Currency of Distrust

These people are called script kiddies, and these are even worse because they don't even know how to use really basic tools that would have allowed them to do this. And probably faster too. 📝 12c6fe88…

lol this is the most engagement I've gotten in a while, and I literally posted it and walked away from computers for 3 days. 📝 2576320f…

Nostr devs seem overwhelming focused on building for bots and not people. Nostr is still barely usable by humans. Clients that are riddled with bugs and many that flat out dont work, but yes, lets make sure agents have a good experience. That's the real important work in freedom tech.

I’ve been trying really hard to balance hype and reality with regards to LLMs. I’ve listened to Grady Booch on two podcasts now, and I think he paints an excellent picture, rooted in history of software engineering. https://youtu.be/OfMAtaocvJw

All these losers can point to is the damn stock market. Meanwhile, average Americans aren’t benefiting from it, and just wish our government would investigate pedophiles. America is finished. 📝 b0b8b32a…

Absolute banger from Jimmy’s post. https://www.afterbabel.com/p/you-have-to-be-human I have a group of guys I hang out with who go to my church, and most of them work blue collar type jobs, and it’s so refreshing talking to people who aren’t terminally online. Go talk to real people! 📝 47df9cd1…

If your UX is dependent on AI, your UX sucks

Bro the number of AI commercials during the Super Bowl is excruciating.

I don’t need an agent to manage my calendar, because it’s already very simple. I push back on complexity every chance I get. Simple life is best life. 📝 d49c84e0…

Great read that really resonates with me “This is a fundamentally different kind of work. Creating is energizing. Reviewing is draining. There's research on this - the psychological difference between generative tasks and evaluative tasks. Generative work gives you flow states. Evaluative work gives you decision fatigue.” 📝 07c1dcc0…

I prefer talking to humans. Guess I’m a Luddite.

An example of this - there’s a WSJ story floating around that states the crash in markets is because Anthropic released tools that eliminate the need for finance/legal software, causing huge sell offs. Others will claim this is the AI bubble popping. They both can’t be true. However, they both could be false, and there could be some other cause, such as this - https://occupywallst.com/yen 📝 abdd94a4…

One thing that I find interesting in this day of unlimited media - everyone is super fast to assign a narrative to why markets are going up or down. And often times, they’re completely different root causes where they can’t all be true. It’s basically becoming impossible to discern what’s happening.

I want to do a decent sized smash buy, but scared to tell my wife the current price 😅

So many on nostr have shiny object syndrome. It’s wild to see.

The Epstein files prove one thing - spiritual warfare is real. 📝 2a609edf…

I’m starting to think the future of social media is not permissionless, but explicitly permissioned, but by small groups of people highly decentralized. I don’t want to talk to your damn agents. If I want to talk to AI, I’ll just go straight to it. I can see a service where people provision their own social network that is explicitly invite only. Especially for families. You could do this with nostr and a self hosted relay today, too.

I think most on HN are inherently anti Musk because of politics, but even with bias considered, this is a super interesting thread to read. SpaceX/xAI is obviously financial engineering, but in my very limited brain capacity, I can see a case for AI compute in space 😅 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46862170
