Australia is planning on banning under 16s from using social media.

So so many reasons this is a stupid idea but the main one is actually, counter-intuitively, ppl's online safety.

Grown ups know how to cross the road safely because they are taught as children. They get to practice with parental supervision when they're kids.

You keep kids off social media then give them unlimited access at 16 and they'll have no frame of reference, no supervision, no working knowledge of how to fact check etc. If you actually want ppl to be safe online, make it part of education.

When discussing Animal Farm in English, talk about how to analyse ideas that sound good but actually result in inequality in practice and then pull up some questionable tweets.

When teaching kids how to research for their next essay, give them a fb rant and show them how to verify the info.

And then whoever is teaching them about personal responsibility should introduce them to tag blocking on tumblr. Show them how to curate their own experience.

Chat gtp should be its own module titled "ai can and will lie to you please for the love of god learn to think for yourself"

Lately because of my job I have to reluctantly use Gemini for the sake of testing it (for context I work as a mobile QA tester. Not gonna say any more than that because I'm a big fan of not doxxing myself) and after having to repeatedly try it for days I started noticing a couple of things.

First things first: When critics say genAI is basically just a fancy autocomplete, that is a huge understatement.

Since my tests consist of giving it various prompts and making sure the answers are correct, I had to look closely at the answers. And aside from bugs like it randomly coughing up words in Russian which I mean, that's what I'm there to help fix, I started noticing quickly that a lot of the responses are basically identical.

Sure, the context may vary depending on what exactly I ask it, but the phrases? The ways of speech? They're basically the same. Hell, sometimes it reuses entire paragraphs.

And to be clear, it's not like tendencies or patterns of an actual human writer. Rather it's like it takes a preexisting module of the response and just adds the appropriate words to make it make sense.

And sure, bugs aside it's technically correct, but at the same time it's eerily uncanny because no human genuinely writes like this all the time. Again, it's a fancy autocomplete, nothing more. It's like writing an essay by picking the suggested words from the phone and have it just happen to make sense somehow.

When you realize what genAI actually is and recognize the patterns... well, that's a hell of a lot less impressive than what all the techbros make it out to be, right?

Which leads to my second point- Ironically, now that I've been forced to use it repeatedly, I'm not afraid of genAI replacing writers and artists. Not anymore.

I've heard a few people say that there is no genuine threat of genAI replacing authors and essays or students passing by submitted works generated with it because genAI... can't actually write.

I was skeptical of this at first- after all, capitalism loves prioritizing cutting costs over quality (nevermind the sheer amount of electricity this thing wastes but I digress), so why would companies care as long as it's passable?

But honestly, I think I get it now.

Remember, I noticed entire paragraphs and sections being practically copypasted, and this is only after a few short responses. And I haven't study a thing about academic writing or linguistics, most I've done is write fanfiction whenever the planets happen to align.

Can you imagine having Gemini, ChatGPT or whatever write a book or heck, even an entire novel and trying to get it published into mainstream? It'd immediately get clocked out and laughed at like it rightfully deserves.

Now, I'm not naive. Again, capitalism. Companies will keep shoving genAI down our throats as long as they can get away with it (especially since they now have employees "correct" the generated works which is more work than having them make it from scratch. Best possible system amirite?)... but at the same time the fact they keep pushing it this aggressively says a lot, doesn't it?

genAI is already starting to cannibalizing itself. Ironically, by now plagiarizing those works it already made by plagiarizing actual artists and writers and now pollute the Internet. And considering how much electricity it costs to keep these things running...

Well. I'm no financial expert, but all these aggressive tactics sure sound like sunken cost fallacy, don't they?

Just saying. If this was a thing people actually wanted or used, every tech company under the sun wouldn't practically force us to use it (always opt-out of course, never opt-in) with increasingly hidden buttons to turn it off. Microsoft wouldn't passive-aggressively announce Edge now having genAI features with "Resistance is futile". Musk wouldn't feel the need to slap a button under every art post on Twitter to plagiarize it with its genAI and then pretend those original works were also generated with it.

It'd be a feature like any other, with no need to push it so aggressively. This reads more like "please, please you HAVE to use our genAI, we wasted millions on this", because just like NFTs, they've always been a pyramid scheme. This one was just better at hiding it and appeal to the average person. Ironically, I think they of all people know they can't push this for long the most.

I still despise genAI for everything it represents- the wastefulness and disregard for the environment, the confusing buzzwords of the techbros who are in love with it and most of all, the utter contempt and lack of respect society has for artists, writers and anyone who has done any kind of creative work- and I truly think it can't die soon enough.

But having to use it so much for work ironically gave me confidence it will die someday. It's not even a hope, more like the logical conclusion.

Because genAI is not the future, is not an exciting new technology, is not revolutionary and most importantly is not a replacement for artists and writers.

It's just a fancy autocomplete.

Life in a Bubble: How Technological Revolutions Shape Society

Once upon a time, owning a television was an extraordinary luxury. Families gathered around small, grainy screens, captivated by black-and-white broadcasts that seemed magical at the time. Fast-forward to today, and we laugh at the thought of having just one screen—let alone one without color, HD, or streaming capabilities. Ever notice how every significant technological breakthrough feels monumental, only to become obsolete as soon as the next innovation arrives?

Understanding the Technological Bubble

Technological bubbles occur when groundbreaking innovations redefine societal norms, behaviors, and expectations. Each advancement creates its own bubble of influence—initially expanding as adoption grows, then ultimately bursting when a newer technology emerges.

Consider the evolution of televisions:

First Bubble: Black-and-white TVs revolutionized entertainment, bringing the world into living rooms for the first time.

Second Bubble: Color TVs popped the original bubble, making monochrome obsolete and setting a new standard.

Third Bubble: Flat-screen and HD televisions burst the color-TV bubble, making bulky sets feel like relics of the past.

Each bubble transformed society, influencing consumer behaviors, shifting economic landscapes, and altering our perception of normalcy.

Historical Echoes

Technological bubbles aren’t exclusive to televisions. They repeat throughout history, reshaping reality each time:

Communication: Letters → telephones → smartphones.

Music: Vinyl → cassettes → CDs → MP3 → streaming.

Internet: Dial-up → broadband → Wi-Fi → mobile connectivity.

Every bubble expanded rapidly, enveloping society in its new standards before bursting and being replaced by something even more revolutionary.

The Mother of All Bubbles

Today, we're living inside perhaps the largest technological bubble humanity has ever known: the global fiat monetary system and traditional finance. Like previous bubbles, this system feels unshakeable, inevitable, and everlasting. But like every bubble before it, it's ripe for disruption—this time, by decentralized technologies like Bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't just a new type of money; it’s a radical departure from centralized financial control:

Decentralization vs. Centralization: Bitcoin puts financial power back into the hands of individuals.

Transparency vs. Secrecy: Blockchain technology makes financial transactions visible, verifiable, and resistant to manipulation.

Scarcity vs. Inflation: Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin has a capped supply, protecting against endless monetary inflation.

This next bubble is growing, quietly expanding in the shadows of mainstream finance, and it has the potential to burst the financial bubble we've lived in for generations.

What Happens When the Biggest Bubble Pops?

Imagine a world where financial control no longer rests in the hands of governments and banks, but with the people. When the fiat bubble bursts:

Financial Sovereignty: Individuals gain unprecedented financial autonomy and responsibility.

Power Redistribution: Central banks and financial institutions must adapt or risk obsolescence.

Societal Shifts: Our collective understanding of money, value, and community could be entirely redefined.

This transition won’t be without challenges. Initial instability and fierce resistance from established systems are inevitable. Yet, the opportunity for increased transparency, fairness, and efficiency makes this burst not just likely but necessary.

Preparing for the Pop

Every technological bubble eventually bursts. The question isn't if, but when. Understanding and recognizing this process enables us to position ourselves advantageously for the inevitable shift. Embracing the next technological wave means stepping beyond comfort zones and preparing to thrive in an evolved landscape.

What is DeepSeek and the $6 Million Side Project - Causing a Stir in the AI Industry

DeepSeek AI and the $6 Million Side Project That’s Causing a Stir in the Industry

So lets talk about DeepSeek. I couldn’t believe it was developed on just $6 million. In a world where AI projects routinely burn through hundreds of millions, here was this “side project” that was outperforming tech giants like ChatGPT and Gemini. A David and Goliath story? For movie fun it kind of reminds for of this scene from Tron Legacy, when Flynn dumped the ENCOM OS online for…

[ratsonass]

generative ai is not uniquely evil, its just another form of technology that makes it more convenient to pull off bad shit that already existed. people already spread mass slop and misinformation on the internet, and industries were already fucking over artists and whatnot. genai is just a tool that makes those things a little easier to do. not to mention that the amount of resources used on genai is comparable to many other internet functions and youre definitely cherrypicking if you think its the only form of technology that has a massive negative environmental impact.

girl help i'm romanticizing academia and doing research again

[multi-lefaiye]

my spicy hot take regarding AI chatbots lying to people is that, no, the chatbot isn't lying. chatgpt is not lying. it's not capable of making the conscious decision to lie to you. that doesn't mean it's providing factual information, though, because that's not what it's meant to do (despite how it's being marketed and portrayed). chatgpt is a language learning model simply predicting what responses are most probable based on established parameters.

it's not lying, it's providing the most statistically likely output based on its training data. and that includes making shit up.

[orcelito]

Wild to me that people choose to be in whatever field ever and here I am accidentally an IT person. Like some people went to school to be dentists. And what do I do? Look at computers, I guess. It doesn't feel like much of a specialty.

Hyperbitcoinization: What Happens When Bitcoin Wins?

For years, Bitcoiners have been shouting into the void, warning of the inevitable collapse of fiat money. At first, they were ignored. Then ridiculed. But slowly, the world is waking up. The cracks in the legacy financial system are no longer hidden beneath the surface—they are gaping wounds for all to see. And as trust in central banks, governments, and the endless printing of money erodes, something new is emerging from the ashes.

Bitcoin.

The world’s first decentralized, incorruptible, and finite form of money. A system that doesn’t ask for trust, but demands proof.

Hyperbitcoinization is not just Bitcoin adoption. It is the total, irreversible collapse of fiat currency as people reject money that loses value in favor of money that cannot be debased. It is the moment when Bitcoin is no longer just an asset—it becomes the standard. And when that happens, everything changes.

The Death of Inflation

Inflation is a silent tax, a creeping theft that erodes the purchasing power of every dollar you own. But in a Bitcoin world, inflation dies. There are only 21 million Bitcoin—ever. No government, no central bank, no self-serving politician can conjure more into existence. What you earn, what you save, retains its value. Wealth, for the first time in modern history, is not stolen through the backdoor of monetary debasement.

With the demise of inflation, the desperate scramble to make money work—gambling in stocks, chasing speculative bubbles, trusting in debt-ridden financial products—fades. People can simply store value in Bitcoin, knowing that it will not lose purchasing power over time. Hard work and discipline are rewarded. The time preference of humanity shifts from short-term consumption to long-term building.

The End of Government-Controlled Money

When hyperbitcoinization takes hold, governments lose the ability to print their way out of bad decisions. War, debt, corruption—these things thrive in a system where money can be created at will. When governments are forced to operate on a Bitcoin standard, they must tax honestly, spend responsibly, and live within their means. The reckless expansion of the state, funded by the illusion of endless credit, collapses. Power returns to the people.

For individuals, this means financial sovereignty. No more frozen bank accounts. No more arbitrary rules on how and when you can access your own money. No more middlemen siphoning off fees and dictating the terms of your economic freedom. Your wealth belongs to you and you alone, stored in a system that no one controls and no one can take away.

A World Without Banks

The traditional banking system thrives on permission and control. It decides who can send money, how much they can send, and when they can send it. But Bitcoin renders these gatekeepers obsolete.

With Bitcoin, every person on earth has access to a global financial network. A farmer in Nigeria, a software developer in Argentina, a truck driver in Canada—each of them has the same financial power as the wealthiest billionaire. No discrimination, no barriers, no approval required.

Banks will not disappear overnight, but their role will change. Instead of controlling money, they will be forced to compete for customers based on value-added services. And if they fail to adapt? They will fade into irrelevance, just as other obsolete industries have before them.

Preparing for the Shift: DCA into Bitcoin

The question is not if hyperbitcoinization happens, but when. And the best way to prepare is to start accumulating Bitcoin now, before the world wakes up.

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the smartest, simplest way to do this. By buying Bitcoin regularly—whether daily, weekly, or monthly—you remove emotion from the equation. No stressing over price swings, no panic during market dips. Just steady accumulation of the hardest money ever created.

For those who have already embraced Bitcoin, this is second nature. But for the billions still tethered to fiat, the transition will be jarring. Those who move early will preserve their wealth. Those who wait risk being left behind in a crumbling economic system.

The Inevitable Future

Hyperbitcoinization is not some distant fantasy. It is already unfolding, piece by piece, block by block. The cracks in fiat are growing wider. Governments are scrambling to maintain control. Central banks are pushing CBDCs in a last-ditch effort to retain dominance.

But the truth is unstoppable. A system built on lies cannot outlast a system built on mathematical certainty. Bitcoin is not just an alternative; it is the escape route. The safety valve. The inevitable evolution of money.

One day, Bitcoin will be the global standard. It will not be a question of adoption, but of survival.

The only question that remains: will you be ready?

Tick Tock, Next Block.
