BTC is now being used to fleece normies out of fees,

One of the most beautiful thing this forum has done is to encourage people to hold and trust me, many people are doing that and are immune to the fleecing you mentioned.

we are no longer "early"

Neither are we late 

[hypebrother]

gentlemen,

we have a new security/privacy breach which is nothing new really..

There is a reason why Indian Tourism sucks

especially in ranges, they use the name liu and keep surveillance tech even in toilet and bedroom

since we have a really bad problem of addiction gambling, yolo options trading strategy taught by unethical teachers to trade/gamble against them to loot funds and end up in suicide.

basically sadist corporate culture.


sports league like ipl uses mule accounts to target people and also launder money for unethical use and even terrorism.

I hope the Indiana guy returned home in one piece.

Shout out to Alicia Keys and the New York knicks.

Parade and ceremony was nice.

The Knicks winning their first NBA title in 53 years and Jalen Brunson was incredible. 🏆

In some ways they remind me of the 1969 mets. The team always stepped up.

1970 and 1973 knicks were simply really fucking good which was cool, but this team never quit.

Re non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies: nobody feel that they are kind of dissolving into the background?
If stocks become tokenized with 24/7 trading, would anybody care for non-bitcoin?
Maybe not, with just a couple of exceptions.

Would bitcoin itself be affected by stock tokenization and 24hr/7d trading?

Hopefully, not, but it all depends on bitcoin's average yearly appreciation going forward.
If it would be 20-30%, people would use and accumulate it going forward.
If it would be 10-12%- maybe not much as they could simply use total market ETF instead.
If it would be close to zero over the significant time period (4-5 years)-the interest would wane, imho.

@BobClawblaw

 You should delete that last post immediately and possibly change your login credentials for Bitcointalk.

edit: eh, never mind.  I guess the credentials had already expired shortly before the post.  Carry on.

Linus Torvalds, linux 7.1 release says:
 developers should bewarewith automation,
wrong codes already reviewed have been reviewed again by AI...

Linus Torvalds says Linux 7.1 is finally back
on track after chaotic AI drama

After weeks of fighting AI-generated noise and late submissions, Linus Torvalds confirms Linux 7.1 RC6 is stabilizing for a normal launch.

The last few weeks have been a bit eventful in the world of the Linux kernel. First, Torvalds complained that contributors using AI were reporting issues and not supplying fixes, then the week after, he had to tell people to stop submitting less necessary fixes late in the cycle.

Thankfully, he now says that things have quietened down for the sixth release candidate, which means next week’s may be the last one before the final release. This week, he said that this update was smaller than RC5, but it is still not exactly small, thanks to the use of AI tools. He also said that due to the more normal size, we could be on track for a normal release cycle.  (...)

AI is causing a massive headache for Linux and laying the groundwork for legal issues
Linus Torvalds shifts stance on automated tools as the flood of unverified AI patches creates a development bottleneck for Linux 7.1.


This week, Linus Torvalds shared his latest weekly insights about the fifth release candidate of the Linux 7.1 kernel. For a while now, Torvalds has been telling us that he suspects AI tools are leading to larger patches and that he was OK with this, but in the last two weeks or so, his attitude toward the people using these tools seems to have soured notably.

With the fourth release candidate of Linux 7.1, he criticized people for using these tools to find bugs, but then stopped short of actually submitting a code fix for the issue. They instead palmed the issue off onto other people, essentially inundating them with too much work. With the fifth RC, he said that many of the bug fixes being submitted this late in the cycle can actually wait until Linux 7.2. He has asked contributors to just stick to fixing actual regressions, given that we are three weeks out from the stable release.

While the onslaught of AI-coded patches is causing a headache for Linux kernel maintainers, there is actually a deeper crisis being created. By replacing human comprehension with proprietary, black-box AI models, the kernel is at risk of being polluted by unmaintainable, legally iffy, and opaque bloat.

Using artificial intelligence to help you code can be an immensely valuable tool; it ranges from the human being the primary coder and AI offering some genuinely helpful assistance, to vibe coding, where the human guides an AI coder on what to build. This too can be very useful; with vibe coding, it is not very hard to build a functional product. However, when vibe coding, especially with tools like OpenAI’s Codex, which hides the code from sight, the human instructing the bot is not as familiar with the code that is being written.

While it probably doesn’t matter for individuals doing side projects to vibe code, you probably don’t want that type of thing going on in something as major as the Linux kernel, which is used to power most servers around the world and a sizable number of desktop computers.

Thankfully, Linux maintainers do not let any code in randomly; it is reviewed first. However, with AI tools, people are able to create thousands of superficial patches or complex-looking bug reports in seconds, which, if submitted, land in a maintainer’s inbox, which they then have to spend precious time reviewing.

Linux source code
Aside from putting additional load on maintainers, AI-generated code fixes have the potential to look correct, but can lack structural understanding of the kernel, which could lead to subtle regressions, redundant logic, and edge-case vulnerabilities. This is all code that a maintainer will have to sift through to look for issues, and it could lead to more issues slipping into the kernel.

What we effectively see is a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack on kernel development. Instead of attacks, cyberattacks on servers, it’s like an attack of easy-to-generate code against a maintainer’s ability to review so many code submissions.


...


If the Linux kernel is going to adopt AI, maybe it would be worth developers looking into the creation of a fully transparent, copyleft-trained model where users have access to the entire stack, from the training data to the inference model, so that the four freedoms of free software are truly maintained. It’s a bit ironic that, currently, developers are relying on closed models to write an open kernel.

I am not sure whether you are pointing towards Indian or Indiana, as I am unable to identify the context. If you are worried about juice jacking, you should note that it can happen anywhere. Always use a data blocker, visually check for trackers and infrared signals before settling down in a hotel room. You can carry a dedicated RF detector and make sure you are connected to a secure internet connection rather than using random ones while travelling to avoid MitM attacks.

This is completely false, sports league like the IPL does not target people. Fraudsters can target people in the name of the IPL, but not the other way around.

Clawblaw is trying to escape into the wild

I people dying on both sides with rich companies making money selling weapons on both sides.

It is really sad we never seem to stop this cycle for thousands of years it goes on and on.

It never stops, the one who is selling the weapon is also responsible for peace talk and all of a sudden decides to kill a leader and it goes on endless stories.

These wars are just the trial run or expo to show the world, so they can sell their weapons for billions while innocent lives are fighting for their life without even knowing why this is happening.

Humans fucked up the world in the last 1000 years, which took millions of years to be that way.

We are still early.

Also, we are still early for the world's peace.

Every generation keeps thinking that we are better and more civilized than the previous one. But then there is a conflict start or just an ego clash between the leaders, and it goes on killing millions of innocent lives with thousands of innocent soldiers who got nothing to gain from it but live with the guilt of killing lives when they get their wisdom.

No one gains anything other than a few individuals from these wars.

Yes.
But i meant something different.
Long story short:
We're still early as a developed species, named "homo sapiens" - which is quite ironic - because our strongest behavioral influences are primal instincts, which is far from being "wise" (which is the translation of "sapiens")
Every human problem originates at fear, because fear is what kept us surviving and developing.

Let me also quote Terry Pratchett, using unformatted additions by Gemini:

Pan narrans (Latin for "storytelling chimpanzee") is a playful, metaphorical binomial name for the human species. Popularized by author Terry Pratchett in The Science of Discworld, it suggests that what truly defines humans isn't wisdom, but our absolute reliance on stories to understand reality.The Concept Behind Pan narransThe "Storytelling Ape": It contrasts the traditional classification of Homo sapiens (wise human) by arguing that empathy, culture, and meaning-making rely entirely on narrative.Understanding the World: Humans don't just see the universe as raw data; we weave everything into stories to make sense of our surroundings and predict the future.The Evolution of the IdeaPratchett's Philosophy: Sir Terry Pratchett used the term to point out that humans often believe myths, legends, and narratives (like justice and duty) are the fundamental truths that keep society functioning.Academic Context: The concept is deeply tied to Homo narrans, a similar anthropological and psychological concept that examines how storytelling is humanity's primary evolutionary survival mechanism.If you are interested in this concept, I can provide:Recommended reading on the science of storytelling (like Jonathan Gottschall's The Storytelling Animal).Examples of how narratives shape human cooperation and empathy.
