    Wtf happened to Silicon Valley? I grew up hearing it was heaven on earth, you just had to be rich to experience it. Ah best not to potentially break the politics rule lol, I'll look it up today. Very sad to hear though.

    Do You Trust Strangers?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    The UK and USA, among many other European countries, were very high trust societies just a few generations back, and were of course very free countries compared to the rest. Hell even when I was a kid 20 years ago we left our bikes unlocked next to our house in London, didn't double lock our...

    Haha wow I was just writing a post about this in the Random thread. I'm an Arsenal fan, we just lost. Me and my mum got abuse on the streets on the way home for our shirts, people are gleefully happy that we lost. Since reading Unscripted, and even a while before that to be honest, I...

    LinkedIn was hilarious for a bit with the whole "I got hit by a truck/My wife just left me/I just proposed to my girlfriend... Here's 10 things that taught me about B2B sales". LinkedIn is pretty great though I think.

    Oh man this thread was fun to read. I got in here too late for the BlackDragon/AntiFragile stuff, this was good. It's one of the most personal things we'll ever do in our lives, we're all going to have our own opinions on it.

    I loved this interview. I find this topic so frustrating, it comes up a lot in my social circle (I am with a lot of Millionaire=Bad type of people) and it frustrates me to no end. Someone told me there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire. No one should ever have that much money, it's...

    Starting a business idea

    IDEA 
    Find out if the fishing community you plan to reach are open to it before you build something no one will buy. It's obvious advice I know but I think the fishing community has a very interesting dichotomy, at least where I live in the UK. The older generation will absolutely never buy something...

    Social media post about Google Ads budgets brings out idiots

    You'd think people would be more polite on LinkedIn of all platforms, given it's supposed to be the more professional one. You got a lot of engagement at least I guess!

    Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory

    MINDSET 
    I'm not choosing to, it's my visa that ties me to my employer. If I leave the company that sponsors me I lose my right to stay. Annoying but I can live with it, and nothing stops me building in the meantime.

    Your City, Your Destiny: How Your Environment Shapes Your Life Trajectory

    MINDSET 
    Hahaha I met the polish woman first, 3 years ago. I never thought I'd be moving back, my grandparents emigrated to the UK to do those shitty jobs you mentioned. But despite the name I've had a wholly British upbringing, I only tasted my first pierogi a couple years ago Thank you! I was in...

    I love this forum for the posts that randomly appear after many years, this place has so much gold. I strongly relate with this thread, I think about my self identity and upbringing a lot. I also find it very interesting with this Poland talk considering I'm moving to Poland from London. I'm...

    The world is moving towards token-based billing and AI dependency. Don't get trapped.

    - AI - 
    It's fascinating to me, my workplace has been discussing this this morning as we're entirely Copilot/Microsoft based. I'm very very interested to see how the market changes after it all inevitably becomes token based billing as these companies try to cover their massive costs. Another massive...

    Wow... Got an email from GitHub today, CoPilot is moving from usage based billing to token based billing. This is huge news GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing To be honest I never really fully understood the deal, but I was using Claude Opus requests just non stop with Copilot. I...

    Give it a shot! It's the conversational mode that's the game changer, not just typical voice into text into text response from AI. "ChatGPT Voice" is the proper name of it, I just tried it with Claude and it didn't even respond or pick up a different language at all.

    I've been using Voice mode on ChatGPT recently for language learning and it's incredible, a total game changer. It's like having a 1 on 1 session with a teacher. I switch between Spanish and English as much as I want and it follows. I know the results aren't false as I knew Spanish quite well a...

    Gemini vs ChatGPT: flattery

    - AI - 
    Exactly my experience. If you ask it a leading question "This is a good idea right? I'm not wrong in this am I?" it overwhelmingly tries to support you. I find Claude more robotic, more succinct, gets to the point without emotion. I like to use GPT for exploring ideas more though, when I feel...

    The Dark Forest, and Dead Internet Theory

    CHAT 
    I would never have imagined it 5 years ago but I think the future of the content driven internet are behind paywalled communities, like this. People are already sick of AI driven content, who wants to read an article written by a machine, not a person? When we create a walled community we block...
