    Buying a house for coins and a special handshake sounds like something you’d overhear in a remote jungle village that’s never made contact the outside world, yet it’s coming from some guy on the fucking internet.

      I suppose you could buy a house for whatever 10 silver coins are worth. The important missing variable is somebody willing to actually sell it. Sovcits seem to strangely think other people are onesidedly bound by contracts they invent.

      Sadly, access to technology doesn’t make someone intelligent.

      Kinda’… begs the question about how “AI” could ever be smart, either, even if it did “think”. Cannot wait for the day when those services start to intentionally gaslight people… (oh wait! it already happens without its own thoughts. Like how Grok tows a few Nazi lines these days…)
