@Austen @paulg It’s called language relativity and is the hardest barrier for non-natives to overcome. There are also absolutely no solutions for this and ChatGPT is a great tool to reshape your thoughts in a native way.

I firmly believe science and engineering fields should be considered creative. We biasedly consider creative fields to be only art-related, but creativity is a free-form exploratory process that leads to creation, which is the basis of scientific discovery

Since the awareness of neurodiversity grows, neurodivergence looks more as a form of intellectual and creative freedom rather than a brain malfunction

The most transformative foundation model yet may be the large nature language model that will decipher the languages of mathematics, physics, biology, and other sciences, fundamentally enhancing our comprehension of how the world functions

ChatGPT is insanely good to help with linguistic relativity for non-native speakers. There were absolutely no tools for that except tutors or a massive amount of hours spent in native culture.

@bryan_johnson Every 5th child in the US drinks no water at all, they use soda and other sugary drinks to make up the difference. Are these artificially built habits the diversity and joy they are aiming for?

My first startup was candy arbitrage. I would buy candy for 10 cents at the grocery store and sell it at school for $1. And I’ve heard that exact same story from so many other founders that I’ve come to believe it’s a genetic marker for successful entrepreneurs.

@hiddensmallcaps I'd argue that Blackrock is 10 years ahead. Blackrock has a momentum of being the first in human although they have crude outdated solutions. There are better emerging BCI solutions (better than Neuralink too). Being first in this market is not a competitive advantage.

@casey__allen @danprimack They also struggle to show the source of clear funds sometimes (this could lead to sanction organisations). This is true for smaller ones. The largest ones are under sanctions or closely related to those under sanctions.
