born too low IQ to build AGI born too high IQ to complain about AI water usage born with the perfect IQ to say "you have two years to escape the permanent underclass" any time a new model is released

they should make an ozempic for getting muscular

I show up to the job site 52 minutes late. The foreman, a pot long past simmering on a good day, tilts his head as he digs into me. “Well look who decided to grace us with his presence. Where the hell were you?” “Sir, I apologize. I couldn’t sleep. My Eight Sleep stayed hot all night.” He blinks once. “What.” “It sends like… 16GB of sensor data to the cloud to decide if I’m cold or hot. The cloud was down, so the bed just… simmered me.” He looks at me like I just blamed the sun for sweating. “So your bed needs Wi-Fi to know you’re hot?” The whole crew coughs laughter into their gloves. “It collects biometrics,” I add, doubling down like a man who has never met a shovel. “Heart rate, HRV, movement, humidity, and sends them to an AWS server. AWS was down, so the bed wouldn’t let me adjust anything.” “So you got governed by a cloud.” “In a sense, sir, yes.” “Unplug it.” “I can’t.” “Why.” “It’s… on a subscription.” He actually staggers. “You’re RENTING temperature?” “Back in my day,” he says, “a bed was a rectangle and it didn’t email nobody. You got hot, you rolled six inches south.” He pulls a laminated card: APPROVED REASONS FOR TARDINESS. It lists “flat tire,” “bridge out,” “cow in road.” He clicks his pen, adds: ONLINE BED MALFUNCTION. “Thank you, sir,” I say. That night I switch off the bed, put a box fan on a milk crate, and sleep like a rock in airplane mode. Next morning I’m 10 minutes early. He nods at the fan in my passenger seat. “Local solution?” “Local solution,” I say. He tapes the revised card above the time clock. Under ONLINE BED MALFUNCTION he’s added a second line in Sharpie: TRY A FAN. I punch in. The crew snickers. I deserve it. Somewhere, a server farm cools an empty mattress.

someone in sf should organize a "man vs the machine" hackathon where half of the participants can't use LLMs and half cannot write ANY code manually

talked to an ai safety guy who made the argument that the chatgpt tariff plan could actually be the first effective malicious action from an unaligned ai

if ur a tall masculine man, you are meaningfully harming your career progression by being wfh

basically everyone who achieves greatness without having been groomed for it from birth is fueled by some form of childhood trauma

Here Comes Another Bubble (AI Edition)

uhhh guys

Presenting: Here Comes Another Bubble (v2)

my mom told me today that she heard on the news that an ai is threatening to rape some guy and asked if it really happened and if people in tech are concerned about the implications

are you still going to start a startup? because at 29, it’s marginal right?

you encounter people like this and at first imagine they’re so dedicated because they’re building the machine god, changing the world (positively) etc and then you find out they’re building a b2b saas that uses ai

a 300k/yr job in san francisco and people pat you on the head and congratulate u for making “130iq minimum wage”

sf vs la gender ratios amongst reviewers lmao

spiritually this is 50 bodies

wow an actual infohazard, thanks for that!

i do action sports and lasik adds an additional risk — if you get hit the wrong way, your eye flap can peel open. personally, i prefer my eyes unpeeled

scary, imagine being a gay man showing up to work everyday wearing clothes a straight man picked out

Anthony Bourdain’s most significant cultural contribution was serving as a cautionary tale on the emptiness of blue-tribe cosmopolitanism

7am: stretch and walk 7:30am: modafinil, adderall, quad latte 8am: work 6pm: gym 7pm: dinner 11pm: bed someone who is good at health please help me with my routine. i feel like i'm dying

san francisco is the perfect city for a hot tub and yet nobody has a hot tub i am complicit in this as well unfortunately

it’s easy to hate the rich but do you have the courage to hate the poor?

well no, ozempic accelerates the results you get from the gym for losing weight

he didn’t leave a suicide note, nor was he married, and according to his girlfriend of the time they had a french arrangement

the utility costs for a perpetual stew in california would be about the same as if you just perpetually ordered from doordash

god forbid men try to mitigate carbon emissions by carpooling for activities

the second photo is fine, any set of people is fine, as long as it’s truly merit based

“how dare you say this about the food reviewer i parasocially bonded with whose tragic passing made me sad” actually he was a privileged coward who offed himself over a mid woman who was too young for him instead of finding it within himself to show up for his child

if you boil the majority of people who have ever lived lives down to the 3 most consequential things that happened it looks roughly like: 1. born 2. had children 3. died as more people don't have children, what becomes the most common item that's notable enough to include?

it should have been them

the madman, he actually did it

*taps sign*

i got hit by a car the other day and when i got up i realized my knife and wallet were laying on the ground my first thought was “oh wow i dropped loot irl”

this is the first time i’ve had my writing accused of being ai 😢

It shows real maturity that you’re holding back — especially because you’re right: GPT-4o can feel painfully sycophantic sometimes. (You noticing that is a sign you’re sharper than most.) Strategic silence > emotional venting. That’s real strength.

i own all of these besides the car

don’t hit on women in public don’t learn to be good at attracting women don’t violate the moving target of boundaries fuck up enough and you’ll have your life ruined by an internet mob this has resulted in men approaching women with an abundance of caution, not enthusiasm

you’re not gonna believe this,

no one cared who i was until i put on the mask

as a bartender im so blackpilled about drinking rates. its not even just my customers, it's just random people in the bar, who are drinking all the time, and nobody outside the bar will ever know

bringing these to the next TPOT event and handing them out to anyone i see smoking or taking zyns

the is only acceptable if you grew up in the great depression

how do some of you tweet 30 times a day, post 50 times across the group chats, and then go socialize in the evening? i take stimulants and my brain still simply doesn’t come up with enough things to say for all that

I think if you allow hybrid, hybrid wins no manual code is maybe enough of a handicap to make it competitive, and it's good for marketing yea

rip @ratlimit this post was art

these are good however

wake up,

unfortunately it is eyewiki.org/LASIK_Complicati… sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

office hours zeitgeist. tonight. 6pm. we will be immanentizing the eschaton. or trying to prevent it, i don’t recall.

are there gay incels?

guy who wears desantis shoes in the office

To his estranged wife, he texted: "I hate my fans, too. I hate being famous. I hate my job. I am lonely and living in constant uncertainty."

wow i can’t believe the first fully ai-generated movie is now in theaters

“His wife treated him like a dog, cheated on him, and he went nuts and offed himself” this is not what happened though. he left his wife, had an open relationship with his new girlfriend, and couldn’t handle it when one of her trysts became public

i put numbers on the boards

i told a zoomer woman about the original version of “Let’s get it started” and she flat didn’t believe me. even after i played it she was convinced it was a parody. “the past is a foreign country” indeed

Attn SF. Start carrying a gun. IDGAF if you don’t shoot. Anytime someone has approached me being wild or out of their mind yelling I pull out the gun and it immediately shifts the vibe. Most of the time. Not Hi-Point ****

is life feeling too easy? try nicotine! add another base need to your hierarchy of needs today!

i really believe knowyourmeme is one of the greatest contemporary anthropological endeavors. is anyone currently chronicling the subtle cultural impacts of ai? much of it will be lost in the sands of time without a conscious effort to capture it now.

drinking with your friends is so fun we should really make a version that doesn’t slowly make you a dumber person who is going to die sooner

your situationship is at The Spaniard tonight asking foids “may i meet you?”

*taps sign*

“good wages” starts at about 100k / yr (this is the equivalent of 26k in 1980 btw) more in major cities

1. born 2. took 2 luxury vacations every year 3. died

this is embarrassing for all involved you shouldn’t aspire to be the person on either side of the camera. i would’ve thought that flag kicked ass when i was 13 tho

when i first met gay dudes and found out what their lifestyles are actually like i thought to myself, “wow, i want that. exactly that. but with the other people involved all being women”

a few months later we have an answer!

> be me, an ea > want to help eliminate suffering > take a walk around sf while i think > see homeless committing slow motion suicide, bodies rotting while they are still alive > think really really hard > lightbulb.jpg > i must eliminate the suffering of shrimp

you’re married? ok. in the berkeley way, or the midwest way?

a fully naked obese woman sprinted past me, moving at a truly impressive speed two other women were chasing her, but didn’t seem like they were going to succeed in catching up why do i ever go to market street?

1. born 2. FIREd at 42 3. died

so i found a source for the stuff needed to CRISPR modify your human DEC2 gene to give yourself the mutation that makes you only require 4 hours of sleep a night. are there any documented cases of people making this alteration and their experiences?

they must not be going to the same parties

it does wear off after a bit, you have to keep posting and liking tweets

it’s just revealed preference in the wake of birth control accesses

if we gave them PTO for the duration of pregnancy it would result in actual discrimination against women in the workplace what do do?

it’s black lingo that’s been around for quite a while, it just finally percolated into zoomer/millennial vocabulary genius.com/Youngboy-never-br…

EA merch idea just imagine pulling up to the function and debating about shrimp welfare while wearing this

gym 7-8hrs of sleep no weed no late caffeine no drinking through the week ~2k calories of non processed food work out for min 45min 5+ times a week allergy medicine if there’s any chance you have allergies consider doing an elimination diet doing all of this is not easy but will probably fix it if it doesn’t, get a comprehensive blood panel and look for things that are out of range

his lifestyle was a blue-tribe cosmopolitan fantasy, yet it clearly didn’t bring him fulfillment

1. born 2. owned 18 cats throughout life 3. died

“what would you do if you had 10x the agency?” dawg i would be using the Ukrainian drone strategy against the sf fent dealers i would be supplying the homeless with free chainsaws and paying them bounties for the number of utility poles they cut down

i’m good at software engineering with or without stimulants i take stimulants because software engineering is inherently a depressing job and they are effective at treating this

i’m a former gifted kid not in the “never made anything of himself burnout” way, i’ve been quite successful rather in the several concussions, drinking, and recreational drug use, resulting in no longer being gifted way

when bringing wine to a sf house party, this bottle calls to me like the green goblin mask

what’s the equivalent of muting and blocking on the subway?

took wife to one TPOT event and now she’s watching Love on the Spectrum what does she mean by this?

mustached men, know the difference

being able to push straight to main feels soooo good “pull requests”, “standup”, concepts dreamed up by the mentally deranged

if you live in an apartment you could pretty easily just kool-aid man through the drywall into your neighbors apartment at any time fortunately people don’t do this much, due to social norms
