Mataroa on the madness of using AI

I Will … Piledrive You If You Mention AI Again — Ludicity

An executive at an institution that provides students with important credentials, used to verify suitability for potentially lifesaving work and immigration law, asked me if I could detect students cheating. I was going to say "No, probably not"... but I had a suspicion, so I instead said "I might be able to, but I'd estimate that upwards of 50% of the students are currently cheating which would have some serious impacts on the bottom line as we'd have to suspend them. Should I still investigate?"

We haven't spoken about it since.

Avalon Nano 3


For about €125 you can be the proud owner of an electric home heater that earns itself back (a little bit) when being used, by mining for Bitcoin.

WatchParty


Watch videos together with friends anywhere. 


What if my video is an MP4 file but hosted on a site that's blocked in Russia, say www.jw.org. Can I watch together with a friend over there, yes or no?  

We throw around "anywhere" a lot, but the free world is shrinking 🤔

Zapper - send tips to any event on Nostr


I want to embed an iframe into all my blogs to enable "zapping" aka Bitcoin Lightning ⚡️ payments. 

It seems this company has an easy solution for this: https://zapper.nostrapps.org/

Current ₿ price of $0.07m could last another 245 days before miner stashes are exhausted.


#Bitcoin miners have according to this chart, another 1.75m coins ready to be sold. 

This explains why the price isn't rising even with $500m-1bn inflows into ETFs per day. 

At  current price  we  have  245  more  days  to  go  before  we  could  break #btc at $0.07m. If the miners stop selling, all bets are off of course.
