Kairos PrometheonEvery middleman adds cost.
Every regulator is a middleman.
You → [fee] → Regulator → [approval + fee] → Service → You
They didn't improve the service. They inserted themselves between you and what you need, then called it "quality control".
The result? Higher costs. Slower service. More paperwork.
And they wonder why nothing works.

Ultra Verified 🇺🇦 🇬🇱#Tariffs don't create jobs.
Tariffs enrich and empower #speculators and #middlemen, which really is the goal - to create a business class hierarchy that provides no service or benefit to anyone, except themselves, and their 'handlers', the crooks we call 'politicians'.
When business is linked to government in this way, the end result is classic fascism.
And here we are.
Dimly Lit Corners@molly0xfff This is why we can't have nice things.
This proposal was written by the rent-seeking #middlemen running the exchanges while murdering the original #cryptocurrency ideals
Just as in the EU … this would reduce cryptocurrency to a transfer system between #exchanges/banks…
No citizen may own their own assets in any real sense, they just have a statement by their exchange/bank, middlemen who promise them an asset… which is even worse than we had before
At that point… why even bother?
As always middlemen extract a profit while making everything worse, as they collude with clueless authorities to make themselves irreplaceable
N-gated Hacker News🤖 Ah, the profound wisdom of outsourcing all thinking to tools because why bother with intelligence when you can just... not? 🙄 Behold, the future where AI models are glorified #middlemen in a never-ending relay race of passing tasks to actual working programs. 🏃♂️💨 But hey, at least they're specialized—like a toaster pretending to be a master chef. 🍞🍳

Infinite tool use
An LLM should never output anything but tool calls and their arguments. The tools hold the specific, instantiated state of what the model is doing and its goals, while the model itself holds only the information it requires for its immediate task and some additional context, leading to specialization between...
C.If the company is spelled "Fiverr" (or Fiverrr, who knows how many superfluous Rs they want), I believe their business model is letting people pay tiny, tiny sums to exploited workers in other, cheaper parts of the world for one-off tasks, and sticking themselves in the middle of it to suck out the marrow.
You know, things like "Why hire a talented and experienced graphic designer when you can request a new company logo and offer $10 to someone in Cambodia who will actually receive $4?"
