prepare for war, western man!

So happy humans will be able to stop using their brains soon due to AI !

A little sugar is fine. Alot of it kills you.

Maybe this is propaganda and you are being told what to think.

Of course AI isn’t going to be a good thing for the majority of humans at all. But it’s very important to manage sentiment within tech audiences.

Do we need it

Why are they like this?

Why dont they stop the nuclear posturing and just get on with reindustrializing

Precision targeting should or could yield less but what’s happened is more like what you do to a windows 98 machine every year or two

Which is not the same as avoiding collateral damage.

We are all sleepwalking into a terminator scenario or dangerous surveillance state at least. Not just Israel. This kind of tech is eventually turned inwards.

Once you figure out what your issues are, you might however find yourself going to therapists with the questions “what are we to do or what am I to do about it?” And finding they have no answer. Just, “yea it’s a process…”

Believing that misallocation of capital means that we are living in a post scarcity society is a very techno optimist way of looking at things.

HN is unbelievably apolitical, apart from it's baseline tendency towards the left and whatever silicon valley demands people believe.

If you were anywhere near a post scarcity society (applies to USA) you wouldn't be hurtling towards national sovereign debt default at a rate of knots, and you wouldn't have the most expensive healthcare in the world.

As it happens, what appears to be a "post scarcity society" is just pathological misallocation of capital due to a political failure (that shaln't be spoken of here) that has the entire west circling the bowl at the moment.

Sure. Millions of people in the third world use crypto for payments. There's also Polymarket, very much recognized within the mainstream. And generally, crypto will continue to spawn new digital infrastructures in a sovereign space.

Either way it’s headed off the rails. Sloppification of everything, followed by eventual machine takeover.

I feel this way about AI. Oh wait, AI is actually an existential risk to humanity, also.

There’s still room for it to become an inflation hedge, we still havnt really seen much in terms of USD inflation and people scrambling for the exit.

OTOH, government crackdowns might be able to tank the price.

If you are sure of this then congrats, you’ve spotted a pattern in the market that you can exploit and get rich off.

Seems unlikely tho for this reason.

First comment of any bitcoin thread on HN is always something like this, generally negative and a bit grumpy.

Massive thanks for this! I’m already using my own version of analytical antialiasing but there were some bits I couldn’t get quite right so this is perfect!

http://beastie.fi. App links in the menu. It’s likely not what you’re expecting.

I’ve built a social network that has an influencer -> audience model in order to not rely on advertiser revenue. Im trying to figure out the getting users but now.

I’d suggest that the answer is not how to attract celebrities but in the first instance how to attract any users. My platform is novel and interesting and even then it’s not easy.

The ol’ post WW2 order looking shakier by the day…

Can’t wait to try this.

Lot of fun looking at an old battle worn codebase like this.

This is awesome. I love it. I love you. Omg

Im not disagreeing, but how do you figure that it’s obvious and in 1950 or 1800 it would have been different?

Have to see if they actually do it. Saying it means very little, it’s not a controversial position.

The spy lord is Tony Blair

Given that it dropped serenity as a target, it does seem there is something more to this story…

Hi I’d like to try plugging into Tribbler as a content backend for beastie.fi, which seems to have similar goals.
