Well, if you replace your workers with AI, you also replace your customers and thereby go out of business. So, it's just as detrimental for corporations to do as the worker.

HOWEVER, if the efficiency matches a low cost. The price of everything falls dramatically. Now you need 1/5th of the money to live buying the same consumer goods.

Regardless, you need a healthy foundation to find efficiency within, (which the world is not built on). So, very likely the efficiency will funnel into systems that don't work.

Maybe I'm a dumb but embedded nodes seem like a better strategy for IRL payments.

The way I always thought about it:

Embedded phone node funded with my at home recieve node (for nostr). Now I have "always on" inbound liquidity and a phone node that has outbound ready to spenny.

I guess I would question what those "generic yardsticks" come from. It is axiomatic and not true Prima Fascia that things must be fair or apply equally or sound good when not affecting me.

You don't treat murderers the same as theives. Life in general is not fair. And sounding good is not the basis of spiritual morality.

The institution of church and church as described by Jesus are two different things.

But I am all about working with moral people to better the world.

Humans have the ability to tell right from wrong, and we all inherently have the ability to come up with yardsticks, like a rule of thumb for evaluating a religion's claim. Believing that the ability to know right from wrong, moral from immoral, good vs evil needs to "come from" somewhere authorita...

I think if most people in the US are honest, the first exposure they have to spiritual morality is church of some kind either going, meeting people who proselytize, or as I now interpret the church IS the people who believe in God and talk about redemption through Christ.

A lot of what people take for granted about morality actually comes from the Bible. Blackstones formulation comes from Sodom and Gamorrah. Which is the foundation of th "innocent until proven guilty" axoim.

Interesting point of view... The Church's teachings (I am assuming you mean Christianity) are not extensively moral when you measure them by generic yardsticks: - Does it apply equally - Is it just or at least fair - Sounds good only as long as it doesn't affect me? - Etc. It gets worse if you ad...
