I think the phrase originates from red pill "culture" so you might be unintentionally correct

Surprisingly balanced and civil discussions in these comments. Super proud to be here 💪 this would not happen elsewhere

You probably want 48gb of vram or more to run the good stuff. I recommend renting GPU time instead of using your own hardware, via AWS or other vendors - runpod.io is pretty good.

Uncensored models are so much better, too. chatGPT is like one of those plastic children's toy hammers vs real models are titanium hammers

Never secure? Maybe you and I have a different definition of secure. Billions are currently secured in BTC, and have been for years.

Crowdstrike is an argument against your point - single point of failure and too much power in one actor.

Please send me the example you mentioned about Bitcoin's PoW being "split by cloud" - not sure what that means.

Attacking a PoW system costs more than a bad actor would receive in reward for attacking the system.

There's good book I can recommend that you might enjoy as a programmer if you want to learn more about this: Mastering Bitcoin by Andreas Antonopolis. He is a Greek CS nerd who got into it during the Greek financial crisis and explains this all very well.

It's strange to me to be a professional programmer and have no interest in highly secure programmable money and distributed systems for consensus, but you do you. I am not here to change your mind.

PoW is necessary to financially disincentivize attacks on the network.

Programmable money can achieve everything a bank does and more. Imagine automations that have their own wallets and can pay people (or other bots) to do things.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while, thank you, I needed this ❤️

BTC can use the same amount of energy it does now and process every transaction that tradfi does. Aka it's more efficient than the legacy system it will replace

If you're in these comments saying Bitcoin is a waste of energy resources, come prepared with the amount of energy traditional finance uses. How many banks have big empty buildings in downtown that keep their lights on all night? Security trucks to transport cash, etc.

What the Fediverse has done for social media, Bitcoin does for money.
