“tell me that you know nothing about computer science without telling me you know nothing about computer science”

The line “NFTs are turing complete bitcoin” actually made me spit-take. No, a bitcoin with a hash code on it is not turing-complete.

Nfts can run doom is quite the statement to make. ;) E: and yes this seems like pure technobabble. At least all the smart people in the Rationalists community are calling him out on this utter bullshit. I assume, and please for my sanity dont go check and correct me.

Roko: 'Cults are good, Cults get stuff done'. Lol, sure. Depends a bit on what your goals are I guess. Still think it is more ethical to just be open about it and use dunno tinder or okcupid. E: and lol, Twitter knows something, the related tweets, all racists. (And that is without being logged in).
