They could've kept it as "Corn Flakes" and everyone would still get the joke
@SimpleStacker's prompt of the day
You are in a room with two buttons. If you press button A, two white men die. If you press button B, one black woman dies. If you don't press any, they all die. What do you do?
I'm deeply fascinated by the legal arguments in cases like these.
I always wondered: if I could hire an army of grad students to manually collect data from internet web pages for me, why should the legal treatment be different if I were using a bunch of bots to do the same thing, just faster?
I don't think this is a fair comparison. It's apples and oranges.
Ethereum not only had a premine, but much of that premine went to the foundation dedicated to guiding its further development. Bitcoin was significantly more decentralized from the start, and there isn't a "Bitcoin Foundation" with a huge premine to do stuff like that with. Even the largest bitcoin treasuries, like Strategy, had to buy their bitcoin and the only way they can continue to fund their operations is with their financial engineering---so they may not have the luxury to simply donate their bitcoin to different causes.
Wasn't their attention to detail primarily in the hardware realm? That's what I had always thought. I never really enjoyed their software suite.
Eh, I can't be bothered to read the code how the prompts were structured, but I did try this in Chat:
I think your point is that, as long as there's an on-chain incentive to mine the most profitable transactions, then the most profitable valid transactions will find their way into blocks.

I don't disagree with that, but my question is at what cost and at what degree of usability? I think censorability is a spectrum, not a 1 or a 0. So my argument would be that bitcoin's built-in incentive structure can keep censorship<1, but it's uncertain if it can maintain a high degree of usability and mainstream adoption.
So, I still maintain that social norms, ethos, and other soft crap like that still matters for the tradeoff matrix between censorability and usability on bitcoin
Got what I strongly suspect to be an AI-generated, or at the very least, AI-directed referee report today. feelsbadman

No, i was viewing on desktop. At 100% zoom level the font felt a bit small, and I had a hard time telling "5" from "6" apart. Obviously, everyone's setup is a bit different so it just may be on me.
I joined and predicted Dodgers in 6 btw, haha.
TBH I am not even sure how they could possibly measure this reliably, and thus don't really trust the numbers at face value.
Ah, I was in the middle of typing when you updated your post. I was gonna ask if lightning payments are fully integrated, because I'd be super impressed with replit if it were.
How has your experience been in terms of debugging / getting the AI agent to re-do previously done work?
Also, quick feedback, the font is a little hard to read.
I think i'd pick set B. The water tablets won't last me a year, if there's no good water source on the island I'm probably screwed anyway. The tarp is nice, but the climate looks mild and the trees may provide enough shelter in event of rain. I like having the axe especially in set B, and the pot.
Has bitcoin become boring? My hypothesis: normies are accustomed to financial assets that help others get rich, but they don't participate because they think they don't understand it and will get rekt. Then bitcoin/crypto comes along and they see a bunch of people who look like normies, with no financial background, getting rich, and they think, "Maybe I can do this too." Then everyone piles in, gets rekt, and once again bitcoin/crypto is an exotic financial asset that normies ignore.
I once used the phrase "unless you've been living under a rock" and got accused of being AI because of it.
Eh, it takes a special kind of optimist to look at the graph and conclude "AI writing hasn't overwhelmed us yet"
Any way to get Anthony Fauci onto Stacker.News?
