I made a video exploring part of the Gates Foundation. I’d love to get some feedback about this topic and get a better perspective via my video linked below https://youtu.be/lnhUMCeBnH0?si=vQ1-KWKveUzpy3EU

That’s an interesting take! We already have so many empty apartments and store fronts in NYC, is there some kind of nexus point where building starts suppressing prices even with deluge of available units? Also, with population growth stagnating, wouldn’t this be put on steroids in the near future if rates drop?

Same in my industry, so many people come and go and the longer you’re in it, the stronger the relationships.

Definitely going to say this is good work, but not my cup of tea. I’m convinced that the lotto is a tax on the poor. I think the government should have zero involvement in the lotto, regardless of the funding it brings in. It’s not a public service nor a public good. But seriously I hope your hard work pays off.

I posted this to r/shittymoviedetails on Reddit and within the first hour, the post got 34k views. Reddit has locked it and it’s dying a slow death. I guess it was too risqué for their platform.

What to do with my career? Continue on with my successful career in live events, installations and IT? Or Put all my chips on the table and work 24/7 on my DePIN project, Payce?

Do you just do solidity or do you also work with other programming languages like Rust for Solana? Is it better to just stick to one?

100% this. Rational thought prevails but you need the skills to be able to think rationally. So many out there lack those critical skills

But if those videos aren’t coming from legit sources then they die in the echo chambers in which they began. They still have an effect but only to those that have already fallen victim to the Qcult and their iterations

One way to look at the possible effects of deepfakes in politics is to look at "shallow fakes" that have been possible for a long time. For example, this screenshot purporting to be a "you're free to say whatever nasty stuff you want" whitelist for twitter. I actually have no idea if this is real or fake, but there definitely are some people who are treating it as real, imo without sufficient evidence. And yet, the effects of things like this are pretty bounded. This feels like a plausible outcome for deepfakes in politics. The smart people know not to trust a politician's statements without confirmation on official channels, and less smart people get tricked, as they do today with shallow fakes. If something fake goes viral, Community Notes can help on the margin in making it clear that it's fake. Most normies don't actually look at this stuff in real time, and so the effect ends up not too bad. This is the strongest case for not being too worried. The place where I am *more* worried about deepfakes is...

A democrat and a MAGA republican are asked if they would eat Donald Trump’s shit for $10,000. Democrat: No fucking way, that’s gross. MAGA republican: Absolutely, but you need to give me some time to get the money together.
