Yaaaaaay. We took the long way round to work this out.
Now do AI.
- palata 3y agoWell NFT was completely useless from the beginning on. Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, are very useful for a whole lot of blackhat use-cases (and it seems like they are mostly useful for that, unfortunately). Same applies for AI. There is a whole lot of lucrative bad stuff that can be done with them, so they won't become worthless. Not clear yet if they will bring any good to the world, or if the balance will be mostly on the evil side (like cryptocurrencies).
- worksonmine 3y agoDon't have to be a blackhat to enjoy having control of your own funds. Plenty of people don't trust their banks. I know someone who got his account shut down simply for moving his salary to his home country, where he was building a house. And that causes all kinds of problems, now he's not able to take a legit work, and even identify himself on government websites since that service is also controlled by and connected to a bank account. Now it's up to him to prove that he's not funding terrorism (we're close enough that I'm positive this claim is ridiculous) for moving his own money between his own bank accounts. People do fall between the cracks in these automated systems and it will only get worse with time. Unfortunately people are retarded and can't see the true benefit of cryptocurrencies and are only looking to get rich quick and it ruins the entire ecosystem.
- thfuran 3y agoI'm quite sure that if cryptocurrency were used at the scale of bank accounts, far more people would be far more screwed over by its much larger cracks.
- gmerc 3y agoCash always seems like it solves these particular problems just fine. Or rolexes.
- bajsejohannes 3y agoI would expect him to be scrutinized to a larger degree had the money come from cryptocurrencies. Both sending and receiving banks have money laundry protection schemes.
- worksonmine 3y agoWith crypto he wouldn't need the bank to begin with. There's a reason banks have been so afraid of it, they need us to need them.
- _chu1 3y agoDon't get my hopes up man
- famahar 3y agoWhat specifically about AI do you want to be worthless?
- chpatrick 3y agoThe only thing crypto and AI have in common is hype. But not everything that's hyped up is worthless.
- andrewflnr 3y agoMindless dismissal of hyped technology is no smarter than mindless adoption. Generative AI demonstrably has utility. It's here to stay, no matter how much we hate it.
- nomel 3y agoPeople hate it? What are some reasons?
- mariusor 3y agoBecause it's noise. Finding good art on the internet is already hard with just humans producing it, when the barrier to entry is crafting a prompt, the amount of shitty end-results will drown everything else out. And this is before considering the point of view of the artists that get their work incorporated in the training corpus without being paid.
- andrewflnr 3y agoOne reason is that it threatens a lot of people's jobs.
- mehphp 3y agoWhy AI?
