.99% of everything you earn or gain in worth after that.

This way people still get stupid rich, and if someone ever has $10bn you can easily just sound the alarm then and there and say nope, fuck this guy.

The tax curve just just be exponential and it should be basically vertical at $1bn.

Are you under the impression that every tax paying citizen hasn’t paid thousands into social security?

You cut social security and you get riots with folks who have nothing left to lose.

Brain drain is what caused the US golden era.

Keep your eyes on what countries start nabbing up the educated. That’s where to go when America fails.

We all smell a revolution.

May there be many copycats.
