@thomasfuchs Forty years ago last month I got my first software development job.
So it's about forty years and 30 days since I first heard someone say "... and we won't need programmers any more".
@thomasfuchs My nephew works in tech and he's pulled this shit with me on crypto/blockchain and NFTs and every time I'm like, "Eh, I don't think so, guess we'll see." To his credit, he didn't bother reaching out to prophesize about AI to me 😂
@thomasfuchs Lol this was great, and so true. Gotta love hype cycles, especially when they get out of control
@thomasfuchs Mars! We are going to settle Mars
@thomasfuchs "The safety of steel between pedal and wheel."

@thomasfuchs Buy a plot on Mars now!
@thomasfuchs this man is a prophet

@thomasfuchs there was that whole metaverse land rush. Like better get some virtual real estate now before it all... goes?
Was also a way of younger people locked out of the real housing market to have some sort of property ownership. Not sure how having a metaverse island makes you less homeless.
@thomasfuchs I think what you are referring it possible obviously you leading a great operation
@thomasfuchs can someone explain to me how they tied crypto to a fiat currency? Where is the inherent value in a bitcoin?
@crumbletiltskin @thomasfuchs The inherent value is in mass delusion. Or I guess in faith that money, launderers and drug dealers will always need a way to do their business. 🤷🏻♂️
640KB should be enough for everyone.
@thomasfuchs @steltenpower MOOCs will replace education and badges your degrees
