I'm skeptical that LLMs make it easier to be a project manager, but I suppose time will tell.

Would you therefore argue that spell check ultimately took away editing jobs?

Ok, finally found it. This is the 4o model.

I'm not great at reading 13Fs, but doesn't this show a 63M buy of Grayscale as well?

Great fugue. Love the term exoself, and I think it's not new with modern technology but there are new manifestations of the exoself coming all the time. Also I love the instinct to pause and reflect (to the extent we can) about what kind of people we become when we let technologies into our lives.

Two thoughts come to mind with this: the US has a big tech bubble going, and Germany is the leading indicator of deglobalization.

You don't name names, but nice rant. It's okay to kill your heroes when they don't serve you anymore. We're all people who get it wrong sometimes. It sounds like you are thinking for yourself, and have your ideals, which I applaud.

Ok, so if the goal is to become a routing node, the idea of low or negative routing fees is advertising perhaps. Become a known, reliable node and eventually turn on fees to recoup the cost. I would love to follow your experiment with data as you have it.

Memento Mori. I read this like a stoic meditation.

@C_Otto Can you elaborate (or point me to other resources) where you state your goals or philosophy with these policies?

I like slop as a term too. Your example sounds like the "SEO optimized" ad encampments that dominate a lot of basic queries.

To what degree is this an inflation chart?

Using global warming concerns, implement a carbon tax for holding bitcoin. Set a percentage of the dollar value of bitcoin as an "offset" and effectively squash any public holdings being profitable.

SummoningSalt is great at story telling around speed runs.

How much growth is needed to reach the point of sustainability?

This reminds me of prize linked savings accounts. The idea is that saving and earning an interest rate is boring. (Especially so now, given that rates on savings accounts are so low.). But if you give a person the interest as variable "prizes" over time, they will basically be tricked or "nudged" into saving money.

I guess this is the same concept applied to bonds?
