Yeah OK I was wondering about this. If you were on a non segwit node, all segwit blocks are consensus so there's no chain split What prevented miners who didn't want segwit from forking? Just most users being segwit?
If ai isn't doing 1 then everything else is moot 2 ai might concentrate wealth but there's evidence to the contrary as well. Chinese models are generally 6-9 months behind and are open Capex is high and one of the major limiting factors is energy. Energy is pretty well distributed Llm providers as they are have no moat. Anthropic is always trying to get regulatory capture to build one.
Nope it was path dependent luck, not enough people thought it would be important or a threat. it could have been killer but it got big enough. World already knows different.
Right but if you're looking at the society level then the current system of using a 4 year college as certification is completely asinine
Certification could be done much more effectively as testing (over time is fine but again why does itbtake 4 years)
And if you're looking for standardized minimum competency the brand names like Harvard and oxford are way too overbought
A good professor can absolutely help. What I disagree with is the current model. If you have a great professor in 1 school then it should be accessible to a much larger audience than the 200 students in that current class. The social status of education and the filtering needs is partly why its not widely available.
If you change the incentives then tech could drastically lower education prices
