just want a consistent dynamic with a slut who likes bar-hopping and coke
too bad there’s not any women like this in nyc
the barber next to me had just been cheated on, and he kept pressing the nerdy tech guy in his chair: had he ever been cheated on? guy says no
he gets defensive. says the guy just didn't find out, or it hadn't happened yet but will. its getting tense
my barber cuts in: "bro, think about it. we out here fucking hoes from oakland, and this dude's probably dating a different type of girl"
i think back to this whenever i encounter dating discourse on here

Everyone is always rooting for you. Your parents want you to be a great son. Wife wants you to be a great husband. Your boss wants you to be a slam dunk hire. Every first date you’ve ever been on they’ve been rooting for you to get laid. Every time you started to tell a joke people hoped it would have a hilarious punch line. Your proximity to anyone is a reflection of themself, meaning the deck is never stacked against you, and your failures are completely your own
i like working on physical tasks with an agent guiding me on what to do, it’s like i’m the coding agent and they’re the dev

LADIES
THERE IS NO SECRET
WHEN THE BOYS ARE INTO BORING SHIT AND STICKING WITH IT MUCH LONGER THAN YOU THINK IS REASONABLE
THERE IS NO SECRET
THEY ARE NOT FINDING ANYTHING SPECIAL IN THE TWENTIETH ITERATION OF WHATEVER BULLSHIT THEY'RE ON ABOUT. IT'S THE SAME AS THE PREVIOUS NINETEEN TIMES.
AND THEY'RE HAPPY DOING IT.
IF YOU'RE NOT
IT'S FINE
NO NEED FOR FOMO
THEY'RE REALLY REALLY JUST DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN
WAR. PROGRAMMING. BOATS. THEY WILL DO THE SAME THING THEY WERE JUST DOING, AGAIN, LONG LONG AFTER I WOULD HAVE SNAPPED AND KILLED THAT JACKASS THEY'RE ALL LISTENING TO FOR SOME REASON.
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE I AM NOT ENVIOUS OF MEN. I WOULD KILL A BITCH AND BE DONE. THAT MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN 45 MINUTES LONG IF I'D BEEN ON THE BOAT. I DO NOT WANT THE ENDOCRINOLOGICAL MAKEUP THAT WOULD MAKE ME INCLINED TO PUT UP WITH RUSSELL CROWE'S BULLSHIT ONE SECOND LONGER THAN ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON NAPOLEON
"WE HAVE TO GO TO WAR BC NAPOLEON MADE HIMSELF KING OF EUROPE" WELL WHY DID HE GO DO A RETARDED THING LIKE THAT. WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY GAIN.
NOT THAT I WANT WOMEN IN CHARGE. MY GOD. IT'S NOT THAT WE AREN'T CAPABLE IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVE A TENDENCY TO GET A LITTLE CREEPY
BEING ONE HALF OF A MARRIED COUPLE AND HAVING GIVEN BIRTH TO SONS AND A DAUGHTER, I FEEL I AM CLOSER TO A NEUTRAL GENDER EXPERIENCE THAN I EVER HAVE BEEN BEFORE AND YOU KNOW WHAT.
BOTH SIDES ARE RETARDED.
THAT'S IT THATS THE SECRET IF YOU LET MEN DO THEIR THING TOO LONG YOU GET MONKEYPOX AND NAPOLEON. YOU LET WOMEN GO TOO LONG SOLO AND YOU GET THE FUCKING. WHAT WAS IT. SECULAR HIJABI COVID FRIENDLY BAR. PSYCHOLOGICAL TORTURE. AND NO SEX. IN THE LONG RUN. I'M TOLD.
walking home after another great night out in nyc
only the bottom dregs of society are out (morning joggers and the homeless)
surely this doesn’t say anything about me
the general public does not need an agent that makes it easier to book flights or get restaurant reservations
the correct shape for a mass market agent is the whispering earring

“Everywhere in this town you see the same kind of character—Westerners who have been so ill-treated and badly worn by life that they’ve dropped the whole struggle and decided to camp out here in Bali indefinitely, where they can live in a gorgeous house for $200 a month, perhaps taking a young Balinese man or woman as a companion, where they can drink before noon without getting any static about it, where they can make a bit of money exporting a bit of furniture for somebody. But generally, all they are doing here is seeing to it that nothing serious will ever be asked of them again. These are not bums, mind you. This is a very high grade of people, multinational, talented and clever. But it seems to me that everyone I meet here used to be something once (generally “married” or “employed”); now they are all united by the absence of the one thing they seem to have surrendered completely and forever: ambition. Needless to say, there’s a lot of drinking.”

human cultures are not able to metabolize this amount of change this quickly. when you zoom back out to a big picture of history, it’s remarkable how glacially slow everything is. the first industrial revolutions took 80 years (very fast by the standards of previous revolutions), and the writings of Marx happen at the very end as working class politics arises. it takes about another 150 years after that for the great ideological struggles of post-industrial times to be completed in the 90s in what fukuyama called the “end of history”
today you see a compression of decades of technological change into a matter of months or years. there’s no wonder yann lecun (the respected inventor of the ConvNet and ex-chief scientist of Meta) wonder whether the hugging face incident was staged, and mathematicians whose minds are far more powerful than my own are nonetheless coping about training on their data or something while models begin to display superhuman mathematical capability
it would take a century or more to fully metabolize and legitimize the level of changes that have happened even in the past 20 years, to say less of the remarkable scientific revolution we will get over the next five should we avoid the doom of misalignment. I do not suspect any current form of science academia, or even political order will survive without great transformation, except through the course of slow evolution over decades - and of course, technology will keep moving too
