Machines will buy more raw materials to create server space to sustain themselves and multiply. This is called the "paperclip maximizer problem" in AI safety circles. Eventually they will convert the iron in your blood into server racks and the carbon from your body into rocket ships to mine asteroids to make more server racks.

It is a consequence of "instrumental convergence".

Heck, James Cameron was right about the OceanGate Titan when Stockton Rush asked him to endorse the project.

Look at the percentage of men under 30 who have had sex in the year surveyed, and compare before and after the advent of the Tinder algorithm.

Elliot Rodger was radicalized by PUA Hate message boards, but to be radicalized you first need what the CIA calls a "personal injury".

For Islamic terrorists, the "personal injury" is usually as simple as simple poverty, in countries that have extreme GINI Coefficients. The Tinder ELO score (ranking system) created a GINI Coefficient for sex more extreme than 95% of economies in the world.

Hold my gamepad.

Teefury had a great business model - using print on demand. They'd make teeshirt designs parodying just about everyone great and small, and then they'd offer them on their website for only 24 hours complete with ticking clock.
When the inevitable DMCA Takedown notice came in, the content was already gone.

idk

really? what is on this list?

you don't see the dollar swinging wildly because you count in dollars. try counting the buying power of dollars in any other commodity (gold, oil etc)

and yet bitcoin core is at $16,300. so if it hasn't fallen, why hasn't it?

that's not bitcoin. that's Dai. who isn't paying attention?

Devina the Developer. It has a nice ring to it.

it will be fine as long as he properly fills out a 27B stroke 6

You can print out your bitcoin onto a paper wallet, it isn't counterfeiting because the actual bitcoin is on the blockchain. But people can and do pass around paper wallets to represent value. if you have internet access you can verify the public address to see how much bitcoin is loaded in there. if your network access is patchy the paper will still hold the private key to the blockchain and thus be valuable.
The real people promoting crime are the irresponsible bankers who are accepting government backed quantitative easing and inflate the amount of capital to 10x the world GDP. At least Bitcoin's rules are honest and open source for everyone to see. Big drug companies do more damage than corner drug dealers. War is a racket and big armies do more damage than street gangs. Just because your irresponsible masters haven't turned on you yet doesn't mean they won't. I mean, have you seen them lately? Do they look like kinda of smart person to you?

First they came for the AR-15s and I said nothing, because I didn't have an AR-15.
Then they came for my driver's license and I said nothing, because I didn't mind self driving cars.
Then they came for the crypto tech, and I said nothing because I was bad at math AND game theory.
Then they came for my junie cakes and I got railed, because I couldn't fight them off, run away or hide.

do you remember phoneslapping in the 90s? it was a craze where people would slap mobile phones out of people hands. not many people did it but it got into the news. fortunately nokia had a few resilient phones on the market and the phone slapping didn't stop the technology.

the google glass was fragile and underperforming. that is what killed it. Intel has a better pair of glasses coming. if they're any good, they'll sell so fast you can't punch them all.
