This is AI psychosis
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

AI generates Google Maps routes and ETAs
This was posted yesterday by a retired senior officer and now corporate leader. If AI cannot even generate a map of the US accurately what is it all about?
Lunacy.

How can drawing be hard if it’s incredibly easy to pick up a pencil
I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

On the AI bubble
Bubbles have massive divergences in their P/E, not structural growth like now.
Tech is an immediate beneficiary of AI in a way bubbles never are.
Hyperscalers are supply constrained with multi-year demand visibility and the market is responding rationally to spending commitments.

That's also why I don't use google translate, which pioneered and scaled transformers, the basis for LLMs.
If you use Translate you're using an AI trained on human work to produce output based on your input.
Same with Maps and ETA/route generation. Same with Netflix/Youtube recommendation engines.

Do I think I'm better than you because I *don't* use generative AI? Yes, yes I do.

Ironically, this is an issue blockchain solves. We've seen what happens when TradFi ledgers disagree on whose ledger is correct... it results in $ millions of customer deposits being up for dispute.

Cash is not anonymous because if I make a bank deposit then the bank knows who I am. I am very smart.
3. But the idea that US dollars are anonymous is silly and easily rebuttable. Simply go to your bank with a shoebox full of $10,001 in cash and ask to deposit it into your account.

This is good news for everyone spending time on advancing ZK and privacy layers, they can stop now because crypto is already absolutely anonymous! The job is done!
And the mental faculties of our representatives are indeed not challenged!

2. First, crypto is absolutely anonymous. You need not prove your identity to open a crypto wallet that can buy and sell tokens, and you can send your tokens to digital mixers that wash their trail and you can hop between blockchains. So it’s a great way to do crime.

1) what?
first, nobody with an IQ above their shoe size feels mislead by the term stablecoin, especially not because of "coin"
second, you're not buying code from someone, you're paying to mutate ledger state that shows how much of a dollar redeemable token you have

The term “stablecoin” itself is misleading. These aren’t coins nor are they stable. They are a bit of computer code that you can buy for a dollar and gives the owner title to a dollar but can be infinitely and instantly transferred to any computer on the planet.
