Technically it's only 48K taxes strictly on the 85K income.

The other 7K come from the other taxes. Mostly VAT.

But I'm afraid it is right.

My thought is I'm seeing a guy who makes money selling AI as a service insisting on how AI as a service is going to be massive and inevitable.

I think looking at a baby laugh is proof enough that human brains and LLMs are two different things.

If you haven't watched it, you might enjoy this movie. Came to mind with your reference the brain's soul.

Good call.

Lyn making a wrong move is quite a sight. I think it's the first time I see that.

I remember having tea with a Turkish man and having him tell me with a straight face: "I'm not having any children with this inflation and economy. I just won't."

That cuts deep.

@k00b, I don't know if you are a polymath, but your content consumption surely looks like one's.

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @pillar OP 23 Feb \ parent \ on: Nostr is not a web of trust. Right? bitcoin

I think it could the foundation of very, very interesting stuff.
