Shogun Burger (Japan) makes some pretty amazing burgers. I ordered and ate a 7-patty Wagyu burger with cheese, egg and bacon (no bun) and was still hungry so ate another 3-patty one. My signature is in one of their establishments on the second floor with the time it took me to eat the 7-patty burger.

Crazy how quick LLMs replaced search. But that means that LLMs will get worse as they monetize it through ads of some kind.

Honestly, it's way too hard to be pseudonymous and too easy to get doxxed. I suspect that had a large part to do with why Satoshi disappeared so early.

We're at the stage where people are trying to fix problems that they speculate may or may not happen 20 years in the future. I can't think of a better argument for ossification.
