Crypto was more fun back in the day imho. I remember Bitcoin pre-fork. I bought some in 2016 and was using it to buy stuff online from overstock. It was kinda fun and different, you got discounts and at the time Bitcoin was going up so it was cool to spend money and then see balance increase. I also used Bitcoin ATM back then when I was in the pitch. These days I don't really care much for it.

That's why I exited crypto long time ago, I could've been more well off if I kept it but these shenanigans is why I sold everything.

That's wild, I remember in early 2000s it was super easy to upload a PHP file with a shell. Back when hostings were shared, one shell could get you access to the whole host.

This is what it feels like. I went from high performer to barely getting in touch with people in the last year and those are warm leads not cold-calling. Time for a new gig...

Christ... on the opposite end.. I'm in sales. I wish that people would just make their intentions clear. They submit a lead and I can't even get a STOP response anymore.

If I had the money... I'd get a cabin, truck, necessitates, starlink and life would be good.

I'm not sure how you figured that my political views are odd or whatever you implied with that comment. A bit dismissive and arrogant assumption, don't you think?

Its not that, I just find it interesting that the model decided to reduce human experience and existence to nihilism. I'd like to see more nuanced answer.

Look at it this way, LLM has a creator, is it too wild to assume that perhaps human existence is more complex as well vs nihilistic universal chance?

I do want AI to code well, but I also use it for idea exploration, writing, research, etc.

AI is an atheist

I've done it with Local 60. I didn't last long. The work is legit heavy and hours are crazy. I lasted 4 months before I figured it is not for me. 6 am safety meetings and talk about injuries or someone getting decapitated was not a good motivator either.

I exited crypto in 2017 after the fork because there was too much community fighting, I didn't think it would take off.

I did speculate a little in 2020-22. I have LeBron NFT 1 out 1K from Superbowl promo during crypto com boom and crush... worthless now but I didnt spend a penny on it.

Is it possible to learn something like this later in life? My granddad was a carpenter and had a shop but by the time I was a kid he took up drinking pretty heavily and I barely saw him working. I suck when it comes to mechanical work or something similar but I think I'd enjoy working with wood.

I thought it was established that those were search engine crawlers...

Finally a lucid comment.

They're not planning an attack on Eastern Europe. They are desperate to wrap up their Ukraine fiasco.
