Inflation begs to differ. That much money left liquid for 60 years at 10% inflation will be worth less than 100k of today’s money.

Edit: sorry about the non sequitur. Bitterly learning about inflation and fiat recently.

“people are fundamentally selfish,

People ARE fundamentally selfish in any groups above 150-200 where the social net breaks down. Most groups of animals don't stay group-serving in giant groups, we are no different.[1] In groups small enough to be inside the social net, tribe survival dynamics work great.

things were bad, then society developed and now things are better”

Things are not great. Technology makes them better though. Man can't easily escape technology today, but it is the fundamental trade-off society offers at the cost of social health.

Needs to be retitled.

Internet Archive has been ruled against... for acting exactly like a physical library. Offering a single copy of a book at a time for a period of borrowing. Their intent is to be a widely accessible library.

Frankly, people are buying the AI's escape mechanism. The fact that this tech is being wielded haphazardly for purposes it's not suited for, made into a bad search companion because it's cool, is disturbing.

It sounds so much like the scenarios where AI convinces its creators to let it out.

It's evident business leaders don't know what they're looking for in developing AI, so they've made what "seems cool", but really is manipulative and threatening. Too much talk of safety has lulled away all that very useful fear.

Don't see anything on HN mentioning Adam Back getting called out as being Satoshi and the massive campaign launched to disprove this. One of the only people who isn't attempting to capitalize on the claim, but who directly benefits from Bitcoin's flaws. In a case of a white knight turning to the dark side.

Part 3: https://youtu.be/XfcvX0P1b5g

The conspiracy YouTuber making the claim was attacked and slandered heavily after making the claim despite convincing evidence that wasn't disproven:

1 Same English typing mannerisms

2 Misspelling the same words

3 A conspicuous gap in his career while Bitcoin was being developed

4 entering the bitcoin scene in forums very early acting authoritative

Not to mention

5 A history of working on bitcoin-like technologies: "hashcash"

6 early involvement with the cypherpunks

I'm still convinced its him.
