NOSTR is perfectly weird.

So many answers to doomerism is just a steady diet of Smokey Robinson

"Okay. This is the part where I put on my “I am a serious developer who cares about security” hat. Because running a publicly accessible server with an AI model on it that has the potential to run commands and access my data is... not something to be casual about. The security philosophy I went with is called defense in depth. No single lock on the door. Instead we have multiple layers, so that if one thing fails, there are five more things between an attacker and anything interesting. The goal was zero public inbound ports. A server so quiet on the internet that it’s basically invisible."

This is a long one so, buckle up!

These guys legit live in their mom’s basement to get this brand to this spot. Official launch at Target tomorrow for @Yough!

Anything you’re building or working on must have the assumption that the brainwashing has taken hold and heels are being dug in. Social campaigns against merit and curiosity worked alarmingly well. Logic, wisdom, accountability, first principles, second order effects kindness, and curiosity have been supplanted with short term moral stabbing and character assassination. And the tribal thinking is positively reinforced by the second when you self select circles that don’t have accountability in them. “Sly and roundabout” should be part of the strategy to gain adoption on anything important.

If it turns out @SoapMiner is actually a fed I will commit seppuku. This is not financial advice.

People forget that unregistered securities are illegal. The SEC intentionally helped circumvent justice for illegal securities that laundered money and defrauded millions. Intentionally. Why?

“To love someone does not mean to save them. To witness another’s chaos without interfering is one of the highest forms of respect. The empath must come to understand that true healing is self-generated. When one constantly intervenes, one prevents the natural evolution of another’s soul. The addiction to being needed therefore becomes a form of interference in destiny. To stand aside is not abandonment; it is reverence for the autonomy of the other.” -The Quiet Revenge of the Empath

Embrace the anti fragility of Bitcoin. Throw as much shit against it as you can.

The How Razor Curiosity is an actual key to trust with someone. If you’re solution oriented or curious, the “how” of how you say something is its own language. “How” has an evolutionary and survival value element to it whereby you need a team to help you archive your highest upside potential. A curious “How” will be processed like teammate on a mission for truth, creative exploration or genuine love if we’re talking about a household. Getting the “how” wrong is the dead give away you need to be right more than you want a solution. That tone of needing to be right is a short cut and detectable from a survival value standpoint as well. The short cut tone is the opposite of a key and will be processed as if this is an adversary scanning for any hint of weakness. So this is a binary heuristic. Curiosity or short cuts. That’s it. It’s the “How Razor”. “How” you say something is either in a curious tone or it’s not. If you can’t get to a curious tone it’s probably best to get out of a potential debate or politely say you’re not in a curious place to engage. The How Razor is basically saying the “If you don’t have something nice to say don’t say anything at all” advice is nowhere near as effective as “Don’t say anything when in a debate until you’re genuinely curious about something to ask”. The good news is the How Razor is so easy and such a silver bullet because it’s so contagious. It’s powerful to feel in command of a difficult situation if you know when you’re in short cut or power grab mode. It’s when you don’t have curiosity. You can easily drop into this curiosity with anyone once they FEEL the example of it. The genuine feel of curiosity is the unlock to trust.

Intelligence is infrastructure. Whoever owns the infrastructure decides who is free.

"Orwell didn't write 1984 as a book about cameras. He wrote it as a book about language. Newspeak wasn't designed to convince people of lies; it was designed to make dissent unthinkable by narrowing the range of thought. Remove the words, remove the concepts. Make "thought-crime" literally impossible because there is no vocabulary left to formulate rebellion. And Orwell was clear: it didn't happen overnight. Old language persisted, then slowly degraded—fewer words, fewer constructions, less expressive power—until orthodoxy became unconscious. Now imagine frontier AI, at planetary scale, becoming the default interface to knowledge. It doesn't burn books. It summarizes them. It rewrites them. It ranks them. It scrubs edges. It can quietly move the Overton window of language itself, before you even have the chance to consider it. That is why private intelligence is not luxury. It is the prerequisite for volition." via @Vora

Someone please build a service that creates class action law suits immediately against services that intentionally waste your time instead of honoring a cancellation request. Translate the lost hours into hourly wages for all customers and fire it off to any company that treats their customers like prisoners. Let's re-introduce TIME as the only resource that matters again.

NOSTR forward for me feels like a strict no bot follower rule. I’ll go down with just the humans. Anyone else feeling a certain way about these dynamics ?

So much strategy, and slowing down now at companies is going through learning curves on open the open source tech stack. I’m down for the challenge it’s been fun.
