Could you draw up a quick document with the basic business plan?

Just one page as a Google doc and send me the link.

Thanks.

There's this betting pool for the first year that there's a one-person billion-dollar company, which would have been unimaginable without AI, and now it will happen.

So this is Livia, correct?

Forgiveness was the Dave Ruse joint.

Oh, okay.

I thought this was Livia.

So, yeah, thanks to Dave for this.

He did a great job with this research.

But the evolutionary aspect of forgiveness is super interesting to me because I think that a lot of people assume forgiveness

that it's what Dave calls a higher virtue.

Like, you know, as Tuk Tuk and the gang were so base as, you know, kind of primitive thinkers, is that they didn't have the capacity to forgive.

They would smite somebody.

If someone punched Tuk Tuk in the face, Tuk Tuk punched back.

Or if someone attacked Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk attacked back, maybe even harder.

And there is quite a bit of evidence that they're not mutually exclusive and that fighting back and forgiving both have a big evolutionary advantage.

Yeah.

So the big evolutionary advantage of revenge is if you live in a social group,

and somebody takes advantage of you or they hit you or they steal your food or whatever, if you don't do something to right that wrong, you're broadcasting to the rest of the group that you're open for exploitation.
