    A New York Times profile describes how nChain staffers would “tape Dr Wright’s ramblings about obscure technical matters and then share the recordings with a staff of researchers, who were instructed to turn his musings into patents”.

    so chatbots are “democratizing” whatever the fuck he was doing, and probably he’s running gas town now instead

    It took me awhile to remember who Craig Wright was, and then recalled due to a sticker I stole that now lives on one of my motorcycle side cases.

      I remember this sticker appearing in the old Buttcoin site in the bad place, so when I came across it in the wild, I stole it because I love a well-done troll. Butter sticker with Craig Wright troll
