Crypto has been dead, dying, scam, grift, rugpull, etc. for 15 years now.
And the market is still there & growing again, to die again, to grow again, to die again, rinse & repeat.
Like the fossil fuel industry & nuclear weapons, it will not disappear until something better replaces what it can do to the point its obsolete. .
Clearly, to those who keep industry value over 500 billion dollars (oh, it's over 1 trillion again 🤷🏿‍♂️), that replacement does not exist yet.
You can cry, you can call politicians, you can bomb blockchain companies, you can scream at every bitcoin logo ever, it's clearly here to stay.
This is actually often done when trying to be more eloquent or dramatic or add importance, like how Independence day is The 4th of July versus just saying Jily 4th.
Umm... No?
I mean i guess it's nice to think that.
Sorry, i dont have a bone of humour in my body 🤷🏿‍♂️.
It's more like morals & steadfast principles will sought after more in soldiers & the ability to make decisions under pressure will be more valuable per soldier than it already is.
Not sure what to say about IT grads, but given we're entering a more "your security is your problem" world, defense budgets are gonna keep rising, and ofc that money is going to much more than troop & equipment procurement
(im not in the military, this is all guesses from listening to IR & geopolitical & military podcasts & stuff)
I feel like this post belongs in non-credible defense, but my guess is the next evolution of drone warfare: Autonomous Combat Assistants (ACAs).
Not an official term ofc, but as AI advances, it will allow for far greater flexibility for drones by allowing them to control themselves & take commands from local forces or human leaders directly versus being a remote controlled unit.
The drone will no longer be just a remote controlled tool, but an operational assistant, saving the human some cognitive load & allowing them to devote more energy to making decisions, for better or worse.
I kind of get it.
My family is Jamaican and even so they haven't cared to speak patois in the house for years nor do they really see the value in helping me learn (assuming they weren't at work), instead laughing at me for messing up words here & there & still speaking US english.
Stuff like this could be added to misskey, Firefish, or whatever other fediverse platforms there are.
No need to implement it on Mastodon & piss off the entrenched community that wants no algorithm.
As for the algorithm, im imagining a few dedicated relay servers to sift through mastodon server data using a dedicated llm (thinking like llama or hugging face? I don't know much about the technicals) to sift through and rate posts by engagement, word choice (evil, demonic, eugenics, crypto, etc) and rate each post topic collectively based on how virtiolic, how much engagement, how many posts, how similar to other posts (for spam), & the topic category & subcategory based off the respective language.
Users who activate the feature would have likes, saves, & etc stored on the client & a hash sent or something with the potential profile focus of the person.
The server weighing the details will prefer to return less seen & posted content very specifically tailored & occasionally more notable & engaged posts that are more general & less charged.
I think the general idea is interesting, & I would try to build it myself (for those who say stop whining & make it yourself), but im here grinding through kaggle learning & udemy so it'd be a while lol
Ooo, glad she likes poetry, or at least reading
