Episode 1 - mostly redundant

what's something you won't talk about with chatgpt?

Morning walk with Maple for final testing of two-way voice chat on iOS. Today's topic is 2026 planning and reflection. Do any of you do voice chat with AI on your walks or while driving? What do you talk about? I find it helpful to talk through big questions.

hey @calle and @jack have either of you explored the possibility of bitchat as a PWA on Android and iOS? I'm about to go down that rabbit hole for a hackathon idea.

Never forget the ChatGPT guy is also the Worldcoin guy. The marriage of these two technologies is the base of most dystopians novels.

Maple has helped me do quite a bit of Christmas shopping. The live web search combined with chat really came through for me.

Spent my first Bitcoin through a Square terminal at Medici Roasting at the Domain. The barista was super friendly and knowledgeable about the checkout process. Used the @primal wallet with ease! Thanks @miles 🌞 and all the teams at Block!

It was a blast coming on the show with @preston to talk all things AI! We discussed privacy and the bright future we can have if we're willing to build and use AI that is open and verifiable. Closed AI apps are powerful but come with the big tradeoff that we must give them our most unique data: our minds. There is a better way forward. Let's make it!

Reasons for the US To Print Massive Amounts of Money 1. we can't make our own military equipment anymore. Need to get mineral production and factory production going 2. we can't afford our debt interest and entitlement programs 3. AI is a global arms race. We need to develop models, computing, and the full stack 4. housing is where boomers stored their wealth. If prices fall too much, they take the economy with them 5. more

Qwen3 Coder is a huge upgrade over previous models that were available in @Maple. It's faster and produces better code. Really enjoying it!

Next couple of months are going to be very exciting for @Maple. So stoked!

I’m at a vintage bookstore. Shill me the best book to get for a collection?

I am working on a long-form article in the AI space. Funny enough, AI has been incredibly useful with the process. I started with my own words from hours of voice memos where I explained the concept and direction I wanted to go. AI took my words and wrote a rough draft. I edited the draft heavily, changing phrasing, rewriting multiple paragraphs at a time, and more. Now I'm using AI to incorporate feedback from select people as well as performing final edits. I often debate with it about two options for incorporating a specific item of feedback, just like I would with an editor. The result is a long piece of writing from me, but it's difficult to know which words were me and which were the AI. In my experience, it's similar to how I've worked with a human editor in the past, except the feedback loop compressed from weeks to days. In the end, I'm the one pouring over the words and putting my name on it, so it's going to be my published work. And it is far from a one-shot prompted paper. These tools are remarkable.

Did Bitcoin die yesterday? I was busy catching up with frens irl and going to a football game with my daughter. Forgot to check in.

gotta tip my hat to the high school kid that just yolo’d his way into a 1:1 call with me and got a free 20 min architecture design brainstorming session for the app he wants to build

Had the pleasure to speak about Freedom of Thought in the Age of AI at the inaugural Imagine IF summit. Amazing venue at Belmont University. It all comes down to Open vs Closed AI. Summary and a breakdown of a new vulnerability I refer to as Subconscious Censorship. ⬇️

This is my sidebar and still not a billionaire
