Trying to scan everyone's eyeball into a database with a literal orb to give out cryptocurrency is one of those things that might be imagined as making sense in like a shower thought, but then should be quickly discarded. pic.twitter.com/lQfodjaktO

If you believe Altman and the creators — that their goal is to empower people — then this is one of the worst misallocations of capital ever

Will be rough in 2040 when they look back and reflect on how many they could have helped by plowing this into Bitcoin education and UX https://t.co/y5FJY2Rfkw

and i think it's good to force the issue on automating jobs we aren't willing to pay that much for anyway.

long-term i still think this is all the wrong framing and we will probably need something like UBI.

Moore’s Law for Everything

We need to design a system that embraces this technological future and taxes the assets that will make up most of the value in that world–companies and land–in order to fairly distribute some of the coming wealth.

A deep dive on Andreessen Horowitz's latest "State of Crypto" report. In short: they want people to keep buying crypto, and are not above publishing blatant falsehoods to convince them to do so.

The report itself is 60 pages long, so this is a long one.https://t.co/R99VabLzdy
