What's the point of having a hot girlfriend when you don't have hot children together?

Good morning 🌅

What is your best piece of advice on how to achieve clarity?

One underrated way of understanding the value of crypto money is pretty basic: change your phone. With banks it's a nightmare process, with crypto it's basically download and login.

I wonder if I can use Codex to build my personal blog site hosted on my own domain that is in my own custom design, but instead of hosting the content itself (besides the wrapper and some pages), all sources (essays, blog posts, short posts, videos, images) are directly sourced from my Nostr public key. Perhaps for SEO it caches articles (or creates a copy and/or becomes a private relay itself?)

HELLO NOSTR. DID ANYONE ASK THEMSELVES HOW USER MUST PROVIDE PROOF-OF-WORK IN ORDER TO BE VERIFIED AS AUTHENTIC HUMAN CONTENT?

If AI is ultimately capable of doing everything we as humans are capable of doing, does this increase or decrease the meaning of the things we choose to do? It increases the meaning, because we choose to do it despite AI and robots capable of doing the same thing for no cost. It increases it, because we will do whatever we will still be doing out of inner inspiration and deep purpose. The fear that AI will create a meaning crisis would mean that AI can ‘take away our meaning’, but meaning is not the result of outer validation or economic value. Meaning arrives when we unite what our heart is longing for – our inner calling or ‘purpose’ – and start acting on it with clear intention. Meaning is when we do something for the sake of doing it, not for the sake of accomplishing it. If technology allows us to accomplish without doing, it creates a vacuum. This vacuum is neutral. It is neither good nor bad, it simply exposes us. It reveals whether we were living an authentic life from inner purpose – or one that was shaped by external forces. How we will react to this vacuum is going to be everything. Either you numb this vacuum with endless stimulation. Or you move beyond it. Moving beyond the vacuum means starting to live. It means rediscovering action as a creative expression of love. We will start creating for the sake of inspiration, exploring for the sake of curiosity, caring for the sake of love. We will stop doing something because the world demands it, and we will start doing things because something in us demands it from us. Technology that is capable of doing what we are capable of doing is not the threat, the threat is technology designed to replace living: technology that is designed to capture our attention at any time, to manipulate our reward systems, technology designed to fill any silent moment of our life. And this technology is not coming, but already in our hands. And perhaps the real crisis is that many humans do not yet know what they would be doing without necessity forcing them and technology distracting them.

"prediction is very close to intelligence" Prediction is intelligent as long as things unfold exactly as they did in the past. For surprisingly many fields this is true; which is why LLMs are more valuable than most people realize (and want to admit). However, at the same time, paradigm shifts cannot be predicted. When you truly go from zero to one, invent a new genre, come up with formulas that cannot be inferred or explained by historical data, you never predict - you always create. Which means there are at least two types of intelligence: logic + intuition. Experiential intuition is logic, real intuition is inner knowing, original knowledge that the subconscious mind retrieves directly from a universal quantum field containing all possible information about the past, present, and future. It cannot be logically deduced from past experiences, rahter it is pure "knowing" which surfaces as a sudden realization or gut feeling during brief moments when the rational mind temporarily relaxes its constant analysis and control. This is why I believe these three statements to be true: LLMs are extremely powerful and they are already on an exponential curve to outcompete every single human being and every collective of humans on the logical/rational intelligence. For the near- and medium-term future at least, artificial intelligence can never achieve what humans — because we are conscious — can access on the intuitive side of intelligence. If we fuse the strengths and power of all current forms of AI – including LLMs – with our uniquely human ability to access fields of information (and therefore invent, create, decide) we can create a future that is beyond the beauty of our wildest dreams. The real problem is: most humans, almost all organizations operate entirely on a rational / logical / data-based level (that's why AI, big data, etc. are such a money-making industry). Very very few trust what they know to be true, even though all data, and AI disagrees. This courage, to go against "predictive" intelligence, is what will separate creation from average. Everyone will have access to the same powerful AI systems. Most have access to the same or the least very similar data. Your level of consciousness is the unique difference.
