Trump-led American Bitcoin has lost more than 90% of its value since its reverse merger, far outpacing the 25% that BTC has declined.

THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS PUBLIC DOCUMENTS. No one should have to verify their identity (much less send their ID information to a tech company) to access patents. <END RANT>

i think the average rationalist would say in good faith that they are not racist the way people think, and that virtually every other person, after hearing them out and discarding every premise they thought was incorrect or incoherent, would conclude that they very much were

There’s a lot of people in the replies who are like “actually voters only care about material conditions” despite having lived through the election where the American electorate rejected the administration removing lead pipes in favor of the guy who wants to put lead back in the pipes

“My biggest takeaway is that there is more low-hanging fruit out there than you’d expect.” This is a good summary of the type of analysis and investigations that agents have made it easier for me to do

It really annoys me how many people will act as though journalists is failing to report on Trump’s corruption. No, actually they have extensively and with excruciating detail reported on his corruption! There’s a truly overwhelming amount of reporting on Trump’s corruption!

Tricking the AI into have the right stuff in context and the right tools in mind is useful and feels a bit like placing wards on a homunculus so it obeys your commands and anticipates your desires

New story from me begs a pretty big question - why does the world's largest issuer of stablecoins Tether still struggle to open basic bank accounts? Tether's CIO Zachary Lyons enlisted the help of a tiny Caribbean bank to approach Singapore's DBS for an account, but then the FBI stepped in...

That's just fraud, my dude. Even if you use an AI agent. It's just fucking fraud.
Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made. 
Call the number of the manufacturer. 
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund. 
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get  them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.
