Don't Trust Clankers: AI Agents Are Dangerously Helpful
Lessons learned from exploring AI tooling.
One belief I have that keeps me optimistic about Bitcoin's future is that the system runs on the actions of rational, self-interested actors.
Irrational propagandists have no power here.
Beautiful
Consider that the dumbest person you know is repeatedly being told 'you are absolutely right' by an LLM.
