Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
in Speculation
Thought: can an AI ever be imperfect in the human sense? Or is it an entirely separate entity, fundamentally different from humans? Is it a matter of scale (more neurons/synapses = more human), or is there something deeper and more profound in the human brain/mind than artificial neurons/synapses (even an infinite number of them) can't replicate?

The thing is, humans make mistakes, for example "HODL" or "pwned", which are due to mistyping, but would never draw a (human) hand with 6 fingers.

AI makes mistakes, like wrong knuckle count, legs coming out of one's neck, etc., that even a 5 year old child would never do.

I just feel there's something fundamental in the above differentiation. Something deep and profound.

Thinking out loud...

If you ask me, AI (in any form) can hardly reach a human in all his virtues or flaws. Some would say that a machine (software) can never be like a human because it has no soul. Even in SF films and series, we have examples where, by today's terms, very advanced humanoid robots struggle to reach a certain level of humanity. Perhaps the most famous example is the android Data from the Star Trek series and films, who, despite his exceptional intelligence, can never be the human he wants to be.

Re: Local sportsbook is not profitable anymore; what's the condition in your area?
in Gambling discussion
Returning from work yesterday, I felt like doing some fun activity before I got to my house. And then, I remember what if I visited a local sportsbook shop as I did in the past. On reaching there, the space was scanty. There was one other man in the shop. It took around 6 hours before another person walked into the shop. This triggered me to start a conversation with one of the workers.

You talked to the employee for 6 hours? It seems to me that there's a romance on the horizon Cool

I don't know why you are surprised that fewer and fewer people use physical bookmakers when everything is available online in just a few clicks. In the very near future, many services that were provided in physical form will completely disappear.

Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
in Gambling discussion
I honestly don't think I'll watch the World Cup, without my country's team not playing it annoys me.
I didn't watch it much before, but after 12 years of no World Cup for Italy it has really lost a lot of its appeal for me.
among other things, the fact that FIFA has inflated the prices so much makes me feel disgusted (reading from your comments)

I don't want to fatten these pigs


I read that Italy got a new coach who completely changed the team and kept only 4 players from before, focusing only on young players. That's actually the only way to reset things and start building from scratch.

I will watch some games, but definitely not those that start after midnight on a weekday, given the time difference. Whether we watch or not, they're going to make a ton of money.

Hope you enjoyed our Lego Clips (that scared the US regime shitless!) as much as you enjoyed watching the total destruction of over 50 military bases of the US regime and its Evil Axis across West Asia (estimated at least $5 trillion in damage with 15000 enemy casualties).

You killed and wounded only 15 000 people? I thought you were going to write that you destroyed hundreds of thousands around the world, considering that you have powerful weapons that you can use to target Washington, London, Paris, and pretty much any other city in the world.


By the way, this picture is much more appropriate, say, for your avatar.

Re: [V2] CryptoCardsList.com Big List of Crypto Debit Cards
in Service Discussion
Well if you have the card, can you just give the first 6-8 numbers ?

It will provide a lot of useful information. If it's a debit, credit or prepaid card and who and where it's issued.


Yes, of course, I will share with you my address and anything else you are interested in Roll Eyes

I already wrote to you that the card was issued in Hong Kong, like most similar virtual cards these days. If you want more details, you have two options - the first is to ask the admin in the group (Telegram), or to buy a card and check it first hand.

Re: CHILDRENS DAY OUTREACH PROJECT.
in Services
I like that everything was done extremely quickly and efficiently and completely transparently. I also know that it means a lot to children to get something to eat/drink, although I would have liked them to get some healthy drinks - so I'm asking if there are fruit juices (non-carbonated) in Nigeria that are packaged in Tetra Pak containers and how much do they cost compared to carbonated drinks?

Special thanks to everyone who participated in the project and I hope there will be even more of us next time.

Re: Saylor has created a fiat system on top of Bitcoin
in Bitcoin Discussion
So, let's address the elephant in the room here.

Bitcoin is a digital asset that was created as a peer-to-peer currency and as an alternative to governments and central banks' debt-based fiat money.

I often see people talking about Michael Saylor and his company, Strategy, with little understanding of the subject, but without addressing what I believe is a crucial point: what he is doing is completely contrary to the very purpose for which Bitcoin was created.
~snip~


Well, anyone who understands what Bitcoin is has probably long understood that Saylor is working for his own interests and that Bitcoin is just a tool he uses to generate as much profit as possible. The problem is of course the way he does it, but to be honest, 90% of those who own Bitcoin believe that the more coins he buys, the higher the price will be. At the end of the day, that's all that matters.

The real question is how far he can go in what he's doing, or how likely is it that the business will start to collapse at some point? These 840+ thousand BTC that he currently has is a huge amount that would destroy the price of BTC for a very long time in the event of the collapse of his company.

Unfortunately, today Bitcoin has become too dependent on individuals, companies, funds, and politicians who have one common denominator - they are all from the US.

Re: Hope pooya87 is fine?
in Reputation
I am fine. Considering that I am not a 7-year old primary school kid in Minab or a healthcare worker in a hospital, I wasn't at high risk! since these are the main targets the US regime and its weak military was capable of hitting! And that is exactly why Iran's military dominated the US military and its Axis so easily.

Congratulations on the victory against the US EU UK and all other aggressors who invaded your country to destroy all schools, kindergartens and hospitals. Now you can continue spreading your anti-Western propaganda on a forum that is located on US servers and whose admin is an American citizen Wink

Can you disclose the BIN for this card?


I honestly have no idea and I don't really care. So far I haven't had any problems with any transactions, and like most virtual cards, this one was issued in HK. Some people from the US have reported problems with paying on some US based sites, but this is because they reject cards issued in HK.
