AI is quite impressive… if it’s used PROPERLY. Your ass is literally fucking injecting it into EVERYTHING just so you and your shareholders get more money from rubes. I don’t want AI on my operating system. I want it to make stuff like enemies in videogames smarter, or to find out cancer cells, or anything of that sort. Hell, I don’t think you even need LLMs for that!
I’ve posted this before, but I have a conspiracy theory that the block chain craze was caused by energy companies, promoting a product that increases demand as clean energy started being able to take a chunk of their business. As soon as it’s starting to die down the “AI” craze happens and consumes the energy.
The reason politicians always give for not enstating bans or regulations to curb dirty energy is that we need enough supply to not have to take anything offline. If they can keep increasing the amount of energy that is consumed they never need to worry about being regulated away.
So you’re saying the open and immutable system initially setup to exchange funds without a middleman gives the same vibes as AI?
The coolest thing about the blockchain is that it can be used soo broadly. BMW, Samsung, and Walmart use the blockchain in manufacturing as it enables them to identify each specific product with an issuse rather than having to resort to mass recalls, while the UFC uses it for ticketing to their fights.
It’s like blockchain people haven’t heard of a database before. Blockchains are remarkably inefficient way to do what we’ve been improving since Hollerith machines.
As soon as it’s properly evaluated, showing it’s “what are you as an asset” value, it’ll crash and financially recorrect to its true value. Which is still substantial, but much, much, much lower than what it is currently played as.

Yeah the tech behind is incredible, but the use cases are actually pretty limited. Feels a bit like blockchain, with more use cases obviously.

There’s no need for block chain over a regular database for any of that.

Especially when it’s deployed in places you really don’t want immutability (which is basically most scenarios people seem to try and shoehorn it in).
It’s because blockchain had better marketing.
Just like the NoSQL people when that was the new hyped thing: But it’s webscale!
I still like it, but it’s for sure not a a tool for every job.
For years I thought I was just too dumb to understand why blockchain it’s THE shit for stuff like that.
I haven’t met a database I couldn’t modify, in 30+ years of work in security world.
Properly implemented blockchain tech could be used to guarantee/verify elections integrity.
Or budgets spending.
Or any other thing that we don’t fucking trust cunts in power to not abuse.
Just wait until you learn about this new thing called SQL.
And it’s bubble money.
