These "competitive forecasting" platforms seem very interesting. What do you need to be good at this sort of skill?

It's Israel.

This war doesn't make any sense for US to be involved in. It makes every sense for Israel to have the US involved in.

I'm excited to announce that I'll be permanently offboarding a team member tomorrow to optimize our collective synergy and streamline our long-term strategic alignment. #CareerGrowth #DisruptiveInnovation #Leadership

"Offensive" nuclear weapons are necessary for MAD to work. North Korea, even with a starving population, is untouchable just because they managed to steal nuclear tech from U.S. many decaddes ago.

My experience is that you can't "convince" people out of Facebook, Instagram and Tiktok, because the platforms themselves convince people to use them. They always emit that background radiation of "You're missing out on VERY important stuff".

It's literally brainwashing by design. My dad is convinced everybody should use Facebook to be informed or they'll be "left behind". My peers are convinced you're socially a loser if you don't have Instagram. Privacy concerns are not even an afterthought.

And this brainwashing sits on top of the dopamine/reward center related neurochemical effects of these apps, which are very mild, much milder than any typical substance addictions for most people.

It took me aboout 3 months of abstinence of Reddit and HN for it to finally click that I didn't actually need them at any capacity in my life.

The blind spot is all too obvious for those with eyes to see. I can tell which app is a person's drug of choice within ~5 minutes of meeting them. Over time, these algorithm-driven apps even (subtly) change a person's personality.

Well written article. PR runs the show in this age.

You're not crazy. I feel it might be a case of LLM-brain, a person who interacts with LLMs so much they start talking like them.

No need to worry. They have extensively stress-tested the American public over the past few years and the conclusion is clear: Americans are never going to revolt no matter what you do to them.

Wow, weird to see it's a documented phenomenon. I thought it was just me. At times I can talk, write or make sounds in a manner that is not intentional nor voluntary. Though it's nothing psychic, it's just a weird crossover of my ADHD and dissocation.

Technological determinism and post-abundance scarcity. Everything is so WWI once again. Ideologies largely don't matter at all.
