I can't believe after an hour with AI, I understand nftables/iptables, NAT, conntrack, and IP masquerading on a level I never thought I would. O'Reilly must be shitting their pants over how much better AI is at explaining technology than they are.

Wow, doesnt this sound like a lovely afternoon? What else were you going to do with your precious time that isn't as important as sperging out about shit that has absolutely nothing to do with using bitcoin to buy things, which is its primary purpose. View quoted note →

The apotheosis of Bitcoin self-radicalization is speaking in broad civilizational terms with the assurance of victory over evil, as if it were a covenant from God. It's just software, people. View quoted note →

The one thing that creeps me out about AI is not even about AI -- it's how some people are so desperate to escape lonliness that they will deep LARP a relationship with AI. They will wish it good morning and thank it for its service and have private, personal conversations with it. It makes me wonder how real people like that think I am. It makes me wonder if they are just some sad, impotent variety of psychopath. View quoted note →

What I love most about the BIP-110 drama is how willing people are to stake their reputations on it. There WILL come a time where all the confident saber-rattling will end on one side or another, and the opposite side will happily supply the screenshot and nevent receipts. You typically only get one Bitcoin reputation. Use it wisely.
