These kinds of proclamations have that LinkedIn post vibe where I imagine some poor engineer just marking things as AI generated so the boss doesn't bother him about their silly metric.

Thats a weird way for Coinbase to announce they're going out of business.

(This is almost my catch phrase at this point, its kinda wild)

This is... deeply troubling for a crypto exchange...

This metric sounds like an incentive to add a bunch of unnecessary lines of code, so a higher percentage of the codebase is AI-generated.

I thought we knew better than to use volume of code as a metric.

Why is it always Coinbase with these douchey statements?

    They're basically the GoDaddy of crypto

    Their entire business is around the facilitation of illegal gambling, large scale fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, terrorist financing, and drug trafficking, with a tiny percentage of semi-legitimate users. Their founders have consistently behave like narcissist, who are always the victim in every situation and believe the rules shouldn’t apply to them.

    It would be shocking if they weren’t always disgracing themselves

      I saw an ad[0] recently and was in disbelief it was an actual, official Coinbase ad. It’s making fun of the lower class and deprived areas of the UK with the implication people should gamble away their money on crypto in hopes of a better life.

        I've seen this around, they're pretty damn gross, and far too political for commercial advertising in the UK IMO.
