I am happy to hear your surgery went well. I hope it is the last time you must suffer it, and your health is permanently improved to the degree possible by what has been achieved.

When I hear people talking about AI relative to Hive, I note that the potential for AI to replace people posting, voting, and aquiring stake presents an existential risk to Hive of eliminating people that cannot more efficiently acquire stake than algorithms. Eliminating users will destroy society, which is comprised only of people.

Hive is already so bad as meeting the needs of people to interact socially that there are only about 2000 people still using the platform. It will be so easy to make it less useful for organic interaction between people that it will be extremely likely to replace these last few diehards and completely eliminate Hive's utility to human beings. I'm not here to interact with toasters, and I have no interest in socializing with any people that are.

AI competing for tokens has zero utility to society, and eliminating people from Hive will render it absolutely useless to people as a means of governing themselves and speaking freely. I hope this does not happen, but I am not optimistic. HBDfunder comments reveal that significant stake on Hive has no concern for society at all, and this suggests that stake will employ AI to suck all the tokens out of the reward pool and eliminate people from Hive. I hope you competently prevent that from happening. If you don't, it was nice sharing this platform with you while we were both here.

Thanks!
