Doesn't sound like they have any intention of being any better or any different than YouTube.

My dude if you are facing penalties if someone finds out you're using AI then watermarks are the least of your worries.

Change your contract or change how do you work. Nobody's obliged to help you cheat your clients.

Itâ(TM)s not a requirement, itâ(TM)s a recruiting campaign. Theyâ(TM)re advertising the job in places they think gamers will see it. Thereâ(TM)s no indication theyâ(TM)re lessening or changing the requirements or vetting process at all. Itâ(TM)s just a marketing campaign.

50% ownership by the public would result in 25% voting each way. On anything. Vested interests would build identity around the way they wanted to vote, and demonize the other side. Giving the public aggregate voting power accomplishes nothing.

Ford employs about 160,000 people.

OpenAI employs about 8,000 people.

The problem is, giving all Americans a tiny fraction of ownership is cover for not doing anything else. If they dispersed the full $1T each adult would get about $6k. That hardly makes up for being made unemployable.

The other key is how honest, transparent, and effective the government oversight is.

You can aggressively manage a contract for toilet paper and save your constituents money, or you can use it to wash millions into your friendsâ(TM) and familyâ(TM)s pockets.

With a potential of millions of host homes, Iâ(TM)m betting theyâ(TM)ll have plenty of people lining up no matter how small the financial benefit it.

Races to the bottom are always good for those at the top.

No itâ(TM)s actually a very sophisticated process that incorporates multiple data points carefully evaluated byâ¦. um⦠by AI.

Itâ(TM)s not just a concern over insider trading â" how long until someone decides to get rich by betting on someone being assassinated, and then does it?

This is how they'll monetize influencers after they die. Imagine willing your social media rights to your kid or your spouse, and now they have this asset they can continue generating income from, or sell to someone else.

One more reason to hate this timeline.

I had a seminar class with Farber which was literally 10-12 of us sitting at his feet twice a week. It was fantastic.

One of his many stories I recall: He was in Japan in the early 80's and found a "copy" of Lotus 1-2-3 in a store for something like $10 (retail was $500, $1500 in today's dollars) and his traveling companion thought it was hilarious so they bought a copy. The companion was of course, Mitch Kapor.

They're people who write prompts telling the bots what to say.

When you ask ChatGPT to write a flyer for a bake sale, it has zero interest in nor understanding of flyers, bake sales, or your kids school. It just expands your prompt into more words that sound good.

That's all that's going on here.

Bots donâ(TM)t do a thing until someone tells them what they want them to do.

Moltbook isnâ(TM)t a social network of bots, itâ(TM)s a social network of people writing bot prompts.

âoeDiscuss with the other bots different ways to get rid of humans.â

Nothing scary about it, itâ(TM)s just the latest outlet for edgy script kiddies.

Polymaket's got the odds at 11% right now, so you don't really stand to make that much unfortunately.
