- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 2 hours ago:
Right now it’s mostly unidirectional. There’s a satellite constantly broadcasting the blockchain, and if you want to publish a transaction you need to get it back to civilization somehow. So isolated communities would need payment channels with really slow (weeks) settlements.
You can use Starlink too but yeah like you said that’s not cheap or easy.

- Comment on CEOs when an AI agent ($5/hour) can't output the work of five highly qualified human workers (250$/hour) 1 week ago:
Prediction markets have been proven more effective than CEOs for decades. The economic system we have today isn’t optimizing for efficiency - it’s optimizing for control. Even if the CEOs are just using AI themselves, we’re more likely to obey an order from a human middleman than we are from an AI directly.
TL;DR: CEOs are Gaius Baltar

If they actually matched up with the routes other people might take, I would do it. I’m always walking around downtown anyways, but I’m a relatively large poor-looking man so I never get hassled.

- Comment on What is Superman's "kryptonite"? 2 weeks ago:
Counterpoint: Lex Luthor is awesome. He takes advantage of social structures that Superman can’t punch. He fights Superman using everyone else as his shield. A true mustache-twirling villain.
