So...this event is cancelled?

Let's be honest - if it was still on, we'd all watch a livestream if it was available...

I think that most would agree with 2024 coming quick, getting this situation taken care of with regards to political campaigns might be a little more important than dealing with Joe and Jane down the street...

The reference you provided looks like generic SEO content...not really something to build your case with...

"AI has hardly any penetration into society."

To clarify, I assume you are talking about Gen AI when you say "AI"?

I had to go through the same thing.

Please, share the solution...

"I think these articles appeal to people who are struggling because it makes it feel like everything is broken (literally a key point of the article) and everyone is struggling, but it’s not really true."

No one ever goes hungry by telling people what they want to hear...

You must be new here.

Telling people who have ADHD they don't actually have ADHD and that they should just focus harder is not the best use of your time...

To be fair, this "smarter than everyone" stuff has been strongly reinforced by the media (pre Twitter takeover) and his fanboys, so it's not just him...

Whatever you think of him or his business ethics, Zuck does seem to be at least a bit classy/stays out of clown shows.

Participating in a circus like this doesn't make sense for him, MMA training or not...

I have a legit Lomonosov tea cup and saucer that sports a "Made In USSR" marking on the bottom.

It is somewhat nice...

Totally late stage communist, though...

When I was a child, we called these "auto sears"...

At least I think they are the same/similar thing...

Maybe?

When I do contracting/consulting, I am usually working for similar types of businesses in industries I already know solving very similar problems.

I don't get paid to learn on the job, and I don't really want to spend unpaid time doing work...unless I already have an deep interest in the industry.

At the same time, it is a lot easier to sell yourself as an "expert" in a particular industry/area (SaaS for small business, dental practices, etc), or an "expert" at solving a particular type of problem (boosting retention rates, unscrewing a sales team/process, etc).

The idea of being a fresh set of eyes and hitting the low hanging fruit? Maybe, but the pay for that is not really that great in general and it is a lot harder to sell...IMHO

I am not sure this helps at all...

I eagerly await the post about how the writer on Substack has been raided...

I predict a lot of meetings where people will be trying to figure out what the next big "thing" will be, since this whole AI/LLM deal was way overhyped...

I just want to hear the excuses from the Elon fanboys after he gets beat by a guy who is probably 60lbs lighter...

If there are not, I will not be entertained...

Well, maybe it would help if the Gov actually demonstrated what the aid already delivered has done in tangible terms, and what a plan to help end this conflict would be?

We are just shoveling money and military aid to the Ukraine, but not enough to actually end the conflict - just enough to make it look like we really care...thus perpetuating one of these never-ending conflicts that people are sick and tired of.

Just my opinion...

But, they will mainly be read by people who have no idea what they are talking about and will never build anything, much less anything in the physical world...so, it all balances out I guess?

Maybe people are not thrilled about taking on 84 month financing with higher interest rates anymore? Just a guess?

"To be clear, it wasn't the quality of my essays that got me kicked out so much as the assignments I didn't do at all. I disliked Harvard's rigid conception of the liberal arts and struggled to care about the courses I was required to take, preferring small classes in departments like Black studies and creative writing"

Yea, you didn't do the work and flunked out.

Super valuable, name brand education wasted because you're a dick. That's on you...

I am still waiting to see if Elon is going to pick up a Wegovy sponsorship for this fight...

Isn't this a common problem for building a solution for "now"?

Isn't the goal to use your vision and think about what the world is going to be like in 2 to 5 years and focus on building that?

Those are the products/solutions/businesses that generally win...not people jumping on the hot new thing...

Are sales slumping?

I'm not saying it doesn't happen.

I'm saying that using TV and movies as a reference for what real life was like in those times (or any time) may not be the best idea.

Obligatory book recommendation: Empire of Pain https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43868109-empire-of-pain

At the end, it goes a bit into how to bankruptcy and settlements were structured.

This family cannot do anything that isn't super shady...

"It’s interesting to go back to TV shows and movies from even the 1980s and 1990s and see how much bigger people’s social networks were. Like people would have regularly scheduled bridge nights with neighbors and shit like that."

To be fair, those are TV shows and movies...not real life.

"If your relationship can't survive the talk you would have with your therapist, you have not developed the quality of friends that you should have."

Therapists are disposable. Friendships are not.

I would rather not risk finding out if a friendship can handle some temporary, dark sh*t. You usually won't know until it is too late...

Maybe we can get one of those "0 Days since last GTP post" counters somewhere...

Probably could be static, too...at least for the next while

Wouldn't the fact that getting caught using a deepfake or something similar be politically damaging to your campaign sort of make this a bit moot?

In my opinion, the main problem is people from outside the official political campaigns using this sort of tech, and I am not sure how the FEC is going to limit that...

I've had dogs my entire life as well.

If you have all the experience with dogs that you say you do, and yet still hold the thoughts about dogs that you do...i'm not sure what to say about that.
