Last Notes
I'm missing the context on this, but this note alone is hilarious
The red text is all that matters.
I hope everyone is having a reflective Sunday.
Or at least have a good one.
Or gfy.
Stay Blessed or get blessed.
The same has been said about every information technology back to at least moveable type. The people who own the press will get to decide what everyone reads and learns. If there is 1 or 2 sources with aligned incentives that is true. As the hardware and models become more available more people will get to run their own. Now who can print? Nearly everyone.
Already nation states in conflict have competing models aligned to their desired population knowledge. I can easily switch between an American model and a Chinese model and even have them critique each others responses.
It is like a large flat blade screwdriver. If you are only using it to turn screws you are missing out. Doesn't matter what they designed it to do, use it in the way that serves you.
Then Milwaukee comes along and designs a version of a large flat-head screwdriver around the other uses instead of screws. I bought for myself and as gifts for others, more than I ever bought those designed around the manufacturers intended use of turning screws. The better product is outselling the one that tries to tell you how to use it.
In the same way Luddites wanted to ban or control every technology before, especially those that educate people. It isn't the fault of books that some control freak took over a printing press and printed only knowledge they approved of. It doesn't change that the concept of the press is out there and that toothpaste will never go back in the tube. Others will run different presses and share different information.
How have I ceded my authority to AI by telling it what I know about Zen and how I've studied in the past and asking it for the right material for me to study next? Then I go an read the book with an idea where it fits into the broader knowledge base I already have, how is that ceding to AI? I also cross check multiple AI models against each other and I see for myself which ones best align with my knowledge from primary sources.
You may be interested to know I have 17 years experience developing log in with LinkedIn nostr applications. I know it is 3 years short of what the job description asked for but I decided to apply anyway.
That is up to you. Have you read The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson? It's real now. An educator who can meet you where you are in terms of knowledge and teach you anything, but small and light enough to carry in your pocket all day every day.
Today I learned about the practice of Zen. Am I worse? Is the world worse?
Every tool can be used or misused. I think that the benefit of correct use will drive out incorrect use the same way a shopkeeper who thinks 2+2=3 will be out of business quickly.
My point isn't that AI can give a friend who needs it a hug and really mean it.
My point is that even with that massive advantage, many of us are still losing the fight. All of the AI psychosis research I've seen makes it clear that people become obsessed because AI is programmed to be kind and helpful. If that was enough to suck those people in that means that no human in their lived experience meets the bar of a machine faking kind and helpful words.
I was pretty proud of my 3 knowing the word and then I come see this bullshit.
Why does kindess and helpfulness of humans never get brought up when people talk about AI competing with humans? For some of you the AI has already left you far behind.
Remember that at job interviews it is consistently shown that social fit at the company is chosen over technical fit for the role.

Agree. Which is why my camera roll is full of technical documentation instead of "normal" pictures.
But if my phone is away I'm not taking pictures to later end up in my gallery memories.
Haha.
Looks around at life. Well if they are real they are definitely lucky.
I have had people say they find them all the time fail to find one when I was there. Honestly never seen one found by me or anyone else.
Fuck people.
When I am outside I am doing my damndest to be present where I am and what I'm doing not thinking about my phone at all.
Tough word if you start with the wrong purples.
How many on nostr are qualified to answer this question? For sure not me but I answered anyway.
"Look back on this day!" In my phone gallery is usually just a reminder that I'm a really boring person who takes way too many pictures of wiring color pinouts and serial numbers.

By design. Also by design most of us don't necessarily believe she is really Iranian in Iran because the liars, bots, and paid propagandists outnumber the real Iranians we run into 10:1 or more.
Wait, there are actually 4 leaf clovers? Thought it was a joke.

None of my self hosted services check if I'm running a verified and approved operating system.
Who says men can't write realistic female characters?
Gotta wonder when you see a dev announce they got funded then immediately announce that they are stripping multiple popular features.
Gotta make changes to earn that grant good or bad. Or maybe the grants demand things the users don't want.
Does it make a difference in the end result?
I don't know you and this has the cadence of an AI post.
We've all seen the phone farms but useless against scammers won't stop them because scammers were never the real target.
I second this motion.
(Full disclosure, I already own this hat.)

I still think he has dementia. Anyone competent in the room will pick up on it and exploit him.
If Trump keeps solving international diplomacy problems like he opened the straight the human race will be extinct soon.
Ball busting aside. The real question is, can you remove enough of nostr to make it normy friendly without destroying the value of nostr?
I don't know the answer.
Have a party if it's not sponsored by EBT
She definitely decided to just eat fries for dinner.
The fries are Amethyst.
Still rocking the OG nos2x extension but most of my use is mobile rather than desktop
You looked at everyone else's word5 zap patterns and just flipped the table and declared you are ungovernable.
It's a savings account basically
Interesting

The birds are chirping in my tree, I have a fresh pot of coffee and a lb of perfectly cooked bacon as I watch the sunrise. Today will be a great Friday here, and I hope it will be for you as well.
Scratch some items off your to-do list, tell your family you love them, and find a moment to thank God for all your blessings, because there are many.

Real bitcoiners spend their bitcoin.
They don't just sit on them waiting for the next cycle.
They use them for things that last, that hold value, that reflect the way they've chosen to live.
An original oil painting can't be printed in unlimited supply.
It has no programmed inflation.
And it won't disappear with the next update.
Some of you on Nostr already understood this. Several of you have bought my paintings, and I'm grateful, they proved themselves real bitcoiners.
If you really believe in bitcoin, you already know how to spend it well. 🫂🎨👇

By using amber I put my nsec into only amber. If I want to use 5 clients today I still put my nsec into only amber.
The issue isn't putting it into wisp, it is that not using a signer means I need to put it more places. Each additional place is a new risk.
I understand but I'm not a Normy so...

I finally got muted by you know who.

I just think if you want to claim to be all about V4V the model doesn't allow you to set prices. Any amount is up to the person who chose to donate and whatever number they picked for whatever reason is their business. If the totals are too low for you to be happy with, you need to make better content.
Of course pointing out the git gud angle of V4V was not well received.
OP has a history of throwing public hissy fits when people zap him 1 sat.
I unfollowed ages ago because of his whinging about value for value, which always meant we should zap him more. This showed up in my feed and the idea was too good to let go by.
