people are not deterministic
sometimes i wonder how people get to places; when they tell me "i did xyz", previously id try and replicate that process to get that desired outcome.
but more often than not ive realized that people are not deterministic. which empirically makes sense, given that i dont reply to messages with the same robotic tone (maybe in a few years if i ever get famous and need gpt4 to help out).
so next time you're thinking "how can i get intro'd to sam altman" or "how do i network", you really should be thinking "how do i build really cool shit such that sam altman or other people flock to me naturally". ill explain later on how this can happen (hint: ties into social capital).
