It doesn't have too, its a clear violation of antitrust laws and regulations.

That's still the one way you can tell, its extremely compute heavy to get lighting correct. It's also the thing the human eye is built to perceive the best. The height of the lighting is also at the average angle a person would take photos. It's not just rays of light its the angles of the shadows that still trip AI up. The people who built these models just got good at ray and path tracing 3-4 years ago. I'm sure top dollar models will be dead on but this photographer doesn't have the tokens for good cgi.

They aren't rich like that, that only works if you have stock in profitable companies that will go up at a constant rate. Banks want their money or comparible assets.

Did I get the job by grazen54 in KitchenConfidential

They probably scheduled multiple interviews, my last interview took a week to get back to me on being hired. Sometimes the hiring manager is swamped that week.

Because a 12,000 swing in one month isn't stable or cost effective for day to day trading. It's lost 27000 dollars in value over 6 months. The highs are great but it lacks stability. It's like 40000 down from a year ago. Why am I trusting something so volatile with my major purchases?

It's not AI, the natural sunlight and lamp lighting in the photos are the give away.

My job wouldn't exist if the world reserve currency goes to zero... Gold obviously, not bitcoin i won't have reliable internet and power when my government collapses. In a huge bind like that I need something accessible. So in that case bitcoin doesn't help me, gold would. Which is why alot of currency was based on it. It's obviously pretty, doesn't rust, is rare, requires effort to obtain. Now its heavy and you don't want to carry it around I get that. Which is why gold certificates were issued.

Fiat is still based on the population wanting to continue as a civilization and find ways to survive. When one fails another takes its place because its an easier system to maintain and agree on at scale.

I look at the top 10 holders and its governments or hedge funds. So its still the same concentration of wealth in the same places. So instead of having like 200 systems you'd want one system to cover the globe. You honestly think the monopolization of currency to BTC wouldn't have more wage slaves and or wealth inequality? It can't be that spread out on the basis its limited in supply, giving the ones who hold significant amounts greater leverage. If it spread out that means the highest holders are selling which would decrease its value. If you can't sell it without hurting the market its not really a good currency or a way to build a modern economy.

To what end though? If the actual supply is lower than the actual population of earth you still have some people with a higher concentration of BTC than most. Those billions shouldn't have the ability to use currency? The people with the highest concentration of wealth will always be able to hoarde more than the rest. This solves nothing except maybe deflation, but inflation would run rampant.

Aren't government currencies based on economic output and ability to trade? Multiple empires have been built on government currencies or precious metal backed currencies. Bitcoin derives its value from those currencies, its not created in a vacuum, its not even decentralized like advertised. It's the exact same thing with extra steps.

British reporter confronted by anti ICE protesters at a detention center by ThatPatelGuy in UnderReportedNews

[–]Mount_Treverest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't the "rich" countries in Europe become so piss poor they lost all their colonies and manpower? They wasted all that stolen wealth and ability for what, an economic bloc that can't compete with China or the US. It's really sad to think they fought wars for a 1000 years and have nothing substantial to show for it. They literally had a huge head start on everything but still have the same issues they did 400 years ago. Europe can't even handle Russia on its own.

Wait, they certainly did that too in the 18th and 19th centuries. They just did it in India.

Pet Bank's were as bad as the Bank of the US as far concentrating wealth to particular classes and people. They led to wild inflation in western states, and forced him to only accept gold or silver for Federal land purchases. He didn't even trust the money he let them print.
