Math professor. Crypto skeptic. I wrote the textbook about the game theory of Bitcoin. Bluesky is the worse social media space, except of course, all the other ones

People do not understand the cartoonish dystopia these guys are pursuing. They're investing in every industry.

The thing that frightens me most about AI in the near term is the number of stupid people who are going to gird themselves with agentic AI and do massively overreachy stupid things. Once agentic hits mainstream, there's going to be a singularity of just pure stupid. Mass chaos.

Fascinating - not sure if this is the same, but I have of conversations that go like

Me: "the kids have SATs coming up, right?"

Wife: "yes this Saturday can you drive them to Salem?"

Me, two minutes later: "we got some snow; are the boys planning to go skiing Saturday morning?"

Wife: ?? !!

Next, you're gonna tell me that that anti spyware pop-up that I let install itself on my computer is secretly spyware.

To be fair, chokepoint was not imagined, authorities openly made a decision to do "regulation by engagement" a completely reasonable way to deal with an industry full of rapidly morphing shit.

The key insight Nic had was that the government openly doing their job was actually a conspiracy

You could save money on editing by just having people predict what the next article is gonna be and then you know let the market decide

Yeah, he doesn't strike me as a big into David Graeber. I think he just gets something out of separating himself from said 40W crypto chuds

Turns out "markets exist at the pleasure of the government" didn't go over too well on crypto twitter. He turned off replies.

The left needs to step up its signaling game and make it clear that we will do more than just do this whole smug "we told you he was going to do this OMG I'm just so exasperated" thing. This is genuine blood of patriots and tyrants territory.

Not in foreseeable future. There are many miners would get low cost (sometimes negative cost for short periods) energy and they have already paid for ASICs. They may be losing money long term in interest on the equipment, but by that time difficulty will adjust way downward

Yes and because some miners have near zero marginal cost, they will continue to produce blocks. Difficulty will adjust to the pace at which they are producing blocks.

So only the profitable folks continue to mine, and it keeps going.
