you'll get there, don't give up! and don't settle.

i do be infat, coffee helps

goalz

yea also read Ayn Rand, in particular Anthem & then fountainhead if atlas is too complicated for the brains

<3 stay hungry stay foolish

yes i delete all my articles a year later, including those from 7 years ago. absolutely correct.

NYT is an excellent source of feminine perspectives

literally true - https://andys.blog/alex/

beautifully said. thank you wavemode.

when the critics disagree the artist is in accord w himself - dorian grey

never

can confirm my gf is scared. but then she said "that person is clearly a liberal" so perhaps not.

who doesnt love a good hyperbole that your besties IRL can shit on you for... and then also some randos on the internet too! heaps of shite

regular framing does not get the HN upvotes & chatter tho... haha.... gottta use the tizz rizz..

if anyone cares to read, andys.blog is quite vulnerable and emotionally open so i guess i'm codependent with the internet and the world (i.e. reality), one could say elon feels the same haha love to all my fellow forum dwellers <3 <3

obviously i still need to blog guys. hence the post. apparently read HN too still... sigh ....

thank you gobdovan <3 :)

goodbye Apple.

thanks for the comment! agree, rationality is the key, we are using AI / Agentic Organisms as a placeholder for reasoning-enhanced humans. this can be achieved by life experience, reading the right books, doing physics homework, or merging with Claude Code lol

HN should apply their flagging of posts consistently. either flag the politics or not at all.

all this political activity should get flagged according to HN terms

right, the internet didn't play any part

correct i'd like to be rich why not, also i don't care about money which is the fun part - it proves that this is a mission driven project. the causation is really important and core to the whole thesis. Elon only built SpaceX because he'd rather commit suicide than live in a world without Starship or some progress path to Mars. I never understood that until it clicked last week as fundamentally important to explain to humanity, since Ayn Rand is dead and her books have been lost to social memory & not incorporated fully into modern management practices and mainstream theory.

being way too generous lol

as his former bughouse partner, i agree :)

yes. exactly. that was me. chess analogy: Alex is Magnus, whereas I'm like Sam Shankland or something.

i know a dozen who come close but none who did the same, nor who had the entrepreneurial bent so early... curious who are these people you have in mind?

nor did he finish it himself. the Scale team has always been extremely talent-dense.

but execution is everything, and Alex has certainly been the dictator executing without peer or co-leads for over half a decade now.

"API for human labor" a la MTurk was the original idea, was it not? pretty close to the data labeling thesis.
