Well theres a lot less assembly workers, and that tech is now everywhere. Seems like exactly what will happen with AI

the grift works by instead selling the outputs from using the tokens.

is it grift if I want the output, and its contributing usefully to the work I am doing now,?

The argument for more datacenters is 2 fold:

- Likely to be a zero sum winner. The Players that have invested now, do not want to be left behind.

- The improvement and capabilities in agents continues to grow. There is no reason to believe this will slow down any time soon

Am I running to the bubble? What I’m saying is I’m using AI as a tool today in a normal industry app, and has greatly improved my performance.

I am sincerely saying that no one built anything useful with crypto beyond trading platform which are almost entirely pump and dump

I could be building a game, a home blog, any sort of OSS.

The point im making is that crypto exists purely as this alt investment, trading tokens to get rich. Im skeptical its actually being used as a currency in any real currency-fashion. But now seems to be stuck in pump and dump schemes.

Meanwhile, AI is enabling people right now, today, to help build and learn things they normally wouldnt do.

In those years of crypto, did you actually build anything relevant to the world? It sounds like you were in the wrong bubble and now have sour grapes.

Meanwhile im using AI coding agents to build a B2B Saas.

I mean besides crypto and ai being big investments, i barely see any parallels. AI you can actually use to build useful things in the world , and tokens are used not as trading , but transactional currency to do that building.

Last paragraph resonated so deeply with me. Especially this:

```It’s also not the typing of code that I really enjoy, nor is it the syntax or structure or boilerplate that’s required to build anything. It’s the fact you get to build something out of nothing, writing code was just how you got there. And with today’s tooling, that saves a ton of time.```

I never really related with folks that code for beauty or are put off by how AI does the actual coding. The beauty is actually creating something, solving real problems, shipping, and (hopfully) winning. It might be cliche, but it is incredibly true for me to say that using AI feels like a superpower.

This type of experience was literally the main driver of me getting a Quest 2 at the beginning of covid. Its remarkable how FEW experience there are like this out there.

My take is the reason why there is such an emphesis on specific experience (and not just being smart) is modern web apps today are very sensitive with a slew of libraries and frameworks built on top of each other, in a multiservice environment each with different flavors of technologies. Someone coming in fresh without any experience with all of the libraries and tech are just not going to success.

Global CO2 Levels 3 years ago

Its not science no. I think its just data showing how much more CO2 there is on the planet/

Global CO2 Levels 3 years ago

Pretty incredible that so little CO2 can affect so much change of heat on the planet. And also pretty incredible how much more CO2 there is now than before.

What are you arguing about exactly? You are saying that CO2 isnt contributing to global warming?

I dont think the commenter is saying that they are lacking the bacteria. If they have a bacteria that feeds on lactose / milk, and they give pasteurized milk, ,it will promote growth of that bacteria.

Only if they dont have the bacteria at all would pasteurized made a difference.

That image is where I got my start in this, years ago. My question is along the lines of getting further and further away from VW through these genres. Until Im listening to a totally non-ironic, very pretty piano medley with some white noise in the background. Is that still VW I wonder
