@ScottPh77711570 Are we at the point where we can realize it's AI written and we enjoy it anyway?
I read this line and immediately knew this was AI
> "Whatever. A negotiation had opened and the other party declined to attend."
Still was fun read
I notice that coding LLM's code usually doesn't have clear bugs, but often times is not the ideal approach either and would create issues later on.
Domain knowledge and VERY careful code review to steer it in the right direction are still essential.
@MartinShkreli ASML's PPE is 8b, so apple should just build their own 2nm chips. According to our bro here, moats and intellectual property don't exist
@KrisAbdelmessih@a_m_mastroianni People use it as therapy and cry while reading the AI response when it's an emotionally charged subject (for them). It's well documented. Whether or not those feelings meet your "substantial" bar, I can't know.
@billdozer6900@Derivatives_Ape What even is this question... are you rage baiting me because bitcoin is a literal ledger/registry?
Like in any civil case, claimants would show evidence like their exchange buy order, withdrawal address, cold card, etc. and the police or a judge would decide if it's been proven
@DuaneStorey@Derivatives_Ape stolen*
I agree nothing is perfect. Too many ways of getting devalued by 100% (i know way too many people that bought a house and proceeded get 100% devalued by either an earthquake or a flood, and people that held fiat through hyperinflation)
@DuaneStorey@Derivatives_Ape Governments are incentivized to devalue and debase your currency, not protect it or "back it" as you say.
Politicians gain votes and power by sacrificing the future in favor of short-term gains. The result below is the inescapable consequence. It's fiat fundamental property.
@DuaneStorey@Derivatives_Ape I thought that was fiat, no? Where bureaucrats magically print ones and zeroes and call it USD.
Bitcoin's 1s and 0s at least are deterministic, makes them less magic imo
But I agree that the only way to argue that this was not theft is to argue that bitcoin is not property
@haojun222@Derivatives_Ape I perfectly understand how private keys work.
Stealing is stealing, it doesn't matter if the mechanism for theft is guessing chars.
Did those bitcoin have an owner? Yes. Did the robber take possession of those bitcoin without the owner's authorization? Also yes. Therefor theft
@haojun222@Derivatives_Ape Your literal argument:
"But grabbing someone else's property is literally moving your arm and closing your hand. If u happened to close your hand on someone else's wallet and it had cash in it, is it a crime [to take it]?"
@tenslein@Derivatives_Ape Finders keepers is generally illegal when talking about valuable property (unless you make efforts with authorities to locate the owner and no owner is found)
@Derivatives_Ape There is no precedent of code is law. The precedent is the exact opposite.
Avraham did market manipulation and the court ruled that New York simply didn't have jurisdiction over that defi market.
But in the cold card case there is direct theft of individuals property.
@tenslein@Derivatives_Ape You can't even legally keep treasure hidden in the dirt without first surrendering the property to authorities while attempts are made to locate the owner.
And don't even get me started on how bitcoin is not "essentially treasure hidden in the dirt"
@TheCryptoDog You still need a paper with your seed even if you have a hardware wallet (as backup in case your hardware breaks)
They have completely different uses
