His own ideas always flop.

Zuck thought he was gonna make a VR MMO at your job. That is basically where his head is at.

Smart glasses might even be a thing, but not coming from Zuck

Everything under his direction is a flop. Basically one of the biggest idiots in all of tech.

Also AI is about 15 years behind. We are just getting to that phase where AI says everything is a medical emergency just like Google searches used to always say you had cancer.

It’s not good at search.

It looks like a real person talking or whatever - cool. Fucking sucks dick at finding and verifying info.

We went a decade or more back in time on search for no reason.

LLM could be one of Google’s modalities in search but it shouldn’t be THE interface. It’s a chat, it’s dumb, wrong tool

Fact check your shit.

Be bold, but be correct

I have never taken SSRI so I can't speak on it, but I have smoked mountains of weed and the shaman at the end of time told me that you were an utter dipshit your whole existence. Sorry about that

What makes you think you can diagnose a person over the Internet with so little info?

Especially taking into account people are not always “themselves” online rather than tapping into culture/communication? Sheesh

> does harm

> ruins lives

Alcohol or amphetamine I would agree especially since they are so heavily promoted in our culture. There are kids taking amphetamine pills genuinely ruining themselves - huge problem.

Millennials are drinking themselves to death by their 40s.

But I can’t see it with weed, which I consider to be more like coffee or tea. A drug yes (so is caffeine) but not going to ruin your life like booze or pills will.

Coffee withdrawal is way worse than cannabis. And I’d say the tunnel vision aspect of coffee is more pronounced - it’s a high that takes over your whole body and personality but nobody says anything about it. I think because of how it’s presented and nothing more.

They might be trying to make contact, but they're shadowbanned. Neither party knows the message is being blocked.

Not that cab drivers only live to 67 - many would still live to 75, 85, 95, but that occasionally a driver dies at 25 or 35 bringing the mean figure way down.

"These mfs are fuckin with my money, and when you fuck with my money, you fuck with my emotions!"

So I write a damning blog post that will end Apple!!!

It's rejected again.

"Yeah probably because they read my damning blog post, they're targeting me now!"

Submit it again, following their stupid advice to target the right platform.

"Rejected again?!! It's probably The Jews doing this. It has to be. Who else would try to stop my amazing app from reaching the world???"

Submit it again.

Approved.

"...Oh. Oh yeah, it didn't work on iPad before that config change, I see. Hm. Yes you were right actually."

I think it's because our society legalized and even promotes the strongest substances of them all, so THC seems very subtle in comparison to something like caffeine and alcohol which is arguably the most potent psychedelic inebriant known delivering loss of motor control, at high doses total loss of consciousness, completely altered vision and decision-making to the point you can't operate machinery or do basic tasks. It has hypnogogic effects that show you closed-eye visuals and make you sleepy. Kinda funny how alcohol is the most accepted "drug", to the point it isn't even called one - yet its effects are as intense and socially disruptive as the hardest drugs available.

Coffee, also. The effects of C. arabica is like a very strong version of the A. muscaria mushroom. We have cultivated it to be insanely potent over the centuries. Coffee is about the most potent and euphoric stimulant I can consume without it feeling like it's taking over and ruining my identity - like you get with a lot of pharmacological concoctions.

> the way high strength marijuana or an edible does

Yeah, I don't think it's great for every personality type. It's a "value-changing" drug that will change your opinions on things, and make you think about personal things in ways you would naturally avoid (sometimes to your benefit). I'm no psychologist but THC is powerful enough to change you enough that you can lose friends, family, and interests - but you may gain some new ones, or realize that you're better off without those things. At any rate, it's a very psychological drug that makes you re-order your life. Some people don't need it. If you don't, probably better off without it (not medical advice! just some guy's rant).

> salvia

I'll share my experience with it, because it's perhaps the most mis-marketed thing out there. My experience with the dried leaf (1x - just the real whole leaves you get at those hippie crystal type shops) is nothing whatsoever like people have described. I had 0 trips or any "high". The experience to me is an intense form of focus, as if nothing can distract you. It's subtle, but you can lock into work like crazy if you put this in a pour-over coffee. The best way I would describe it is you quickly "forget" or "let go" of unwanted thoughts, effortlessly, and it helps you focus. It's not euphoric in the slightest - so I think people miss this very useful effect. It's zen. Clear and focused. It might compete with ADHD medication, so maybe it's not promoted very much since it may be a market threat. That's the effect though IMO. Think - coffee high without the high. 10x, 25x salvia gets "weird" only because it's too much at once. I think if you "turned that effect up" to the max it would be like having dementia, because you would not be able to hold onto anything. But turn that effect back down to 1x and you have something quite useful for focused work. I compare it to A. muscaria, coffee, or tea, but it's "lighter" (and more efficient) than caffeine.

He said it like he’s been somewhere!

I’ve tried to all - I guess DMT, mushroom, etc. don’t work on me in a Terence McKenna storytelling fashion (I only get stoned and have very entertaining closed eye visuals that take me off to sleep).

That said haven’t tried Ketamine. Maybe not for me. Same reason I don’t want to try Fentanyl. I don’t want to fully escape reality, just augment it.

I’ve always thought cannabis makes you more you or “more sober than sober” and in that way can cause a lot of self-reflection and anxiety causing a lot of people looking for escape to avoid it entirely, opting for a PCP/meth “mental escape” or a Fentanyl/Ketamine “bodily escape”.

I just like weed and coffee after it all. Best ones. Reliable. They work. Doesn’t ruin your life. What blows my mind are people afraid to smoke a joint so they skip to edibles or Ketamine not realizing they are signing up for a several hours long bad time lmao. For most at least, without some initiation.

Lilly was a mad man though (in a good way).

Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and others at first were incentivized to call AI video slop, but now that Netflix bought Ben Aflec’s AI FX studio they will probably embrace it.

The individuals who publicly speak against the technology are sadly confused little men.
