why do my friends always tell me there's another romance brewing up,
with yet another kid in mind? How many kids does Elon have so far?
Able was I, ere I saw Elba.
Elba was I, ere I saw able.
Revered leader, Napoleon Bonaparte,
Traveled to Elba with a heavy heart.
Heart heavy, a with Elba to traveled,
Bonaparte, Napoleon, leader revered.
Able saw I, ere I was Elba,
Elba saw I, ere I was able.
Able to lead, to conquer and reign,
Napoleon's ambition was not in vain.
Vain, it was, to think he could rule,
As his power began to dwindle and cool.
Cool and dwindle began power his,
As rule could he think to vain, it was.
Ruled and conquered to lead, able,
Was I, ere I saw Elba

ChatGPT did write
and how are parents worth 250M USD with or without Alameda basement?
please explain to the public.
who are the 2 other individuals? please names.
thank you for not downvoting me. i am less arrogant than you think
i am a true effective altruist. hahahahaha
u mean for the tweet? google please. there are many.
the last point was for a different thread but as u see platform has
been making sure i cant respond in timely fashion to all threads. I sequeezed it in there.
> The burden of proof remains on you. You need to find us an example of an outstanding writer who didn't read much. This doesn't even hold for the classics (eg, Marcus Aurelius or Plato) as far as I can tell.
I think it's fair to say that we don't actually know much about Plato. All stories being told about plato are in third person narrative.
I think you are contradicting yourself, Socrates and other ancients were a big proponent of discarding writing in place of dialogue. I think this should suffice as point.
no i am not under the belief of anything other than mentioning PG in a slightly bad light will get me downvotes or a ban on this platform.
> So you are under the belief that the written output of one man born in 1564 was of greater quantity than all “good” writing prior to his time? Are you sure you thought this through?
This is not the point i was trying to make.
u make one hell of a point that i thought about.
this is recursion but in different languages, which is not
really applicable with exception of Richard and Henry.
Read in latin, then translate it to THE ORIGINAL OTHER LANGUAGE ENGLISH.
You are diluting my genuine point that I am making. The content of
way back then was negligible to content that exists now.
In all fairness, the opinion brought forward by your messiah PG is not
really fit for standing judgement because of the point i brought forward.
Good writer, good idea makers exist without the need to have been good at reading.
i think that's also rubbish, just like PG's written opinion piece.
How on earth did we then get the great work by William Shakespeare.
ShakeSPeare born a time when reading a lot wasn't even possible. There
was little to none good content material out there. He was writing more
than he could have possible read anywhere else.
you must be much older than me. i never had a chance to handwrite my notes or thoughts. all goes to straigh to typing. I fear though my generation and future generations are missing out substantially.
have you seen nassim taleb's recent comments about
this guy? Taleb while harsh, always is truthful to the
truth. I'm too young to know the story behind Hacker News and
ycombinator, but reading some of the recent stuff makes me
question prevailing sentiments about PG.
Would you think that this SBF guy will enjoy prison time?
doesn't make sense. if this guy invested 200M USD into Sequoia and then Sequoia invested 150M into FTX. This is not even breaking even and also washtrading.

I just did my high school graduation project on Recommendation models,
this arxiv paper is a bit too specialized, anyone can give some feedback?
a hard or impossible problem?
a while ago when prepping for my APs, I came across the paper "Reflections on Trusting 'Trustlessness' in the Era of Crypto/Blockchains" (Georgiadis,E.) available here:
https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/cbit-4-2.pdf
and found some parts very illuminating.
It makes reference to a paper by Kuhn called Backdoor Engineering and advances that point to a concept the author calls conceptual corruption. Under this light, zero trust architectures are impossible.
My fellow classmate a CS nerd made an additional point about the paper reflections on trust. it was beyond me.
