Outside of a few small local businesses that actually care about doing right by people, loyalty hasn’t mattered for decades dude. Companies don’t give a shit about any of us. Why even bother thinking in terms of loyalty, it’s completely misaligned with how they operate.

Are there modded clients for mobile?

The more people get into it the less valuable it becomes is the thing. But others pointed out there’s a ton of other reasons it’s problematic, like the need for those other jobs to exist to actually, like, have a functioning society.

My high school never had math competitions so I’ll never know how I’d do. :(

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence

Is the AI open source? Curious what you’re using and what your experiences with it are.

You’ll call a Phillips a Phillips but not a Robertson a Robertson or an Allen an Allen, smh

And trying to get by on a single income is a fucking nightmare for a lot of people.

In-spite of its potential for liberation and independence.

When it shows that potential, maybe more people will get on board. Until then there are a host of problems that make a ton of people not want to touch it including but not limited to:

• a) Capitalists and scammy chucklefucks are already exploiting it the way they do with traditional currencies, except in sometimes new creative ways because of either the lack of regulations or because the technology inherently makes it impossible to trace. I don’t see that changing in a fully crypto world either, because people are always going to need financial services like loans and insurance on their savings and the banks will always have the imbalance of power.

• b) The currencies mostly benefit people with a ton of capital to handle consensus, which further entrenches the power imbalance found in (a).

• c) Insane amounts of resources are needed to reach consensus in a way that is not good at all for the environment. Sure we already use a lot of power to make our society run. But crypto is asking for more ON TOP of that, compounding the issues.

• d) Relying solely on crypto leaves people destitute if their wallets got hacked.

• e) Chucklefucks are using the technology to commodify and break the best part of the digital world which is the ability to have bit for bit reproducible copies of information.

Fix all of that and you surely would get people on board but I have yet to hear compelling solutions by cryptobros.

True but sometimes the tortilla rips open and the foil provides solid backup

It’s simultaneously possible to realize that something is useful while also recognizing the damage that its trend is causing from a sustainability standpoint, and that neither realization particularly demonstrates a lack of understanding about AI.
