it’s money moving, it’s not destroyed

Couldn’t a company incinerate funds and their stock bottom out because no one will buy?

What if they get blocked from the network and repeatedly change accounts, IPs and then MACs repeatedly to get around progressively escalating blocks from the network admins?

Was your response facetious? The AI labs literally do this, right now.

I wonder if you could have the verification use something like the Privacy Pass protocol to emit a bunch of spendable anonymous login tokens.

Earlier this year, Andrew, who works for an Australian company that sells AI products to businesses, began experimenting with OpenClaw, a popular AI agent software that he used Anthropic's Claude AI service to run.

Get me press just like the frontier labs by admitting to crime. Make no mistakes.

It's especially weird since the author is talking about inspecting and modifying data at runtime; gdb happily attaches to a process running a program written in C. However, if he were talking about inspecting and modifying the program itself, then we'd be cooking.

Big Ad Tech is helping push age verification because Big AI Tech took away human eyeballs. It's not that deep.

Alzheimer’s is driven by the buildup of toxic proteins called amyloid-beta.

In the words of Derek Lowe:

Amyloid-directed therapies truly, truly do not appear to be the answer for Alzheimer’s treatment. When I started work in the field back in the early 1990s, I was convinced of the opposite - the evidence looked very strong that defects in amyloid processing were indeed the cause of the disease. But that was thirty-five years ago, thirty-five years in which therapy after therapy after therapy aimed at amyloid mechanisms has failed.

[…] We’re way past persistence, way past focus, way past optimism and multiple shots on goal and old-college-tries. Do something else! For God's sake, do something else.

And just decided to relicense those forks with no real regard.

Also, it’s a loooong way from the self-contained goal—- there are a lot of third-party crates as dependencies still.

Yikes.
