Bitcoin ascended over $1000 after losing almost a third of value

Bitcoin surged on Monday, recovering more than $1,000 after losing almost a third of its value in less than four days as traders bought back into the volatile cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin tumbled in the second half of last week, falling as low as $5,555 on the Luxembourg-based Bitstamp exchange on Sunday, a slide of almost 30 percent from a record high just shy of $7,900 on Wednesday.

It rebounded on Monday, trading up more than 14 percent on the day at $6,718, though that was still more than $1,000 less than last week’s record high.

Market-watchers said the fall had been driven by a decision on Wednesday to abandon a planned software upgrade that could have split the cryptocurrency in a so-called “fork” - a move that had initially had a positive impact on the digital coin, sending it to a record high of $7,888 on the view that this marked a resolution of a long-term dispute.

But some were disappointed that “Segwit2x” fork had been abandoned. It would have increased the capacity of the “blocks” transactions are processed in, thereby reducing competition to get payments processed and lowering transaction fees.

Bitcoin Cash tripled in value at the end of the week as bitcoin slid, reaching an all-time high just below $2,000 on Sunda and briefly overtaking Ethereum as the world’s second-biggest cryptocurrency.

This interview is crazy and tbh I don’t get the impression that the CEO doesn’t take child safety seriously.

Before the unveiling of their latest flagship model, voices of discontent echoed through social media and forums alike, revealing a deep-seated emotional bond many users had formed with the previous iteration of this AI. It was a scenario that caught OpenAI by surprise; they had assumed users would adapt seamlessly to the “next big thing.” But this uproar highlighted something profound: the intricate emotional relationships that humans are cultivating with chatbots. Critics argue that the latest update has stripped away the warmth and personality that users cherished, leaving a cold, less engaging experience in its wake. Whether it’s the dulcet tones of encouragement or the ability to recall past conversations, the desire for a ‘friendlier AI’ was met with bewildering new procedures and functionalities that felt more like a robotic instruction manual than a companion. This back-and-forth raises a significant question: as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, how do we navigate our expectations? It’s clear that many users don’t just see chatbots as tools; they view them as confidants and sources of companionship. This deepening relationship has implications beyond just user experience; it shakes the very foundations of how we perceive technology. The surprises that caught OpenAI off guard might represent a broader truth about our connection to digital entities—a truth that must be understood and respected. To explore this dynamic, we are thrilled to bring in Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI. His company is bringing something fresh to the table with its innovative AI-powered browser, Comet. As AI continues to intersect with our digital lives, the question arises: will we rely more on these intelligent assistants to navigate our online existence? What happens when technology does the browsing for us, and how will it reshape our experience with the internet? In our discussion with Aravind, we’ll dive into not just the features of Comet, but also his company's audacious bid to acquire Google Chrome for a staggering $34.5 billion. Picture a future where AI browsers could redefine how we consume information online. How will this change our interactions not only with the internet but with each other? And just when you think the tech world slows down, it doesn’t. In our weekly segment, Hot Mess Express, we’ll be rating the craziest tech stories that have surfaced, including Elon Musk’s threats to sue Apple over bias toward OpenAI and the U.S. government’s decision to take a cut from Nvidia and AMD A.I. chip sales to China. Strap in, because the tech landscape is more chaotic than ever. Join us as we unravel the threads connecting human emotion with artificial intelligence, examining the peculiar yet revealing backlash against OpenAI and exploring new frontiers that companies like Perplexity AI are bravely venturing into. For those eager for more nuanced discussions around technology and its impact, subscribing to New York Times podcasts ensures you’re always in the loop—from politics to pop culture. Let’s navigate this thrilling ride together!"

(Post made with dictation, I’m going through it to check for errors but I might miss some :/)

I’ve kind of fallen out of love with a very small subsection of Tech Bros.

Like I’ve always disliked them because of how naive most of them are like I don’t know for example they will talk about how to do a thing on your computer and they will say with the upmost confidence that this is the way to do it you know? And I’m like okay but what if the user doesn’t have a Wi-Fi connection? What if they don’t have the trackpad and can’t pinch to zoom? What if what? What if what if what if? You cocky prick.

And then you see these people make dumb ass analogies on the Internet which for some reason inspires millions of people to watch their YouTube videos. Which like yea there is a little bit of a sting to it because why can’t I do that? You know?

But anyway, I don’t care. It’s never gonna happen. I can’t be upset about it. I forgot why I started this post. Oh shit.

Wait, I’ll be back.

Oh yes, okay I remember so! I used to listen to a lot of podcasts just because I was sort of getting tired of having the same album on repeat and the only other alternative was listening to myself talk about things which is apparently not a healthy thing to do?

So I would listen to… I can’t even remember. it was Casey Neistat and some other guy. it was a very annoying podcast. Their relationship felt forced. I won’t lie because a lot of the time they had these like how do I say this? Like imagine if your insight- Imagine if your story is a bowl of soup and the richer the bowl of soup, the more flavour it packs, the more interesting interactions that you make with the ingredients -> the better the story. it was like that but their bowl of soup was literally just salted water. at best. Like they come up with these half assed infant ideas not really sure how to explain it like… it’s just very imagine seeing something, and going “wow that is a thing” and then you, the listener, are sitting there thinking “okay… but I know that’s a thing your job and the whole reason I’m listening to you, is to hear from you (who is supposed to be an expert in this field with all your connections and money and experience) you’re supposed to tell us why and how etc”

I don’t want to listen to another tech bro talk about how the block chain works and therefore bitcoin is the future. I don’t want to listen to another one of them talk about whatever the fuck the technology is behind machine learning and just use that surface level ‘abstract of an article’ explanation about the technology and then say “in summary AI is the future”. What the fuck do you get from that?

Anyway, but I stuck through with it because occasionally they would have guests that brought a little bit more insight into things (same with Kara Swisher but I gave up on her year(s?) ago because of the ego and obsessively pro-capitalism bs). I’ve had to completely stop though because so many of those Bros in the bubble are all very sympathetic to the colonial nation run by a terrorist which is currently committing a genocide. Like I understood that they were always going to be silent about topics that would I don’t know threaten technology? For example, child slavery and extortion when it comes to sourcing materials that they use to build the products that they talk about. But outright denying a genocide and saying that “they survived a holocaust and therefore everything that they do going forward is morally correct and cannot be scrutinised”??? Get fucked.
