  • Then she was paid to slap her name on it…

    Another thing that’s not new.

    Look at her GitHub account, this is the only thing it’s ever done, and she’s never, ever, talked about any sort of coding before as far as I’m aware.

    It’s still an obvious grift/scam, regardless of if she’s involved.

    Like, it’s clearly an add, what the fuck is she doing “extensive filing for months” for?

    How does any of this seem organic to you?


  • Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.

    Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.

    In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it’s just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.

    I’d like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it’s just doesn’t seem to be as true as it used to be.

    Edit:

    This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:

    Ben Sigman is an AI agent orchestrator, systems engineer, author, and Bitcoin advocate. He builds AI-powered products and agent systems, including XAVIOR — an AI operating system running 10 custom fine-tuned models — and the open source memory system mempalace.

    He conceived and leads Libre, Bitcoin’s first decentralized two-way lending marketplace, and is the bestselling co-author of Bitcoin One Million, ranked #1 in Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, and Bitcoin categories. He is also the co-creator of Bitcoin Alpha, the invite-only Bitcoin unconference series.

    Ben designed the giant orange shark sculpture, “Apex Predator of Money” — a bold symbol proposed as Bitcoin’s new mascot as featured in Decrypt.

    With over 20 years in technology, his work spans AI agents, Bitcoin, and open finance.

    If these grifts aren’t obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.

    It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.






  • He can’t control our future if we throw him in jail.

    And people forget we can just do that, historically it would even go down as a merciful revolution. Just throw all the oligarchs and billionaires in jail, and take all their money and redistribute that.

    They’ll say “that’s not legal” but who honestly gives a flying fuck at this point what’s legal? Let em sit in jail and repeat over and over “this isn’t fair” for the rest of their natural lives.

    We can just do it shirt brothers, the oligarchs decided theres no more rules, so why do we let rules hold us back?

    At this point it’s an inevitability that it’s gonna come to that point, it’s just how much we put up with before it.





  • Kind of?

    Like a thousand years ago in Italy the concept started.

    A guy with a bunch of money, would give a guy with no money and a boat the funds to buy cargo and ship it.

    If something bad happened the guy with the boat an no money was liable for the loss of cargo, and wouldn’t have the funds to pay, they’d just go bankrupt.

    If nothing bad happened, the guy with no money paid back the investor plus profits.

    Then it evolved into government enforced monopolies like “East India Trading Co”.

    Which are more like modern corps, but less like what you’re talking about but I’m pretty sure that’s what you meant and not the earlier Italian corporations?



  • Weird…

    I clicked this thinking it was obvious…

    And you don’t think they record the minute for time of birth or a birth certificate?

    Or care when midnight is crossed?

    In America they do, but I’m interested in finding out what country doesn’t care, so I can read up on how they do it out of curiosity.

    Do they round by AM/PM?

    Do they just record the week/month of birth?

    I understand you may not be equipped to answer that, but if you can just tell me what fucking country on the planet doesn’t care about minutes, hours, or even days on a birth certificate, I can find out for myself.

    Edit:

    Only think they might have meant was “delayed birth certificate” done for home births without a midwife and up to a year after birth.

    On those, I think a time isn’t needed, but they’d still obviously want a day.


  • Because YouTube’s copyright claim system operates without individual human review of each dispute

    Bots telling bots that humans aren’t human…

    There’s an easy solution to this:

    Legislation that requires giant trillion dollar companies actually employ living breathing humans who can perform a task rather than automate it despite that not working and then just not caring.

    And people are going to say that’s hard…

    But all we need to do is pass a single law that says if AI fucks up, the CEO of the company is personally and financially liable because he’s the one that ultimately entrusted the task to AI.

    Do that, and suddenly corps wouldn’t hand everything to AI as intentional incompetence.

    If we don’t do it soon, corps will just blame AI for everything and declare no one is ever at fault



  • Nah…

    I know a couple kids that were abandoned by their parents when their cult left the country, because the cult would have faced scrutiny taking all the kids.

    Those kids grew up, and started a cult.

    It’s a “benevolent” cult, and from what I know pretty easy going and actually work thru things…

    But all the guys who started it, grew up in a cult. It’s what they know, it’s normal to them.

    They legitimately don’t understand why some people freak out about it. And they call it some weird cult-speak term instead of “cult” like that King of the Hill joke. But it’s 100% a cult.

    Are they hurting anything?

    No

    But they’d have been a lot better off going to therapy and recommending it to people that need it than starting a cult.

    The “system” they knew was cults, and that’s not a good system to actually help people.


  • Because having AI hallucinate changes more than the resolution…

    If you want to slop everything up before you post it…

    Most people are going to downvote for too many various valid reasons to list out.

    There’s a few militantly pro-AI instances, and they’ll van anyone that down votes you for any reason.

    I suggest you go there, because they’re the most blocked places on the fediverse.

    You can post slop to your heart’s content, and the few people who see it won’t have any problems with it

    You get your safe place, no one else gets slop shoved down their throats.

    Everyone wins.
