The question of whether we'll be uploading our consciousness to a computer is no longer if. It's probably when. That's because these digital consciousnesses – our essences – will likely be the product of an AI's interpretation of ourselves. The breadcrumbs we'll leave across digital files, images, videos, audio recordings, and, of course, all that social media will be an ample resource to reconstruct you.

Unfortunately a side hustle for me is buying cars, putting in some work, and flipping them. Facebook Marketplace has a grasp on the personal classified ads. Craigslist still exists, but results are slim in my area.

I really hate it because I’ll go to look at cars, but end up scrolling mindlessly on the feed.

    Do you get scammers much?

    I tried looking for camera lenses, logged out and with some scripting, and ran into some pretty clear scams immediately. Like no-one is even policing the site.

    Depends on how you view it. If you’re just a buyer, I feel it’s pretty easy to spot scams. Though there are absolutely exceptions to that.

    As a seller though, a constant barrage of scammers, dumbasses, and low ballers alike.

    I fully agree about the moderation. I don’t think there is enough moderators to keep up with how many listings are up.
