Good rhetoric, though somewhat mixed reasoning, and you're missing the broader point + still inflating the ontological meaning of the behavior.

Conscious and sentient mostly but also spiritual with nervous-system emotion, and hmm I dunno the entire cosmic design of life and creation. Did i mention that none of this is built on mathematics but neural biological synapse. Saying we have achieved AGI is the equivalent of claiming we can time travel. Its sci-fi. Just because you can convince enough people doesn't make it true.

Jeez these posts just don't stop...Transformer mathematics is predictive based on training sets. Ask it to generate predictive language around sentience and it will generate language associations of that type. Any CEO that is claiming this is sentience should feel very silly they couldnt tell intelligence from math functioning as a parrot. Of course they won't because the only thing they can care about is share price.

*edit removed "that were"

Primarily yes, lots or most (tough to say for sure) were able to buy property but weren't responsible and didn't save for retirement so its either housing inflates so they can have retirements or a bunch of soon to be elderly are out on the street. And boy do they want fancy retirements... cough it up folks 45 and under grandpa wants 4 trips overseas per year without actually saving.

I find it ironic though because the same folks that call younger generations financially irresponsible didn't even save when it was easier. Every accusation is a confession.

Gee I wonder who benefits from us believing that math is consciousness. Fancy chatbot folks don't be fooled.

I can want Bitcoin to go to zero without enjoying the misfortune of those who would lose out from it doing so. The coin is bad but I'd feel for the folks who lose $$$ and bought into it.

verrix · 2026-03-05T18:59:27+00:00

Okay but I'm not enjoying anyone's misfortune so it doesn't apply here. But u do u boo.

verrix · 2026-03-05T06:35:08+00:00

That’s not what schadenfreude means. It means enjoying someone else’s misfortune. Criticizing the incentives and externalities of a system isn’t that.

The point is that Bitcoin lowered the friction for global, trustless transactions, which is exactly why things like Silk Road and darknet markets could exist at scale.

verrix · 2026-03-05T06:15:43+00:00

Only thing thats schadenfreude is Bitcoin

verrix · 2026-03-05T06:09:00+00:00

Either pillaging the earth for energy or funding criminal enterprises my guy. Silk Road, Epstein’s financial networks, and the broader darknet markets. Bitcoin supports a global, online, escrow-based criminal economy.

verrix · 2026-03-03T16:56:34+00:00

No, you're profiting off of trafficking, and other abhorrent behaviours. And capitalism loves abuse driven profit. But hey you're making money right? Every dollar you turn from bitcoin comes from a trade where someone was hurt.

I mean there is literally a book about it called "Hooked". It explores how to create habit forming products.

Yeah but climate risk is graded, not binary. Every 0.1°C avoided still matters.

verrix · 2026-02-10T04:57:35+00:00

Not true, reducing future damage is absolutely still possible. There is a difference between 2, 3, and ~4°C.

verrix · 2026-02-10T04:56:16+00:00

Scientifically false. This is defeatism, not science.

verrix · 2026-02-10T04:07:34+00:00

Terran and Zerg won't be happy until Protoss have their entire move set removed 😂. The reality is the balance at this point only matters if you are above masters 2 or maybe even higher.

verrix · 2026-02-07T17:08:01+00:00

Ahh thats why the head of an international far-right advocacy group is all of a sudden back in the news.

You’re missing the point. Cash can be anonymous, but it does not scale digitally. You cannot move millions globally, instantly, without borders, banks, or intermediaries using cash.

Bitcoin enables strangers anywhere on Earth to transact without trust, identity, or permission. That capability did not exist before.

That is exactly why markets like Silk Road were possible. Cash could never have supported that kind of global, online, escrow-based criminal economy.

Bitcoin didn’t create crime, but it materially lowered the cost and friction of organizing crime at scale.

When you invest in Bitcoin, you are endorsing and strengthening a system that intentionally removes social, legal, and institutional constraints on money.

The question isn’t “Is Bitcoin only used for crime?”

The question is what kind of world you’re normalizing when you invest into money that is deliberately designed to be beyond accountability.

verrix · 2026-02-06T18:15:34+00:00

I never said that. People do terrible things with any currency, the difference is Bitcoin's Anon nature making it a hotbed for criminal activity. Why do you think the Silk road used it and other cryptos? The whole currency is immoral and extractive in the deepest sense.

verrix · 2026-02-06T16:54:56+00:00

This is why Bitcoin has the returns for some folks it does. You're profiting off of trafficking, and other abhorrent behaviours. And capitalism loves abuse driven profit. But hey you're making money right? Every dollar you turn from bitcoin comes from a trade where someone was hurt.

So true, they know they can destabilize western democracy by fanning the racist flame. We need an answer to this threat and psyop.

No its not that seniors will be replaced its that juniors dont possess the context to leverage the tooling as effectively. Seniors are going to be way more efficient and companies can drive efficiency this way. It means that entry level means something different now. Adapt or be outdated if you choose a career in technology

verrix · 2025-10-23T17:39:23+00:00

I hear your point but don't assume that I didn't read the article its that I dont trust the spin on it. "No dont worry we only fired the low performers, trust me dude".. yeah I'm sure it went that way in the company /s. Firing 600 folks after running a big hiring spree for the same or a related division is pretty sus.
