    Musk’s new Grok upgrade allows X users to create largely uncensored AI images

    The woketard histeria here is a sight to behold. Oh no, there is an outlet where people can express 'dangerous' views. Boo hoo

    US government slams Musk in court filing describing “chaotic environment” at X

    I tend to agree. Although it is important that we recognise the 'woke mind virus' - it is vile.

    Report: Musk to lay off 50% of Twitter staff, reverse work-from-home policy

    Finding out one of his sons is actually his eldest daughter, his ex leaving him for a trans woman - neither of these are indicative of transphobia. Let's not broaden this already bastardized term any further.

    Report: Musk to lay off 50% of Twitter staff, reverse work-from-home policy

    Surely we can all agree that there is a bit more nuance to this purchase than "being mad at anti-trans bigotry". Or do we have our personal outrage quotas to fulfill?

    In New Zealand, conservation is buoyed by Indigenous knowledge

    Spot on. Forcing a Maori angle into any research proposal is the best way to increase odds of getting funded. As a reviewer of grant applications, I have seen some incredibly creative and desperate attempts at framing research which is universally appealing into something Maori centric... to the...

    Elon Musk, Twitter’s next owner, provides his definition of “free speech”

    Yes. The Woketard Ars nation is out in full force. One does not need to read the comments to know which way the author is leaning - just look at the votes. But these children will grow up once they enter the real world.

    Elon Musk, Twitter’s next owner, provides his definition of “free speech”

    To be fair, have you seen the quality of the left's commentary on this forum? Equally trolly

    Elon Musk, Twitter’s next owner, provides his definition of “free speech”

    Gross generalization aside, but I agree. JP's sponsorship choices baffle me. Disagree with his general ideology or not, but someone with 3.3M subscribers need not stoop to such sponsorship choices.

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    And so the Canadian Government is signaling that banks can now freeze personal accounts of anyone linked with the anti-mandate protests. Depending on your view of the trucker protests, you may think of this as a perfectly reasonable or justified decision. But this is Canada. This could very well...

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    Sure, call me a troll. I tried to have a conversation, and we managed a couple of sensible arguments back and forth, but discussing crypto here always ends the same. This is the one topic where intelligent debate is, for some reason unknown to me, not possible. Comments, even obviously accurate...

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    Well, you've clearly lost your shit. And credibility. You are not the only one here who remembers the pre www days and who understands the tech. Get off your high horse. Also understand that there just may be people who understand blockchain and the Bitcoin standard more intricately than you...

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    Read it again, because your statement indicates that you missed my point. As pointed out by me and another person, it is not reasonable to compare crypto and fiat based on how much people use it to pay for things today. We are not comparing cash to paypal.

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    If you read the discussion more carefully, you would see that I was addressing a very specific statement about the percentage of illegal activity. I was not waffling at all, instead I quoted a number and argued that the underlying data was valid. This led to the question of what is a reasonable...

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    This sort of unhelpful comment pollutes the thread and detracts from what could be a reasonable conversation. Use Twitter - you will get more 'likes' for this sort of ridicule. (yes, I realise the hypocrisy of my comment)

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    Venmo and Zelle are both part of the traditional banking system - you transact fiat just more efficiently. Compared to what crypto is *trying* to achieve, the contributions (and challenges facing) Venmo and Zelle are absolutely trivial. Technical challenges of crypto can be overcome far more...

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    With all due respect, that is utter rubbish. You should check the adoption trajectories of other tech, such as the Internet.

    $3.6 billion bitcoin seizure shows how hard it is to launder cryptocurrency

    You are applying the same criteria for 'regular' use as one would to fiat, which is not reasonable. Crypto and fiat are in completely different phases of adoption and because the former is still largely speculative (as is any tech in it's infancy) trading is a legitimate use case. Now, you may...
