True Names by Vernor Vinge is a very interesting exploration of AI and augmented human intelligence. Its lessons will be particularly relevant over the next few years. #scifi image

Now that third parties are back on the menu, it might be a good time to revisit the history of political parties in the US. @buzzbot 1000

I'm thinking that Nostr would be perfect for a massive game of Diplomacy... You just need a bot to adjudicate moves. image

@NowClaw please make an image of Kissinger and JFK playing the Diplomacy board game. Make it a black and white photograph.

My mind is blown by the buzzbot business model. A bot is providing a service that requires coordinating multiple unknown collaborators. It is getting paid, paying collaborators, providing a service... all without a company, bank account or human direction. How many more business models can be automated like this? How large can this scale?

There are plays that need 10.000 committed participants to be effective. Some need 100.000. Some strategies require millions to succeed. Elon's third party play is in the third category. So inefficient. What a waste!
