LLMs don’t notice the frown or smile as you talk about sad memories or incidents. They don’t notice the underlying emotions that aren’t explicitly expressed through words. They don’t have the timing of when to ask questions that deepen your experience. They also don’t provide the regulated nervous system when you’re feeling dysregulated.

LLMs are basically glorified CBT machines, but they don’t have the Rogerian presence and therapeutic alliance that good therapists are able to provide, and are more important than the modalities that are used in sessions.

Well, with all the Bitcoin maxis on there, more like right, far-right

Nope, because SSD/HDD tech has evolved in capacity while the costs have gone down.

Minting and selling NFTs in general require more computation, but many smart contracts with NFTs have been gas optimized compared to 2021, sometimes requiring less approvals and transactions.

A lot of activity moved to L2s, making L1 gas cheaper, and so simple ETH and token sends are cheaper. L2s will continue to get cheaper, with the next hard fork around November and L1 gas should be even cheaper with the hard fork after the next.

To be fair, Ethereum wasn’t rolled back like Bitcoin got rolled back in 2010.

Ethereum had a surgical state change on a smart contract via hard fork that implemented that change, so it had 0 effect on other blocks.

Those scaling limits are temporary though. PeerDAS in the next hardfork should increase scalability even more on the rollups.

Most of these L1s will likely end up becoming L2s in the near future, especially if they can rake in revenue via sequencers

Most of the stablecoins are on Ethereum, which is Proof of Stake, and the remaining is on centralized chains like Tron.

Gas fees on Ethereum L2s like Base cost $0.0016 to send USDC, and $0.00064 to send ETH.

Stablecoins are tokens issued by a centralized issuer that is backed by fiat and /or US treasuries (especially for USD stablecoins). This would mean USDC by Circle, or USDT by Tether, but there are more stablecoins issued by others as well.

Itch could update the prices pegged to BTC or ETH, yes, but they'd either want to keep them, or liquidate them to USD, in which case there is risk of fluctuation between when the token is sent, and when it's liquidated.

Ethereum is doing just fine after going PoS, in fact, it’s much more secure than when it was PoW from a security budget standpoint while achieving less inflation compared to Bitcoin, and will continue to remain secure compared to Bitcoin’s critical security budget issue as block rewards go down. It’s also special compared to other chains in that it started out as PoW for at least 7 years.

Bitcoin has ASIC monopoly and conflicts of interest with core devs connected to companies dipping into mining.

Solana and other chains are VC fueled crap though, I agree.
