   i didn't imagine i'd get into database tech only to see a distributed database become the cornerstone of a ponzi scheme. i definitely imagined this stuff was too arcane for that

     @garbados I watched some video that included a "NFTs are the future for music producers" take, and that was basically it. "It's amazing because it's fantastic" 🤔

     "It's like a permanent receipt! Gone are the days of someone screwing you out of your royalties" 🤔 🤔 🤔

     @garbados me, in the hypothetical back row: *mumbles a thing about screwing people contractually, as well as the hackability of crypto in general*

     @poiseunderchaos it's like the idea of "labor power" is a bizarre combination of inverted and unthinkable to these dolts

     Exactly my reaction to that quote the other day about how smart contracts would take us from "don't do evil" to "can't do evil"; It applies to a very particular, very narrow form of evil and leaves all the far more common evils out.

     @clacke @garbados Yes, exactly. People are not asking the sort of questions that should always be asked when "contracts" are involved, favoring "smart" instead.

     It's the new "If you add the letter 'e' to your brand, its stock valuation goes up", but worse.
