Should we also raise the specter of how much energy the ad and news videos on apparently every single website use? They bombard us continually and make it hard to read anything they’re so distracting, but worse, they literally are negatively impacting our climate in real ways.

When “the Matrix” originally came out. I thought: “AI that enslaves humanity just to keep the power running? That’s a stupid plot.” …Doesn’t seem that far fetched anymore.

Yeah, back in days of debugging mainframe apps another programmer said to me - "If you can't find the bug, make the problem bigger." I promptly crashed the mainframe.

Oh! too, too accurate! I just heard from some reply guy that mining bitcoin is good for poverty-stricken folks in the Global South because it detaches them from the money system, which is what's causing their poverty. Basic economic and political theory has clearly passed them by.... Following you.

This is why I don't buy austerity socialism. We would have more than enough to maintain decent modern living conditions for everyone if we just got rid of dumb bullshit nobody needs (crypto, AI, private jets, imperialist armies, megamansions, golf courses, water features. etc.)

Hear me out tho, instead of moving away from individual SUV’s to move everyone around, we can just power them with giant fire-prone chemical batteries charged with coal-generated power delivered through a newly-built lossy transmission network.

If bitcoin could have just stayed a simple secret currency for criminals and not a point of market speculation, the world would be a better place.
