@guffo I dunno, the stupidity of NFTs still hold up for me. It’s literally owning numbers associated with a thing that gives you no special rights or uses to that thing. The purest possible grift. Does anything really beat that?
AI is infuriating, and causes lots of harm, but I don’t think its main vice is that its a dumb idea.

@Zoonpolitikon @guffo Yeah, as annoying as the AI hype is, the technology at least does something where NFTs were obviously, colossally pointless. Even if AI is worse all round, it's not as dumb.

@Zoonpolitikon @guffo You don't even own numbers. You cannot apply intellectual property regulations to 42 or pi. You own a number in a specific system that assigns numbers.
