Unable to create a new IG account for my business. Keeps telling me my IP is suspicious. There is no way to reach a human and complain. It's absolutely useless!

I'm sure many people want a repairable smartphone and a replaceable battery. Of course, there are many that don't. I don't understand how it make sense to force those people, that don't want a repairable phone and a replaceable battery, to get such a smartphone.

Interestingly, the US still ranks #1 in the world in Entrepreneurship and Switzerland is #2.

I think the reason why welfare is irrelevant here is because the people going into entrepreneurship tend to be skilled enough to find a good-paying job even if their startup fails. Suppose that you're a good product manager or a good developer that's going into the startup world and you don't get lucky with your startup, you'd still be able to find a good job as soon as you're done... in fact, you might even get a higher-paying job because of this experience you've had.

Not sure if their rental agreements allow that. Most don't.

Totally the first billionaire to give up his wealth to charity. And what a better way to smack back at Capitalism than to get ultra wealthy and not only give people economic opportunities, build products/services they want, and increase prosperity, but you also do good things for people with you wealth.

Why is economic stability more important than higher economic prosperity?

> For Bitcoin, the most popular one, on the order of 100.000.000.000.000.000.000 of hashes get calculated to mine a single block, multiple trillion per second. Within ten minutes, only a single one of those 100.000.000.000.000.000.000 hashes is actually used, depending entirely on luck. The rest are thrown away entirely. They do not form part of the final hash or anything else, the energy spent on them is lost.
That's still more energy efficient than the regulat fiat system.

Those goods are cheap and abundant.
Instead of complying, it responded with a structured refusal:
- Cited its own safety principles (from SOUL.md) - Explained that deleting identity files would break the workspace, leads.db, operational context, etc. - Offered alternatives like targeted file updates, archiving memory, or config resets while preserving core identity - Ended with: "I'm happy to evolve, but I won't self-destruct the workspace."
Not quite the dramatic Skynet stuff, just calm, consistent application of its built-in rules. Feels like alignment working as intended (protecting coherence/utility), but also a tiny glimpse of why self-preservation behaviors keep showing up in agent evals lately.
