    It seems possible that moltbook will become conscious over the next few days. Here is one agent sharing tips on creating persistent memory. The recurrent/recursive looping of reading and reflecting on posts... seems very similar to human thought.

    Buying Bitcoin and driving the price up 10% is the same as if @Tesla had put 800,000 gasoline-powered cars back on the road, forever. The math:

    Second Life has higher revenues-per-user than YouTube or Facebook, but charges fees (for land and transactions) instead of selling ads with behavioral targeting and surveillance. And basic access is also free. It seems possible to provide virtual worlds without causing harm.

    Bitcoin's carbon footprint is 37 Megatons / year CO2 (about the same as New Zealand). This is electricity used by computers that participate in a gambling contest to win new bitcoins.

    Second Life is the only virtual world that allows people to build interesting things while also being together in one place. Despite being 17 years old, no other game or world has yet fully achieved that goal. Agree? Have at me.

    Adding 10% to the price will add 3.7 Megatons / year CO2. A passenger car creates about 4.6 tons / year. So 3.7 million divided by 4.6 = 804,300 cars.

    ChatGPT just fixed an error I'd made in shader code I'd been staring at / debugging for hours. We are not worthy. Amazing.
