AI generates Google Maps routes and ETAs
This was posted yesterday by a retired senior officer and now corporate leader. If AI cannot even generate a map of the US accurately what is it all about?
Lunacy.

How can drawing be hard if it’s incredibly easy to pick up a pencil
I find the idea that you need to know “how to use” AI tools really funny, as if it isn’t incredibly easy to type in prompts and the marketing these tools is that literally anyone can do it

Interestingly today the DTCC (the entity that processes the vast majority of US securities, on the order of quadrillions of dollars in notional value each year) announced they're moving forward with tokenizing securities

On the AI bubble
Bubbles have massive divergences in their P/E, not structural growth like now.
Tech is an immediate beneficiary of AI in a way bubbles never are.
Hyperscalers are supply constrained with multi-year demand visibility and the market is responding rationally to spending commitments.

That's also why I don't use google translate, which pioneered and scaled transformers, the basis for LLMs.
If you use Translate you're using an AI trained on human work to produce output based on your input.
Same with Maps and ETA/route generation. Same with Netflix/Youtube recommendation engines.

Do I think I'm better than you because I *don't* use generative AI? Yes, yes I do.

Ironically, this is an issue blockchain solves. We've seen what happens when TradFi ledgers disagree on whose ledger is correct... it results in $ millions of customer deposits being up for dispute.

The EU now makes more from fines on US technology companies, than tax from all of public European technology companies combined btw.

Cash is not anonymous because if I make a bank deposit then the bank knows who I am. I am very smart.
3. But the idea that US dollars are anonymous is silly and easily rebuttable. Simply go to your bank with a shoebox full of $10,001 in cash and ask to deposit it into your account.

This is good news for everyone spending time on advancing ZK and privacy layers, they can stop now because crypto is already absolutely anonymous! The job is done!
And the mental faculties of our representatives are indeed not challenged!

2. First, crypto is absolutely anonymous. You need not prove your identity to open a crypto wallet that can buy and sell tokens, and you can send your tokens to digital mixers that wash their trail and you can hop between blockchains. So it’s a great way to do crime.

1) what?
first, nobody with an IQ above their shoe size feels mislead by the term stablecoin, especially not because of "coin"
second, you're not buying code from someone, you're paying to mutate ledger state that shows how much of a dollar redeemable token you have

The term “stablecoin” itself is misleading. These aren’t coins nor are they stable. They are a bit of computer code that you can buy for a dollar and gives the owner title to a dollar but can be infinitely and instantly transferred to any computer on the planet.

Maybe not NFT but looks like it does get tokenized, so in effect, opinions expressed ("I think X will happen, and have conviction of the opinion at Y price") on their platform are tokenized.
This might be an NFT or it might just be a fungible token for everyone that shares that opinion, idk.
