@TXMCtrades In other words, what have you learned about BTC to make you less bullish on it? What fallacies are you referring to?

What changed in me is not that I stopped owning BTC. Quite the contrary. It's that I pushed my own education and reduced my naivety, and I share those changed views in direct response to what I consider fallacies instead of keeping them quiet. This is hard for people to accept.

@EllisvegasMoose @TubeAIYT @AndrewYang If nobody can afford to buy those things then they won’t be made by AI, which means we’re back to square one and it’ll be people still making those things, which means they’ll have money to buy those things

@JohnProperBTC @TubeAIYT @AndrewYang Which doesn't matter if everyone has no money or everyone has the same amount of Wellfare. You think an unlimited amount of filet mignon will magically appear, or lobster, Porsche's, Ferrari's, what about Disneyland and Vegas. Everyone will be poor.

Greed driven economies are already an issue, and once prices go up, for the most part, many of them do not go down. i.e., property taxes, vehicle prices, insurance, healthcare costs, shipping, etc. Regardless, if people have zero income, even if prices are reduced, they will have to go without.

@B2BGreenNow @CognitionTimes @TubeAIYT @AndrewYang If they can’t purchase the abundance, then why would the AI/robots make the abundance in the first place if no one can pay them. The market always finds an equilibrium between producers and consumers

@JohnProperBTC @CognitionTimes @TubeAIYT @AndrewYang Not if the overwhelming masses, now unemployed "has been" consumers, are left unable to purchase the abundance of "more things" in a non UBI world. No money, no ticket - burdened by debt leads to an inequality explosion. Yes?

@TubeAIYT @AndrewYang Productivity without people does nothing for people. This removes the people and combined with robots will replace most of the rest. Wellfare isn't a solution, neither is reading the internet, or having grok color in pictures for you.

@TubeAIYT @AndrewYang Because this time the technology IS the worker, not just a tool in the worker's hand. That's the difference between a shovel and a self-driving excavator. Scale matters.

@GaryMarcus Why should it drop sharply? Granting that reliability is an issue, it still doesn’t negate the value that these models provide

IF people understood this study, Nvidia would drop, sharply.
Gary Marcus@GaryMarcus

BREAKING: Reliability, which I have been harping on here since 2019, continues to be deep problem, even with the latest models. A new @Princeton review below offers a taxonomy of some of the many ways in which reliability continues to haunt LLMs seven years and a trillion dollars later. Crucially, “many models lack metacognition about their own reliability”. They don’t know what they don’t know. Forget about AGI if you can’t solve that problem. It’s past time to rethink the whole LLM paradigm.

The top 10% now account for almost half of all consumer spending. That’s not what you want to see.

@danheld @LeonWaidmann ETH is a decentralized network, so if EF changes monetary police to the detriment of users then they just fork off, just as what would happen if BTC core devs or miners tried to inflate supply

Absolutely retarded mETH head take: A) Ethereum’s monetary policy is not credible and is changed frequently, which is the exact some problem Fiat has B) Rate of inflation or deflation doesn’t make it “sound,” it’s the continuity and credibility of the monetary policy. The dollar is sometimes deflationary, does that make it sound money? 🤡

Ethereum is 5x less inflationary than Bitcoin! 3 years and 183 days since the Merge. 🔹 ETH supply growth: +0.240%/year 🔹 BTC supply growth: +1.250%/year Everyone calls Bitcoin "sound money." But by the numbers, ETH has the tighter monetary policy! Let that sink in. Price doesn't reflect it yet. The data does! 📈

@GaryMarcus You’re saying that it WILL be net negative, does that mean you’re implying that it’s been net positive so far? If so, why would it change?

Americans are right. Unless we change the ways in which we are building and regulating AI, the net impact here will be negative. It’s not a narrative problem; it’s an unfettered corporate greed problem.
Brad Gerstner@altcap

AI is deeply unpopular. According to Pew, sadly only 17% of Americans think AI will have a positive impact. In China, 83% believe AI will be positive. A token tax & political backlash is coming unless the narrative changes. 🇺🇸👀🧐

@TXMCtrades Agreed, will take a while for it to happen, but once it is fully capitalized and its volatility is lower than traditional fiats, then it becomes attractive to use it as currency

@JohnProperBTC People cannot be paid in BTC in a big way until/unless others begin to buy goods and services in BTC at a significant clip.

The 19th century gold standard is not a direct comparison to a hypothetical Bitcoin standard. This is a fallacy that is oft fallen in to in BTC conversations.
