I program SwordSearcher Bible Software, I play old games on my Commodore 64, and I homeschool my kids.

@andrewklavan If any of this is accurate, this is the first Nolan film I'll pass on. I don't understand why he would "gin up interest" by making his movie look so ridiculous. Typically you want to "gin up interest" by making it look, um, interesting, not ridiculous. Off to watch Tenet again.

@BobMurphyEcon I work with Claude on a massive corpus daily. It's wonderful. Ot automates cognition. But anyone calling it conscious is delusional and too easily impressed.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@CalebJenkins I don't see a problem.

@SilentKnight314 @commodoreofcl @majornelson @TiaCarrere Proper reference!

@jimmysong Been using it for a while now. Developers who won't use AI to write code will fall behind REAL fast. AI won't replace developers, but developers who use AI will replace developers who don't.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@MattWalshBlog I don't think anyone is interested in an "AI story." That is not the point. I would be interested in stories that Hollywood won't produce. I think the point is, more people will have the opportunity to tell stories without the gatekeepers in Hollywood getting in the way.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@DougTenNapel The comments are so clueless. it took half a century to go from black and white to surround sound in movies. AI has been at this for a couple of years. The content may not be "good" yet, but that's hardly the point.

@RapidResponse47 Looks like a good start! But 0.1 is still a long way down...

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@orthodoxbitcoin The nodes are the network. You don't like that, go to etherium and play your stupid games where top-down tells everyone what's right. Bitcoin is messy, always has been. Live with it or get lost.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@FieldNas Well, only if people actually take the update. Core is lost. Let's hope node runners are paying attention and just don't take the update.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@FieldNas You're assuming there is general knowledge and understanding about what is happening. There is not.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

Beside the obvious fact that Core devs have blocked these kinds of comments in the past, the reality is that most people considering upgrading their software are not going to scour comments on PRs. X is a perfectly appropriate way to engage discussion -- especially since the SOP of Core on Github is to gatekeep and not engage.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@jimmysong This whole thing is amateur-hour. This is not how you handle a 2+ trillion asset. These people are not serious. Or if they are, they are serious about an unstated motive. Either way, nobody should be installing their code any more.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

Well, I've been coding for a living for 30 years. Believe me when I say that the vocal Core developers come off as completely ignorant and inexperienced. They don't have even the most basic understanding of what they are doing on a macro level. They completely miss the fact that software is developed for people to use, and the users of the software matter far more than the designers of the software. They are utterly clueless about the purpose of the software they develop.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@boomer_btc @btcmackc Unfortunately, using a phrase like "low time preference" puts you squarely in the derided "non-technical" camp and ignored by Core. They have no understanding of the reasons why people actually run the software they develop. Anyway, thank you for being principled.

@jordanbush Self-custody is not just for Bitcoin.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@jimmysong The patent has expired.

@wearecommodore Admire the glossy box

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@FieldNas Saylor has been saying for years that funding developers to work on Bitcoin is a bad idea. Now we see the dangers of having people working on Bitcoin not because they want to protect their savings but because they are being paid to churn out code.

[₿randon @brandonstaggs]

@greg16676935420 We have one. Sorry you can't patent this idea. Amazon search FTW. :-)
