    Nobody wrote a book called “if anyone builds it everyone dies” about crypto. At worst they thought it might destabilize national currencies but, importantly, no economists thought that. No one in finance thought that. No one who knew how financial systems worked thought crypto was anything to worry about.

    Tech workers, people without financial ties to Al one way or another, people who do understand these systems are sounding alarms. No one is listening.

      not literally, but plenty of people were talking about how it work destroy and topple governments and usher in a new world order and/or lead to liberate from the oppression of the state and some new utopia. and those were the evangelists trying to sell it to you… just like these AI workers are.

      and it works. drama sells. people love it. reason why most popular posts on reddit are all relationship drama.
