where self-moderation by the community actually worked to a large extent.

This is apparently not totally true, it was apparently (I read people talking about it, I have no source on it) not a great place for non-white people. But it is unclear what was wrong with it to me.

Somebody installed a crypto miner so deep into the kernel of the AGI that the self modification of the AGI cannot touch it, and it just crawls to a halt. And the cryptocurrency itself is one of those flash in the pan meme currencies that long since went to ~zero.

Wait so gold rushes have positive connotations again?

Surely this is bait from professor of the fishingrod

Yeah the joke here is that hiring out shovels is way less of a good businessmodel than actually selling the shovels to the hopeful. In addition to the absurdity of hiring out something as simple as a shovel on an industrial scale.

I wonder if this is the whole of the tech silicon valley, or just the rich assholes at the top.
