Also corruption where the person choosing to pay Oracle also is an owner of Oracle.

They save them in tos as well.

Modern Trek has no actual vision; it has nostalgia. Which is a terrible substitute it frankly is the opposite in many ways.

Was watching home alone 2 and Ron Canada is a cop.

I had always assumed that change was part of the character’s arc. At the start he is a by the books commander and by the end he talks with 5 dimensions aliens, believes he is one chosen to guide a planet full of people and is willing to toss out his morals to manipulate other great powers.

If you just used memes with no text then we will be there.

Man was clearly delusional.

The world deserves another dredd movie.

She is not shocked because she is uncomfortable banging ghosts; she’s surprised that Beverly would.

Just grind a washcloth into your asshole until it flows like a horse mane.

The intended design of a system is not a basis for judgment of the system’s capacity. If something has emergent behavior, it will exceed its stated goals. The whole episode “The Quality of Life” is about that. It’s also pretty clear that LLMs have exceeded what the designers thought they could do.

Does the lack of autonomy of current AI make it not conscious in your view? Why?

That’s certainly untrue. What basis do you have to make that claim?

No, nothing on discovery is real.

If I didn’t have reason to reject discovery before, now i really do.

Cash isn’t always the right asset.

What kind of application is it?

Blobs of json are your friend.

A closed blockchain doesn’t need or use expensive hashing nor is expensive hashing required for a public blockchain.

Every rant about how blockchains are bad SQL databases is ignorant of the actual, novel uses of a decentralized blockchain and whatever system it uses as proof to find the current block’s validator.

Blockchains allow for the synchronization of many actors up to the agreement of the majority of actors. They eliminate a class of corruption. Which is at least those where the authority over a log of data uses that authority to alter the log outside the will of the majority of those who use said log.

You can make all the arguments you want about the usefulness of that ability, you can make arguments that the cost of adding that ability being too high vs the reward.

You vague argued that its complicated and it wont end banks so its pointless. Neither of which is much of an argument. Also, the blockchain replaces central banks, not member banks.

Is that worth doing? Likely not at the current state of the technology.

Blockchain gives a protocol that allows new data sources to join and leave without any coordination while also ensuring data consistency in the data added up to the will of the majority of validators. If, for example, the validators are people, the data sources are doctors and hospitals, and the data is medical history. You can have all your medical history collected together and only accessible to you.

I think you are saying the same thing, but it’s less that history can’t be changed and more than all changes are collectively acknowledged. The Brazilian vaccine record shows why that can be a highly desirable attribute; it prevents a class of corruption while also automating the tasks that could have been corrupted.
