I don't think the comparison with crypto is fair.
People are actually using these models in their daily lives.
Huh, this one looks pretty cool. Is it good enough to use as a default search engine, or would it still be better to leave google for it?
Thank you for perplexity.ai, didn't know about this one
I'm currently working on my bachelor thesis and checked perplexity.ai out after I saw your comment. This is incredibly useful, thanks for sharing!
People have actually used crypto to make payments. Crypto is valuable, but only when it's widely adopted. Before you say something like "use a database," you might take the time to understand what decentralized blockchains are accomplishing and namely removing a class of corruption from any information coordination tasks.
Why bother with the overhead of blockchain when users centralise on a handful of ~~banks~~ exchanges.
Exchanges only exist to convert away from the crypto. If that's the standard money, they don't live. They aren't the banks of the blockchain. They are the intersection of fiat banks and the blockchain.
Strongly disagree, some exchanges donβt even have fiat on-ramps.
Blockchain is inefficient and pointless when users centralise on coinbase and binance.
I love revisiting comments like these every 4 years.
And yet, people still don't use crypto in their daily lives. How many years has it been?
Reddit just tied karma to the blockchain lol
Not saying it's a good use, but lots of people are going to be using it now.
Have we forgot already about the entire country of El Salvador?
You mean, the one where people immediately exchanged their free crypto for USD as soon as they got it?
Do you know of another El Salvador?
