What if I'm a billionaire trying to crush the working class and accelerate climate change and political division so the class war doesn't pop off before i can get to my climate bunker?

Or a billionaire fascist who wants to sloppify everyone's brains and increase alienation while annihilating interiority so people will become docile and the class war won't pop off and we get the 1984 timeline?

Or a billionaire asshole who wanted to murder a concept and settled on 'truth'?

Or a really big 'infinite jest' fan?

So "ai" has a lot of use cases. Maybe dont be such a reflexive reactionary fucking Luddite piece of shit about it.

That’s the thing, AI is an exceptional propaganda machine. Blockchain isn’t really exceptional at anything - it’s just a reinvention of the wheel.

Blockchain is good if you want everyone to know who you send your money to.

Which sounds stupid, but if we used it more for things that aren't stupid money, perhaps we could find something where transparency and permanent immutable logs are a good thing. For currency those may even be bad things because privacy. Which Monero solves and that's actually another useful thing - ability to make untraceable payments remotely. Used to have to use cash for that.

Bitcoin would be fantastic to force businesses to be taxed under a clear ledger.

Snap, Atomic, whatever...

Well yeah, but as a private citizen, I don't want MY spending transparent to everyone like that

Now businesses? Yeah would be nice

No, I get it. You can see where I'm from here.
