Ive been thinking that China company's open source AI is soft power in action when the US based AI arms race is mostly closed source (more on that later). Did you know Kissinger visited Xi in 2023 to discuss AI hegemonies? Found an interesting quote from the link below which is obvious in hindsight. "Instead, they’re (Chinese AI companies) working within carefully curated datasets sanctioned by Beijing. One such example: a government-approved “mainstream values corpus,” built largely from state media content, designed to keep public-facing A.I. models ideologically aligned" https://www.inventiva.co.in/trends/the-great-ai-wall-of-china-can-the-world-resist-chinas-digital-influence-and-can-authoritarian-a-i-win-the-global-mind-war/?trk=feed-detail_main-feed-card_feed-article-content

I can't get nak to talk to start9's wss nostr relay. When I do: % nak req -k 1 -a <pubkey> wss://wv5av2f<...redacted>.local I get: "x509: “nostr.embassy” certificate is using a broken key size" So I tried: % GODEBUG=x509ignoreCN=0 nak req -k 1 -a But still get the same error. Any ideas? (JS clients in a brave browser work fine using the cert in the MacOS Keychain) #nak #start9

Every Click and Keystroke Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. How's that workin' out for ya? I'd like to replace Google Home devices by the end of the year - is https://www.home-assistant.io/ the best of open source project? (No Home Automation on start9 marketplaces).

Pro account sharers FYI. I doubt this affects solutions like mapleai as they likely use APIs.
