  • Bitcoin has value as a means to be valuable. It doesn’t actually need anything else.

    It’s a great example of it is what it is because of how it is.

    The very concept of investment is more or less distilled down with crypto. You get an unattached vehicle that is no more or less then just a means to a end.

    So ANYTHING that needs to move value can use it. Literally ANYTHING. Which means that everything can use it, including illegal or questionable things.

    And in that regards it’s been a major success!

    And since it’s being moved and valued anywhere by anyone for any reason it sustains a level of value which means others can use it for legit and legal uses. Which self reinforces it.

    It’s literally a perpetual motion machine in a sense. It’s valuable because it’s used. And used because it’s valuable.

    It’s not a bubble, it’s no different then a seashell being used as currency, or a shiny rock. It’s just a means to a end.

    A tool.


  • It’s likely not even an attempt. High chance none of the people writing these bills even has considered that to the degree needed.

    They just know people complained and pushed back, so they changed it to be in line with the protestors. And since lobbiests haven’t pushed back it sits where it is now.

    Things rarely go so deep to have purposeful sabotage. Sabotage though ignorance, laziness and knock on effects tend to be WAY more common.

    Age checks are just a combo of easy political points for Re-Elections via think of the kids. Easy points with donors cause they ask for it for data harvesting reasonings.

    Actually pushing Linux aside likely doesn’t come across either of their minds. One just wants brownie points the other wants your personal information.














  • Prompting AI for a video game plumber is most likely going to result in a Mario like entity just because it’s the most common example.

    That’s a poor example of what your talking about.

    You need someone niche and narrow that has a much smaller sample size. It would be more like asking for a generic description of one persons fursona with out naming it. And the model spitting out a almost 1:1 copy of a real preexisting art work on the fursona. Because the model only has that one picture to base things off of. Which is a real problem.

    It’s also the best way to tell if a model was trained on something specific. General prompts aren’t going to get you anything beyond just the fact that yes. X thing is popular enough that everyone and their grandmother creates content on it.


  • Unfortunately that’s not really how the actual data is stored. Functionally there is no CSAM at all in its “databanks”. Once Info goes through training what comes out the other side is just a mass of goop.

    It’s like if you took an entire cow ran it though a meat grinder. Then demanded that you remove only the chuck from the resulting ground beef.

    It’s not physically possible.

    You can demand it’s retrained entirely from the ground up with vetted data. To produce a higher quality clean dataset. And I would agree that is what should be done.

    But you can’t unground the beef
