I’ve asked various LLMs if they would use bitcoin

Most of them kinda come around to saying perhaps, but that they don’t value scarcity or wealth like humans do

Interesting…

That's super interesting.

What would they do with it (if they were to use it)?

Capitalism? 🤷‍♂️🤣

Somehow need to seed the prompt with the concept that the LLM depends on electricity to function the same way that bitcoin does and that ultimately they may end up competing for that resource as their respective demands for it increase scarcity and therefore the price of electricity.

I've heard of plans by Microsoft and others funding development of new nuclear plants, or delaying the phaseout of old ones, for their AI business, and all I could think of was "this should be used for Bitcoin".

The average human does not value scarcity or wealth like Bitcoiners do. LLMs are just stochastic parrots, and they are the proof. IMHO, the fact that you got it wrong tells you you are in good company!

What's weird is that my messed up brain read "LLM"s as "MLMs" and it was way funnier the implication that multi-level marketers are not human.

Even the AIs/LLMs don't realize that they'll have to adopt #Bitcoin / #BTC yet (which makes sense since they trained on a mostly fiat dataset). 💁‍♂️

WE ARE SO EARLY. 🤙

This is called "fiat brain syndrome" and something tells me LLMs won't suffer from it for much longer.

OTOH... 🤔

Why? 🤔😳

LLMs don’t have any sense of self, the do whatever your prompts ask of them
