I also think there is a common problem that people are addicted to stimulation and novelty. As soon as something doesn't give that dopamine hit of being new or interesting, something else has to be found to replace it. I think this addiction is very common in society today and manifests in internet and device addiction

I just had it write me code in a language I've never used before in my life, and actually create a script to automate something I needed automating. Pretty useful if you ask me. Might have it write me a few discord bots since I'm not familiar with the API.

Weird, I know a lot of "average joes" who have gone from complete poverty to financial security trading NFTs. I know third worlders who make orders of magnitude higher than minimum wage just grinding discord whitelists and participating in art contests and meme contests for rewards.

I mean, look at Opensea volume, it still did 2.5b last month. The nft "hype" hasn't really died at all to be honest. Yes, there were grifters like with any gold rush, but to say it's astroturfed is just totally laughable.

But the average household probably also isn't in 240k of debt unless they made very very poor financial choices.

I do this all the time. What year did this album come out? Search the name of the album and the year comes up in the sidebar. How old is this celebrity? Search the name of that celebrity and their age comes up in the snippet on the side.

You can't just leave and live in the woods like a hunter gatherer because there aren't enough people doing that to form an actual tribe.

Maybe, though I'd generally trust a smart guy to spend their money better than a bunch of random people who could be shopping at Wal-Mart and buying a Hummer for all we know...

>If Bill Gates/MS didn't do what they did, I believe another company would have

You may be right, but this is a pretty toxic belief and seems to be constantly used to justify ethically questionable things.
