One meta belief I have, is that I think "on the face pursuing idealistic objective A, but actually being tilted toward selfish objective B" is better than "openly pursuing objective B". Many seem to believe the opposite, typically saying something like "at least the latter is honest". I feel like what this misses, is that maintaining the face of pursuing idealistic objective A, and using A to coordinate a large coalition, is a pretty big speed bump against attempts to pursue B too brazenly. When "the mask comes off", things actually become much worse, and strategies that pursue B at high costs to other values (including A, and also often general human decency) become unlocked. Are there any good arguments against this intuition I have? (Whether generalized, or about specific situations)

There's a problem with this theory: I'm a direct representative of the globalist WEF elite and I don't endorse the OpenAI for-profit transition https://x.com/AxelrodThe2nd/status/1865332310729466216

Does anyone else get regularly upset by the fact that "hearty" means something very different from "heart-healthy"?

In regular programming, zero is false and anything else is true. In ZK cryptography, zero is true and anything else is false.

There are still over 2k+ users waiting to enter phase 1 To make things fair, the first community pool distribution will go live after all users make it to phase 1 Now that we've fixed some of the stability issues, we'll also be increasing the rate at which people can enter phase 1

We just pushed an update to more clearly see your cohort start time We've seen ~$250k deposits in the last 30 minutes. If your start time is being pushed back it's because other players have increased their rank relative to you by either: - depositing more eth - inviting more people - boosting casts

T-minus ~20 hours till scoop goes live players will be let in to the app based on their position in the leaderboard — so the higher you are on the leaderboard, the earlier your cohort to climb the leaderboard, deposit more funds into your scoop wallet

after more testing and bugfixing (pls update to the latest version!), we've opened up invite codes again 🎉🎉 to make it fair for people who couldn't get in and ensure the game starts smoothly, we're pushing back game start one more week (to Wed the 26th). we're excited for everyone to see what we've cooked for phase 1 🔜🔜 p.s this is a boosted cast, so +250 points is up for grabs if you like and recast 🫡

There's a fascinating analogy between coding in python using hyper-optimized vectorized libraries (numpy, cupy, torch...), and living in Singapore. In python, whatever you're not vectorizing takes the longest, even if it's utterly trivial. Literally picking merkle branches out of a pre-built tree is taking me longer than an entire fast fourier transform. In Singapore, whatever you get from international brands (as opposed to eg. hawker centers) is the most expensive, even if it's utterly trivial. I've literally had meals where the starbucks green tea I had right after a hawker center meal cost more than the meal.
