  there’s no easy way to tell this but: i met one of them - it came up in conversation somehow. a few days later when we met again he told me how great he feels bow that he properly washes his ass in the shower…

  halo 2 is virtually unbeatable on legendary, except you use speedrun strats and cheese. i gotta admit i turn down the difficulty in h2 because it doesn’t feel like the rock-paper-scissors type gameplay the other games offer. it’s just brutally unfair. your survrival in the first second on the high charity level depends on rng…

  since his bet on the housing market he effectively lost money. all the public things he made can also be safety investments in case his secret hedgefund stuff he doesn’t have to disclose fails.

  • this is what an ex-financebro told me yesterday

  i LOVE LOVE LOVE the thought of the AI Bubble popping… but i don’t think this MF is the guy to trust

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you friends with any AI bots?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. And I don’t know anyone.

  I hooope it’s not a huge issue? We all know the media treats 30 tweets about a topic as “the next new thing”. I totally understand the psychology behind (ab)using AI as a Friend substitute though - which makes this phenomenon feel very real and widespread.
