       @molly0xfff am I wrong to think that 1) crypto is more like a commodity (a weird one at that) than a currency and 2) when a commodity is marketed as if it were a currency you get a pyramid scheme?

       @clive what could go wrong when "What sounds right?" is substituted for "What is right?"

       @adamasnemesis @mekkaokereke wouldn't it be incredible if a potus candidate championed wait staff and nurses and janitors and house cleaners in particular?

       @Onlineadviser @QasimRashid Tipping is a system invented to avoid paying black people for their labor and to enable customers to exploit and abuse employees.The class of employees most in favor of it are wait staff at expensive restaurants. Usually white and conventionally attractive.Employers bear the responsibility of paying their employees.Period.

       “AI” is actually Applied Statistics and it *might* one day be useful for reducing bullshit jobs. But it ain't intelligent and it doesn't understand squat.Paraphrasing Ted Chiang and @pluralistic #AI #hype https://pluralistic.net/2023/06/10/in-the-dumps/#do-the-humpty-dump
