Please do.
- isoprophlex 2y agoI would like to know how he manages to appear, in every single photo I see of him, to look slightly but unmistakenly... moist, or at least sweaty.
- bryanrasmussen 2y agoPeople keep assassinating him, and clones always look a bit moist the first day out of the pod.
- falcor84 2y agoAre the assassinations because of something we already know about? some new advance that is still under wraps? or is it time travelers with knowledge about what he will do if left unchecked?
- omnimus 2y agoPeter Thiel is the like that too. Hyperhidrosis is in some people common sideffect of drugs.
- hlynurd 2y agoI often look moist after I use a moisturizer.

- throw1223323 2y agoBased on his interview with Joe Rogan, he has absolutely no imagination about what it means if humans actually manage to build general AI. Rogan basically ends up introducting him to some basic ideas about transhumanism. To me, he is a finance bro grifter who lucked into his current position. Without Ilya he would still be peddling WorldCoin.

- viraptor 2y agoThere's weirdly many people who touch on the work around transhumanism but never heard the word before. There's a video of geohot basically talking about that idea, then someone from the audience mentions the name... and geohotz is confused. I'm honestly surprised.
- tim333 2y agoThe transhumanists tended to be philosopher types, the name coming from this kind of idea of humanism: >Humanism is a philosophical stance that emphasizes the individual and social potential, and agency of human beings, whom it considers the starting point for serious moral and philosophical inquiry. (wikipedia) Whereas the other lot are often engineers / compsci / business people building stuff.
- JKCalhoun 2y ago> who lucked into his current position Which can be said for most of the survivorship-biased "greats" we talk about. Right time, right place. (Although to be fair — and we can think of the Two Steves, or Bill and Paul — there are often a number of people at the right time and right place — so somehow the few we still talk about knew to take advantage of that right time and right place.)
