He’s been an internet joke since day 1.

Remember the programme he which profiled him, UKs richest or something.

I still watch that every so often it is on YouTube.

Wife and I still misuse that phrase "most quality" in the way he did. It's a wonderful mangling of the English language. It is our code for gold-plated nonsense, bling and tack.

Half way through part 1 and it's better than I remember. What a humble he is

ETA: This is amazing... https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Brucie_Kibbutz and surely the kudos he craved?!

He’s still working under purple lights in Mayfair dressed in tom Ford developing the never to be released app. His incredibly fit but tone deaf privileged wife is nowhere to be seen.

Madness a decade or more ago. Nothing has changed.

I pity the father in law.

This is from his latest story. Fictional no doubt.

I seem to remember that he’d complained about the original Scott Alexander thread and managed to get it removed by calling Garlick.

I stumbled across this enigma of chap through another thread.

The mind boggles. He's intriguing for all the wrong reasons, and if you ever need to explain to anyone why they should never take steroids, then he's the perfect example. Very sad really.

The videos on YouTube are hilarious though! A failed baller.

Bear in mind that I'm no fan, what do you mean by a failed baller? I thought the point of a baller is that they can enjoy a life of luxury and not worry about money, plus everyone knows they're splashing the cash with impunity, rather than being "old money".

I simply don't understand his delusion about his AI fitness app

it looks terribly dated already, he's been 'working' on it for years now and it's nowhere to be seen

what is he actually doing in his mayfair office

Hence the 'failed' part.

Ooooh, he's got an LLB (Hons) now too. Is that like an -ology?

I don't understand how their business has £1m of shareholders funds and a total of £1.3m of assets - scott isn't listed as a director either btw

what exactly are they doing there? it's been 4 years and still doesn't have a usable app?

This guy is hilarious..... from a LI post;

'They said I wouldn’t do it . So I went ahead and did it …

t’s been a long and challenging journey … but I know we will end up winning …

Having no previous background in software development, design / animation or algorithmic engineering , I was told our goal of developing the worlds most advanced health and fitness software platform was impossible, but they didnt factor my 130 hr work weeks , 1 holiday in 9 years and my refusal to accept anything but excellence in every element of our apps ….

I will soon let the world judge if I made the impossible, possible.'

my response would be: fine, lets see how the app does! it's been in development for years and the people will judge it themselves.

on the face of it it looks very dated and tacy though

I had never noticed it before, and apologies if it’s already mentioned in this thread, but the similarities between Scott Alexander and Andrew Tate are striking!

Just watched some of the videos of the AI Fitness App being used.

The only thing that could make doing an FTP test worse, would be having to listen to Scott Alexander's voice during the FTP test.
