@atmoio You are still a standards enforcer. "Struggle" is not the goal. Practical results are the goal. Just use the AI tools to elevate your ability to execute and improve the standards you are aiming for. Fall in love with the practical process and utility of your AI-created software.
@thewaronbeauty She misses the point: tools don’t act on their own. A hammer won’t strike, and a robot won’t move, without a human mind directing them. Great art isn’t in the tool, it’s in the quality of the creator’s value judgments.
@davidpattersonx Knowledge is gained by a focused mind employing reason to identify the nature of existence. Intelligence is the capacity of a mind to power that process. A more powerful mind reaches further, faster. There's no reason to think this is limited.
@Cleverlydey4u High-strength rebar (Gr 80+) generally requires a minimum bend diameter of 8d–10d. High yield strength reduces ductility. The steel lacks the plastic capacity to stretch around tight curves, causing immediate tensile failure on the outer radius. Grade 60 can do 6d bends.
@elonmusk Ayn Rand exposed the destructive nature of altruism, what we might call suicidal empathy, long ago. She showed why altruism is evil and why rational self-interest is the moral alternative. More people should read The Virtue of Selfishness and her novels.
@PeterSchiff Gold’s long-term price is limited by its production cost. more mining means more supply and price will track production cost. Bitcoin’s supply doesn’t respond to price; the protocol enforces scarcity. That’s why it’s superior for storing purchasing power long range.
@elonmusk@grok Pure, laissez-faire capitalism is the only social system that fully protects individual rights—because it bans all initiations of force, including economic.

@jimmy_wales Banks can hold your bitcoin/gold if you don't trust yourself with your passwords. The problem bitcoin solves is fiat money debasement/controls. #bitcoin is freedom.
@DefiMoon Something to consider is: If you exist savers fast you will pay a very high fee. So there is a strong incentive to not rush out. The protocol will take all your profits if you act in reckless way. The right incentives makes for a solid system.
