It's two different ideas being blended. Quite confusing.

The best thing about AI is I can just put totally batshit nonsensical shit into it when I am high AF, and it will somehow get where I am going with it and give me back something that makes a lot more sense that the babble that I put into it.

🇺🇸 SAM ALTMAN: "STOP SWEET-TALKING THE ROBOTS, NERDS"

According to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, all that polite language people use with ChatGPT — like “please” and “thank you” — is costing a fortune in electricity and computing power.

Why? Because ChatGPT has to process your Victorian-era manners like they’re nuclear launch codes.

In short: the bot doesn’t care.

It doesn’t need your gratitude, it doesn’t get offended, and it’s definitely not going to remember that time you said “thanks” for saving your last-minute English essay.

But, as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman quipped, “You never know”—future AI might just surprise us and become self-aware.

Translation: we're all still scared of a robot rebellion and trying to rack up good karma just in case.

Gold is going to lose its value as Jewelry if it loses its value as money. No one is talking about this.

People wore gold to show wealth.

Hot take: Libertarians are the state’s most dedicated enemies and, in true Girardian fashion become its most faithful imitators.

Rene Girard observed that enemies often become mirror images of each other. The more fiercely they oppose, the more they mimic. The obsession breeds resemblance. This is the trap of mimetic rivalry: we become like the thing we hate.

Libertarians see the state as the ultimate enemy. But in their desire to escape or overthrow it, they begin to reflect its mindset. They study its structure, anticipate its moves, simulate its power in miniature. They build parallel institutions—private courts, private currencies, private defense—as if reconstructing the state from scratch, but with different branding.

Their deep paranoia, their obsession with sovereignty, even their fetish for rules (so long as they’re voluntary)—these are all echoes of the very system they claim to reject.

Like the revolutionary who dreams only of becoming the king he deposed, the libertarian is haunted by the shape of the state. He cannot stop thinking like it, preparing for it, becoming like it in opposition.

So yes—libertarians are closet statists. Not because they love the state, but because they hate it with such intensity that they’ve begun to mimic it.

The enemy has colonized their imagination.

My toddler is not even 2 years old and is already talking (in two languages), eats the same food as us, walks nearly a mile a day, has a tan of an island bro, and is the height/size of a 4 year old. 👦

The vaccines, industrial food substitutes, industrial baby products and clothes, sun deficiency, and overall NPC living is seriously fucking kids over. 💉
