The AI maximalists say that we need AI to do all the jobs so that we can be freed to do more meaningful things like make art and read to our children. But then they also want AI to make art and read to our children. So what exactly will be left for humans to do? The answer, though they won’t admit it, is that we get to be passive consumers sitting around slack jawed staring at screens until we die. That’s the only form of happiness these people can conceive of. It’s all any of us should want, as far as they’re concerned.

The anti-Strategy Bitcoin maximalists are watching a corporation convert the liabilities of the fiat system into permanent Bitcoin ownership and getting angry because the conquest contains spreadsheets. Apparently hyperbitcoinization was supposed to arrive barefoot through a farmers market.

Looks like the Bitcoin maximalist "have fun staying poor" chickens are coming home to roost. DISCLAIMER!!! Normal, innocent people lost a lot of money because they trusted the bigger voices. This is very tragic and not their fault. They don't deserve to lose money, and they shouldn't be mocked. Those who led them to lose everything, however, should be. That's what this is. For years, ever since the block size wars, toxic Bitcoin maximalists mocked everyone with a difference of opinion and interest in other projects. The mantra: "Have fun staying poor." Petty, shallow, and cruel. Repeated every time some project didn't perform well in the charts, or when a protocol or company was hacked. Used to discourage people from using actual open source, decentralized, freedom-enabling tech. They viciously mocked the less fortunate while propping themselves up as the purveyors of the true, trusted, and foolproof way of securing your wealth for future generations. Well, now the chickens have come home to roost. ColdCard, the "Bitcoin-only" hardware wallet of choice, was exploited due to poor design, losing people untold millions of their savings. The same week, Bitcoin Judas Michael Saylor, their god whose only trick was to buy Bitcoin forever and make everyone rich, announced he's selling $5 billion more in Bitcoin. As mentioned above, I don't want to see people lose money. I don't delight in human misery. But the perpetrators of so much of this are finally seeing their empire of lies crashing down, and I have a keen interest in salting the earth there so that it never grows back to harm anyone ever again. If you haven't mocked a toxic maximalist influencer yet today, maybe this graphic will be useful to you.
