Respectfully, I think it’s just you. Ethereum smart contracts are universally publicized and utilized in the crypto community, and it’s why people were/are interested in the project. Many other coins are built on top of this technology. It’s pretty foundational. If you look into crypto any deeper than just buying and selling it, then the topic should have come up pretty much immediately.
This is a great point that I haven’t heard before, and it seems intuitively correct. Considering overall economic mobility has gotten worse over the decades, I suppose one way you could validate this is by looking at the stats for economic mobility differentiated by… academic success? Measured IQ? Skill acquisition? None of those are good isolated indicators but maybe there’s a good measure where you can say “economic mobility increased for skilled people over time, but decreased for less-skilled people over the same time period.”
This is not a criticism of your point, by the way. I think you’re right. Just wondering exactly how right.
Nope, but I can see the very recent past, and all signs point to an already-captured government and the moneyed interests behind that capture solidifying their influence on public opinion through a similarly captured media and social media landscape.
Those examples all relate to why we will not have another legitimate election in the US. We’ll be able to vote again. It just won’t matter. Elections take place in fascist countries all over the world. They aren’t real. You cannot vote fascists out of power. They have been given power in the US and they will now keep it.
Presumably you have heard about the government agencies being shuttered, unvetted no-security-clearance ex-hackers being given write access to government systems, the three branches of government being controlled by the offending party, including the one that decides whether laws are constitutional or not, open embrace of fascist rhetoric, symbols, and traditional talking points, door to door ICE, election interference, widely reported foreign influence, widely reported billionaire influence, discussion from POTUS himself about annexing other countries, Jesus I could keep going for miles but it’s not remotely necessary
It’s too fucking late. Who gives a shit how he’s going to vote next cycle? There will not be a legitimate vote next cycle. Pushing people like him away? It’s over. There are no more chances. It’s all a show from here on out. That is not an exaggeration.
Spoken like a foreign bad actor
Which young politicians and new media commentators would you point to? I need new people to follow.
“The revolution will be federated” fuck yeah

I’m not the person you responded to, but:
A textual prompt is stimulus for an LLM in almost exactly the same way that a verbal prompt is stimulus for your language center, and your language center alone is not capable of conscious thought, nor is it plastic over the course of that single stimulus response; it has static “weights” as well when computing its response. The language system is just one system out of many interacting ones that lead to conscious thought. There’s no magic here making consciousness happen in the human brain but not on silicon. It will emerge as the systems we build grow more complex.
