Our technology should not advance faster than our humanity. 🤔
Is that another damn AI picture? How can you post it? You always warn about the dangers yourself, don't you?
Yes it is #AI generated and yes I warn of the dangers. Unfortunately, my posts without pictures are mostly ignored. I also have the feeling that most people don't really understand the extent of the threat. Pandora's box can no longer be closed. We can only try to deal with it #responsibly. I do think there's a difference between posting AI images and developing #Skynet.
I am working on a #FAQ on the subject of AI and hope to have enough time over Christmas to present the first parts of it to you. So please stay tuned and continue to be critical.

But as the token hit a $1 million market cap, the #kid promptly sold and dumped his bag, resulting in the token’s price falling 54% in a matter of seconds. This has been defined as a rug pull by on-chain data visualization company, Bubblemaps.
...
After the rug, the kid created another token called I’m Sorry (SORRY), which hit a $4.5 #million market cap after he sold at the $400,000 level for just over $13,000. Then another token based on his dog (LUCY) hit a $3.8 million #market cap, after he split his supply, selling around $20,300 worth when the token was around a $700,000 market cap.

"With full respect for tax sovereignty, we will seek to engage cooperatively to ensure that ultra-high-net-worth individuals are effectively taxed. Cooperation may include exchanging best practices, fostering debates on tax principles, and developing anti-avoidance mechanisms, such as addressing potentially harmful tax practices. We look forward to continuing discussions on these issues within the G20 and other relevant forums, drawing on the technical contributions of international organizations, universities, and experts," says the document, whose final content was approved by consensus.
