Turns out AI personalization may be the catalyst for all the decentralized tools we need to get off the big tech platforms.
Of course, we'll need private AIs to get much better, but we're not that far away.

I spent a large chunk of yesterday iterating on a browser based coop tower defense game with my sons. Kinda amazed that it's pretty fun.
How many projects can I juggle on claude at one time? I'm gonna find out.
What useful tools would you like to see here on Nostr that hasn't been made yet?
I ask so I have more projects to make on Claude.
I'm about to cross the Rubicon to a Claude Max subscription.
Announcing that you're unfollowing someone is about the most cringe way of announcing your narcissism.
So of course Boomers are doing this constantly.
Insurance is such a fiat scam. All the middle men it creates are rent-seeking by nature and the quality of the service not only becomes more expensive but worse. Direct payment, or value-for-value is the far more honest thing.

Cows, though, they're mostly the same.
There's always drama.
Gambling is what people turn to when the hope of real value-adding work is dashed.
The reason for Bitcoin's success is that it is a great savings vehicle. It has so little competition in that regard that every other use case is a rounding error. I know people don't like hearing that, but it's true.

Will BIP-110 activate and be enforced on Bitcoin by September 1–7, 2026?
Definition of Activation: Amendment due to logic: Violations are checked after 64 blocks following the activation block (965664). This block is cur...
A sign of the times: Self-hate is so unbelievably common.
What you quickly realize about the elites is that they are generally mediocrities that never had to go through the meritocracy gauntlet, have few moral qualms and lie, cheat and steal regularly. Yet they expect other people to act differently.
