The dominant goal is to produce the most entertaining public blog and life story. One method is to "fail" at secondary goals which others insist are primary. Comments can be posted with care, to influence the next episode. 1st-3rd degree reverse psychology is the sweet spot. At least he's not in any legal trouble...

HERE: ayn rand would say the only failure is on the people who are insisting things they have no right to insist.

my network is not on hacker news comments nor linkedin reading crap like what i posted haha. thanks for reading the fine print i didn't realize i had to not post that legally i will take it down now. tried contacted the lawyers (Cat & Zach & Jona but they didn't reply so now i will take it down. no prob. i'm compliant.) thanks kindly!!! appreciate the comment.

Your network is not on HN but you submitted this and asked "please go upvote or leave your comments here:" with a link to HN? Anyone in your "network" who sincerely wants to help would give you the simple advice I'm going to give you: grow up. This post and all of your replies here are cringey and immature, and don't bode well for your employability no matter how smart you are (or think you are).

nobody has told me to grow up since i was 5. when daddy beat us so thanks.

yes my email and the blog content itself and my newsletter and private DMs and linkedin and each comment thread are each in separate databases and therefore i treat them as discrete surfaces on which to generate my tokens oh also voice. when i speak to the atoms in the air to people next to me in meatspace that's the big one. and the one Simple AI kinda bets on. thanks for encouraging me to grow up that seems product…

ah this math was better than the daddy joke. focus on this.

I'm so confused by what I just read. What was the point of that? Why is this on hn? It's incoherent and almost manic; I'm a bit worried the author might be experiencing some kind of mental health crisis.

Maybe OP have some different objective instead of being coherent and understood here (I hope that is the case). That said, it really looks like a manic episode

I commented because I'm not sure if you have considered that you might not be well. I hope you look after yourself. What you are doing right now, including posting all these responses to comments here, does not seem healthy.

huh fascinating you've commented to amass 5784 karma insideOutSanta but never posted or submitted a single thing? to HN? i would give you -5 karma as a loser who never submitted something. that seems healthy to me

You've now responded a second time to my comment, both times saying things that I feel most people who are doing okay would probably not say. I hope you will reconsider what is currently happening to you and seek help. I realize that this is something people often say as an insult, but it's not meant that way, and I hope you will consider the possibility that you genuinely do need help right now.

It's only worth what someone will pay for it. And often there are no buyers.

sounds true. i wouldn't know

I've had equity in a couple of start-ups. None of it ever ended up being worth anything. Remember your equity is a lower priority claim on assets than a creditor has in a bankruptcy.

one method is to be perfectly calibrated to all potential knock-on effects to the 4th degree so x^1 x^2 x^3 x^4 terms. i do not claim six sigma so ^5 and beyond or like 4+ standard devs is beyond me obv there are only a few humans that good. but i am good enough that i get calibration to the 1-4th degree psychology. thanks. and yes i agree all comments should be careful. and beautiful and art you look back at and lau…

Why did you include emails threatening to blackmail Simple AI to get more money ("wondering what a fair exit package looks like ... and what I should post on Linkedin to update my network"), then indicating that after you received $20K in payment, you "wouldn't bother" them? All of this following a him-or-me demand email. And then making this post? It's a pattern of self-destructive behavior. The best possible course…

i'll antagonize whoever i deem to antagonize because usually when i do i ask questions and then they can respond and we call that conversation. that's my preferred form of antagonism is written speech on the internet. please excuse me while i continue antagnozing you who has nothing to do with the employer in question at all whatsover and never will good luck to you sir

The people from Simple AI are probably smiling while they read this thread.
