It took me awhile to remember who Craig Wright was, and then recalled due to a sticker I stole that now lives on one of my motorcycle side cases.

I remember this sticker appearing in the old Buttcoin site in the bad place, so when I came across it in the wild, I stole it because I love a well-done troll. Butter sticker with Craig Wright troll

A New York Times profile describes how nChain staffers would “tape Dr Wright’s ramblings about obscure technical matters and then share the recordings with a staff of researchers, who were instructed to turn his musings into patents”.

so chatbots are "democratizing" whatever the fuck he was doing, and probably he's running gas town now instead
