I&#39;m pro-AI in the sense that I see a lot of amazing ways it can improve life. However, I hate how so many people jumped in headlong, with no concern for safety, caution or restraint. I only started using GenAI last year because I needed to learn about it before I would even consider using it. <br/><br/>Even now, I exclusively use it to save time on menial things (low-level research, for example) or to augment where I have weaknesses. A good example of the latter is how I use it as I&#39;m learning Python. Instead of spending hours looking for an obscure way of debugging or coding a specific feature, I ask AI to help me through the process when I&#39;ve exhausted normal troubleshooting but I specifically make sure it doesn&#39;t give me the code outright. This means I still have to think and learn but it saves me from getting frustrated and wasting time looking for obscure solutions.<br/><br/>The TL;DR is that AI can be a fantastic tool but we should exercise caution and restraint with it. <br/><br/>Sadly, most don&#39;t and that is why &#34;AI designed to take over&#34; exists in the first place; for where humans see a way to stoke their laziness, they will jump in with no second thought. Malicious actors will exploit that for their own gain. 2026-01-30T02:06:00+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs2awsksph4zgnd4vdkm52tfn7npnl8j0l24smr0l5j9verw0kw54szyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fwnra8vf In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv4zne3gpv3h6yf58dfgamvr79cep9ka0yjwy0lkdg7smgp7e46lgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7nn3xw4'>nevent1q…3xw4</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Said it a million times before, our world would be significantly better without that garbage platform.

Names, home addresses, Social Security numbers, bank details, government IDs, account balances. All of it.<br/><br/>That's how the Coinbase breach happened. Not a sophisticated hack. Not a zero-day exploit. An employee with a phone camera and a buyer.<br/><br/>69,461 people are now on a list.<br/><br/>Criminals know exactly who owns bitcoin, how much they have, and where they live. One victim has already lost over $2 million. Others lost retirement funds and down payments, not because their accounts were hacked, but because the stolen data made social engineering attacks nearly impossible to spot.<br/><br/>KYC doesn't just create privacy risk. It creates physical security risk.<br/><br/>When you hand over your ID, your address, your financial information to buy bitcoin, you're trusting that every single person with access to that data: contractors, support agents, database admins will protect it forever. <br/><br/>That's not how the world works.....<br/><br/>Data leaks. People get bribed. Systems get breached.<br/><br/>The Coinbase breach wasn't detected for six months!!<br/>Six months of customer data being photographed and sold before anyone noticed. And Coinbase is the biggest, most regulated exchange in the US. <br/><br/>What did we get from Mr. Armstrong? "we're sorry we will try to do better" <br/><br/>Well Mr. Armstrong, stuff your sorries in a sack. <br/><br/>None of this happens with peer-to-peer trading.<br/><br/>When you buy bitcoin from someone you know or someone connected through your mutual friends, there's no central database storing your identity. No contractor in another country with access to your home address. <br/><br/>No honeypot waiting to be exploited.<br/><br/>The person you trade with knows you bought bitcoin. That's it. And that's how it was designed to work.<br/><br/>We've spent fifteen years rebuilding the surveillance infrastructure that bitcoin was supposed to replace. We added KYC because regulators demanded it. <br/><br/>We centralized because it was convenient.<br/><br/>And now 70,000 people are dealing with the consequences.<br/><br/>The Coinbase breach isn't an anomaly. It's the inevitable result of a system that requires you to hand over your identity to participate. <br/><br/>The only question is which exchange is next....<br/><br/>If you're still using KYC exchanges, ask yourself: is the convenience worth being on that list?<br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/419373da11b0ee88f3c3ae700fe3c622f2bf91b062c4e538f9aec23edc94a804.jpg"> </blockquote> 2026-01-17T04:35:01+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsqwrcf6glt6vy0ag8hwvaejft846sem09ju7a86gggc5fy34g3d4czyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fwptzqhh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstcnq5eu0sq6wvjjf8qexdvv9fsh5xvwg3dtex75tyamqexanugnspzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hskvdpl8'>nevent1q…dpl8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Source?

The modern web is an absolute wreck thanks to out of control bots and the intrusive ways that sites defend against them. It&#39;s actually one of the reasons why I don&#39;t use a VPN nearly as much as I used to: it just turns the modern web into a nightmare to use.<br/><br/>Thankfully, if you&#39;re worried about privacy, VPNs are actually less necessary these days. Switching to encrypted DNS with a privacy-respecting resolver (I recommend Quad9) virtually eliminates any actionable data that your ISP can sell. They still see the raw IPs but that sort of data is harder to market to data brokers and it&#39;s also less effective because of how so many sites run on massive CDNs, meaning they&#39;d only be seeing your connection to the CDN&#39;s nearest datacenters. <br/><br/>Granted, that doesn&#39;t prevent the CDNs from selling traffic data, and it doesn&#39;t prevent individual sites from knowing your IP, so there&#39;s still a use case for VPNs but it all depends on threat model. For me, I only really use a VPN for evading geoblocks and for when I visit an unfamiliar site that I don&#39;t want having my real IP. Everything else in my threat model is largely covered by using encrypted DNS with Quad9. 2025-12-21T07:51:00+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs0ap8fkezradqzscy6c3rn4uqfre3vz87h8jq70uztc5g8nfjz04szyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fwqdvd2r In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs23dymnzrugw6rml5ehep65x565qm8weya0duk8v4lsfgzm0qarngpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtc09e9xf'>nevent1q…e9xf</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>But that doesn&#39;t really work if you&#39;re in a more rural area. 2025-12-16T04:16:01+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsr46lcfxcrrewenygpuel3493xh8szhsuukau8zyxq4kxt3emaleqzyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fw80xkpa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs88jht5pyyuvxy0k7saztjc4gnpyaj6lhwusu8s4jp5ep7xmuruggpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs3k0ntr'>nevent1q…0ntr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Well said. I&#39;ve been raising similar concerns. &#34;Bitcoin is unstoppable&#34; but it really isn&#39;t when KYC removes the sovereignty and onramps could be cut off in an instant.<br/><br/>There are also the folks who underestimate the threat KYC poses. If BTC is all about self-sovereignty and ownership of your money, then how on earth is that compatible with KYC and similar regulations? If you have to ask permission to exchange your fiat for BTC, it really doesn&#39;t free you the way they claim.<br/><br/>It also doesn&#39;t help that all supposedly &#39;no KYC&#39; methods still have KYC somewhere in the pipeline. Unless you have trustworthy friends who can trade fiat for BTC, or unless you&#39;re willing to take a risk on cash-by-mail or gift card trades, you&#39;re inevitably KYCing through the payment processor you use. 2025-12-13T06:45:03+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqstlf7ea0rldupny0qp0jrfvcqmzaljk8f3qsj3vxc3gwq8qk0cn4qzyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fwj80322 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9pj5jrrfxjh0yx5f0as23v6xjlwawqqwxwhznr8gtzjcfn8a77qspzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerfw36x7tnsw43z7qslxus'>nevent1q…lxus</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The bit on the metadata was incorrect. While Signal doesn&#39;t protect metadata like a more anonymous messenger (a la Session, SimpleX), it DOES protect metadata.

The latter is far more important to ban, however, because the 16+ social media thing is difficult to ban without implementing required ID verification for all users (which is something I&#39;m very much AGAINST). Again, porn sites SHOULD require ID verification at the very least, if we can&#39;t ban it outright, but regular social media should not. 2025-12-10T00:12:48+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsvqa0x4xm8mkxuagenuwyuwmcafk4jhsqsq2p798jvxjzc6skclzszyz5fejf39ufdyy7lacf32upvx2lh3pcdr8qdnacdpqpfjg7e4k8fwtqe6cz In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsttte3pywt0zma8uqwad68tmqnkadr5z349nx4c4qkdx8r5dvef4qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0agsurk'>nevent1q…surk</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;m a traditionalist but even I use AI.
