Is there a point where the scam/cringe/grift level reaches a threshold where the trust liquidity drains and scams/cringe/grift no longer pays and we move beyond it? Or is trust liquidity limitless?

The nice thing about the current age is nothing has to be proved, just perception has to be tweaked enough not to remove the shadow of doubt but to create the shadow of suspicion.

Finally got this prototype to work after 1000 years of debugging. Sweet release 🥲

The idea is I dump a bunch of unstructured notes on a topic in, feed that into gpt-4o-mini, ask it to label sections with a set of types – claim, evidence, assumption, etc. – and display them as coloured highlights

I’ve decided the really degen thing to have done Monday is at beginning of trading, short a lot of shares of all the AI related stocks for a penny stock with low volume and not much action. at 20% above market, then at end of day, sell it to buy the AI stocks back.

You can know 100% a system is compromised, you can never know 100% a system has not been compromised.

ll this I’ve said before, and all this I’ll say again. If with my knowledge, skills, and experience with both the infrastructure and apps fight each new app to get it to connect to a wallet, Web3 is not ready for the general populace yet.
