That's an economic problem to be solved just like the printing press and the industrial revolution. Like I said, we've been in a BS economy for a while now.
This is not true. Google LLMs / multi-modals fully support attribution and as explainability goes up, so will attribution. And it will be much more fair / accurate than the droves of human artists who intentionally omit…
To be fair, this is no different than what's done by a human artist. Virtually every song composed today is inspired by or based on, in some manner or other, a previous work of art. This is exactly what machine learning…
I believe it goes something like "sometimes you win, sometimes you learn". The ends are important, but they do not justify the means. In this case, if the means are you did your best at the time with what you knew at…
I'm honestly shocked most sensible EU countries don't simply DNS block Meta at this point.
I realize this is in jest, but to point out the obvious, ML (AI is such a bullshit term. ANI/AGI/ASI, etc) models are trained on human written text. With ANI or AGI, this rapidly devolves into a chicken or the egg…
It is very rare for someone to have a sound argument from first principles as to why inequality is worse than equality for society as a whole. The majority don't get past "well, it's wrong because people kept saying so…
RE: personally stored keys are less secure ...this is very subjective. You don't "hand" your wallet keys to an exchange: you don't even have them. Meaning "your" CC is a lot like "your" USD in a bank: subject to taxes,…
If you have assets in any* exchange, get them out now. Using regulated exchanges defeats the whole point. Fiat transaction fees are lower / nonexistent compared to CC ones so if you want to gamble on the relative value…
Technically, Jerome Powell did. Currency valuation is complex because it is relative so the lens of perspective becomes everything. The primary nuance in your example is that currency devaluation through inflation is…
You're describing post-1971 USD. It's getting difficult to tell which currency is the bigger scam at this point.
While that may be the sentiment, very few countries have the scale required to afford the luxury of acting on such a perspective.
Famous last words in a global economy, alongside "tax businesses and the elite". All three are a very delicate balancing act on the global scope of things, between letting the private sector run rampant or rapidly…
Entropy: "to describe energy loss in irreversible processes". We have no clue about what is or is not reversible. Complex systems exhibit self-organizing behavior for no reason (that we understand), and we continue to…
In the financial world, centralized decisions followed by decentralized responsibility is extremely common. If you are international and operate between 3-5 countries that don't necessarily like each other at all times…
SC2 is by far the hardest (in terms of time investment & deliberate practice) to achieve. The amount of practice required to not get demolished by 16-19 year olds in a PC cafe in Seoul was ...yikes. Games like CSGO/OW,…
It's not a step backwards, it's a tradeoff. Crypto is a tool, just like a bank is a tool. It has different pros, it has different cons. Personally I greatly enjoy sending any amount to any country without the…
I often wonder how many decades of progress political correctness (different from ethics) has cost us when it comes to science (when it's sound, provable, and replicable).
This is basically a slam piece. Yes, our Teslas and our friends were not accessible via the app for a while, and it raised some eyebrows - but unlocking via Bluetooth during this outage was not an issue for anyone I…
Preventing money laundering, drug trading, etc etc is part of what our taxes pay for - a safe and secure society for us and our kids. To your point, do you think that's being done competently in tradfi, given every…
Most people don't enjoy having to jump through a dozen hoops to send 5-8 digits of fiat between countries with a massive delay, possibility of "your" funds being held for almost any duration due to any number of…
Times like these make it critical to discern between those of a certain gender vs those without talent (or discipline, or perhaps both). This is difficult to do without unfairly discounting the cases where people with…

On the contrary, I’d argue that most “life” (in the sense of our Eucledian definition of it) relies on exceeding the capabilities of its substrates via emergent properties - at least from the perspective of our current…
There are those with power who reap it, those with power who are granted it, and those without it. That's just how it is, and if you disagree there is a much better way to go about that than putting your words into my…
