I do not have any faith in the companies of Silicon Valley to have the greater good in mind anymore. It's all about the money so this doesn't surprise me anymore.

In the fight between the VCs and the people trying to make the world a better place, the bankers won and took control.

Training an AI is exactly the same as training a human mind

Yeah, I remember when I had to read the entire internet to learn how to talk. I was lucky though, I had access to those resources in preschool.

Some kids weren't able to completely read millions of books in their training data until they were in fourth grade, or even fifth grade. Most of these people have Slashdot IDs between 1423380 and 1423382. It's sad, really, how they talk. The inequality. We should take up a collection pot for them.

To go into more detail about it:

There are simple counter examples:

These aren't counter examples. The important thing is whether you can draw the supply curve and draw the demand curve and find where they meet in equilibrium. It doesn't matter if the demand curve is shaped because or hunger or because of convincing advertising.

The important thing is there are two curves and you need to understand them.

Nope. Econ 101 fucks up. The COST is set by supply/demand.

Dunning-Kruger is strong with you.

neither neither supply nor demand is necessarily generated by need.

This shows your ignorance. You live in a parallel universe called "ignorance." There are two curves, a supply curve and a demand curve. Where they cross is the price.

Buy on rumor, sell on news. Bitcoin went up to $120k on the hope the Trump would do things to increase the value (if he did everything people wanted him to do, Bitcoin could have reasonably gone to $250k). The strategic bitcoin reserve was an effort by Trump that showed in fact he was not going to do everything people wanted him to do.

So there's not a lot of hope that Trump will push Bitcoin up to $250k anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if it settled around $45k (based on organic use of legal and illegal money transfers).

Having no intrinsic value means there is no floor to its value, unlike gold which at least exists physically has some uses.

Having intrinsic value does not mean there is a floor to its value. The value is set by demand and supply (ie, how much is available and how much people are willing to pay for that).

For example, air is arguably the most valuable thing we can possess, far more important than gold or even water. Yet, I will not pay a single cent for it because it is so abundant. I don't need to pay for it.

(You might consider watching some youtube videos about economics or something, solidify your understanding so you don't write stupid things.)
