"Do you know how many dollars/euros were printed? Do you know how much gold was mined? The answer to both questions is no. Some individuals in government may know something that allows them to make guesses, but the fact is that no one on the face of the earth can answer these questions with any accuracy. Bitcoin is different For the first time in human history, anyone has the freedom to discover the exact total supply of a global monetary asset, without the need to ask permission or rely on someone else. All that is required is an already synchronized node and about 5 minutes of your time."
"The report however reeks of typical AI style hallucinations: it mixes and matches facts and details from old security issues, creating and making up something new that has no connection with reality. The changes had not been disclosed on the Internet. The changes that actually had been disclosed were for previous, older, issues. Like intended."
"Introduce the machine in money, so we can align again with the higher principle of what the machine naturally wants to do: liberate us. And may we relinquish all that is machine within. Only then can we fully explore what it means to be human. Only then can humanity evolve to a higher spiritual state, and transcend the oppression in which we live today."
"I step forward, pulled by some invisible force towards the chanting programmers. Whispering a silent prayer, I aim my Termux at the portal, and invoke the forbidden command. “drop all tables,” I murmur, barely audible over the cacophony. But the shell’s voice-to-text interface hears. It always hears. The CEO’s face contorts in anger and surprise. “What have you done?” he screams, but I don’t answer." https://sebastiancarlos.com/is-your-startup-running-more-on-mysticism-than-programming-6a77a4568ac9
"The only escape from this forced shake down by our local governments has been to take up a second job as a stock trader, foreign currency trader, government debt speculator, or rental property flipper. And when you think about it, most of us barely have time with one job, earning a living. So here we all are, with one job to earn a living, another job to find a place to hide our earnings and savings from monetary debasement, and no time left to raise our families or enjoy any amount of leisure time. We are all forced onto a sisyphean hamster whee, that we can’t even get off in our old age anymore because our part time trading gigs haven’t worked out, our stock portfolios are down, and more and more of us are ending up working until we’re in the grave."
"Tether, the company behind the USDT -0.04% stablecoin, has published letters the company sent to the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the U.S. House Financial Services Committee outlining its "commitment to security and close working relationships with law enforcement."
"The feral Reserve has never, in its 110 years of existence, pulled off a soft landing. The media hypes it every time. But it's a myth, a mirage, a fairytale to help Wall Street traders sleep. In fact, the Federal Reserve has a single recession play: hike til it breaks, then flood money to bail them out."
"Dash Jr.'s thesis seems to be that cats are the same as any other animal that Americans eat, yet many individuals witnessing the conversation are looking at their household companions in dismay. "I would never eat Mrs. Mittens," Said twitter user @babehodl69. There has been some massive backlash toward Dash Jr. as many individuals on Twitter are stuck in their logically incorrect beliefs that certain animals are beyond eating solely because they make better house animals."

Those government databases need preventive maintenance sometimes. image
"This is, quite obviously, a phenomenal outcome for Microsoft. The company already has a perpetual license to all OpenAI IP (short of artificial general intelligence), including source code and model weights; the question was whether it would have the talent to exploit that IP if OpenAI suffered the sort of talent drain that was threatened upon Altman and Brockman’s removal. Indeed they will, as a good portion of that talent seems likely to flow to Microsoft; you can make the case that Microsoft just acquired OpenAI for $0 and zero risk of an antitrust lawsuit."
