    Yup. I’m ok with having a negative, poorly backed opinion of grifters who’s lies fall in to my area of professional expertise. And if one of those grifters get butthurt about it, all the better. If they didn’t want to be offended by people not liking their bullshit, they shouldn’t be active detriments to society at large.

      We don’t do the right thing for other people we do it for ourselves

        Sure. And the right thing is not tolerating grifters.

            You imply I am a grifter? Quite the stretch. I’m curious how you got there. A vague reference to my profession brands me as such?

              I did no such thing. I am taking issue with your ridiculous strawman you “feel” exists.

                Ok fair, that misinterpretation is on me.

                I feel like both of us have lost our minds with what a dumb thread this is.

                I’m allowed to strongly associate two groups of people who I’ve found to have similar patterns of behavior. You’re allowed to dislike me for having an opinion you dislike.

                Or you’re a real AI whom I’ve offended and for which I apologize. That’d be a fun end to this nonsense.

                  Not about an opinion I don’t like. You built a strawman and I called you out on it.

                  Is it just remotely possible that people could think of cryptocurrency as a scam/tool for criminals and at the same time be into automation tech? Well, no not in your worldview. It is a “circle” in venn diagram form.

                  Into automation —> into crypto --> techbro (whatever the fuck that means)

                  And of course it’s circular. If you are a “techbro” it means you are into crypto and into automation.

                  Don’t think this is a valid inference structure? Well you made it. And ironically in a thread calling out other people for not being rational.

                  Anyway I wouldn’t worry, not like you are going to learn from this. You will just slap some label on me like “techbro” assume I have whatever strawman opinions you want me to have and move on to be “right” somewhere else. Heaven fucking forbid people don’t fit in some neat little box. Sorry, venn circle.
