I've noticed that independently. Used to think LLMs would at least be good at calculations, but they hallucinate while number crunching too 🤷

How's your brand narrative, marketing, & copywriting going? ✍️

Are you encountering a lot of resistance to adoption at the street level? All the 2022 CeFi crashes (Celsius, Voyager, etc) seem to have terrified people, and now that we're (apparently) back in a bear market, I expect it'll worsen—but maybe your experience is different?

I am so done with AGI and AI superstitions. It's just beyond insanity at this point.

That's cool that OpenAI's word calculator—this is a perfectly fine label for what it does—finally applies (not 'learn') your formatting instructions. I'm sure that will make it more efficient at its future word calculating.

Congratulations to OpenAI for their big win 👏

We're at the stage of capitalism where the plebs forget that central banking is a socialist, not capitalist, institution: it's the fifth principle of the Communist Manifesto, "Centralisation of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with State capital and an exclusive monopoly."

Capitalism would be an improvement over all these wizards and alchemy games they're playing in D.C.

"Syphon Filter"—now there's a name I haven't heard in a while.

I'm partial to the old WRPGs I'll never play again. Partial enough that I enjoy replaying them vicariously by listening to their soundtracks. 🎵

See the fiat price right now? It's slipping down close to $95k again. If last week or last month you suggested a normie to keep his Bitcoin, he'd be giving you shit today.

You're not their nanny or friend. Suggest it once at most. After that, not your business what they do with it.

I'm just saying—if you measure in sats, beef is way cheaper than it was in 2023.

Darth, I'm a month behind on my SN backread, but I just caught this and—there are no words. It's inspiration for all the guys here to get their collective asses together.

Amazing work, truly.

Welcome! About the payments, take Darth's advice. But I'll add a reminder to make an update post next year, once you've blocked all your normie social media sites and use Nostr only, full time.

"But Atreus, you'll miss out on so much important discussion if you're not checking Twitter..."

🤚 False. You miss out on trash; the truly important things get relayed to us on Nostr either way.

Industrial cable management. Never thought I'd see it!

People also can seldom eyeball counterfeit Rolexes.

The art world has been wrecked by counterfeiting scandals, ala: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/16/think-you-can-spot-a-fraud-this-80-million-art-scam-fooled-experts.html

—And notice they play the same smug, "Betcha can't tell the difference 🤡" game.

All this, IMHO, will turn into a real Ludwig Mises-esque teaching moment; people will have to really ask themselves what they truly 'value' when they look for value.

(It's actually not sheer aesthetic quality)

I don't have anything to add, other than to thank you for posting a thread that shows some real thinking.

(This is not something we can take for granted in the 2025 internet)

I thought he presented it through the usual process and it fooled people into accepting it. Nah, he literally snuck it in and hung it unauthorized a few hours before someone noticed.

Funny, but also a nothingburger!

I like Christians because they understand Bitcoin, while very good indeed, does not quite fix everything.

Oh that's alright K00b, I'm sure I have a backup of my old avatar around here somewhere...

I remember "Overpopulation" scaring the tar out of me in 7th Grade when I first heard about Thomas Malthus. It's one of those ideas that makes complete sense at surface level (perfect for the 13-year-old mind), but unravels in the details. I eventually outgrew that paranoia, and now I'd say human energy is our most valued "resource." We need more, not less, and we have space for them to spare.

Which begs the question: Do overpopulationists think like 13-year-olds? 🤔
