Try underwater. 3D is fun.
the duration of the first few tests was not representative
Because they're ran parallelized, heaviest first.
The first thing it did when I clicked on "taskee" was try to get my location. That was the end of this relation, 1 click in. lol
The guy in the vid asks the LLM "did I give you permission to delete all the files in my D drive?"
Dude... what kind of retarded reaction is that? LLM now goes to prison? lmao
Is this a consequence of the way the control of information is an asymmetric battle (cheap to spread/copy, expensive to delete/hide)?
Maybe, but that's not why I think that.
Freedom is the default state - the one we are born with. Thus, the only freedoms we don't have 1 are the ones that others take from us. Because there is no monogovernment 2 covering everyone on the internet, there is a plurality of different freedoms taken. But because the internet connects everyone with everyone, these freedoms 3 become extremely visible, especially when you are confronted with a freedom someone else has but you don't.
This influence, although it may lead to resistance, such as the DSA, ought to ultimately bring a reversal to the mean, and in the case of freedom that means less obstruction to freedom, not more, because we're born free. Especially in democracies, where the feelings of the public do make a difference. I don't think that ultimately we'll all be fully free, because I think the majority is too weak for that, but freedoms can and will be won eventually.
One of the reasons why freedom of speech is not as much appreciated in the EU is because it's always the nazis that pursue it the loudest. As Nazis literally gassed people in Europe, there is virtue in not caring about their freedom of speech. But, the reaction to the whole woke/PC way of forcing new societal rules (and thus less freedom) upon people, and to the Covid stuff of course, is shifting this allergy to restrictions on freedom of speech to a much larger group of people; time will tell if it's enough, or that more misery is needed for Europe to be truly shaken back into reality. I fear the latter but I hope not.
Feels like the internet got built without statists and people in charge fully comprehending the implications of a many-pathed web over which information can flow.
The internet - at least by the time I got involved in the 80s - was built because of the shared belief that with free flow of information we all become more knowledgable, and with that, more powerful 4. For me personally, this has probably been true, though I don't know what I would have been without the internet. However, when I upgraded from library to internet, everything became possible. Before that, knowledge was tedious.
Almost as if they took their control of information for granted. Bitcoiners are hoping something similar happens with money: the system gets built before the people in charge realize how fundamentally it shifts the game.
Absolutely. The internet wasn't regulated in the beginning and governments have probably been the least embracing of it, even for their own services, because it is contra to everything government stands for: it erodes their power when things are simple and easy. Now, they're fighting back. We should pay close attention to this because if we think they're fighting Bitcoin now... we're delusional.
Yet there are still jurisdictions like N Korea -- which either imply that a state can still effectively control the flow of information or that I'm being more duped than I thought.
That's just the narrative. Like the WEF, that's a narrative too. Covid should be a good example of how you too got controlled though. It just didn't last and neither will it in NK.

I won't disagree with that assessment. But if you don't give a shit and you have a money printer, then there is no compelling reason not to. Especially if you can on the side shitcoin your way to your own riches. Just launch a memecoin bruh.
First, the feds will print trillions upon trillions to build AI datacenters. Then, they will print quadrillions upon quadrillions to convert these useless spaces into facilities operating close to absolute 0. Then, they steal all the bitcoin and earn back all the printing.
They're just trying to apply ancient laws to the digital age. Whenever you've had thoughts outside the norm in Europe, especially post WWII Europe, you better keep them to yourself.
This policy will fail either way though: either they'll succeed in enforcing it then shtf and the WEF's
totalitarian shamocracy dreams fail, or they fail to enforce it in the first place. The great thing about the internet and "globalism" is that the ultimate norm is the sum of all the freedoms. The awful thing is that these are tradeoffs and there is no jurisdiction where we can have them all right now. The more awful thing is that politicians and corpos everywhere are now actively working to repress the free internet.Either way, fuck them. In case the internet gets turned into the regulator's wet dream, I shall see y'all on the darknet. Or bitchat. Or whatever the kids make up to undermine the digital overseers.
I think there is a paradox here that puts a fly in the ointment of mass adoption: the more money printed, the more life sucks for most people, the less time/resources/energy they have to learn about bitcoin.
This feels a bit like looking up a really steep cliff and thinking there is no end in sight. This is because "mass adoption" is a pretty steep cliff, and probably too steep, from where we are today. So perhaps, a better narrative is required under
bitcoin is:?0.12 NWC integration means that maybe I can test that with the liquidity tail end of my Zeus-SN channel. Awesome.
Interesting that the two products that feel the most sluggish / unable to keep up, CoPilot and Perplexity, are shrinking in MAU according to this.
