At least the people on Shark Tank sometimes bring in cool or entertaining prototypes. Your version would be just slide decks of fintech, vaporware and things that already exist but with a subscription model slapped on.

Maybe this person is a time traveler from a century ago when libertarianism mainly meant anarchism and similar decentralist leftist ideologies.
Just being diligent about replication
Same, I can seldom tell if people are talking of the SSC anagram namesake guy or the other guy, and usually don't want to either. If it's the Dilbert guy I can usually tell by the context. And I worry there might be one or more notable treacles with the last name Scott to make it even more confusing.
Personally, I have better things to keep track of and you probably have as well.
The 8088 saga is a serial escalation in mindblowing. I'm still working on the Bad Apple!! post (some scope creep happened) but 8088 domination is one of the crowning moments of win within that history as well.
The IBM PC is a neat machine and it's not its fault it has been holding back the IT industry to this day.
Do not give SSC a water stone.
I've been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who think my fuzzy digits are cute.
Behold my supreme genotype!
Imagining a very literal version of The Selfish Gene where I'm rejected when asking someone out only because my partner doesn't want her child to enjoy cilantro because she thinks it tastes like soap and also thinks rolling your tongue is gross.
Well I certainly hope ethical concerns are holding back eugenics. Possibly even among the main things doing so.
I don't claim to know any better than you, but my intuition says it's the funding, combined with the fact that even understanding what the claims are takes a fair bit of technical sophistication, let alone understanding why they're bullshit. The ever soaring levels of inequality — constant record highs in a couple generations at least — make it hard to realize just how much power the technocrats hold over the public perception and it can take a full lecture to explain even an educated and intelligent person how exactly the sentences the computer man utters are a crock of shit.
And more cynically, for some people it's the old saw about not understanding things when your paycheck depends on it.
It's a self-repairing problem, since you can't fool most people forever, but the sooner the less people still buy into it, the better.
This is like TV being invented in 1927 and then people in 1930 saying that it’s a bubble because it hasn’t grown as fast as they expected it to.
That's the exact opposite of a bubble, then. A bubble is when the valuation of some thing grows much faster than the utility it provides.
Yea sure maybe we're still in the early stages with this stuff. We have gotten quite a bit further from back when the funny neural network was seeing and generating dog noses everywhere.
The reason it's a bubble is because hypemongers like yourself are treating this tech like a literal miracle and serial grifters shoehorning it into everything like it's the new money. Who wants shoelaces when you can have AI shoelaces, the shoelaces with AI! Formerly known as the blockchain shoelaces.
Watch me bring them something unnecessarily overcomplicated that boosts their ego to win all of the money.
A micropayment platform designed to integrate with long form textual content. The subscribers will be able to vote with their wallets on the topic they wish the CONTENT_CREATOR to cover.
But there's a game theoretic twist. The final price of each vote will be discounted based on the share of votes it received, so if you vote for the winning option, your votes will end up costing less. This encourages strategic voting based on what would be the most interesting topic to the largest share of subscribers, incentivizing subscribers to maximize for total utility instead of just their own interests.
Additionally, below a certain threshold of share the votes will be free of charge. This is to encourage heterodox views and foster engagement with unconventional interests that would otherwise be risky to vote for.
The cutoff for the free Complimentary Contrarian's Votes will be determined by a prediction market running in parallel with the vote.
The winning votes will become investments into the post, binding the CONTENT_EXCRECATOR to CREATE_THE_CONTENT and based on some configurable metric (post score, ad revenue etc.) the investment will accrue dividends, which the subscriber can cash out to a charitable organization. However, this can only be done once per publication per subscriber, meaning the subscriber should wait for the investment to accumulate before cashing in. A global high score will show the subscribers who have cashed in the largest amount in donations and their voting power will be increased in proportion to their score.
I want 15% equity and a public live stream session of the AI box game with Yud where I roleplay as the shittalking French knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
