Working with and learning about AI every day, I can't help but regard 95% of YouTube videos criticizing AI as pure cope. People are obsessed with finding reasons why AI doesn't work, will not replace jobs, produces only slop, etc. Most of these critics are random youtubers who have no idea how it works, what is it capable of or even how to use it properly. The people on the edge, e.g. Andrej Karpathy are endlessly fascinated by it and diligently working at it. It's a new technology that very few people understand and are good at using. It creates extreme amounts of cognitive dissonance. It moves so fast, people are not able to process it, nor understand the implications. It's all psychologically fascinating.

It's fascinating how much AI productivity gains trigger people. The discussions are becoming less and less substantive and more and more emotional.

Hello, I created a transparent random number generator based on bitcoin blockchain: https://trandom.io/ You can use it anytime you need to draw a random number from a pool, like for raffles, competitions in between followers, or whenever you need to decide something based on chance in a TRANSPARENT WAY!

All that being said, how does one make decisions? By rationality? My tutor Aristotle could classify the world, but couldn't find his way to the village square. One must dive deeper than reason. The Thracians of Bithynia trust no decision unless they make it drunk. They know something we don't. A lion never makes a bad decision. Is he guided by reason? Is an eagle 'rational'? RATIONALITY IS SUPERSTITION BY ANOTHER NAME. Go deep my friend. Touch the daimon. Do I believe in signs and omens? I believe in the Unseen. I believe in the Unmanifest, the Yet To Be. Great commanders do not temper their measures by What Is; they bring forth What May Be. - Steven Pressfield, Alexander - The Virtues of War

What is this narrative about Americans needing their guns to protect themselves from oppressive government, when in 1934 they gave up all their gold without a fight? The fight is for your mind, if they win that, you are your worst enemy.

Has anyone figured out the best/canonical algorithm for keeping the signed in state between a web application and a nostr application in sync? My web app sometimes needs to authenticate actions on it's backend, and sometimes needs to authenticate nostr events. #asknostr

The best thing about Macs by far is the Landscape Screensavers. Every time I come back to my desk, I am in awe of our planet's beauty and feel an instant jolt of motivation to work even harder, so that one day I can travel and enjoy these landscapes in real life :-) image
