I enjoyed your take on Mike Brock's article. I went and read his 12/1 and 12/2 posts just to try to fully understand his perspective. It's strange to see someone who was involved in bitcoin take this position. The main take - and he raked nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqg7waehxw309anx2etywvhxummnw3ezucnpdejz7ur0wp6kcctjqqsd2s26xy7ns3sllyagc9c0jsdje49xdfw0mwcfxsrfvrmvkvtcf8c2pmm0w in particular for this - is that if folks like Thiel like bitcoin, then bitcoiners are aligned with fascists even if they profess different intentions.
The part I don't understand: except for those people who somehow live without need for any currency, the alternative is fiat. If you're advocating for - or even using - fiat money, you are also aligned with some very questionable people who are wreaking havoc on poor people and society as a whole.
He's smart enough to know this but it doesn't seem to enter into his arguments.

I'm excited about freedom tech and circular economies, and am deeply grateful for the devs and advocates who are helping build tools for a better future.

I'm using Maple (I assume! I signed up through Trymaple.AI).
It hasn't been great on current searches (today I got about 7 bad links for a fairly simple query) so I asked if I was using Maple AI 2.0, and this is what I got:
Maple
I’m not Maple AI 2.0 – I’m ChatGPT, the large‑language model created by OpenAI.
The version you’re interacting with right now is based on the GPT‑4 architecture (the most recent publicly‑available model as of November 2025).
so... I think I understand that Maple taps into other LLMs, right? But does it not know that I'm using it via Maple?
What's happening here?
Hi Nostr friends! I haven't been on for a while but it's nice to be back.
My husband and I just planted two dozen chestnut trees to build our silvopasture (pasture with trees).
They will eventually provide shade for grazing animals, help stabilize our steep hills, provide fodder for people and pigs (and probably squirrels and bears!). Also chestnut trees are gorgeous 🤩
