Why are you posting the entire article? It’s generally considered kind of an asshole move towards the people that actually wrote the article.

😋 👍

Error ERROR does not compute. 💥 😋

Somebody should make a movie about that. 😋

We could also save a lot of energy if we stopped using our brains, and instead have AI think for us.
Did anyone ever think of that?

Everything is possible, that doesn’t necessarily make it likely. Some things can be so unlikely they are not worth considering.

I don’t see any way they should be able to prevent people from owning things. That would need to some dystopian government interference that I don’t see possible to happen, not even in the corrupt USA.

Because otherwise, you’ll have no car and no computer.

What? Why the hell not? Musk cannot prevent Toyota and VW from selling cars and Sam Altman cannot prevent people from buying computers.
They may be delusional, but why make it out like their delusions have any foundation in reality?

Exactly.

It’s a matter of who owns the resource,

Yes so Musk wants us to drive cabs as in not owning our own cars, and Sam Altman wants us to not own our own AI but rent it from ChatGPT.

THEY want it that way to monopolize a service and make more money.
The question was why would WE want it?

If we have fully autonomous cars, why would we need cabs?

Bitcoin does not protect privacy, that was a claim when it was new, but has been thoroughly debunked. Bitcoins are as traceable as any other digital payment.
Using it illegally is reserved for people or nations that are out of reach of the law.

🤣🤣🤣
👍

Exactly. But the independence from government control was a HUGE selling point originally.
But it only works if you are legally immune from consequences. Like for instance Russia and North Korea.
And guess who has been using bitcoin to circumvent sanctions? 😋

Except if you are a country like Russia or North Korea.

At least nothing of any real value was lost. Bitcoins are not really better than NFT, and those are worthless today. It’s just that bitcoin can be used for illegal activities, otherwise they have no use, but that’s apparently enough for some people to still believe they are worth something.

Bribe is my guess, but I think Trump may die before it happens.

In general yes, but not when it’s really good news about how awful they are doing, that gives us the opportunity for a bit of schadenfreude.
