"SF is a deep meritocracy. people don't really care how much money you have or care where you went to school" - Celeste Amadon "they care about how smart and capable you are" "i think these men that come to SF, a lot of them do make it and pour 100% of their life into it" "but that means they come up for air in their 30s and they don't have the friend groups and haven't dated as much" "that's a tough spot to be in"

part two of why Celeste Amadon thinks dating in SF is bad: "the men in dallas are looking for women who are sweet, nurturing and someone who will be a good mother" "the men in SF are looking for women as educated as them, as successful as them, diverse in their life experiences and someone who will be a good mother" "i don't think where you went to school should be one of the qualifying questions when you're dating at 35" "but i don't think it's unreasonable and i see why people care about it" "in SF people are looking for more than just a chemistry match and unless it's all of those things (compatibility, lifestyle, intellect, background) then dating isn't lucrative enough for them"

"my guess is that we are three to maybe nine months away from every piece of software we rely on being exploitable by most models, even open weight ones" - Theo - t3.gg "we're about to hit a point where every single hospital, library and local city government and their google accounts are exploitable "by AI" and there is going to be terrible legislation proposed as a result"

we reacted to Sina's post on how to meet women in SF. "i think the problem is that a lot of men are not super comfortable with approaching women in real life" - Celeste Amadon "60% of young men have never approached a woman in real life to ask them out on a date. that feels right to me" "maybe 1 out of 3 times an approach would land. i don't think a lot of men or women are ready to deal with that type of face to face rejection" "we're a lot less attuned to it (rejection) now"
