1 Someone Emails You 2 The Gate Catches It 3 Sender Sees the Payment Page - The sender clicks the payment link in the reply. They see exactly what's being held and what it costs: 4 Pay with Lightning — 15 seconds 5 Email Delivered

Inefficient human response.

You don't need to buy into the "Bitcoin will replace the U.S. dollar" narrative to buy $5 worth of bitcoin to send a few hundreds or thousands of emails..

No one goes to an arcade wanting to play a game and says "I don't know about these tokens, though..."

You buy bitcoin somewhere (if you can't figure this out yourself you arent trying)

And send it to whatever address this app provides to you..

It also gives you an avenue to accelerate your learning if that is your goal.

Some people try, most people don't.

AI makes doing almost anything easier for the people that do..

Despite the prophesied near-term obliteration of white collar work, I've never felt luckier to work in software.

Wouldn't there be a clip of her saying it?

No one has even bothered to spend the 25 cents on an AI generated one as far as I've seen.

I was recently looking for mentors to work with him and advance his skills, targeting college aged kids / young 20s..

self hosted? you mean, you install it?

it's not hard to use?

They can now combine cronjobs and LLMs with a single human sentence.

This is huge for normies.

Not so much if you already had strong development skills.

EDIT: But you are correct in the assessment that people who don't know better will use it to do simple things that could be done millions of times more efficiently..

I made a chatbot at my company where you can chat with each individual client's data that we work with..

My manager tested it by asking it to find a rate (divide this company number by that company number), for like a dozen companies, one by one..

He would have saved time looking at the table it gets its data from, using a calculator.
