Seems like they are serious about making an example to those who oppose them. Though it is just a harmless meme, those guys will take on everything seriously once their authority is challenged. I just don't know why people enjoy the pleasure of being entitled, maybe because they have power over other people? or they enjoy seeing people like slaves working for them? They have been playing monopoly for the longest time, while us who average people who only wanted to participate in global economic activities are being treated as rebels. It's really funny how they will enact the law whenever it is convenient for them. 

Are there any vacant slots? or is this another April fools' events? 

Count me in as a spammer I was just annoyed playing the game I'm stuck at the 2nd tube  

I'm already getting a hang of it. All I needed was just a bit of practice. I enjoyed playing this April fools' game, the only thing that I disliked is that once you have completed all the laps require for posting, the score immediately stops and it will just say "OK", I think it is much better if the score continues to tick even if you are done to see how long you will last and how many laps you can finish.

Edit: I have completed the 47 laps before editing this post and posting it.

*cannot post a proof from the completed 47 laps

Sa ngayon kasi early stage palang yung AI ibig sabihin infant pa lang sya kung ibabase natin sa edad. Binabase lang din kasi ang sagot nya sa kung ano ang pwede at hindi pwede nyang isagot o boundaries, isang dahilan dito ay sa mga programmer na nag program sa kanya at sa mga general information na nakukuha niya mula sa internet, kaya masasabi mong wala syang alam deeply pero meron syang general idea kung ano ang itatanong mo. Sa nakikita ko rin marami pang pwedeng iimprove ang AI na dapat nating katakutan kagaya na lamang ng pag alis ng limits nya o kaya maisipan ng mga developers na maging direct to the point ang sagot at alisin ang ethics, morality, at humility. Sa ngayon kasi kung tatanungin natin ang AI sasabihin lang na "as an AI model etc", kung mawawala ito napaka delikado dahil magkakaroon na ito ng sariling pang unawa, at dahil na rin naalis na ang boundaries at napakaraming datos ang pwede niyang ireview instantly, magkakaroon sya ng sariling conclusion base sa nakuha niyang impormasyon.

Because of this issue regarding AI and such, I tried asking an AI what the potential dangers their own kind could possibly bring and here's how chatGPT responded:


here's another question I did earlier, I don't know whether I should feel relieved or be worried.



it's just weird how they answered the second question confidently while still leaving a clue that it can still be misused by humans. Even if the AI answered there is nothing to worry about and they didn't have any ambitions, what about those who're controlling them? they can be threatened easily and leaving the possibility that one wrong programming can cause such huge disaster is absolutely terrifying.

Elon is worried about the dangers AI can give given that right it is still considered an infant and there still so many rooms to grow. One of the reasons why there is no copyright when someone is using even chatGPT is that the AI is the ones constructing narratives collected by various sources. In short, it isn't a summary but in fact it was their own understanding on what they understood from the gathered data. If given time to collect more information or data, who knows what dangers might befall us humans?

There's also the possibility that any other country who has enough influence could make use of this technology as a weapon. As time goes by, the more AI becoming more and more mature enough.

Just imagining how much data the AI has collected so far and will keep increasing over the course of years and if it possible (hopefully it's just my imagination) to use that data to oppose us humans is really terrifying. The OP depicted that there will be a huge change in the job industry once AI is officially recognized as new workforce, while there're some who claims that it will be a huge leap for humanity and there are those who are against since they'd run the risk of losing their jobs. It is also possible that over the years that may come, we as humans will be forced to adapt and try as hard as we can not to lose versus AI. It could be possible that we will try to develop as humans much more intelligent, skillful and creative than AI.

Humans are also dangerous when we talk about survival, let's just hope it won't reach to that point.

When I first learned about crypto, I was curious and due to my curiosity, I had dived deep into it to learn more, and the first few months of my experience all I could say is that this number 3 or yours is what I definitely understood about what bitcoin is. Even until now, I still view bitcoin as something special and only few people who are lucky enough to adapt earlier and those who truly understood bitcoin deserved to own those. As what you've said about this being special, most people I met from way back years ago up until now, some of them only view bitcoin as an easy money that is in the middle of being legal and illegal. Nobody even bothered to understand that the first purpose of it is to become a currency, but instead they'd all go look at it and think "Yes! this is it! this is money, money and more money!". That's just how they view it, maybe time will come when they look at it very differently, and that's how people usually are, they have varying opinions and perception.

That sounds bad for those who are miners, and that also means they have to evacuate or migrate to another country if they want to continue mining. In terms of technology, it is arguable that China is one of the leading suppliers of some technological parts like what you've said graphic cards. Years ago, I have also ordered from them a raspberry pi to help my former classmate about his robotics competition. For us living in Asia, China has become a primary source of those techs and aside from we didn't have to spend so much for shipping fees, they also offer good quality products depending on which supplier you chose. At that time also they are the ones who heavily supported crypto and mining industry, it's just funny how the tables turn and now they are against the very idea they supported.

Same old story as how it is Crypto vs Government. I don't think achieving total privacy is possible considering some other countries requires you to provide KYC for their very own service providers (wallets), just like the case here in my country. Yes, we have freedom in terms of doing transactions outside our wallets, but once it goes inside our own wallet provided locally, the whole story changes. Whether we like it or not, we couldn't take our money outside or transfer it not unless we provide personal information for verification, the worst part is that, now it has been slowly implemented that whenever you try to transfer crypto from external sources, they will ask you for what purpose, where it came from and how much you are going to send/receive.

I'm not totally against being verified and doing KYC since I am not doing something illegal, but that's the whole point of someone who's against KYC.

Mabuti naman kung ganun kabayan, of course susuportahan ka rin namin di ko lang din alam kung yung ibaba susuporta ba pero susuporta ako, gusto ko rin kasing i push yung pagkakaroon natin ng merit cycle kahit medyo mahirap dahil hindi na active yung dati nating merit source, at nakita ko din doon sa application ni @crwth na may issue pa na hindi na resolve kaya kaunting tiis nalang muna. Siguro isa din yang rason kaya di pa ina aprobahan ang aplikasyon ni @crwth, di lang ako sure pero kutob ko isa din yan sa kinoconsider.

You were right that paper money has a value, and it can be stored, we cannot argue with that, but the question is, does that amount you put in the bank still the same as the time comes? Let's put it simply this way, $1,000 is already enough in our family to survive whole month or even more, but do you think that figure will be enough in the future? Considering the constant rise of the prices in all the basic needs everyday do you think in the next 5-10 years that amount is significant? I don't think it is. That is the same situation even if you put that amount inside the bank, and guess what? for sure you'll earn percentage depends on how much you deposit by what method? Banks are going to play your money by example lending other people and giving them interest rates as their profit, and the duration? In my country it has minimum of 3 months, so let's just say they can lend it 4 times a year with 2% interest per loan, they have 8% APY just using your money and you get the 2% because that's what the bank promised when you put your money for time deposit. In short, they have 6% profit without lifting a finger and only using words and papers.

That's just a basic breakdown for an individual putting money inside a bank, so how much money does the bank have if all of you guys put your money at the same time? 100% profit isn't impossible to make if we're talking about banks, but that's just them not the individual whose blood and sweat being poured just to make "savings" for their future plans.

Exactly. This alone is already a huge difference between rich and poor people. By poor you mean those who are on lower class household and below right? if that's the case, thinking about getting in debt alone is already bad. Here's an example based on my experience and from the neighborhood I have in this country, for those who are earning below minimum wage, having a debt is like digging your own grave, coz you have to accept huge interest. Most banks here in my country will only offer you a small amount of loan which someone can afford based on their wages, and what can a little amount of money do? nothing, mostly it can only be used for groceries worth 3 days or 2. If the lower-class person or below wants to borrow reasonable amount of money, he/she will have to go to private loan sectors and accept their unreasonable terms and conditions specially in interest rate, which will only lead them being burrowed by debt day after day. This is one of the reasons why most of my neighbors wanted like a get rich quick scheme, since if they'd wanted to borrow money, they'll have to pay the amount and interest in fast manner and the faster they pay it off, the easier for them to get out of the crisis.

Getting in debt for me varies from person to person and more importantly varies depending on where the country is. Maybe the definition of HOBO in your country is already what we considered lower class here, how much more the poorest of the poor? Thinking about investing in that situation is no longer in their options.

Precisely! Alternate coins not only serve as an alternate currency but let's all admit it that it serves as a distraction to all of us, not in a bad way of course but you all get the point. The purpose of cryptocurrency is already semi anti-government due to its decentralized property, and the government will try to take over it before it fully bloomed if it is the only cryptocurrency existed. In the end it will lose it's decentralization due to monopoly and we will having another currency monopolized by the government.

I remembered back then when gamers are very excited about the future of gaming industry as how it was depicted on the anime Sword Art Online (SAO if you know what I mean) yet now it's getting farther and farther from the reality, although we knew that it is close to impossible, doing this act against the gaming community will only leave dreams as dreams. I don't know about other companies but there're few companies who are planning to adopt NFTs such as steam to their gaming experience, and if this new law implemented world wide, how will the players able to afford those taxes? I have been a free to play gamer since the launch of DOTA 2, do we have to go to jail for being unable to pay tax from games? I should've listened to my mom back then and focused on my education.

It's just absurd how the government tries to dip their feet on almost everything for the sake of their so called "security". Now, everyone can no longer game in peace. Almost everything requires taxes, and you need to report each asset you own. Right, I have a free arcana from the recent welcome package, where should I register this to declare ownership? ahahaha It isn't even tradeable. This new government laws imposing taxes to everything is getting nonsense. That aside, if this really requires KYC, are we on the way to become pro players? we can no longer create new accounts if we cannot verify using KYC?

Tama ka dyan kabayan! Hindi naman sa nilalahat natin dahil marami ding mga sellers na kakaumpisa pa lang at binibuild pa nila ang kanilang reputasyon, pero bilang isang consumer o mamimili, di mo rin talaga maiiwasang mag-isip kung totoong lihitimo ba talaga ang kanilang binibigay na serbisyo. Sa kadahilanan ding yan kaya ko naisipang ipost ito dito, dahil gaya nga ng sabi mo, hindi lang sa black market merong ganito at meron din sa mga e-commerce katulad ng shopee, lazada, amazon at marami pang iba. Nung nakita ko kasi ito sa shorts ng tiktok naisipan kong marami ang mga pinoy na magtatangkang pasukin ang ganitong negosyo lalo na't affordable at accessible lang ang mga cellphone at pwede mo itong gawin anytime anywhere as long as merong internet at dala kang gadget.

Ang ideya kasing pinopromote nung napanood ko ay parang outsourcing kumbaga at gaya nga ng sabi ko sa naunang tugon ko kay @bhadz, naparaming mga pinoy ang nagtatanong kung papano ba simulan ito at kung available ba ito sa Pilipinas.

If I were to be asked to coach someone about crypto, of course I'll immediately turn them down. Firstly, I learned crypto on my own (though not everyone is capable of self-learning), I was like that at first too, but diving into deep knowledge in regards of crypto requires you to be self-reliant. Unlike before when I first learned about crypto, right now there are so many sources for you to learn like google. Adding the fact that here in my county banks and financial institutions are slowly introducing crypto into their platforms, makes it much easier for those who are new to the space about what blockchain technology is.
