#ProofOfWalk in Kamakura 😍 🇯🇵

Negative people say it’s all an uphill battle, but when everything goes downhill that’s also not good!

Proof of walk in London! nostr:nprofile1qqspp898hsspxpvjjm2ejhz53ye8fdua24vlku82htsnwvj6gnnuy6spz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj94ex2mrp0yh8wmrkwvh8xurpvdjj70nnpr7 nostr:npub1jr8sgwrpuk66n9evk76jnfd6wxept4k3uv2vwjw42fhvzvl3mdes38wwnw

After visiting a Generative AI conference in London last week I genuinely think there is misallocation of funds in big corps. There was a presentation on how to ensure AI agents stick to protocol and don’t hallucinate or come up with creative responses that are unexpected. To solve for this one had to build incredible amounts of test data, heuristic quality gates, non LLM based judge criteria etc. at every step of an agent pipeline. Listening to the presentation, I was convinced their whole pipeline could have been built and run successfully just using those heuristic tests alone, and that sometime inside BigCorp, a few million was earmarked: “How can we do this with AI?” and not “Should we do this with AI?” It felt a bit like listening to a session on how to ensure a genius multi disciplinary artist would excel at accounting.

Saturday walk. Park closed, lots of wind!

User interfaces are going away I think the end of interfaces is coming faster than most people expect. Not the gradual evolution we've seen before, from desktop websites only to two versions to dynamically resizing websites working on every screen size, but a complete removal of the interface altogether. We're creatures of habit, returning to the same digital spaces - Netflix for this, Spotify for that, each with its own login, its own subscription, its own carefully designed experience. We expect a certain experience from within all of these apps - but soon we will expect a certain experience one level above the apps. Soon we won't browse Netflix or manage Hulu subscriptions. We'll simply ask for what we want and receive it, or even have it recommended to us based on various interactions we've had. The content finds us, not the other way around. The technical shift is profound but the business model shift is even bigger. Today's walled gardens exist because companies need to own the customer relationship. Tomorrow, that relationship disappears - I get my content, whoever owns the rights to it gets paid, and I never need to care about who they are. What enables this isn't just AI that understands our intent. It's payment infrastructure that can move money frictionlessly, instantly, to the right party without us managing accounts or subscriptions or even knowing where our content comes from. Every streaming service, every media company, every platform betting on exclusive content and beautiful interfaces - they're all building for a world that's about to disappear. The pieces are converging. Frictionless, vendor less, payments, AI that truly understands context, and a generation that values access over ownership. I think now is the time to work with these things in mind, and create a decentralised, democratised system, based on solid foundations and open source Curious to hear what others think! #grownostr #future #payments #systems

A restaurant/vet/service booking tool that can pick up the phone when an operator is busy and schedule people in based on needs and availability. I’m sure something exists but it would be fun to build and could be cheap to implement for the services. Text to voice and voice to text models are really great these days. #GrowNostr #Build #AI

I would love to build a EA system that can answer calls from unknown callers and get back to them or dismiss them properly. Give them overall guidelines, access to my calendar and some common sense.

Wondering if the field of cybersecurity will grow to encompass protecting systems from vibe coded solutions. Will we deploy things we don’t know, only to box it in a framework we do, in order to keep it from doing unintended things?

I wonder when, and I think it is soon, humans will start preferring to read, or will simply spend most of our time reading, AI generated pieces of text over human written ones. What’s maybe more interesting is perhaps what pieces of content will be the last to go, or will never go, and why? We are inherently social creatures so the mere fact of knowing that some content was written by someone we trust, often trumps everything else - even the truth itself. Content comes of all sorts - from news/information, entertainment (and the two are getting dangerously close these days) to pure propaganda. Now though, they can have two sources - a person or a system. We need to prepare for a future where two categories of content live side by side and being able to distinguish them easily will be crucial. Bringing public/private key cryptography together with an incredibly simple to understand UX will be a big part of this. Would love to hear from others who are thinking about this too. #grownostr #verifiedcontent #society

Doing a lot of recruitment these days and have made some reflections - one is: New grads getting into programming these days need to take care not to let language models ruin their experience learning. We are not yet there that we can autonomously build and run *quality* software purely by prompting, so everyone building software currently do need to understand and learn the basics. Too easy to auto-complete our way from understanding at the moment. #grownostr #ai

A project I’ve really enjoyed working on with a few of my colleagues at Serendipity - a demonstration of agent tooling and lightning integrations. Think it’s looking quite polished now, but very happy for feedback if anyone has any! Maybe especially around bitcoin integrations.. https://markdown2pdf.ai/ #grownostr #bitcoin #lightning #agents #mcp #asknostr

Using nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqsyv47lazt9h6ycp2fsw270khje5egjgsrdkrupjg27u796g7f5k0s0pfy4z to link my Claude to the lightning network was such an eye opener - bitcoin clearly the payment mode for agents. Now, with human-in-the-loop, but shortly not!
