 would it be accurate to say that the philosophical cornerstone of meta is zuck making facebook while at college to try to meet chicks? 😂

zuck is also now working on a new non-profit ai venture with his wife.  they put out a statement:

“AI is catalyzing scientific discovery into health and disease. 

To accelerate progress, we’re building one of the world’s largest computing systems dedicated to non-profit life science research that we’ll leverage to create predictive models of whole cells.”

——

BUT❕i’m having a hard time reconciling the philosophical cornerstones of these two hugely UNsimilar things.

 who's "they?" 
 there are many of “them”

but it ~is~ better to get to “us”

 When nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00gjsfl8f237lmu63q0uf63m was CEO of Twitter and... 
 always so neat to hear stuff from your inside perspective. 
 I’m having trouble reconciling the notion that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3tw00g... 
 lots of people so easily & so often oversimplify things and make judgments about things as if they’re considering an accurate or a big enough picture.

my take…a story i believe about twitter is that for a long time, it was very simple with (mostly) just character-limited text, which made it so super cool and more pure & required more creativity & wit. 

twitter started as a great & awesome idea imho…extremely low “bandwidth” for instantaneous global communication, useable with the simplest of phones & bare minimum connectivity.

(nice in a way to remember the olden days of yore, lol 🥲)

…🌀… but over many years, lots of different powers & forces came through morphing twitter into a BEAST of its own.

now, though, twitter is no longer in existence.  it met its end.

…& here we are trying to goodly give life to nostr  :) 

indeed, a super fun/interesting endeavor/experiment/project…for us all to take part in…thanks to many devs and funders of devs ✨ 
 but if anyone out there ~knows~ of juicy illuminati theories we should consider, would love to hear about them, plz.

maybe the twitter mafia is evil 😈 ?!  maybe they’re angels 😇?! 
i dunno 🤷🏻‍♀️

 jack, can you pretty please zap me a billion sats?  i ~do~ have  medical bills to pay, and this post of yours reminded me of that. 
 should we be zapping marie or xiaolin? 😂🤣😂🤣 
 xiaolin deserves every sat❕😂 
 marie should get a cut though! 🙏😂

and in all seriousness, though, i really do love how xiaolin is such a positive force.  inspiring, fun, sincere…etc. etc. etc. ✨✨✨✨✨

 I do not want to leave Japan 😭 
 this would very much be like if i said france was germany lite.  or take any country pair with extremely superficial similarities. lol. (entirely different language, different culture, but somewhat similar in ways i can see easily from my far off spot here in ‘merica.)

 v cool, but that’s expected of you.  next time surprise us with a truly stoopid post plz! 
 people should do their best not to ostracize, and they should also do their best to not be afraid of being ostracized.  

such cultural phenomena allow bullies to become leaders, allows a fear (cowardly) mindset to spread, and also continually lowers “the bar” (for freedom & flourishing).

 maybe true that all of earf’s cultures have taken a turn for the worse 🌏🌍🌎

 this is ~exactly~ like the time i said that every single asian girl becomes a triple black belt by age two.  but this time i’ll add “especially korean girls.” 😂😂 
 seems like you guys are chatting on the 4chan website. 
 oh, behave, beaver 🫂.  i’m guessing you know better, so…✨💖✨ 
 does this actually make sense to you?  😂😂  logic and assumptions are a bit off, i’d say. 
 no, surely it does not. 😦😐😵‍💫
