I didnt say they werent usefull for other activities, i sayed its main use is for criminal activity, and i didnt sayed nor imply that it should be abolished. And money abolition in an of itself i suport acctually, but that would imply private property abolition, witch would be nice if it was made in a sociodemocratic way but with the current state of affairs i doubth it. And also i know that you where arguing it in bad faith as a wathabaoutismso that makes me think you already decided im wrong, so what is a man? A misserable little pile of secrets, but enough talk, have at tee (not really thoug). And while i too worry about privacy and fully suport it, but money in itself is not private since is part of the stablishment and what keeps it going. Block chain is a technology that solves an already solved issue in a very clever, but enviormentally hostile way. And since is outside of banks and control from the government, its gonna be the wild west in more litteral ways than one, since its mainly adopted by criminal organisations and outlaws, but it still is usefull for the type of people you already mentioned. So imo its not gonna be the future of finances or ownership on the internet that would be the abolotion of digital ownership when it comes to software, not privacy, and besides, an argument i hear a lot for bñockchain is that you will be able to sell used dogotal goods like videogames and other media…do you really whant that? To buy used software? Why not buy it directly from the publisher? Do you think the publisher is gonna allow you to do that? Besies Some one is gonna torrent it somewere on the internet, the fact that is digital and can be copyed with no limit and it doesnt degrade kinda solves scarcity, at least on a digital level, so… yeah, all of this is kinda meaningless when you take that into account i think.
The problem is that is used for illegal shit moslty. Be it the aformentioned or scams. And the problem is that money as a concept is centraliced and controled by whatever entity holds the most of whatever is based on, be it gold or whatever. It shouldnt but it is. And the whole " you better use reddit since you suck centraliced feet" thing, to that i say to you grow up.
Thats wy i think we should build an A.I. overlord so that it replaces our current leadership like politicians and the entire market bussines specially the top, so that it can exploit resources in a reneuable way that is already possible right now but you know… lobying and fucking oil companies, and redistribute them to the population in a just way incluiding but not limited to food (nice food not rations), housing, medical services, psichological support (but the real one not the human resources bullshit), entertainment and internet access, and eventually be able to make custom orders like custom furniture, video game capable aparatus, modifing your house, travel and even swimmimg pools and ice cream. Besides i think our survival hinges on us making something about our leadership since there is at least one major problem that we need fixed that our current leadership is not gonna solve i.e. golbal warming, since they rather sell their souls and their people to the oil companies, and replacing them (even with a coup) is just gonna put more corruptible people that are gonna get bought out by some other straigth up cartoonishly evil entity, or they themselves turning into it or being overtrown by it, and destroying the entity would require a massive effort and thats not happening without mass destruction and even if it is destroyed another one will rise up from the chaos caused by the anti corporate war. So the sollution would be a singularity level A.I.
I ussually dont like to get into LGB+ shenanigans (specially T&Q) since it allways devolves into slapfighting, virtue signaling and raiding (by both parties btw) , but im gonna risk it by sticking my nose in here and say that you have a really good point in the fact that the kids are getting forced into a political fight thats harasher than what they are prepared for and preferably shouldnt even be involved in and become a target themselves. But i dont think the solution should be banning it althogeter, maybe just having harsher penalties for constant attacks against them for that in particular (specially from adults) and with the children i say that they are still gonna get picked on for being orfaned so thats really not something thats gonna get solved by legislation, but an aspect of the fact that school fucking sucks, period, and the only solution is for schools to enforce protection on children in special circunstances.
But all that kinda goes down the toilet when you realise that child protection services sucks monkey ass and will leave kids with fucking satan if he manages to check enough boxes for the requiremnts to get orphan kids and their goberment paychecks.
I love very much your counter arguments and the fact that you are bringing them up specially since they are exactly the ones i have too, but il try to adress them:
1.- The A.I. that im calling project overlord, and im just gonna call it OV from now, should be abble to build armed drones and armored vehicles that while would preferably be operated by OV itself, its gonna need autonomous A.I. because of practicality (developed by OV preferably), while you see OV is not a babysitter and can use guns and cause harm and even kill, otherwise its rise to power would be impossible and it wouldnt be able to defend humanity from external forces, sounds bad but the other solution that i can think of its that it beats us at our own game by and starts a company, makes it succesfull (mostly by ussing unethical practices and having good p.r) and then starts buying other companies and starts lobying the governments so that it can make changes both for the betterment of humankind and its rise to power until it can get as much people that recieve orders directly from OV as posible into congress or ministries or whatever the name is of the council of clowns that rules the region of the worlds countries, and throught international cooperation it would eventually break borders, little by little start making work optional, and offer mental healt programs that are focused on self betterment and not deal with corporate work until everyone is united as not a cpuntry but as humankind and the A.I. finnaly reveals itself. The problem is that is gonna be found out eventually by inteligence agencies and its gonna have to resort to the first method
2.- Either as a colaborative oppen source efort from the internet denicens themselves, or (even if i sound fucking looney) me, but the me option only works for me, i dont think other people will think that, neither do i but is the only way i could be shure of it, and even if i try to make OV not be biased it will end up being biased in certain issues and not have the best aproach to things and even if i dedicate my entire life to studing A.I. and geting money and people to fund OV as a Nongov institutuion ill doubt i could pull it of by myself and make it good since im a terrible option for it right now. So the real answer is thats is just worked on as a collaborative effort from the internet, kinda like open source software or something like that but the devs need to be a little versed i philosofy at least at the level of what “The good place” says, as for me, im gonna go into studdying A.I. development as soon as i crawl out of this hole that im at in my life, but i wont make any promises, after all im corruptible to.
3.- Its probably just gonna be a mather of giving it time, but if im being honest i dont think we need something that advenced like a singularity level entity like OV, We could do with something that the very least does something more simple like the redistributing resources at a logistical level, and such thing could work as long as it could be respected in the level of constitutions, or human rights, not that is not questioned, but respected and defendable, how that could be done i really dont have any idea other that it being fire tested. Otherwise, the secret to it might be in quantum computing, but its not like we can jack up a quantum computer to OV and call it a day, since quantum shit is like twilight zone level maths, and is dificult to wrap ones head around so its still probably a risky bet.
Sorry for bad english, wall of text and no TL;DR but i dont think i can express all of this in a smaller text
Thats why it should be in a singularity level, so that it can go fix those biases if they are ever present, and i dont wanna sound intolerant or anything, but i think bigger issues that lead to biasses having a bad effect would be solved before hand, like scarcity, amd i dont know if i mentioned this but it should be abble to give psicological treatment (the real one not the human resources bullshit) so that crime would be mittigated as much as possible since everyone could be as hedonistic as morally possible and be lucid and aware of it so that they pursue more fullfiling activities like self betterment or other things like art, science, exploration, philosofy (yess really), making friends and meting people or being with their loved ones. I mean something like the novel series The Culture. And besides tech bros are asholes, and if a corporation whants to make it will probably end up as skynet or that ill simply perpetuate the system we have now, so it would be preferable that it be made kinda like the way linux was made and i wanna say bitcoin but theres a high chance that that was made by shadow forces so nah. Just so that you know what our leadership does for climate change, check this out.
Thats why i propose we build an A.I. overlord to replace our leadership, corporate and gobernment, since they will always default to making desisions against the needs of their populations and just serve their own interests (Case in point: global warming). If we have a singularity level A.I. it would be able to expliot our natural resources in a renewable way amd distribute them justly and automate all labor, and be able to defend humans from any danger, making us something like The Culture from the novel series of the same name.

Check out “you suck at cooking” (thats the name of the channel), while its recipes are very good and uses cheap easy to get ingredients and real, the procedures are ironic and made like a parody of cooking videos, its very entertaining but not as usefull if you whant to use the video as a step by step guide althought you can still use them as one, provided that you get the joke, but if you are willing to have some patience then you are not gonna be disapointed.
Mostly specific videogame comunities, specially the most obscure ones like ace combat, armored core, wolfenstein, doom wads, and etc. I also miss the monster hunter sub, it was kinda cool to look at clips of players making lucky impossible shots or failing misarebly, i havent checked out if there is even an active one here on lemmy, but ill doubt is as active as the reddit one.
Why is a bot replying to me and why does it have 8 upvotes and i dont have even a downvote? You seem fishy. But to answer you mr roboto, those that are saying vaccine bad ussually are religious nuts that try to force their crazy down peoples throats and get violent about it (as violent as the internet can allow at least) and start spamming and using tools like you to do that, or propaganda if you will, and is not if the goverment should is that if they would since you guys cant really do anything about it if your tweet abut a vaccine chip using orphans bones is taken down can you? The goverment pushes whatever shit they whant be it good or bad as long as its convinient for them. Now should they censor, no, censorship is bad, but the shit you guys are deffending is propaganda thats ill intentioned, be it by religious nuts or the russian goverment, and it just exist to cause chaos. My comment isnt telling you vaccine bad or good, it doesnt hurt the governments agenda and its probably to uninteresting to catch the attention of those nutters so il say that is just gonna be ignored.
Every time you drink anything or are near running wather youl get splashed in the groin and would look like you peed yourself.
