> Clay Shirky or Andrew Odlyzko's arguments around the mental cost of microtransactions remain valid What about iTunes, and money transfer apps like Venmo and Zelle, which people use widely for microtransactions (and more)?

by mmooss 9mo ago
Micropayments already exist in the physical world: Venmo, Zelle, etc. It seems easier to just adapt them to the OP's purpose.

There are Japanese-specific darknet networks (using different technology?) that have existed for decades, or are you referring to Japanese language content on Tor, etc.?

Every criticism is accompanied by comments attacking the messenger. Is there evidence of Elektrek's supposed bias?
914.
by mmooss 9mo ago

If all those studies are falsified, maybe the OP blog post is too. At least the studies have extensive research and review. It's always interesting that people give more credence to the most recent person to speak, often the 'debu

Agreed: The Internet has long been up-to-your-eyeballs with low quality content (i.e., bullsh-t). Blaming LLM software for it is ignoring the well-known reality of just a year or two ago.
