LOL nice. But Oof, unforgiven 2? Were you going for worst Metallica songs ever written for the example?
Going from memory the chances of it being an actual Metallica song are about 50/50.
Don't tempt them too much.
Even Metallica playing their own song on twitch got them DMCA'd.
Where else will I get my interesting tech blogs from ? Hacker news ? That's preposterous.

The llama's ass has gone unwhipped for far too long now
I'm surprised this Winamp isn't skinned in something horrible
A most excellent thread. Spot on foone.
This whips the llamas ass!
Really whipping some llama ass there.
That was a beautiful, beautiful rant. And topped off with a Winamp image, thank you! For one delightful moment, I imagined I was once again in the "information" age...
Today in "JPEGs you can hear" news...
Is that the sound of a llama's ass being whipped?
Whew~ what an ending. You are a marvelous creature

Oh my god
I still don’t understand
Edgeworth: wow
The crypto community has been speed-running all of the financial scams of the past millenium over the last decade.
It was inevitable they'd get to art dealing.
Crypto steam railway schemes when.
That’s a fair take but I feel it’s also a branch off of a different talking point where when most people talk about banning crypto they’re not talking about the (very real) scam element as much as the actual act of minting stuff for environmental or resource distribution reasons
Of course that said I really have no idea how possible banning the act of minting even IS it’s probably as unworkable as keeping RSA illegal when that was a debate and banning the sale of crypto shit would probably be an easier way to accomplish that goal
In a lot of cases we do, it's just that governments are structurally ill-equipped to deal with white collar crime and full of people whose job it is to be impressed by tech bullshit.
We are two, maybe three, years away from an elegant attack on crypto networks that can’t be defended against because of the nature of decentralised systems that all rely on the same unfixable point of failure. All their theories about unstoppability will be turned upside down.
What is this unfixable point of failure?
And here I am not entirely sure what "Web 3.0" IS. Is it yet another cryp fad?
My younger sib just summed up N|F|Ts perfectly. They're essentially the thneed from The Lorax. Everyone need's a thneed.
Procedurally generated pixel art too, so we don't even have to pay artists more than once!
Hard agree on everything. Zero value is being created with these schemes.
I think it has another layer, it's attractive to people desperate to look smart.
Marks are impressed by the deliberately confusing pseudo technical description and convince themselves that they'll look like geniuses if they repeat the buzzwords like crude bots.
I've said it before, but at least with most pyramid schemes you get some storage containers or knives or something.
When these guys are left holding the bag they won't even have a bag.
A friend of mine still swears by the CutCo knives he sold almost 20 years ago.

I would like you to consider joining me in rejecting the idea that Web3 has anything to do crypto, because it's already here and it's definitely AI
What is Web3? - The Chia Plot
You might have heard a lot of talk about “Web 3.0” and “Web3 services” or the like while following cryptocurrency news. It sounds really good, like the future, but what does it mean? This is a tough one, because its not universally agreed upon but that’s ok. In this post I’m going to go over...

Your carbon footprint could be measured in terms of the number of people who wasted time and electricity viewing your mega shitpost thread, but everyone is too busy reading and liking it to worry about it! 🦶👣👣👣👣👣👣👣🤪
Nice thread, thanks.
Oh, but you forget: we get a fancy e-receipt with a QR code that if scanned shows us the logo of the factory that produced the pollution. That *clearly* makes all the difference. /joke
"Our market analysis shows that industries which produce high levels of pollution also generate high profits. Therefore,"
Shove WSG in the rocket in a confined space with access to nothing but a small window and a camera feed back to Earth and send them on a first-hand experience of just how dangerous that asteroid is!
I want to point out that wall street happily financed all the vaccine shit at a loss. But eh
the deep impact remake to upset everyone
And there a a couple of Billionaires saying," hey I have a rocket, who will pay lots of money so you can go into space on my rocket so you can take selfies with the meteor behind you."
Wallstreet: Why can't you use the rocket you have on the launchpad right now?
NASA: That would be the one with the JWST on it.
NASA: ...
NASA: Never mind, of course we'll use that rocket.
Joe Manchin is willing to agree to $5 billion on research for a coal-powered rocket.
Money is never a problem when it comes to The Pentagon.
see the crazy thing is that 50 billion dollars of spending building a rocket would do the exact opposite of making people lose jobs
The real reason Armageddon had oil drillers sent to take on the asteroid.
"Are you willing to sacrifice the Economy to save the Planet?"
The Fuck kinda question is that?
YES!
It's on its way. They thought it was a dwarf planet, it's that large. 2031 they say. Sure, they also say it'll only reach Saturn, but that's also when the sun is supposed to be hotter. I'm sure everything will be fine...
"actually thousands of asteroids hit the earth every year" - Big Asteroid Propaganda
i have a theory that rich ppl/govt are not doing anything about climate change because they’re trying to kill as many “undesirables” as possible - look at what’s already happening in Africa wrt climate change
Back To the Future II had it right when Doc Emmet Brown confronts Marty with what happens in his future: "What kind of a future do you call that!?" *pointing at news article from future newspaper* 🤪
Climate change is not an existential threat. Not according to science. It's a threat with a specific cost, and yes we can turn fighting it into negative ROI. That so many smart people think fighting climate change is saving the plant is embarrassing.
History has demonstrated time and again that spending shitloads of money always makes the economy thrive. The only time it’s done the opposite is when the money was spent in the stock market.
Especially given that money is MADE UP ANYWAYS. What the whole things winds up being is "we don't want to save the world if it means taking any of that socially constructed numerical thing we prop up a few elite wealthy with away from being funneled into those same wealthy folks.
Now I'm wondering... is there anywhere in human society where the abstraction we've created to represent something has become MORE important than what it represents, but NOT resulted in making things worse as a result?
After the Great Depression the rich decided to create the Federal Reserve so they could make up / produce more money so that they would NEVER AGAIN have to worry about losing their wealth. That's what they did.
Exploding deficits wont mean anything if we're baked alive? Makes sense.
the really obnoxious part is the decades of inaction have made the problem more expensive to solve
if we had gone with the boring guy in 2000 the costs were basically next to nothing
it's still WAY cheaper to do something now than to let the catastrophe continue
Well then tell Mr President that he should just say that the trillions he's spending are necesarry even if it collapses our economy because we're doomed 100% if we dont. Stop with the BS about it not costing anything. That's all I'm asking. THE. TRUTH!
He can't handle truth and neither can the electorate. Most people know it or suspect it but dont want it said on live TV. I'm done. I'm already forlon and anxiety ridden with the little of it that is out there. Just say it and be done.
If you think it'll be expensive to live in a habitat we saved from destruction, imagine how expensive it will be to live in one we didn't.

"Let's talk about the cost/benefit analysis of breathing"
Let the poor freeze!
The destruction of the biosphere all human civilization depends on is likely to render all prior investments worthless. That is the cost of climate change.
All investment exists with the assumption assets will have an opportunity to appreciate. Government bonds are considered some of the safest investments because you generally operate on the assumption your country will not only survive but *outlive* you.
It’s a species literally discussing how much it’s worth in financial terms.
So, how much would we pay for one Humanity?
What's the price tag on _not_ fixing the climate?

God damnit I know this one too
I think this one would be a really good episode of Red Dwarf tbh
If you took it completely literally
but we're telling everyone!
our throats are dry from all the telling!
Isn't that rule 1 of scamming as a way of selecting the best mark anyway?
I have seen a few neat "glitch AI stuff" examples, but yes, everything else looked like shit.
There are semi-legit "not worth it, but not unfathomably stupid" use cases for NFT tech (MTG-style card trading dynamics in digital CCGs, unnerfable game items, even stamp-style collectibles would be saner), but of course the use case that took off had to be the stupidest one.
I wonder if you can apply this to politics. Politicians say something so hateful on purpose knowing that those too dumb and hateful to realize what they are actually saying with defend them and vote for them? It sorta makes sense. We just live in an upside down world is all.
Maybe.
But also because they need it to be kinda generic to easily create a series of them. And they need the series in order to wash trade a few of them at a high price to make the rest of them seem like a bargain to the suckers. No that different from beetcons really.
that’s a great insight. Was always stumped by why the emails would be so obviously a fraud.
"it ensures the only people who will bite..."
If it's laundering, it ensures nobody else joins the game.
There's the illegality of it all, though. Someone hires a lawyer to have these criminals shut down and suddenly they have to waste money avoiding being found out irrespective of whether it's a bad scam or not. So they use even more illegal and dodgy address munging, vicious cycle
Hmm. Maybe this is why, as an artist, this whole 'bored apes' thing chaps my ass. Making money and destroying the planet by fleecing rubes with BS "art", and I can't get the time of day from a gallery. Harrumph.
Whatever one might think of my art, good or ill, at least it's better than an ugly monkey looking to the right.
I have not seen your art, but I already know it's better than absolutely every NFT I've ever seen.
Haha, well, my avatar is an example of my art. And yeah, even with my impostor syndrome getting in my own way I can admit I turn out better stuff than apes and lions. ;)
Don't sell yourself short, now the one example I've seen is infinitely better than the ugly monkeys.
I admit that's a low bar to clear so I'll say yes this is actually good.
I legit laughed out loud at that. Thanks! 😁😊
For what it's worth the global *actual* art market is not much better. Most of it is tax evasion, money laundering and artificial scarcity, not to mention the whole clusterfuck around "Raubkunst" (art stolen by Nazis and other authoritarian regimes) and colonialism.
Bingo. A part of the con is convincing the mark that they're smarter than everyone else.
Big news! We've partnered up with @Adobe and @ContentAuth to enhance attribution of NFTs on Rarible. 🔎 Now collectors can see if the wallet used to design an NFT was the same one used to mint it as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (#CAI) –

rarible.medium.com
That might be the most coherent and insightful thing I've read about NFTs
man I was really confused before I realized this was a typo
...how the fuck did I never get that
So that it quickly filters out the incredulous people and leaves only the vulnerable marks?
The house is coming from INSIDE the PHONE
You just claimed thinking it was money laundering was optimistic, I'm going to say that assuming it's a grand scheme to be bad on purpose is giving bad actors too much credit. I think it's just more about high volume and that means low quality.
And the bad actors probably don't even think of it as a scam it's probably just 'oh hey i figured out a weird trick', they just don't care if they destroy the planet in doing so
Or of course the fallacy of "well someone's gonna do it might as well be me", which is not true as most people don't do the bad thing
Yep. It gets people to go "hey I could get in on this!"
Oh yeah, 100%.
Is the ultimate goal to own the Hamster Dance and then time travel and clean up?
The sheer insanity of it just shows it's not about value or scamming anymore. It's a religion. They worship the technology, and pointless sacrifice is a very typical thing in worship.
The trouble I had to get someone to print & sign a sketch so I could pay for it, because it was ‘only’ digital, so wouldn’t be unique or special. It’s special to me, special b/c it’s by them. If it was a gif or a pile of screen grabs, whatever. I paid for *my* copy.
Yes I could have printed it out at home for free, but I care that it is *from* them, that they made it *for* me, and that they accepted the price I believed it was worth, to me, to have it.
someone got it calling those kitsch art
well how else are you supposed to make money with just a random mii generator and some graphics cards
It's the twist that makes it the least believable to scifi readers, but arguably the one that makes it the most realistic and meaningful story, since the only people doing it are tasteless scammers and marks.
Production quality is always a dead giveaway
I think there’s a few money launderers and a lot of normal people who are blinded by greed.
Well, a ruse always needs two parts: a fool and con. In this case they just might be interchangeable is all.
they've got to be dumb rich crooks, though, because making an immutable record of your activities in a system designed to be publicly replicated in thousands of places isn't a great way to crime.
Oh! It's a simpler scam than that. To mint an NFT you have to pay the proprietor of the block chain a processing fee, most likely paid in an appreciating crypo coin.
NTFS is a serviceable filesystem and despite coming out of Microsoft probably not a laundering scheme...
The only time I ever lost all the data was when I upgraded from NT 3.5 beta to NT 3.5, and the upgraded BusLogic driver used some undocumented commands that my BusLogic-emulating AMI SCSI host interpreted as “initialize partition”.
1/?
Funnily enough the Linux system on another partition was unaffected. And I was singing, no, not bye bye American Pie but youtu.be/2HuiH-0R6a0.
Technically not an NTFS bug, I guess, but I lived happily ever after.

They are not talking about the filesystem, flip the middle letters around, it's to prevent keyword searching bots
I knew what was meant, wasn't aware of the bot thing. It just amused me...
I take issue with the "thinly veiled" part of that description.
“NTFS”?! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well, that too 🤣 but:
Bad Autocorrect!
Bad, BAD, BAAAD Autocorrect!
Quite sure Boston Dynamics is not implementing those.
tell me people aren't actually trying to replace existing systems
I hate that I know exactly what this is.
Wasn't it him who described himself as a "radical libertarian", though? If there's anything that unifies the cr*pto goons it's hardcore libertarianism. I can't imagine he wouldn't be in there minting N*Ts of his pixelated toenail clippings with the rest of 'em.
This is so, so, so backhanded I love it
Web 3.0, in its entirety, consumes less energy than Christmas lights.
Where’s the outrage over Christmas lights?
Christmas lights have an actual function.
They may look pretty, but they’re not gonna send my kids to Harvard.
The last question was asked for the first time, half in jest, on May 21, 2061, at a time when humanity first stepped into the light. The question came about as a result of a five dollar bet over highballs, about what the key would be to the last ɓἲȶĉὀìῆ ever minted.

You skipped Web 2.5: information is nothing but chum to lure in our prey so we can blast their eye holes with pixels that are scientifically engineered to to deliver psychology-altering messages to their brain stems and influence their purchasing decisions
You don't sound like a communist at all, that would make sense. You sound like someone who didn't buy any ethereum.
I mean when we're doing capitalism *this badly* we deserve the ridicule
Reality will be worse than the dystopias
I like to ask people "which company do you want to win capitalism?"
that's why we go decentralized. secure scuttlebutt,earthstar,moderator,ipfs,hypercore. let web3 deprecate away, time for society 4.0
Maybe they'll finally have a use for Error 402
I like (to some extent) the original Semantic Web concept, an internet where everything is modular and can be shared on every platform, and where everything is systematized and catalogued. But now, everyone made it look like it's all about Blockchain and nothing else
The concept is nice, but to me it has always been:
"...and then we'll get Experts to verify the information and provide metadata"
"But how will we convince experts of all possible fields to annotate all the data in the world?"
"*cough* here's how the data structures look like"
Thats exactly what a 5hr meeting about blockchain boiled down to at a previous job. We couldn't even get our clients to use a standard excel doc, let alone sign up to all this tech wank.

Web 2.0: Now we're all creators/publishers

Snorted my Sleepy Time right out the nose on that one.
I hate that the Internet has picked up on the Web 3.0 term which was exclusively coined by crypto idiots to shape the narrative and act like anyone other than crypto idiots think it’s the future.
This is the first I've ever heard of Wob 3.0 and it sounds horrid
A wob is a terrible thing
to use for webbing or surfing too wobbly.
I think the transition happened when frames got super popular.
2.0 was "let's wrestle this thing into being an application platform", which laid the groundwork for some cool stuff but also the fully instrumented ad tech surveillance racket that re-centralized the web and is dissolving society slowly in acid
er, ignore the "re-" next to centralized, I'm too used to typing "re-decentralize"
One of the reasons I like the @freenetproject -- it feels very much like a time before commercialization. No server side processing, no javascript*, no ads, no trackers, no databases of user/password pairs to be leaked...
*unless explicitly enabled via userscripts or plugins.

"I'm JuSt HaViNg A cOnVeRsAtIoN"
Actually you mean "web3", "Web 3.0" predates web3. web3 is a blockchain buzzword, Web 3.0 is just the semantic web.
I allays thought Web 2.0 was ' we make a platform but you make the content that we can monetise'
That's basically the evolution of every great idea humanity has ever had.

like, I kinda wanna see web 4.0 be "oh yeah an esp32 with a small LCD and buttons/keyboards that speak over the internet to other esp32's running either services or end nodes, or both! and not need to communicate via web sockets to AWS"
I love you

Late-stage webitalism
Web 1.0: let's use the web to make the world a better place.
Web 2.0: let's use the web to make money. Oh, we can manipulate masses too.
Web 3.0: let's use the web to make money. And make the world a better place again.
If Web 3.0 means you can’t get banned by half-assed copyright AI then i’m on board
This is only correct if your interpretation of "a better place again" is a burning hellscape.
We'll end up there anyway 🤗
So let's just hasten our demise
In a sense you are right, but in another sense you are wrong. The block chain may be both of them seperately or at the same time. The difference will emerge on who is more organized, capitalists or free minds.

I still personally believe crypto-con-artists co-opted the term web3 from what it was meant to mean.
you're not wrong.
what remains is to ridicule it to the point that they give up. Or we could go straight to 4.0, a place that's actually nice.
Like the software I'm developing at work.
1.x was groundbreaking
2.x represented significant maturation
3.x kept it on the leading edge of the tech at the time
5.x was necessary re-architecting
6.x brings a really nice modern UX
4.x?
we... look, we don't talk about 4.x. capice?
I don't think that parallels directly to the web.. but also, I'd recommend semantic-release for avoiding this sort of release pattern
What I'm trying to say is that this supposed web 3.0 should be strangled in the womb just like our 4.x. ended up being. Then we can go on to nicer things.
And don't worry, we've been doing semver for a very long time. Going from major version 1 to 6 represents several decades.
Must've read that too quickly, I see now that you said semantic-/release/. I'll give it a look.
I think I'd be inclined to agree but under different pretenses. What I think web 4.0 will be is what web 3.0 was meant to be and ultimately failed at
the term has been adopted by many developers and projects... ridicule the term just makes you look ridiculous while you rant on your internet corner. But that's fine, the internet is a big place full of corners
Cool, cool, G, such valuable additive opinion. But ultimately you didn't add anything, you instead made grand gestures that just reinforce the idea you tried to contradict
Huh, which idea am I trying to contradict, according to you?
No, I just said you had such valuable input, that's all
Web has been always about making money, but this time someone else can make money besides Silicon Valley founders and VCs.
Yeah right, so Tim Berners-Lee is a billionaire right? Don't talk nonsense.
Tim Berners-Lee is a genius, but not a good business person
Have you considered that he didn't do what he did as a business move? It's a key thing Web 3.0 seem to miss. Progress doesn't need to be paired with personal profit.
People can make money on the internet right now, without using any cryptocurrencies. They are not solving any existing problem.
Web 2.0 was definitely rounded corners and "look — I found some investor money to burn though for next year or two".
literally 'making money' too, not in exchange for a product. we are the product.
This sure is a @fightfortheftr moment
There's predictions that solar flare activity will disrupt communications more than ever, haven't yet seen it happen, but if it does happen all of these NTFs are going to be among the first to go down the internet's drainhole of obsolesence!🤪
What would be web4 ? Everyone is poor here the rich are on the metaverse ?
I've been a web developer for 15 years and I'm still not sure what web 2.0 was supposed to be. These terms are meaningless to me.
The only thing I know is that I asked for a business card once and my boss said business cards aren't very Web 2.0.
So it's not business cards.
It was meant to be user authorship sort of, but really it was the rise of social media. Web 2.0 is facebook, twitter, instagram, youtube, medium, tumblr, etc. Before then you had geocities. forums and blogs which weren't quite the same.
Web 4.0: The web is for destroying the planet
find God, Satanist.
i lol'd all the same tho #seethe
Web 3.0: the web is for stealing information to make even more money.
Looks like legit progress!
So true
Web 4.0: the only human left is Jeff Bezos.
Wait. Are you saying this message that someone left a computer on wasn't a good investment?
crypto boomer discovers capitalism
Web3.0: the web is made for ads and cookies consent banners 😅
Bitcoin is the worst and ancient use case of blockchain, as long as it's used as a leash to keep cryptomarket in check, it won't thrive.
This whole metaverse and web3 is fad.
Yet still, it's about perception, you either stay out of frenzy or join it for a logical period of time.
FUD! if you hate money so much why don't you live on the street.

Web 3.0: value is being accrued to users and creators only
Web 0.1: can the military use this
I don't like this. :(
Perfect description. It’s super depressing to see the web degenerate from a platform perhaps best (although belatedly) encapsulated by the Creative Commons… sink to Web 3.0, which is a system of assigning prices to everything and value to nothing.
Web 1.0: Freebies
Web 2.0: Freedom
Web 3.0: Casino
The fuck are you talking about? I mean, jokes, but I don't even get the premise. 1.0 -> 2.0 transitioned from read to read/write and 3.0 is an undefined blob of buzzwords that changes depending on which cringe-inducing Shingy DIGITAL hypeman you ask.
Having lived through all of these, and currently being paid to write code for the web... Das tru.
What a brilliant thread. Still trying to catch my breath over here.
A single tweet that sums up why I miss the Web 1.0 days.

[insert anything you like] 1.0: [x] is for everyone!
[insert anything you like] 2.0: but what if we could make money too?
