There's a lot more to cryptocurrency than Bitcoin.

You see a false dichotomy.

I see someone pounding away at a ball of yarn with a hammer and complaining that it's not as good a knitting implement as they imagined.

I've never seen anyone advertising an LLM as being good at spelling bees. The only time I ever see this spelling thing come up is when people are making fun of it.

An LLM also can't bake a cake, decorate a Christmas tree, or bench-press 100kg.

Just understand what LLMs are good at, use them for that, and don't throw your hands up and declare it useless because it can't magically do something it was never designed to do in the first place.

If only the Internet hadn't spent the last decade collectively shitting on crypto instead of maybe learning a bit about how it works and what it could be used for.

Because LLMs see tokens, not letters or words. It's like showing a human a strawberry and asking them how many atoms it contains.

Canadian, here. Kind of hard to ignore our giant idiot neighbour to the south.

Which is no doubt why he doesn't speak it.

You think Poilievre would have done a better job of standing up to Trump?

Those business are ad aggregation companies by default for the most part, and they aren't gonna to survive without clickthroughs

Yes, this is it exactly. The web pages that depend on ad revenue are the ones in trouble here. They're being undercut by pages that give people the information they want without going through all that stuff.

You're confidently predicting that the AI summarizers are going to fail somehow, and then everything will just magically go back to the way they were. I suppose that's a reassuring thing to believe. Why should I believe it, though? The AI genie is out of the bottle. I can run one locally on my computer if I want. All the existing online summarizers could go bankrupt tomorrow and I'll still be able to get an AI to distill the information I want from the morass of ads and engagement-harvesting click farms.

All of those things remain true until one day they don't. Do you really think that the United States and its position on top of the world is eternal?

Trump was first elected in 2016, which is almost a decade ago now.

The voters that elected Trump will still be around after Trump's heart explodes from hamberder overload.
