They recently held the Olympics, yes they are a functioning country. Or are westerners too clueless to make that connection? A functioning country is the bare minimum requirement. The recount of experience here does not mean that somehow th

Sincerely, I have no idea how to respond to any of that. I’m kind of at a loss… hasn’t the messaging been that it takes a generation or so to make an effective change in the mindset of a population? Aren’t we bearing the fruits of that?

It’s funny how we seem to be on this treadmill of “tech that uses GPUs to crunch data” starting with the Bitcoin thing, moving to NFTs, now LLMs. Wonder what’s next.

Can you elaborate at all as to why you didn't make the phone call you eluded to that made the other person change their tone? I assume out of respect for the deceased/leaving skeletons in the closet?

I haven’t read most of the comments here and none on substack, but looking at your resume, I’d spend some time making it look slightly warmer, throw some color in there. I’d also consider re-working your job history, it “looks like a lot of
