You are seeing a scammer fall in real time. Please do your research and OSINT searches on those that are the loudest. They may not be as peaceful as they project. There are a few others that will encounter the same fate.

I have said prior that we have already achieved a semblance of immortality, at least in the digital plane. As of 2023, I can train AI on your texts, images, video interviews, podcasts, blog posts and social media to create a full end-to-end text, audio, and video likeness of a person. Import that likeness into VR/AR and a lot of interesting ideas start flowing. Relieve your favorite experiences with your friends that may or may not still be here. Meet your deceased family members and have conversations with them. Listen to famous speeches from dictators “live in person”. People will pay for this and use it for therapeutic, personal, and exploratory purposes. It’s very much akin to “Upload” if you’ve watched that show. You are already immortal and not by your choice. You cannot stop your loved ones from recreating you based on all the output we provide today.

I had to add a new monthly budget category called “AI Apps”. My media subscribptions have all been moved over to content generation subscriptions. Anyone else?

The worst thing about security podcasts and videos is that one cannot go back to update the advice as threat vectors change and emerge. The advice is solidified in time and 1s and 0s. Blogs and articles are better for this, but do not have that same human touch and conversation. Wen AI to update my old content automagically?

Wrath Of The Lich King was the best MMO expansion ever and nothing can top it. Don't @ me.

RIP node. This highlights the importance of properly secured backups and redundancies. Relay operators take note for when fsck will not save you. image

A question was asked during the client panel at #Nostrica regarding if client developers would accept other funding such as VC-backed. Each developer answered it beautifully but I take a different approach. My nostr software will never accept VC funding. It’s not in a state currently to even consider doing so, and in my opinion nostr is freedom and open and free code provides an outlet to those that ultimately need it in times of need. Nothing against anyone that needs to procure funding as I’ve done that in other software markets. Each use case is different and I code as a hobby, not a full time job as they do so the parameters are different. It’s a tough situation as the panel articulately described.

The client talk currently at #Nostrica is fascinating. It will be interesting to see how the differening opinions on content, algorythms, relay management, middleware, and how to handle issues like bandwidth and scaling play out over time.
