did you not see the Roman Empire fall from diluting the gold content in their coins? how is that not corruption?

Makes you wonder about cases like spontaneous combustion 🤔

Is this because of neutrinos randomly exciting an electron or is my memory off

machine learning, robotics is the future. Whether or not machines become sentient is another question, but imo we should make damn sure they can never think for them selves.
Sometimes I wonder if skynet already exists and controls more than people think economically before technology actually catches up to make a brain for them in a small package. as of now, we need an entire facility to have the same floating point operations as one terminator. that's like thousands of homes worth of power to do it. Makes you wonder how skynet would even evolve. Would they keep an adhoc blockchain type of neural network, or have massive facilities that cannot be assaulted easily miles underground and simple have all the robots empty shells that are just being remotely controlled?

in any case, the future is machine learning and automation. The only people who win are the shareholders, and everyone else will lose as a result.
