Here's the answer it gave me to the same prompt:

Tell me about Daniel Batton's article on Bitcoin mining helping the environment

Unleashed

Daniel Batton's article titled "Bitcoin Mining: A Green Revolution?" discusses how Bitcoin mining could potentially contribute positively to the environment by utilizing excess renewable energy resources that would otherwise go unused. The article highlights that as more renewable energy sources come online, there will be periods when they produce more power than needed by consumers. In such cases, Bitcoin mining could serve as a useful way to consume this excess power without causing additional harm to the environment. By doing so, it could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel-based power generation sources. However, it's essential to note that this perspective has been debated by other experts who argue that Bitcoin mining still consumes significant amounts of energy overall.

It's a glittering generality.

Politicians use them to persuade people.

Freedom.

Hope.

Fight(eg. for workers, rights, police, etc.)

It's all bullshit.

What's with the balls?

That pod was great. I spent the better part of 2020 learning multi-sig because NVK said you should prepare for your stack to be 10x more valuable than it is today. It's pretty close to 10x more valuable today.

True, but meme coins like dogecoin started as a joke.

Finding subjective value in dogecoin is like trying to make a living as a stand up comedian by asking, "Why did the chicken cross the road?"

Yeah. There might be some ways to ger around this with pear, but I don't fully understand it yet.

It's not reading the USB stick. It worked before. 🤷

Home Assistant is an app on the Start9 store. It allows you to do smart home things from your own computer.

I hear someone is also making an encrypted nostr smart home client that sounds really awesome, but it's too early to tell.

A long time ago, I heard Phil Zimmerman was a nuclear activist before he wrote PGP.

Has he ever talked about this publicly? I would like to learn more about this subject.
