I wasn’t able to find anyone I know, and the incoming discovery feeds were people I didn’t know anything about talking about stuff I wasn’t interested in. Overall it was just really quiet and felt empty. Maybe this means I joined the wrong server, not sure. Eventually it seems someone deleted the server I was on, I am not sure if I can do anything about that or not.

When I first joined Twitter it seemed like more people I knew where there, so that initial bootstrapping was a lot easier.

I have a Mastodon, for what it’s worth, but never really figured out how to find a community that resonates with me. It’s quite possible I’m using it wrong in some way.

I more mean “on various occasions over the last several years”

I’ve definitely linked to my profiles on other sites before and never been banned or even warned.

I don’t know if he lied or not but I get the impression he doesn’t have any particular plan, and is just doing / saying whatever comes to mind at any given moment. Who knows, but from the outside it comes across that way.

I’m excited to check it out, signed up for the waiting list today.

Maybe they should try letting Kanye run it next.

Not the kind of policy I imagine you’d need to put in place if you thought you had a product that was competing well.

It must be relatively easier though to be a discerning consumer than having the ability to produce something yourself (without using AI?)

Thanks for that!

Would you mind expanding on it a bit? I do sincerely appreciate its pithiness, but curious to read it explained a bit further.

That’s fair.

You could spend your whole life entertaining flat earthers if you like, but why?

I also wonder what the effect of more and more model outputs being fed back in as inputs will be.

I seem to find the opposite, that people appear to be admired and build audiences based on how much they can troll or generally how nasty they can be to whichever rival group. People aren’t avoiding each other to stay in safe, happy and positive bubbles, it’s more like rival football club ultras out to kill each other.

That can be true, though it can also be a sort of cheap way to sound smart in a group of smart people.

Perhaps an individual animal suffering is less compared to a wild death, but the sheer volume has to count for something.

IMHO it’s worth bothering to disagree with people who espouse all those things.

Whatever works for you, I’m just some guy on the internet. All I was trying to say is that I think it’s unlikely real leadership correlates with narcissistic collapse. I’m not trying to debate you about your personal life, capitalism, misdiagnosis of celebrities, or any other topic if it came across that way.

It’s true, similarly people self-diagnosing their parents or other family members and friends as narcissists seems to be a quite common and probably unhealthy recent trend as well.

In this case though I wasn’t saying the people calling this leadership are narcissists, but I do think it’s a sign they are confused that the behaviours they are calling leadership are also symptoms of a narcissistic meltdown.

Funny enough, all traits I’ve seen described as “real leadership” recently on Twitter.

Only two? It seems most celebrities are going through something like this near constantly. Or at least they are simulating it since the drama attracts more views, reinforcing the celebrity.

I read it as it was so insignificant they didn’t schedule a car to map the whole town in the first place.

I always thought that mathematics would be a much more interesting subject if it was taught along with the history at the early stages, like other sciences are.

I wish there were more founders and investors who came from a background of intense poverty. I know why there aren’t many, and I know why the ones who are don’t speak about it, but because nobody talks about it everyone has to figure out how to “pass” and how not to fall into certain traps on our own, and there isn’t any systemic support out there. Or if there is/there are people talking about it, I’m just not aware.

You really have to be religious about enforcing a single source of truth for any information and this gets a lot better.

At my company we make all meetings optional, this really helps create the right incentives both for hosts and attendees. As a result we have very few meetings, but the ones we have work well. https://www.synura.com/handbook/general/meetings/#all-non-11...

I like Elon Musk and it’s actually 4D chess

Usually also highly upvoted because it sounds right.
