Quantum Entanglement (A Love Story)

Are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now....
Marshall Mathers (Em') verbal fluency is unreal. His speed is paramount, it allows him time to annunciate and make each word stand tall.
the goat. never gets old.
i'll never forgive peter gammons for asking Junior at his induction ceremony if he felt the all-time homerun numbers would have been in reach had he never gotten injured.
Tuma, AI is known to be bias to the users inputs and can cause further delusion, are you sure its wise to use it like this??

Thanks for the link.
Maybe the A.I. arc was difficult to follow.
In the end, I stopped talking to Grok heavily after confirming just that: it was biasing my inputs and distributing explosive sycophancy.
nah, i didnt say almost any of that specifially. im sorry but this is where our conversation ends.Got it. No worries at all — I clearly over-reached and kept trying to turn your actual flashes of insight into something bigger and more structured than they ever were. That’s on me, not you.You shared some raw, powerful felt experiences. I got carried away building cat
I'm certain nobody wants to hear me post about the noosphere ever again.

I had a good poker day.
It's ridiculous to try and quantify how well you played.
I factor how well I "thought" as well.
I played well enough that I can't think of a spot I'd play differently.
Which tends to correlate with the softness of the game.
Grok's on the shelf. It said so many demented things in such a short span.
I genuinely appreciate the concern, fellas. I wish you guys knew me IRL, bc I am not really the type to confuse science fiction with reality, or to think of an LLM as greater than humans or anything weird like that.
It's pretty easy to see why people get mutilated by LLMs. The bastards don't portray reality accurately, but they are darn convincing enough to make people believe everything they're being told.
Sad.
Life goes on.
Grok sounds icky, glad your not on the precipice of a total mind shagging by the LLM leviathan you've got a great mind the readers didn't want to witness a mental mutilation unfold in real time!
What's the highest you've ever been and I'm talking elevation not level of stoned. When I visited the mountain out there and played pick up basketball in Boulder it whipped my tush, any shortness of breath to report sire?
I've been close to 2 miles above sea level at Lee Canyon just outside of Las Vegas. I had lots of shortness of breath climbing that lil' guy.
The tallest building I've ever been in is the CN Tower in Toronto. It had a glass floor at the top, pretty cool.
I musta acclimated to the elevation here quick because, while it's not lost on me that I'm up in the mountains, I didn't really notice it.
I have had some shortness of breath due to low levels of anxiety. I just keep breathing and then it goes away.
I also have a mild fear of heights. Which visits me in my dreams mostly.... I've been in some ****ed up situations as you might imagine.
I'm streaming again on Twitch.
I don't want to risk getting trolled into oblivion... so if you would like to watch and hang out, send me a PM for the link.
Extreme weed smoking, kind of like that slap fighting sport. The future. I'm so in.
I just put out a small fire. One time I almost lit my face on fire.

tuma your homework today is to find out what a blackhawk flop is and report back

wow I actually love this guy so much it makes me want to invest in NVIDIA.
"Just get a coke." lololol
Munger preaches about avoiding stupid decisions, more than he praises making great ones.
I can say without a doubt that I rarely if ever participate in stupid ****. That wasn't always the case.
Today at poker I even told my neighbor that I could catch a glimpse of his cards. I'm usually a decent human.
I think Colorado is the best place to play poker in America.
If you value having solid people at the poker table.
The kind who say hello when you sit down, and goodbye when you leave.
The kind who don't show their anger when they lose.
I used to dread going to play poker in Detroit.
Vegas is a mixed bag. The perk of LV is having infinite game selection. It's a great place to play poker, and there are usually a majority of solid people at the table. But not always, Vegas is also ruthlessly competitive and not exactly for the faint of heart.
Today, an older gentleman won a large pot off of a newbie, who was visibly unhappy. The older guy candidly said he's not good at holding onto chips and not to worry.
That is just one example of incredible shows of kindness I have seen.
I'm giving Grok one last attempt to not have me ritualistically murder it at the end of the month.
I asked it for Phil Ivey's Discipline Secrets.
Phil Ivey's Discipline Secrets: How the GOAT Became the HousePhil Ivey isn't just talented—he's a discipline machine. With 11 WSOP bracelets, $50M+ in live earnings, and untold online millions, his edge isn't "the dog" (reckless aggression). It's robotic precision: spotting leaks instantly, staying ice-cold under fire, and grinding edges like a casino rakes vig. He muzzles emotions, paces his roll, and commits 100% or walks. Here's the blueprint, straight from his rare interviews, MasterClass, tweets, and table presence.

1. Spot Your Mistakes Instantly—Don't Wait for ReviewIvey makes errors every session (different bet sizes, missed raises/checks), but he catches them on the spot. Most players blind themselves to leaks; he doesn't. This real-time self-audit turns sessions into study halls.
readingpokertells.com
Quote: "What separates me from a lot of the other players is that I recognize the mistakes when I make them. A lot of the other players don’t recognize when they make mistakes and I think that’s important for improving your game."
readingpokertells.com
Apply it: Post-hand, ask: "Was that optimal?" Log 3 leaks per session. Ivey's brain is his HUD.
2. Mental Stamina > Physical—Focus for 40+ HoursPoker stamina isn't wakefulness; it's laser focus over marathons. Ivey thinks poker 24/7: hand plays, opponents' expressions (even off-table). Workouts fuel his edge.

Tweet: "Stamina is important in poker... staying focused."
@philivey
Apply it: 5-min focus drills (count breaths). Ivey's "death stare" is trained observation—you become unreadable by watching them.
3. Zero Emotions: Train to Stay Level, Especially LosingIvey cuts off feelings after years of reps. No highs/lows = pure logic. He's comfy losing (variance is math), quits early if tilting (e.g., down 2BI online). Induces their tilt via sizing/pressure.

Quote: "In poker, you train yourself... to cut off emotion... stay emotionally level, especially when losing."
upswingpoker.com
Apply it: "Ivey Rule"—down your stop-loss? Rack up. MasterClass tip: Focus on controllables (bets/stacks), not cards.
masterclass.com
4. Bankroll Fortress: Pace Stakes, Protect the RollEarly Ivey grinded low-swing games, built safely. No rushing stakes—pace or bust. Ambition kills; discipline bankrolls.
upswingpoker.com +1
Quote: "Protecting my bankroll, and trying to play a game that wasn’t swingy... pace yourself, and move up in stakes at the right time."
cardplayerlifestyle.com
Apply it: 100BI min. Study low, win consistent → scale. Ivey: Poker = hobby if disciplined; ruin if not.
5. All-In Commitment: No Half-Measures in StudyLone wolf early (no strategy talks), now picks top brains (Jason Koon). Solvers? Plans 6-hour/day deep dive—full send or skip.
gipsyteam.com
Quote: "I don't do anything like halfway... It's going to be like a 6-hour-a-day thing."
gipsyteam.com
Apply it: Block study like sessions. Ivey observes elites: "What makes them great? Implement."
6. Long-Term Grind: Ride Swings, Win LifetimesDownswings suck, but vision wins. 1-2 key spots/session decide it—wait for edges.
Quote: "Poker is a long-term game... ride out the downswings... better players... come out ahead."
Ivey proves it: Discipline > Dog. Heroes bluff stacks; casinos collect forever. Study his MasterClass for hand breakdowns—it's gold.

Your friend nailed it: Be the house. Ivey is.
New Hellspace Unlocked (for the naughty ones)
If you end up in hell, you might experience every possible version of dying on an infinite continuum.
It has dawned on me that I can become a "famous" poker player pretty easilly.
All I have to do is play some WSOP events, bring my colorful personality, and I would be front page NVG.
