Kindness is Punk

Listen, as a 6-year prompt engineer I know exactly how to manipulate the AI to give me… well you know not great results… yet but it will be one day and then I’ll know how to say the archaic words cuz I will have already practiced, see it makes sense!

Live by your mistakes, be honest about them how else are you supposed to get better.

Breaking news man who was caught lying every 6 minutes during a 4-year period continues to lie.

I did cross check some articles on Google scholar that seemed to line up with the results but I only had 15 minutes so take that for what you will

It really depends on how much heat is actually making it to the alcohol, which relies on a lot of factors but you’re right fresh short cooking applications most of the alcoholic usually remains.

Yeah only the president of the United States is allowed to do that

Björk.

Ford seems to be taking from Tesla’s design language and trying to mix it with their own and the results are really fucking ugly

Yeah I found that strange too most of my gaming PCs have lasted me somewhere between 7 and 10 years. Would seem completely unnecessary for most people

Jesus you’re pedantic, and incorrect. Bitcoin is stateless, that is not what I described.

Gaddafi got killed not because of a digital currency, but because he tried to sell oil for gold instead of dollars. That’s a different fight one about reserve currency status, not payment rail infrastructure. Let’s not confuse the two.

But you’re right about the core problem: any state that seriously threatens capital’s control over money will be destroyed or sanctioned. So what do we do? Wait for global socialism? That’s not happening this decade.

Don’t aim for the whole currency. Aim for the rails first.

A digital euro as currently proposed is trash, full surveillance, no anonymity, state as Visa 2.0. But a different digital currency, one with mandatory judicial oversight for freezes, low-value anonymity, and multiple non-corporate validators is not “lipstick on a pig.” It’s a fire escape.

Your “burning house” analogy works against you. If the house is on fire, you don’t say “no point installing a fire escape until we rebuild the whole house.” You install the fire escape now to save the people inside, then rebuild.

Bitcoin failed because it had no state backing, no insurance, no physical anchor, and no judicial oversight. I’m describing the opposite. Don’t throw out surgery because leeches didn’t work.

You did it again, by this logic there’s not point improving anything until we fix the universe

You’re conflating two separate things: currency infrastructure vs. the economic system it runs under.

All the problems you’re describing are problems of capitalism, not problems of digital currency.

The point is: right now, Visa and Mastercard are an unelected, profit-driven gatekeeper. Replacing them with a state-backed, insured, physically-backed digital currency isn’t “crypto” it’s just removing a parasitic middleman.

Same money. Same banks. Same insurance. Just no corporate toll booth.

Will capitalists try to capture it? Absolutely. So build it with guardrails. But “they might capture it later” isn’t an argument against building it better than what we have today. Otherwise you can’t support anything short of revolution.

But what I propose wasn’t fascism at all, saying there should be sovereign currency is a separate point for how it’s governed

Regardless of what power structure we have in the future the need for that currency to be accessible to all and free from corporate interests is paramount

Yeah and I’m sure Visa and MasterCard will be very accommodating

This is more about a country not being beholden to corporate interests for their laws

We desperately need sovereign digital currency like the digital euro project

I really hope Canada follows suit, after Microsoft pulled that shit with the international criminal court they clearly cannot be trusted.

I’d agree that it’s all a tool and it’s in how you use it, look at Reddit vs Piefed but just like this example it really feels like we’re losing the numbers game. I’d attribute that to friction of use.

Bloatware, in my Google Chrome!?

What scares me about AI (in this case more LLMs) is not necessarily how they’re weaponized today but how they centralize power structures.

People are gradually becoming accustomed to their corporate flavor of LLM as their single source of truth. That is tremendously centralizing force for control.
