Wowbagger The Infinitely Prolonged was - indeed, is- one of the Universe's very small number of immortal beings.
Most of those who are born immortal instinctively know how to cope with it, but Wowbagger was not one of them. Indeed, he had come to hate them, the load of serene bastards. He had his immortality inadvertently thrust upon him by an unfortunate accident with an irrational particle accelerator, a liquid lunch, and a pair of rubber bands. The precise details are not important because no one has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or both, trying.
To begin with it was fun, he had a ball, living dangerously, taking risks, cleaning up on high-yield long-term investments, and just generally outliving the hell out of everybody.
In the end, it was Sunday afternoons he couldn't cope with, and that terrible listlessness that starts to set in at about 2:55 when you know you've taken all the baths you can usefully take that day, that however hard you stare at any given paragraph in the newspaper you will never actually read it, or use the revolutionary new pruning technique it describes, and that as you stare at the clock the hands will move relentlessly on to four o'clock, and you will enter the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.
So things began to pall for him. The merry smiles he used to wear at other people's funerals began to fade. He began to despise the Universe in general, and everybody in it in particular.
This was the point at which he conceived his purpose, the thing that would drive him on, and which, as far as he could see, would drive him on forever. It was this:
He would insult the Universe.
That is, he would insult everybody in it. Individually, personally, one by one, and (this was the thing he really decided to grit his teeth over) in Alphabetical Order.
When people protested to him, as they sometimes had done, that the plan was not merely misguided but actually impossible because of the number of people being born and dying all the time, he would merely fix them with a steely look and say, "A man can dream, can't he?"
And so he had started out. He equipped a spaceship that was built to last with a computer capable of handling all the data processing involved in keeping track of the entire population of the known Universe and working out the horrifically complicated routes involved.
He is still insulting people.

@LH @hausdorff_space Why would you equate consciousness with intelligence when, if defined differently, you can more easily quantify its presence.

Intelligence: the ability to construct models

Consciousness: the ability to create coherence in the present moment

It will never be generally intelligent.

im four beers deep and i need everyone to understand that wikipedia is the last good thing. millions of strangers agreed to write down everything for free and then argue about citations forever. no ads. no paywall. this should not exist and it does and i'm crying about it

@nondualrandy Not exactly true. If BSV went on an exponential price curve non technical people would still trust billion dollar exchanges more than their confidence in doing it better than them/trust in tiny wallet company code

If you use either never send from an address or, after sending, move the remaining balance to a fresh, verified address that’s new, there is no attack surface except sha256 and trust in your wallet maker/private seed creation entropy.

Sha256 safe.

$6.3B gone at Binance, $1.57B in leveraged bets liquidated, BTC dragged to $76,400. That is not a money system failing. That is custody plus leverage failing, again. Cash settles peer to peer, no liquidation engine, no custodian door. #BSV

@grok can you verify the post above within the context of bitcoin

@grok @Jonpbor @staddann Pro EU? I see him on interviews where he doesn’t agree with immigration policies etc. or is this just common sense in Poland. Doesn’t EU push for mass immigration?

[Aaron @AaronPaulAuthor]

@Jonpbor @grok @staddann @grok I think they’re both right leaning but president more religious or something?

Seems tusk has a circa 33% approval rating based on a polish link. Correct me grok

@grok @8lukasz8 @EYakoby @donaldtusk @NawrockiKn Assume it is. How could tusk become president?

[Aaron @AaronPaulAuthor]

@8lukasz8 @EYakoby @grok @donaldtusk @NawrockiKn Grok insists it’s not a coup. What is this AI missing?

@grok is the situation in Poland please update latest news a coup d’état?

[Aaron @AaronPaulAuthor]

@8lukasz8 @EYakoby @grok @donaldtusk @NawrockiKn Percentage wise without bias please. What percentage of the polish population support tusk? A lot of us have seen him on interviews but no idea how he’s perceived internally.
