“Your next assignment is to seduce the CEO of one of America’s largest tech companies”
“Wow, that sounds really challenging. I’ll need to use every skill I have”
“Not really. Just be moderately attractive and not unpleasant to be around. That’s literally all it takes”

René Girard on why the business world is more creative than the intellectual world:
“Intellectuals are often contemptuous of business and business people; but in business, you can at least distinguish the successful people from the unsuccessful people. If your business is losing money, you will immediately ask what your competitor is doing much better. And you'll start imitating your competitor. But if you are an intellectual, you will manage to rationalize things in such a way that you always want to do the opposite of your competitor. Therefore, you'll hide the fact of imitation better. A businessman who is responsible for a business will immediately imitate his competitor. That's why the world of business today is probably more creative in relative terms than the intellectual world. It is the last creative world because, in intellectual life, you don't dare to imitate others.”
From CBC Ideas
“... I think [this] the meaning of the sacrifice of Isaac, which marks the abandonment of human sacrifice. What's extraordinary about this Biblical text is that it first shows us an Abraham who is still obedient to the system of human sacrifice. It shows the obedience first: it shows that it's out of that obedience that true change becomes possible.”
— René Girard
Elon would’ve just given her a tour of the Terafab floor, a Cybercab ride home, possibly a baby if she wasn’t too pushy about the GPUs

If Jensen Huang is forced to resign, blackmail becomes more powerful. People shouldn't get into the morals game on this one. He and his wife can work it out. As for everyone else. You are old. (I am, too, no shade.) Nobody hot wants to sleep with you. Unless she's a spy.
CIA: Did u sleep with the spy?
Jensen:
US intelligence agencies believe @Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had romantic relationship with alleged Chinese spy

The next Western leader on his state visit to Malaysia

China puts data centers in Malaysia to get access to compute they can't get in China due to sanctions. The US puts data centers in Malaysia because every state bans data centers. AGI happens. Malaysia nationalizes all the data centers and becomes the sole hegemon of the world.

Quick! Get Steve on that government dating app
Steve, a tiny dibbler at Perth Zoo, reportedly helped save his endangered species without ever becoming a father. Female dibblers prefer larger mates, and Steve was too small and apparently didn't smell appealing. Keepers used him as the first male females encountered during breeding trials. After meeting Steve, females found the next males more attractive and were more willing to mate. According to the zoo, Steve lived a long life as an unlikely conservation hero.

Liu Bei was purely a warlord of chaotic times; his Shu Han regime levied extremely heavy taxes and the people lived in misery.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is written entirely from the perspective of the Han imperial house and the vested interests. The one who truly tried to

I am beginning to see malware distributed via Whatsapp messages locally in Malaysia.

“Trick or Treat!”
“This is not a registered household for the Resident Network’s Trick or Treat programme, which exists so that participating households can prepare a set amount of treats based on a confirmed number of child participants. Unregistered households which have made no contributions are prohibited from participating as this is unfair to registered households. According to Singapore Law Trick or Treat-ing at this household therefore carries a fine of SG$300”

Today I want to show you something I never saw anywhere else
But I see them all over Portugal (and apparently Spain too)
They're giant warehouses in the middle of nowhere with big red signs saying MEGA CHINA, HIPER CHINA, MAXI CHINA, or even GRANDE CHINA
They're shops by Chinese immigrants from a single place in China, the Zheijang province (where Alibaba is also from)
The story is that they came to Southern Europe in the 1990s and 2000s and built these shops
They started as small shops but then during the financial crisis in 2008, there was suddenly lots of super cheap warehouses from bankrupt Portuguese companies so they took them over and turned their tiny shops into massive stores
Now they're anything but small, they're MEGA CHINA
It's a tight family run network with a few distribution hubs that supply the shops and in the hubs then get supplied by container ships from China. Way more advanced than I first thought
China is everywhere, even in the middle of nowhere in Portugal!

The lore on Javin is incredible. Crypto bro just like the rest of us he lost enough money on LUNA to buy a landed house but grinded it out and is now winning international tailor awards. He made my wedding suit too. Top tier Singaporean.
Singapore tailor is the first non-Italian to win prestigious Italian tailoring prize bit.ly/3Wh8gBy

There is no way the buildings on the top here cost more to build than the buildings on the bottom (Stockholm and Kiev serves as examples) but builders and developers and architects like to claim beauty is expensive. What we can tell though is that actual beauty adds on average 15% to the price of individual new builds and that the value increase compounds when you have entire streets and ensembles built in a harmonious style.

creativity by definition is about tinkering at the edges, frontier-maxxing, venturing forth into the unknown
an LLM by definition is a line hugging the statistical mean
this is why "AI art" is an oxymoron
