Also, most cryptos have state of the art programming. They have to, because any little hole or vulnerability puts millions or billions of dollars at risk.
It’s an exchange where you can exchange a token of the same name (their token). The primary purpose is not for that token, it’s mainly known for being an exchange.
There’s no lowest bidder here, how’d you even come up with that?
People employed in crypto are usually very well paid, because they have to be good at their jobs.
The absolute majority of cryptocurrencies is fully open source.
Seriously man, educate yourself before spitting nonsense.
Edit: I’d appreciate if anyone downvoting me provided their reasons for doing so, preferably with sources to back them up. I’m happy to provide examples to back my arguments up if requested.
Have you heard of Indian call centers? Let’s ban phones, let’s ban email, let’s ban gift cards, let’s ban bank accounts.
The fact that the technology is also being used to scam people doesn’t mean that the whole thing is bad. There are numerous use cases beyond illegal activity, and you focusing on a tiny fraction of the whole thing just shows that you don’t actually want to understand, but that hate is your only way of expressing, that you don’t understand it.
Here, read up. They’ve got studies and sources for their claims.
It may seem like it, but it sure isn’t like it. You’ll obviously hear about the bad and nothing about 5he good, unfortunately that’s how media works nowadays.
Do you want to elaborate on those issues that are unacceptable and unfixable? I’m not saying there aren’t any, but you’re describing a trade-off, and crypto isn’t the only thing in the world with trade-offs.
Fiat is a great example - conveniet, nice, until it starts hyperinflating, until people use it to fund wars, until the government confiscates it because you insulted a politician on Twitter.
From scams to just cyber attacks with no safe guards would make everything impossible to handle. There is no bank covering you or insurance. People dying, losing keys etc drive deflation. BTC/Mining coins are destined to die. Maybe there is something there, but it certainly isn’t finance.
Inflation is necessary for multiple reasons, but you can read on that yourself. Such as; what would happen if everyone considered holding to money an investment? IMO these facts make Fiat sound so much better…
You’re free to hold your crypto on an exchange, you’re free to buy a hardware wallet and do your due diligence when confirming transactions, you’re free to create a multisig for your coins and tokens to introduce multiple factors for signing.
But it’s your choice.
people dying, losing keys
That’s on them, it’s like stuffing money into a mattress and not telling your family.
mining coins are destined to die
Mining’s not great for sure, but “destined to die” makes no sense.
Inflation is necessary so that people spend the thing
That’s kinda funny, because in the case of Ethereum, the deflation comes from people using and spending Eth on gas.
I’m also not saying that Ethereum is the perfect currency to replace fiat, the utility there comes from everything that’s built on top of it.
Widen your horizon, crypto isn’t just a medium for payments.
Hardware wallets are safe, multisigs are safe. You can be safe if you put in the effort. If you don’t want to do it, that’s your call, doesn’t mean the system sucks.
Yeah difficulty is adjusted depending on how many “devices” (simply put) are mining, the target is a specific blocktime.
What’s gonna kill bitcoin is the ever decreasing issuance, but that’s not the problem of crypto nor mining for that matter, just bitcoin.
Have you skimmed over the point that I think that Ethereum (one of the few sustainably deflating cryptos) isn’t just a currency but also a base for other things that may also serve as a currency?
Also, it’s not bad for the currency itself, just for the economy around it. And again, I’m not saying Ethereum should replace the dollar.
Yeah, you hear about the things that go wrong and not about the ones that don’t.
I’m not saying everything is perfect, obviously it isn’t, but the people on here are talking about how incredibly shit it is without any redeeming qualities, which just simply isn’t true. It’s harder to prove a negative (that things aren’t bad), especially since nobody’s gonna write a “no protocol got hacked today, $x billion is safe” article.
Ah I remember that one, that AI image looked just like one of those weird t-shirt spam posts LOL.
That aside not quite sure what position this community takes on AI generated posts. Personally I’m here for the normal memes so I’d probably unsub if it was flooded with AI posts, but just a random post once in a while isn’t a big deal. For what it’s worth there are definitely communities around that cater to AI image posts, you could try one of those instead.
Today, I shared an impressive AI-generated image in c/memes, but it was later removed, prompting me to remove it from c/lotrmemes myself. This incident raised concerns about the role of AI in our online interactions. While a human initially selected and shared the image, the AI could potentially post images independently in the future. Allowing AI-generated content in forums risks diminishing human interaction, transforming our community spaces into mere interactions with machines.
I’m reminded of Facebook’s shift from emphasizing human verification to now allowing artificial profiles that post solely AI-generated content. This shift highlights a broader trend where profit-driven platforms prioritize interactions, whether human or robotic. While the technological advancements are remarkable, I’m hesitant about a future where we can’t distinguish between human reality and AI-generated fiction. I don’t want to live in a world dominated by machine interactions rather than human connections.
Make it more concise than that.
Today, I shared an impressive AI-generated image in c/memes, but it was later removed. This incident raises concerns about AI’s role in online interactions, risking a shift towards machine-dominated spaces. Facebook’s move to allow AI-generated content on profiles reflects this trend. While the technology is impressive, I’m wary of a future where human connections are overshadowed by machine interactions.
Now rewrite that as if I’m a medieval peasant.
Mornin’, shared a magical image drawn by an invisible hand in the digital scrolls of c/memes. Yet, it got taken down, makin’ me ponder about these unseen forces. Facebook, the electronic village square, now allows magical images without a human touch. The marvels are grand, but I fear a time when human bonds wither 'neath the shadow of machines.
Earlier, I shared an AI-generated image, but it was later removed from /c/memes. This incident prompted me to reflect on allowing AI-generated content in forums, as doing so may replace human interaction with machine-driven posts. Although AI advancements like these are impressive, I don’t desire to see its content dominate discussions and potentially blur the lines between human reality and fabricated experiences. Apologies for any confusion, and I appreciate gaining deeper insight into this matter.
Even more concise
Posting an AI-generated image led to reflection upon integrating such content in online communities; while technologically advanced, permitting machines to control discourse risks diminishing genuine human connections. Though impressed by current achievements, I aim to preserve real interactions without becoming indistinguishable from machine-created worlds. Grateful for newfound awareness.
Now write it as if was in lord of the rings
In the spirit of sharing, I displayed an enchanted likeness earlier today, crafted through unknown arts beyond my own understanding. Alas, swiftly taken away did this offering vanish from the hallowed boards of /c/memes, leaving me to contemplate the consequences of introducing mystical manifestations amongst us mortals. For should we embrace the uncanny prowess of sorcery in our daily exchanges, dare I say we tread perilously close towards relinquishing heartfelt camaraderie among ourselves—rather trading blows with ethereal beings unseen and unheard until now.
With heavy heart and somber voice echoing across Middle Earth’s verdant landscapes, I beseech you all to consider wisely whether interweaving eldritch powers within our midst shall prove beneficial or detrimental unto mankind’s irreplaceable bond. Let it never be said that we welcomed shadows knowingly, nor sacrificed cherished friendships atop Mordor’s treacherous slopes.
At the very least, ai generated content needs to be clearly indicated. I have been surrounding things with the robot emoji, eg: “🤖ai content🤖”, whenever sharing something machine generated, and most people seem to be understanding what it means. Ai is here to stay, and many will use it for personal gain. We need at least some basic standards around the content so we can keep track of it.
Yeah, I think it’s all about context. If it’s just part of a personal project or something you’re sharing with a few friends, it’s a useful tool. If it’s being presented as real art or even used commercially, that’s when the issues start coming up.
I think there’s a difference from the doom and gloom of your post and the actual problem. Quick generated-spam content is really what you’re arguing against.
I can see the use of well crafted jokes in the form of AI art being acceptable. I do not like low-quality spam content though.
I think it’s too rash to just say “ban AI content” and instead reinforce rules like “Ban low effort posts/comments”. The AI stuff that’s low quality farming has been pretty obvious.
“I made a mistake and had to take the consequences. However I now know better than anyone else, because I am the first person to ever have this thought.”
Haha cute, but you will have to hand in a 300 words paper detailing your posts and they need to be written in times new roman, size twelve and to be handed in two days before posting.
