And most importantly: a guy called Frank Dux stole a lot of his BS stories for himself, along with stories about being recruited by the CIA as a secret Karate spy. He then convinced a Hollywood producer to make a film about his life. That film? Bloodsport.

Fell into an internet hole recently of martial arts frauds and have become obsessed with this guy. Count Dante was a legit early pioneer of Karate in America, one of the first to teach it to African-Americans, a mobbed-up abusive piece of shit and a key figure in the Chicago Dojo Wars of the 60s.

Feels like I'm tempting fate by saying this, but I'm not super scared of an ascendant right-wing debate bro who, at any moment, may have to leave to go accompany Merry and Pippin to Isengard

This part was absolutely incredible. "I am a vibe coder, I harness the power of AI to 10x my skills and productivity, I am the future of AI/human interaction, I am so unskilled I cannot even be trusted to look up Youtube tutorials on my own"

Went to dig around in this company's website and it really cannot be undersold just how shitty the slop they're peddling is. They've set up Insta accounts for some of their 'top' AI influencers and the videos they're posting this month look like they were made using 2023 tech.
