The part about energy consumption in this case is a fallacy, since these NFT's are hosted on the Ethereum blockchain which does many many many more things than just host NFT's.

I speak with some level of authority, as a person who used to work with/for ppl in the Ethereum foundation, that sarahell is correct and none of the current applications remotely justify this sort of energy consumption.

kinda wish I could beam that Grimes art page back to satoshi so he/they could see how this shit panned out

Also if you don't specify the percentage you're giving to charity then everybody knows it's going to be 0.001% of fuck-all.

I think blockchain is good for small-scale things where the number of tokens needed and the number of transactions are both low. For instance, property records in a smaller city.

The issue is with consensus being a big issue with... idk, blockchain is terrible as used now and if you can get some tokens without mining just do it and cash out. Everyone should cash out on weird shit people trade, and as many people as possible, because shit is weird as hell out there

mh, Wednesday, 3 March 2021 02:43 (three years ago) link

basically any time I think about this for more than two minutes I go from pensive thoughts to "fuck it, cash out if you can get cash and never talk to me about blockchain again"

deciding when to not take someone seriously on political and social issues is something that’s lacking in our current marketplace of ideas

music, music videos, etc. seem fine but ol’ grimey’s world view is basically tumblr + skimming wikipedia articles

Where is grimes content, that seems to be a twelve year old girl. (n.b. I have never knowingly seen or heard her speak before.)

over a certain income/wealth level it should cost you 100k per published take on any social media format

Love it when a millionaire married to a billionaire lectures on "true equality".

Huh, she reminds me of anglo Montrealer girls I worked with in a call centre 20 years ago.

I know the boat story is old news but I can't ever shake it from my when Grimes comes up (cuz I live about a mile from where they "moored") and I love this detail from the Strib article where they talk about how you can't be Tom Sawyer anymore cuz the "man"

They got a copy of Mark Twain's "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," which neither of them had read

no clue how much money she might have in the bank, but afaict she is not married

mh, Thursday, 3 June 2021 17:53 (two years ago) link

Ok they aren't married, but are you suggesting she sees no financial benefit from her boyfriend and the father of her child being one of earth's richest people?

i feel like a lot of social media is this divide between serious self-proclaimed polymath intellectuals and ppl who are just vibing and both take issue w/grimes

mh, Thursday, 3 June 2021 17:58 (two years ago) link

xp she undoubtedly does, but I don’t really know or care? making art that kind of played around with fashion/sci-fi/tumblr nerd themes is supposedly what led her to speak with EM to begin with. she was on the silly “vibing about ai” train before they ever met!

mh, Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:01 (two years ago) link

Right, it's just that my feathers get ruffled when anyone with that much money lectures about "true equality". Even setting aside her partner's insane wealth hoarding and gross market manipulation, I can't imagine she's hurting for money.

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:07 (two years ago) link

credibility meter’s hovering near zero on that topic for sure

mh, Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:08 (two years ago) link

grimes views on pretty much everything are tone-deaf, unrelatable and irrelevant. she abandoned her community and her fans for money and power and she is hungry for more. send tweet.

was she really embedded in any community (honestly idk?) how does one abandon a parasocial relationship

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:48 (two years ago) link

I mean she was pretty embedded in the mtl arty pop scene for a few years (I was there!)

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Thursday, 3 June 2021 18:50 (two years ago) link

yeah absolutely, she was a pretty big part of Artbutus Records which was (near?) the nucleus of a certain scene; Ashl*y above was connected to that

sean gramophone, Thursday, 3 June 2021 19:00 (two years ago) link

very strange girl! (unf, i also think she might be one of those people for whom an accelerated hype-cycle is a bad thing. hope i'm wrong.)

surely it's one of the logical endpoints of the "fail early, fail often" philosophy to where you just forget the following steps and continue failing while suckering people into throwing money at you

a superficial sheeb of intelligence (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 3 June 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

Tbc the worst thing that can happen is something not being a vibe. A common criticism of the Great Leap Forward.

surely killing a vibe involves the destruction of a vibe and os therefore worse than a vibe that simply never was?
