It's more like a Djin from the stories of lamps and poor Arabian beggars. You may think you are asking it for one thing, but if you aren't very careful with your words it will quite possibly give you something very different.
Bravo for this one. That's exactly the right comparison. Although at least the Djinn in the stories were self-aware.
I’ve noticed a diminishing ability to code without AI since I started using Claude.
Think of this as if you'd said, "I've noticed a diminishing ability to lift weights since I started [applying an exoskeleton to my bicep to lift for me]."
Lightning can offer a magnificent level of privacy. This doesn't seem to be common knowledge within the Bitcoin ecosystem right now and frankly I think we might be better off letting people discover this organically than publicizing it, lest we attract unwanted attention.
The head of the SEC cited this Manifesto with explicit approval at last year's summit.

Yea, I love blowing people's minds with this tidbit. It's true though, see here: https://www.sec.gov/newsroom/speeches-statements/peirce-remarks-blockchain-conference-080425
p.s. My personal opinion is that the world is insane and schizophrenic, so mixed signals are the name of the game.
I had this thought myself.
Think if he were alive right this second: what would he have to say about the current round of retardation?
Undoubtedly, unquestionably, indisputably one of the most gorgeous states in America. I won't live there, but damn if I don't enjoy my drives through Utah.
This is an idiotic war, but I must say, I fully agree with Mises institute on how it exposes the "farce of American representative democracy." The public's disapproval and disinterest simply has no influence whatsoever on the course of events. Government today is a thing that happens to Americans, rather than something Americans do.

I'm not vibe coding anything, but I think about this with respect to writing: people are able to increase their output with more words, more research, more details, more arguments, and more ideas. So there's lots more writing out there now.
But this doesn't mean there's much more thinking.

It's the volume of noise, or better said, spam that's increasing. It's becoming harder to zero in on substance, like what you yourself just provided here by identifying this.
For myself, I am not increasing the pace of anything whatsoever, nor am I following along the brand new bandwagon. I am, if anything, twice as protective of my time and attention now in 2026 as I was in 2025.
p.s. Automobile RPMs have a red zone for a reason.

No?
Then why in the hell would you give it to an LLM? Anyone who does this is a full fledged moron.
They're not going to stop. DC and guys like him are the voices of Bitcoin Future. They are correct, even if we think they're rude (they don't care), impractical (maybe) and whatever. They're "sovereign" and therefore don't give a fuck what you or I think — they won't even give a fuck about this message I'm writing right now.
What's the core message they're projecting? It's not even about Bitcoin, it's about sovereignty: what best protects it and advances it, for themselves and for others.
Unironically, the biggest lesson you can take from them, likewise, is to be sovereign and not give a fuck what they think. But even if you ignore them, you should (not 'have to,' but should) value them. Objectively, it's not okay to compromise, even when you feel you need to compromise. Think of it like Bitcoin's conscience nibbling at your heels.
They didn't even do us the courtesy of a propaganda campaign this time 😔
In all seriousness, this has been a major problem for long time, but I was still impressed how there wasn't even the slightest interest in discussing, nevermind courting, public opinion on this one.
It's fairly trivial to start poisoning public data sets about you. You could start right now just by googling things you have no interest in whatsoever.
Yes, absolutely. I've been encouraging anyone and everyone involved in LLM hype to just spend some time learning how the sausage is made. Just a little bit is enough to see they're not and can't be conscious.
You'll learn their obvious limitations, and hence their actual uses. So you'll use the LLM adequately.... which means you certainly won't "Ask the AI for its opinion about your recent argument with your wife" because you'll know it has no opinion—it doesn't think shit about fuck.
Guys, we are being ECONOMICALLY DESTROYED OUT THERE!
Hang on let me fix me Stacker News ticker....
much better. Gm! ☕️
I wouldn't say people have to use it that way. A lot of daily transactions, by people actually living on a Bitcoin Standard, are very appropriately done with Lightning. That's correct and as it should be.
There are, however, many, many alleged Bitcoiners who aren't on a Bitcoin Standard at all, in any regard, whatsoever. The most they do (and even this is being charitable) is exchange their BTC for Fiat cards, which directly strengthens fiat's network and weakens this one.
It's less an issue with the Hodl culture itself. Everyone does actually have the tools to adopt a Bitcoin Standard, here and now, but many lack the balls to just do it—and it's really a very easy thing to do.
You don't even really need balls because it's as simple as switching from Argentine Pesos to USD (it's much simpler than that).
Regardless of how long it takes to notice, it's an act of deception and shouldn't be done; and it should incur permanent reputational damage on the person who does it without disclosing it.
Disclosing that it's a bot is one thing. Using a bot to pass for a a human and make (literally) thought-less posts for someone like Scoresby to waste thinking time reading and responding to is obviously extremely rude.
