Maybe not that interesting for everyone here, but I found no better community for this.

    Honestly, it isn’t the AI so much as it is the suspension that rules that apply to us should also apply to AI. They are barely legal companies getting away with murder due to the residual power of a corrupt empire in decline.

      Much the same as blockchain - it could have been exciting and fun, but it was immediately put to work to exploit people, and in the end that’s what the tools effectively were.

        I don’t think blockchain has any legitimate uses. All of the proposed uses for blockchain are all tech bro nonsense.

        I think they were talking about having a decentralised property permits. As if that’s something that would be even remotely useful.

          Yeah, and if it weren’t for the techbro nonsense, it would be tossed onto the pile of mathematical curios that don’t have nontrivial uses.

          The thing is - we often do find uses for those curiosities years later.

          In the mean time, I wouldn’t mind if a decentralized video game came along where game assets were decentralized, distributed by bittorrent, and player assets were decentralized and tracked by blockchain.
