Bitcoin & šŸ«‚ Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of ā€œharmā€.

Oh come on man, this isn’t Twitter šŸ«‚šŸ«‚šŸ«‚

Oh hello 🄰🄰🄰

Teleportation is better than flying, especially if there is no cooldown and you arrive with whatever momentum you’d like

Is Nostr well suited to taking on Apple and Google for decentralized anonymous traffic reports?

George Hotz #geohot misquoted Hayek 1984 about bitcoin in his recent techno optimist accelerationist stream (YouTube). The difference is everything for his argument.

Here’s the correct quote

"I don't believe we shall ever have a good money again before we take the thing out of the hands of government, that is, we can't take it violently out of the hands of government, all we can do is by some sly foundabout way introduce something that they can't stop." - F.A. Hayek 1984

Is there anything more deep to his anti-Bitcoin stance? Anyone know?

I’m definitely not claiming that people don’t have intrinsic value. I think that’s one of the things that really sets us apart from the machines that I imagine will exist in 100 years. Each person is precious šŸ«‚. It doesn’t seem obvious that machines will have intrinsic value like we do.

That said, the economic value that I was referring to is a different concept. Market value is yet another thing as well. Technically, I think what I mean is that human labor will have a zero and possibly negative slightly market value.

And ultimately, the reason I care about thinking about this stuff is that I agree: by planning ahead, it’s possible that humans have a future. Not to sound pessimistic but I don’t think having a future is inevitable given that it seems likely that we are evolutionarily ā€œunfitā€ when compared to… the machines.
