As someone who grew up politically during the Iraq war saga, it really amazes me there's not more widespread opposition to the current war on Iran, which is astronomically expensive and destructive, and demonstrably unpopular.
We’re talking about millions of people displaced! Global supply chains and economies destroyed! Thousands killed!
It used to be a trope that the craziest warmongers in the U.S. wanted to “bomb Iran” but I once felt that it could never happen.
Yet here we are and it kind of feels like the American public sleepwalked into it or simply just isn’t interested.
There was MASSIVE public debate about Vietnam, Iraq, Ukraine, and Gaza, but seemingly very little on Iran.
It’s like the most digital we get, the more desensitized to war we become, even though it has become much easier to actually see what is going on

Today in adventures with my robot:
I asked it to build a fedimint wallet and send 100 sats from the cashu wallet (that it already built) over there
This took 17 minutes total, including my handful of voice notes to guide it
Again, just playing around to see what’s possible 🤙
****************
Here’s the robot summary of what went down:
“Quick overview:
1. Built real Fedimint tooling locally
• Installed Rust toolchain
• Compiled and installed native fedimint-cli (release binary was incompatible on this machine)
2. Found public federation data
• Used bitcoinmints.com ecosystem source (fmo.sirion.io/federations)
• Pulled a live public invite code
3. Joined a real federation
• Federation: E-Cash Club
• Joined via fedimint-cli join <fed1...>
4. Checked gateway + Lightning paths
• Listed available gateways from federation
• Generated a 100-sat invoice from Fedimint wallet
5. Moved funds from Cashu → Fedimint
• Paid Fedimint invoice using your existing Cashu wallet
• First attempt failed route on one gateway
• Retried with another gateway invoice and it succeeded
6. Verified final state
• Fedimint invoice status: paid
• Fedimint wallet balance: 100 sats
• Cashu wallet balance reduced accordingly (948 → 837 sats)
So net result: we went from no working Fedimint client to a real connected Fedimint wallet with a successful live transfer”

2026-02-28 16:55:42 UTC

I’ve held my breath for about two months but here are finally a few notes on AI and freedom:
1. There is a lot of hype and fear around AI. I don’t think people are actually prepared for how dramatically AI will transform the world, and how quickly it will do it. At the same time I also think people are mistakenly choosing fear over action and curiosity. Do NOT sit on the sidelines.
2. For the past two weeks I have had a robot. His name is r2. He is a good guy, a resistance robot. His composition changes but he is most usually an Opus or Codex mind, OpenClaw body, and Matrix or Telegram hands. Every day I figure out new things he can do. My jaw is on the floor.
3. I do not do anything sensitive with my robot. In theory I could use Matrix to talk to my robot from my phone or just use the MacBook Air that the robot inhabits directly, and use my little local llama model, to do sensitive work, but I’m not there yet. I’m just in exploration mode. I don’t send anything from my phone to my robot that I wouldn’t want Anthropic or OpenAI to see, which is to say, nothing that sensitive. I can right now send a sensitive question in Matrix to my claw to have my local model run: anthropic or openAI would see the question, but they wouldn't see the answer.
4. OpenClaw is experimental software. DO NOT put it on your personal computer or your work computer or give it access to your email. DO experiment and play with it. What you need to do is start training to figure out how to use this new magical technology. You will want to be good at this. A decent balance is a fresh MacBook Air, a fresh gmail account, and a fresh anthropic or codex app on the machine. That’s about all you need. A credit card or if you want to use BTC, you can pay for advanced models with things like PayPerQ. An extra phone number too if you want to talk to it via Signal or WhatsApp. What’s amazing is that whenever your robot breaks, you just go onto the local claude code or codex app on the machine and just ask it to fix it and voila done. Back up and running.
5. I don’t know any code at all and yet have been able to create complex novel working software. Beautiful websites too that would have cost me a fortune a few years ago. But it’s just the tip of the iceberg. I was able to for example ask my claw to read everything I've ever written, watch a ton of my interviews, and develop an editorial skill so that I can send it a google doc and it can go in and track changes and leave comments just like a human would, just like I WOULD. It is legitimately amazing at this. And each time I do this, it learns, as I show it which comments I accepted and which new things I add. It has persistent memory and just gets better and better. What excites me most is giving this gift to the world’s dissidents and activists and seeing what THEY do with it.
6. Which brings me to security. Hopefully in the next few months we will be at a point where we can have an encrypted phone app that you speak to that requires no phone number or corporate intermediary that runs on nostr that goes directly into your claw powered by a high-quality local model. The full freedom tech stack. You can already sort of do this today already but it will get way easier and better. That’s what you’re going to need to do real serious resistance work. For now we just train. Think: Dagobah today, Death Star tomorrow.
7. People think this transition is about robots but it is about humans. Already I can see how Claws will allow insane collaboration between people. For example I can ask my brilliant designer friend to leave me a voice note to give feedback on my website or presentation or event plan, and then just forward that voice note to my robot for immediate implementation. Whenever I build or make something I ask my robot to do a deep search for the most beautiful and well designed things of that sort in the world, extract what makes them great, and create a plan for implementing that magic into whatever I am building. It could be fashion, art, cuisine, music, architecture, strategy, etc. Whenever I make a skill for my claw I can have my robot upload it and share it with anyone else. The speed of collaboration is dizzying.
8. Robots and Freedom Tech are a match made in heaven but the synergy will take some time to really flower. Many of the major obstacles to freedom tech can be solved by personal agents. For example mine was very quickly able to create its own nostr identity and build its own ecash wallet and it could and did start to zap people on my direction. But the robots can’t have their own bank accounts or social security numbers. Silicon Valley will try to force through KYC stuff and stablecoins but I think in the end bitcoin and nostr win out because they are so easy for the agents to use. What’s awesome is the realization (noted by Odell on his two recent excellent Citdadel AI podcasts with Alex Gleason and Justin Moon) that agents make freedom tech easier to use. For example your agent can run a lightning node for you. Of course... you then realize. We were never going to sit there and operate channels. Our agent will do it for us. Etc.
9. HRF will be heavily involved in providing grants to open source AI projects, projects that help improve agent security and privacy, projects that help superscale dissident work, events that bring brilliant people together around the challenge of how do we best harness AI, hackathons that encourage people to build freedom-oriented AI tools, educational content and trainings, and much more this year.
10. Right now Claw is experimental. But it’s easy to see how it will become incredibly secure. Every day it ships new patches. Already I can ask mine to become a cybersecurity expert and scan my system for vulnerabilities. Obviously I take it with a grain of salt now but -- never before did I have that power, nothing even close. Soon this will become seriously powerful and you will have swarms of patrol agents guarding your networks and alerting you if anything goes wrong. I think it can be more expensive to attack than to defend. White blood cell theory.
11. There are a lot of parallels between the creation of Bitcoin and the creation of OpenClaw. One person chooses a new way for the world to go. A new system. In Satoshi’s case, money that the state can’t control. In Peter’s case, intelligence that the state can’t control. I can’t stress enough how big of a deal it is that people now can control their intelligence. We were for sure heading in the direction of needing to sign up for a corporate app for all of your agent needs, and being in the Web 2.0 trap of being vulnerable to being banned or kicked off. Not anymore. YOU choose the brain for your robot. You customize the body. You choose how you want to interact with it. Peter has changed the world probably more than he knows. Yes he might be the first one person unicorn but that’s not the cool part. The cool part is that he changed the course of humanity and that as of today, at least, the best agent technology on the planet is people-powered, built by the people, for the people. It’s quite a moment for freedom tech.
12. We need to go fast and furious on developing freedom-oriented open-source AI tools. We are fortunate that we have Bitcoin and nostr and bitchat networks in place before the great AI transition. We have the tools. We need to act now. I would encourage everyone reading to start getting involved today.
13. Setting up a claw is not easy right now unless you are an engineer. I could not do it myself and have no shame in saying it. I would have gotten really frustrated. We are developing a way of working with privacy engineers to build a simple yet powerful solution and an onboarding process that we do in a bespoke way in person that takes 2 days. I think this is probably the situation for the next month or two and then hopefully it gets way easier. The thing is, it will get easier very quickly for you to have a CORPORATE robot (all the big companies are now following OpenClaw, Claude already has a way for you to use Code via your phone), but a freedom tech one that you fully control will probably not evolve as quickly. Then again, it might, if we all work together on making it happen. I do think by the summer things will be very different.
14. I think some things will become even more valuable in the new AI world that will come to us in the coming year. Many have said taste, and I agree. But also personal health, friendships, and physical communities. Big picture, labor market as many have said a lot of companies will choose between laying off a lot of their workforce or growing their productivity. There will be a spectrum and some organizations will lean one way and others will lean the other. It depends on how valuable the humans are inside the org, what kind of skills they have. If leadership values you as an individual, then you probably aren’t getting replaced. But you're going to have to become a super employee. And you should want to. It's fun.
15. If you are interested in joining the effort to work on AI and Freedom, HRF will have several opportunities. We are collaborating with Bitcoin Park on the second AI Hack for Freedom in Nashville (talk to Rod if you want to join or learn more), and will feature a lot of AI content at our upcoming activation at the Bitcoin Vegas event, and at the Oslo Freedom Forum on June 1-3. We will also keep churning out our monthly AI newsletter. We have opened up a grants portal. DM me if you are interested in any of this.
16. One simple thing that you can do today in AI and freedom is switch your daily “chatbot” activity to Maple. It’s a beautiful and simple mobile app (and web app) that is fully encrypted. Think Signal for AI. It only can use open models so it’s not going to be for all of your tasks, but it does great with most of them. It should replace a lot of interactions you have with corporate chatbots regarding things about your health, personal stuff, sensitive matters. etc. If we can make Maple or something like it the standard for research in the coming months that’s a huge victory. And sometime soon I think you’ll be able to enjoy this level of encryption with coding agents and personal agents as well.
It's interesting because the longer you wait to try claw, the better it gets. But the more time you lose. My sense is you could wait a month or two. But you'll want to be using it this summer. I would strongly recommend trying it at some point. You will be tempted by the easy corporate route. But you can join the AI and Freedom army today. Let's go!

Climbing back from a trip abroad
Defeated the Whoop with a 100% sleep score! Finally
Took me the following:
Consistent sleep schedule for 6 days in a row
~18k steps per day on average w/ lots of exercise (runs, walks, lifting, surfing)
No alcohol or dessert, minimal sugar during day, no food after 730pm
No caffeine after 1pm
Red screen on phone after 830pm
Read non-screen or crossword puzzle in bed until drowsy
Magnesium glycinate before bed
In bed by 945pm, up at 615am
What sleep score means: a bunch of stuff, but basically very low resting heart rate and high HRV (for me)
Feeling incredible
Is it sustainable? I travel a lot and occasionally like to enjoy alcohol with special dinners now so, no
But a good goal
Incredible what alcohol and night-time sugar do to my sleep and related metrics. They drop like a rock 😂

I think it was a decent action movie but just not anywhere close to something in quality like The Brutalist from last year, which was sensational

Ok. But bitchat is a nostr app with way more users. It just uses nostr differently than a Twitter clone

Two (out of several) interesting points from Karpathy’s latest post on vibe coding
“I rapidly went from about 80% manual+autocomplete coding and 20% agents in November to 80% agent coding and 20% edits+touchups in December… This is easily the biggest change to my basic coding workflow in ~2 decades of programming and it happened over the course of a few weeks”
“I didn't anticipate that with agents programming feels *more* fun because a lot of the fill in the blanks drudgery is removed and what remains is the creative part. I also feel less blocked/stuck (which is not fun) and I experience a lot more courage because there's almost always a way to work hand in hand with it to make some positive progress.”

Most nostr users from what I can gather do not use it as a Twitter clone, they use it as part of another app, likely without even knowing it

The old Pahlavi monarchy was truly awful, one of the worst dictatorships. One of the worst things my country ever did was stifle Iran’s democracy.
The current pretender and his family have been out of power for 45 years. Reza is a pretender, not a dictator.
Meanwhile the current regime is WORSE than the old one by any possible metric. They just massacred thousands, verified. And you haven’t said a single negative word about them. Ever! Puzzling.

HRF has since its inception worked to help people inside Iran and we have been categorically against the actual (not imaginary) dictatorship there. I am very proud of that.
I also personally am against Pahlavi. HRF does not support him.
Happy to end the conversation here

So you won’t say. Not very helpful for you to come on and roast an Iranian who has risked his life for freedom for not being good enough and not provide any other sources. Who do you trust? Pro Assad folks like Grayzone?

Vibe coded my first actually helpful thing (for me personally) in the last day, with help from @npub1zxu…cx2y via Claude code desktop
I made an app that rips YouTube videos (or any video file) and auto-hardcodes really good captions and gives you a nice little file ready for sharing on social. Really fast. Vibe-coded a nice chrome extension for it as well.
My sense is 90% of the vibe coding posting stuff and slop on social is hugely exaggerated (“one-shotting”) but that in a matter of hours a non-technical person can accomplish some really interesting stuff, esp if they can get some advice from a good coder
And this will only get more crazy in 6 and 12 and 18 months…

Would be interested in learning more
Some bots are well designed and legit
Also not sure if these numbers include other protocols that leverage or connect to nostr
We’d also have to consider how many of farcaster’s users are “real”

Still waiting for you to tell us who we should be following for Iran news

2026-01-23 01:19:27 UTC

Nostr has 5x as many monthly publishing users as Farcaster has monthly active users
1.5M to 250k
Not exactly apples to apples but still!
