  • Most people don't have sleep apnea or a medical condition that causes snoring.

    Most people are overweight.

    Hence, most you encounter won't snore unless they're overweight. Medical conditions are the exceptions to the rule, I didn't say 'People can't snore unless they're overweight', which is what you seem to be assuming oddly.

  • Overweight people are more likely to snore because excess fat around the neck and throat can narrow the airway, increasing resistance to airflow and causing vibration during sleep.

    So how exactly is that ‘absurd’ lmao?

  • It’s built on publicly available data, the same way that humans learn, by reading and observing what is accessible. Many are also now trained on licensed, opt-in and synthetic data.

    They don’t erase credit they amplify access to human ideas.

    Training consumes energy, but its ongoing usage to query is vastly cheaper to query than most industrial processes. You’re assuming it cannot reduce our energy usage by improving efficiency and removing manual labour.

    “If something is made unethically, it shouldn’t exist”

    By that logic, nearly all modern technology (from smartphones to pharmaceuticals) would be invalidated.

    And fyi I am an anarchist and do not think intellectual property is a valid thing to start with.

    I think you're also underestimating the benefits cars have ushered, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone serious that can show that the harm has 'outweighed their benefits'

  • Why does it need to complete it on its own?

    With a human reviewer you can still do things a lot quicker. Code is complex so more the exception to the rule.

    Next time your stuck on an issue for hours stick it into deep research and go for walk

    • Self-reported reductions in cognitive effort do not equal reduced critical thinking; efficiency isn’t cognitive decline.
    • The study relies on subjective perception, not objective performance or longitudinal data.
    • Trust in AI may reflect appropriate tool use, not overreliance or diminished judgment.
    • Users often shift critical thinking to higher-level tasks like verifying and editing, not abandoning it.
    • Routine task delegation is intentional and rational, not evidence of skill loss.
    • The paper describes perceptions, but overstates risks without proving causation.
  • Well, SOL and ADA were made on demand, technically ;) That's why proof of work is king. I mean here's the Solana insiders laughing about dumping on retail

    I dont mind memecoins when they're done right. Transparent, fair distribution, etc. There's also a 'DegenFinance' category of dApps with things that are openly advertised as gambling. One even as a Ponzi (Lock your assets in a smart-contract, pay a fee to unlock, fee goes to the people who stay in longer). Plenty of legit projects building on those platforms too, but yeah unless you're interesting in things like yield, lending, bonds, synthetics, etc - probably not going to ring your bell.

    eUTXO is interesting, but Chuck is a hype merchant and people failed to realise how long it'd take to develop everything again from scratch

    And thankfully there is a PoW chain that also runs eUTXO, has even more expressive smart contracts, optional privacy built into the core, and a fair launch with no VCs. (Ergo)

    Outwith that, Bitcoin Cash is also interesting. They don't have an expressive smart contract language, but have achieved some complex defi with token scripting + off chain. Some cool Lunarpunk projects like DarkFi too although they are private by default so not suitable for mass appeal. But yeah, if Satoshi were still active he'd have forced 90% of the space to call themselves something other than crypto as it's an insult to the original vision.

  • Not all memecoins are scams, some are just memes and are 100% community distributed.

    People also usually know what they’re getting with memecoins.

    The VC backed shite is far scammier. They actually lie, manipulate the price and dump their tokens for maximum profit.

    And Wdym established currencies with their own blockchains? You can mint tokens on solana, cardano and plenty of others.
