Twitter has become even more annoying than before by becoming “X, formerly known as Twitter”

Memes have replaced “fine art” as the genuine context based commentary on the state of the world.
Memes are a vastly superior & more thought provoking art form than a banana taped to a canvas or ...
That’s not supposed to provoke thought — just to provoke suckers to pay thousands of dollars to the “artist”
“…in the last days of the Old Empire, humanity lost its drive. Terran civilization had spread across the stars, but grew stagnant. With few ambitions, most people allowed efficient machines to perform everyday tasks for them. Gradually, humans ceased to think, or dream …or truly live.”

Unpopular opinion:
If you have money and a good business idea you should scrap the idea and put all of the money in #bitcoin. At 0.03% adoption nothing beats it.
That’s unpopular for a reason.
Depending on the timeframe it’s perfectly possible to beat Bitcoin returns.
There is no telling exactly how fast Bitcoin adoption will happen. And a business can become cashflow positive in a short time depending on what it is.
Besides there’s self fulfilment and lifestyle to consider. Work for another 10 years or more on a job that makes you unhappy while accumulating Bitcoin or follow your dreams and create value today for yourself and others? I know what I would choose.
Finally, if your idea is for a *Bitcoin business* there’s a chance you’ll beat Bitcoin returns even through full adoption.

Some people are setting the arbitrary goal that other people must, by 2030-2050 be completely “carbon neutral” whatever that means.
I think by 2030 the world will be completely de-decarbonized and nobody will care about those “goals”

When I was a teenager we where the only people in the neighbourhood who owned a computer — actually the only people to ever use one.
One of my neighbours was afraid of going in the room where we kept the computer — it might wake up and attack her with lasers!
People are reacting to AI the same way today.
And politicians and cronies are ready to capitalize on that.

The existential threat isn’t Artificial Intelligence
It’s Natural Stupidity
Ask ChatGPT to write something in reverse character order, or upside down and you’ll see how much “intelligence” ...
Ask ChatGPT to answer a problem that has two levels of recursion and it might work.
Ask it for something that has 10 levels of recursion and it will either produce nonsense or get stuck in an infinite loop until it exhausts the maximum number of characters
It can be anything simple like write code that writes code that writes hello world.
Once you understand the nature of the limitations, it’s funny how stupid the thing actually is.

The problem isn’t that it can’t do that, that would be a huge improvement. It actually produces utter nonsense, like it had a stroke or something.
It can’t abstract anything, only repeat patterns it has seen millions of times.
Yet you can be sure there’ll be people who’ll try to force us to obey those things bc the AI is the “expert”

This post makes me feel like Im 90.
More and more I am coming to suspection that, through various avoidable factors, mankind had fallen into a late-stage industrial era #Malthusian trap of it's own making.
Propelled by industrializatio...
Malthusianism is nonsense.
Most human production has gains of scale.
Maybe fiat inflation has led to lower long-term investment to secure future consumption.
But that has nothing to do with a Malthusian trap.
A sudden, explosive population growth can result in temporary exhaustion of resources and famines.
What we’re seeing is the opposite.
A sudden collapse in productivity.
Reducing the population would only make things worse.
All you need is to stop preventing people from being productive.

Read about Apple shutting down Damus and it inspired me to make an account. Should be an interesting 14 days.
