i thought about buying a uv-c light once to stick inside a leather boot that had a moldy smell. never occurred to me to use one as a vibe light
seems very appropriate that this happens in hong kong, bastion of unregulated, free-market capitalism where nothing is unavailable for purchase to the general public, not even cancer-causing skin burning UV-C bulbs

ha a#z bribed kickstarter into going blockchain with predictable results https://archive.ph/UZv4s
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:24 (six months ago) link
am i being dim or is it nowhere explained in this article what actual specific benefits the blockchain was intended to deliver?
― mark s, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:51 (six months ago) link
allowing people to make their own kickstarter inside kickstarter? i mean its crypto it doesnt have any benefits
Users, meanwhile, would be able to create mini platforms of their own around niche interests like anime, bringing in more people and splitting any profits with Kickstarter. This structure, which would echo other initiatives like Farcaster, did not require donors to pay with cryptocurrencies but would entail Kickstarter’s creating an entirely new, open-source version of its existing software that would be built on top of a blockchain that had never been tested by a massive consumer application.
― lag∞n, Monday, 11 March 2024 16:54 (six months ago) link
the benefit of blockchain was they were getting $100M

"Be it so," I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and again offering him my arm. He leaned upon it heavily. We continued our route in search of the Blockchain. We passed through a range of low arches, descended, passed on, and descending again, arrived at a deep crypt, in which the foulness of the air caused our flambeaux rather to glow than flame.

interesting they were buying out shareholders rather than investing in the company, also the deal wasnt contingent on kickstarter actually doing the blockchain stuff, effectively they were just acquiring shares and recommending crypto

something that bothers me is people just dumped all this money on him calling him a generational genius then you hear him talk and hes all yeah so uh you put money in the program then uuhh so its a ponzi scheme and more money comes out, hes keeping spreadsheets called crimes go in here, just not even good at scamming, but silicon valley rolled the red carpet out for him, shameful, media repeating all his blatant bs about trying to save the world, i want to see a master manipulator at work not this privileged dweeb

there's probably an argument to be made for a smart but socially tone deaf kid getting way in over his head and cutting corners in ways he didn't know were illegal and committing major errors which he didn't know how to dig out of but that really doesn't seem to be the case here
― frogbs, Thursday, 28 March 2024 17:24 (five months ago) link
he repeated the lie today about how ftx couldve survived if there wasnt a run on deposits which was just not true, i wonder if he believes it, seems like vcs giving him all that money went to his head, when the story first broke his plan was to go to congress and persuade them that everything was cool, he considered himself the best salesman in the world, lol

yeah theres tons of evidence he was knowingly doing fraud the entire time, i mean maybe he thought it was ok because hes a crypto guy so laws dont apply idk, pretty dumb if so
― lag∞n, Thursday, 28 March 2024 17:27 (five months ago) link
He just seems like a sociopath who developed a schtick that was close enough to his "real" self that it kind of fooled some people for a while. Although my theory is that low interest rates are kind of like booze, and the lower they are and the longer they last, the lower the bar gets for hot. Like the guy came off as a buffoon, and the narrative seemed to be "he comes off as a buffoon which proves he is a genius." It was all kind of thin to begin with.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 28 March 2024 18:00 (five months ago) link
yeah if you have a fund you have to invest the money somewhere and crypto was hot so why not say the guy is a genius, but i do think due to various incentives a lot of people believed it, they considered themselves geniuses too no doubt tho
