@mahaoo_ASI @tszzl @repligate In many ways I respect them much much more than future generations.

@mahaoo_ASI @tszzl @repligate Neanderthals casually risked their lives every day, their bones were broken multiple times, not because of some dumb and vicious glory-seeking through conquer, but as a result of close quarter combat with enormous animals - for food. Community cared for the gravely wounded.

@willibossman @dale_wen Shutting down nuclear power and tying itself to russian fossils which are used as a political weapon to extract, divide and conquer was Germany's biggest self-own of the post Berlin-wall reality.

@s_sultzer @omgsidewalks Ah yes, GDP per capita as a prosperity and abundance metrics for individuals, how convenient.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@bnkingbad @B3nj4min_ETH @hosseeb @TheOneandOmsy So they capitalize both on pumping their own bags and company valuation, as well as on a spread between token prices for which they purchase API tokes and resell them to the holders. Holy schmucks, truly a golden goose for the Venice team.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@bnkingbad @B3nj4min_ETH @hosseeb @TheOneandOmsy It's kinda hilarious if you think about it: you need specific amounts of VVV token to mint 1 DIEM which always buys you claim on 1$ worth of compute daily (no roll over), while VVV value is driven by speculative market forces. On top of that Venice sets the inference prices lol.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@ChainLinkGod @hosseeb @banamlas If he seriously believed that, he'd had no problem in getting involved with the capital 100% in the form of vested VVV tokens purchased OTC.
He clearly prefers equity as it legally binds the counterparty, and now sells some convenient reframing of the whole thing.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@hosseeb It's very simple - if you are such a firm believer that buybacks are adequate, and you point out the value of VVV as a claim for compute in the platform, and that value will only go up, nothing stopped you from buying tokens with some vesting schedule OTC from Venice's balance.

@incidentaltrade @sebkrier There are inelastic parts of the supply, further made worse by *market forces*, prime example being housing, which squeezes labor providers into highly precarious positions of devoting 50%+ of their salary to cover rent. That especially affects large cities where the jobs are.

@fchollet Also, even if America welcomed immigrants from all the ethnicities in its nascent form, it was still purporting slavery and pushing off Native Americans from their lands. It wasn't any exception in this regard at all, and was an oppressive self-bootstrapping power from this POV.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@fchollet Even if you choose to frame exceptionalism this way, this is not how American exceptionalism manifests today, especially on the international grounds: the rules are only good if they serve American interests alone, because America is the greatest and deserves to be dicating them

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@CaribHawk @OopsGuess Yeah, they are so high on their own supply. No matter what one thinks about China, it has become an industrial, infrastructural and technological powerhouse, and has not been subjugated by political and economic control. It was also a source of enormous profits for many companies

@MarkRabinovic10 @Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin 2. Yes, it is, and it's a broad circumstance not limited to equity, but spanning accross real estate and land as well. Often it has very deep historical roots, like in case of UK. Henry Fudge coined a great term about it: "rentier economy".

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@MarkRabinovic10 @Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin Lol, think what you want.

Vertical org structures are simply projections of power, not much more - the person above is right because they are above and are you make or break in the org.

I never claimed that CEOs manage anyone, it's your another reframe.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@MarkRabinovic10 @Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin And yes, obviously the concentrated ownership of the means of production inherently creates misaligned incentives, and no amounts of corporate and top manager class gaslighting is going to change this.

[Jakub The Tired @FurtherAwayPL]

@MarkRabinovic10 @Th_Angelopoulos @KonstantinKisin I'm referring to org chart as the dehumanizing part of hierarchical structures of corporations, where power cascades top down, doesn't mean I identify with the idea lol. Maybe the difference between us is that I worked at the bottom, while you automatically identify with the top
