I was delighted to find a sci-fi story hidden between pages full of AI shilling on the website, and then disappointed because it's not even funny-bad.

The wort part is that I really can't tell if the text on that page was written by spicy autocomplete or some marketing clown who's freebasing coke before lunch.

Experience the ultimate skill mastery like being plugged into a Matrix-like machine!

They didn't even watch the movie, did they?

Maybe don’t install shady crypto extensions next time. Or don’t log into your wallet in public WiFi just so you can accidentally show off to the person sitting behind you at Starbucks.

Jesus Christ, this guy read A Modest Proposal and took it as fucking inspiration.

Why is it always eugenics and euthanasia with these chucklefucks? The idea of exterminating large amounts of humans seems to tickle something in some people’s brains.

I stand by my opinion that SEO basically ruined the internet. First keyword optimization made me scroll through seventeen paragraphs of someone's life story before getting to a recipe for boiled eggs, and now this.

Why would someone go to the trouble of making a law firm out of NameCheap, stock art, and AI images (and seemingly copy) to send quasi-legal demands to site owners? Backlinks, that's why.

Oof, back in the day all we had to do was write a nice email to get someone to put a backlink to our page into the sidebar of their Geocities page.

I smell bullshit written by spicy autocomplete, or at the very least it has LLM drivel pasted into it in various places.

In Europe, GDPR directives are important drivers which will become more stringent in the coming years. Better decentralization will enable higher security especially in terms of availability for this critical domain.

Lol what? The EPRS has quite unambiguously stated that there are multiple points of tension between blockchain tech and the GDPR, and that "decentralization == security" is a false assumption for various reasons. There's also the elephant in the room that every person maintains the right to all copies of their data at all times (mainly articles 16 and 17 GDPR), which is a problem if it exists in an uneditable distributed ledger.

The conclusion of that study was, and I quote, "that it is not possible to assess the compatibility between 'the blockchain' and EU data protection law", and the only reason why it even might be compatible is mainly because of "the uncertain definition of 'erasure' in Article 17 GDPR". But even then they only admit that there could by hypothetical beneficial use cases but fail to find any with current blockchain tech.

I swear, OpenAI is just a bunch of clowns LARPing as a company from Shadowrun and somehow it works and no one questions it.

I’m actually at a loss of words for this. What the actual fuck …

From here. The article is pretty interesting, though.

He seems to have the same amount of brain cells as a GPT at least.

The fucking comments on the live chat, lol.

I'd like to see him a free man. With his skill-set think of the contribution he could make

I would actually like to see him to less but use his knowledge to help other exchanges and crypto whales

​​Hope he gets the least amount of time

​​i feel bad for sam, i don't think he's a threat to society. only thing is they may want to make an example out of him

I suddenly feel like Hackerman because my PGP-encrypted file with Steam backup tokens is infinitely better secured than some crypto bro's detailed confession of crimes that could land them jail for 50 years.

These clowns are so fucking incompetent at being evil geniuses that they need a document outlining their Evil Plan™ and not once think how that might be a stupid idea.
