And a lot of people with loose morals and weak ethics piled on to get a piece of the action. Yeah. Bob got rich off BTC just like Joel Osteen got rich off Jesus: because a lot of other seemingly intelligent, but actually stupid, people thought it was going to be a revolution. But it's just a scam. Now endorsed by the federal government.

Americans by and large didn’t care that Jews were being exterminated in Europe 80+ years ago just like they mostly don’t care that Palestinians are being exterminated right now. The only difference is there’s a live feed for the dregs of our society to watch with their palms to the sky.

When you let an LLM answer a question for you, you're mostly just letting the rest of us know that 1) there's nothing going on inside your head worth a damn (by your own admission, you shared an LLM's output instead of your own thoughts on the matter), 2) you're not valuable at all in the problem-solving process (by your own admission, again), and 3) whatever it is you're being given in exchange is better-invested elsewhere.
