No more treating IOUs like money.

But… Doesn’t the whole monetary system rely on them?

Lots of big conversations to be had in the future.

Hey. Pigs are smart. Don’t underestimate sacks of pig shit.

Classic. This will surely mean people won’t expect fraud from the ones taking the reporting.

This is misdirection in its purest and most naïve form.

Really curious what the pattern is here. I don’t get the converter on noai either.

Pastor Johnson is clearly too edgy for this group. Between the emo scowl and that jacket he’s definitely the one crowding heaven

Fair enough. But still less liquid than real capital, which is my only point.

Litigation is mostly too expensive for anyone but the super rich, even for more basic things.

Do they though? They have investments, but a product that has never made money.

Nvidia has capital.

Don’t confuse having deep enough pockets to dissuade lawsuits with actually adhering to the law.

just because AI can find a working pattern doesn’t make it good

I have seen so much from AI supporters saying “it can be a good tool” to save time, but I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anyone try to make the claim that it’s a tool that leads to better code. That should be very telling.

I don’t think many people realize what a kick-the-can-down-the-road kind of failure the SSN now is as a concept, since it’s also being used as a kind of national ID. It’s part of the reason why identity theft against US citizens just gets easier and easier.

Before the 1980s, it was common not to even have a SSN before the age of 15 or so, since it was originally only to be used for financial purposes. It was government action against tax fraud which ultimately made it common to get one assigned effectively from birth: eventually the feds required a SSN for any child over 2 years of age named as a dependent for tax purposes.

But you definitely should never be carrying the card around with you.

15 hours is only like 2 taco bell recoveries. This is a steal.

TIL that wade mode is not a Tesla exclusive. Every car can do it if you’re dumb enough to drive into a reservoir.
