I know I have said this before, but its soooo important to know.

In america your 5th amendment right to remain silent is **not** granted automatically. If speaking with a cop if you remain silent without explicitly invoking it as a right that silence **can** and will be used against you in a court of law. It is **only** when you explicitly verbalize you are invoking your right that you gain this protection!

Shame it didnt work out for you then, maybe make another go?

I would say money is pretty easy to make legally and morally too. Most, almost every one, has very poor money habits. So generally most people are looking for ways to waste their money and dont even realize it. Honestly if money was a bit harder to make we might have a healthier economy because then people would have to actually provide services of value.

Im always happy to hear new ideas, but keep in mind if i like it I would steal it, so if you dont want someone to steal it you shouldnt share it (or at least get an NDA first). But yes if you publicly expose your idea ill listen and see if i get any inspiration from it, sure.

COVID destroyed a lot of startups sadly. That said 6 figures is a bit hard to start a company off of unless its at the higher end of that, or unless its an idea you think you could totally do yourself including marketing and sales, which isnt very common.

Its certainly fun. But yea the company itself was technically founded in 2007 but was just me working for free to build it up since then. The tech was from a few years earlier already too.

@AmpBenzScientist Obviously im not saying very much. But yea lots of fun, I have high hopes. I've been working on AGI for 20 years now and I think we are finally at the door step.

@AmpBenzScientist

What about the Netherlands (your spelling is closer to the native word for the country)?

@omegaman

@freemo C'est la vie.

Hope you are having fun with your new company. 🙂

After talking with my Musslim friend group today (long time since we caught up) I was very happy to hear that they all agreed they would never vote for #Biden or #Trump... Its good to hear that Biden's racism is catching up with him.
