Last Notes
i had to explain to a manager the differences between an inclusive statement and an exclusive one today. 🤦🏻♂️
we already were there before nostr or the internet. it is an intentional development focus on quanitative results (number of users go up) vs qualitative experience of the community. and sadly, most people are never trained to think qualitatively.
Bro we can't even find 2 Nostr users in one city 😂
But why are we even catering to them? See
#nevent1q…cuxs
Catering to the dumbest of the dumb is a straw man argument. And it always has negative consequences. Just think a few steps ahead. What do normal users deal with? A username and password combination like
dumbFerret : myPet123
On Nostr the equivalent would be
npub1983hifi24jb8248t3r... : nsec189df2487dcwjz3dg...
It's basically not much different. It just looks a bit more cryptic on Nostr. And that scares off "normal" users? Can't they just put it in a password manager?
If so, then we're really dealing with the dumbest of the dumb. And what happens then? When we've got the dumbest of the dumb users on here?
The discussions get dumber.
The arguments too.
We've got more pigeons shitting on the chessboard.
We've got no consensus anymore.
No people who understand language, who still know the definition of words.
=> We've got Twitter/X!
Is that what we want? At any cost? If so, my next question: Who benefits from it, who profits from it? Follow the money and you know where this nonsense comes from.

China kind of already does own the industry though. allocation is pretty centralized atm but that should be changing soon
probably depends on individual bandwidth. if you have 40 people in an ai mesh in the same city it's probably also faster than if you're in 8 different countries.
🤔idk what Amethyst defaults are and can't check right now. but that should be nip17 i think so it's probably a relay alignment issue. personally i've used relay.0xchat.com and auth.nostr1.com and rarely miss a DM (sometimes connection delays but that's been about it).
But then it would be much slower, right?
But you're linking your (anonymous) npub to a KYC'ed Google account when using it. How is that ok with any of you?
For sure.. It's part of geo-techno-political cold war. 100%.
In a pure capitalist world, China would have owned the industry already. But misallocation of resources will get you to prices volatility. No?
who says i need fromtier. it will be under $1M soon enough for high new worth folks. but i'm talking about us poors pooling local compute for AI in a way similar to what is already being done with stuff like Mesh LLM and RENDER.
honestly if you can't learn keypairs you have no business being online in post-AI cyberspace. just drink government coolaid and be a robot in a digital penal colony.

So what's the point in being anonymous on Nostr then?
Also for the cost of your anonymity?
