I feel like there was such a strong drive and movement around that in around 2021, encompassing BTC on chain, Lightning, and even BCH. And then suddenly it all just stopped. In fact since the 2022 bear I haven't seen anyone really even suggest it.

I think that's a bit of a red herring though because those aren't the crimes that victimise ordinary bystanders. It's always been the case that most murderers know their victims, same with shootings. What people are worried about is low level petty lawlessness, thievery, and assaults. So it's a red herring to say that you're less likely to be killed in a world where you feel less safe. Especially if you're looking at just total numbers, and not someone's personal numbers. E.g I'm not going to suddenly join a gang on the wrong side of town and get into a shooting.

This is bang on. Unfortunately though that means growing little economies from grass roots, rather than relying on corporate adoption. And that means merchants wanting to accept it, off the books, no paper trail, which ironically in a very digitised world is actually less likely.

I don't know, that just looks degenerate to me.

Why will you be up all night?

That's interesting because I'm finding the opposite. I thought when Fable was released that 4.8 was dumbed down, but now that Fable has been taken down that they've made 4.8 great again.

Just to help me understand this, why would I run a napp over an app? What's the benefit, either for a developer or even for a user? I'm not doubting this is incredible, i'm just struggling to process what this is.

China?

The only solution is for people to grow a conscience and just fully open source the models.

It's pretty shocking. Actually a very aggressive move, and it points to a future where there's a whole new category of 'global south' countries

My wonderful wife, who is a self published author, has her new kickstarter campaign launching soon. She's been working incredibly hard on it (honestly countless hours go into setting up special editions like this, let alone actually writing the books), so if you're at all interested in romantic fantasy fiction, please do check it out, and I hope you enjoy: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/victoriajprice/a-legacy-of-storms-and-starlight
