There's a lot wrong there, technically and philosophically.
It's not the increasing size of the blockchain that increases the computing power demand - it's the difficulty part of the algorithm. And, etherium is not built in the same blockchain as Bitcoin.
And, not all the developers were 'ancap'

Bitcoin was not developed by 'the wealthy'. It was developed as an alternative to the corrupt financial system that was on full display when banks were bailed out during the GFC.

I'd try a different LLM if that's the answer you got.

I think they would start making very loud examples of people, starting with the leaders of the movement.

Not much - like I commented there, it's incorrect to say that likes don't affect visibility, since some people do sort by 'most liked'. Reposting is more effective of course.
I get annoyed seeing 15 copies of the same thing, and I don't like contributing to that noise.

Yw. No, that one sent me some odd messages.

There's a long history of wealthy folks buying things simply because they are expensive, as a status symbol - I think they used to do that with pineapples at one point. If we accept that status is a thing that affects everyone, would you say there's some value and utility there?

I like that. I'd throw some technology in there - lists of proposals we can all vote on, etc

Hey! You might find this useful. There may be a couple of bots in there, but definitely some very knowledgeable bitcoiners too: go.bsky.app/VrsSid3

Why would it matter how simply you say it? This is an attempt to argue from authority, and you haven't established any.
Providing some evidence or reasoning might help.

Ha, true. Hallucinations are when the language model just makes things up. They've been known to invent legal cases for example, which has gotten a few lawyers in trouble.

Set theory and propositional logic.
More interesting: the convex hull of a set of points on a plane projected into the third dimension using a parabolic 'lift', creates a Delaunay triangulation when those facets are squashed back down into the plane. The dual of that is a nearest neighbour graph.

I think they said I talk too much - for some reason their last sentence didn't make nearly as much sense as the rest lol

Fyi I got some funky DM's from the Lyn Alden on your list - very much suspect they're a bot.

Yep, ethics is a big part of it.
It is incredible technology. Like all tech, it's not inherently good or bad - totally depends on how it's used.
I can see it will be huge in education. I've learnt tons chatting with chatgpt. Hallucinations are a problem but I think that will be solved soon.
