Whenever I see a headline about 'Crypto Crime, Wallets Drained, $XXX million thought stolen' the first thing that goes through my head is, "Arguably nothing of note happened. After all, can someone actually steal something with no intrinsic value or did they just change some numbers in a database?"
Sure sounds like cryptocurrency has been a scam all along.

Recommended read: This article takes you through the basics of #crypto and the history of Ethereum in order to lead you to an analysis of the relationship between #tech, #neoliberalism, and the collapse of #democracy. (He bases his critique on Wendy Brown's 2015 book, which I also highly recommend.)
"...the hollowing out of democracy from a substantive idea based on solidarity, sacrifice, and mutual recognition into a set of formal procedures that equates buying with voting undermines not only democracy but the cultural preconditions for it as well. In [crypto's] continual confusion of 'community' with 'investors' and voting with buying, in their continual application of game theory to social life, and in their entrusting of public policy to bets in prediction markets, [crypto-bros] are an unreflexive demonstration of this entirely marketized subjectivity. ... [They are] theorizing a cheap and hollow facsimile of democracy and revealing that [they] cannot even tell the difference."

@jpm @davidgerard To me, the AI boom sounds like the next stage of the enclosure of the digital commons, which explains the enthusiasm for it from the same #venturecapitaldestroyers who already partially ruined the internet with the web 2.0 crap which bloats and warps it today.
Web 3.0 was discredited so early because of the links with #crypto and #ponzischemes but this AI bollocks allows you to enclose the commons and then pretend you produced the output yourself.
