iOS developer here. As long as you make < $1M/year their cut is 15%, which is absolutely worth it considering the quality of the App Store and payment experience and the fact that iOS users actually pay unlike Android. When I hit th

When I ask what it knows about me it gives details that I didn’t provide - if it’s not hallucinating then it’s leaking data across chats.

When that edge case makes for an absolutely terrible experience of driving across North Dakota in 0F weather and having to stop every 150 miles then you definitely don’t forget that pain when buying your next car.

This is why I never understood people resigning in protest such as was the case with Google’s military contracts. You simply assure that the culture change happens more swiftly.

Seeking to collapse the unique contexts and interplay between 8 billion individuals is incredibly dangerous, leading to things like command-and-control economies, socialism, and genecide. The information surface area and processing power of

Roman monogamy was perhaps largely administrative. When a man eventually became a citizen through his military service he was only allowed to confer that citizenship to one wife and bloodline. Given how radical their “immigration” system al

I like this take. Already you see specialization of dating apps toward different relationship styles, with Hinge more focused on Monogamy, Tinder on the casual/singles crowd, and Feeld for the nonmonogamous. I agree this is decidedly p

Note that these cultural norms evolved prior to modern birth control, STI testing/treatment, and peak population. Birth control is a radical invention and it is shocking that it hasn’t led to even more rapid cultural change than it has

I blame “The Ethical Slut” for a lot of the strange ideas people have around non-monogamy. It gave people a whole bunch of rules and ideals for polyamory to replace their rules and ideals around monogamy. Rather than freedom, it’s just trad

“I Feel Love” was a fantastic book, written in a very professional journalistic tone. It sits well along side Michael Pollan’s “How to Change Your Mind”.

It’s not as good as elevenlabs and probably not worth most listeners time. I would wait a year or so for further improvements.

“One does have to wonder why we need to medicate ourselves to cope with reality rather than change reality instead.” A lot of our problems are due to self deception. One thing psychedelics are good for is being able to see through the lies

Nah, while it’s good for mental health, it’s not a productivity enhancer. It can be hard to focus on complicated concepts or even recall facts like people’s names.

I’ll push back on this. I think most of us want some external validation that what we’re creating is useful and valuable. I spent 2 solid years working on https://improve.ai and it’s gotten very little uptake. It’s taken a long
