I used OKCupid a long time ago and their algorithm had 100 scoring number for whether the other person was a match. But it was like trying to put me with very similar backgrounds which was boring.
However I did use the "looking for friends" option and I just disregarded the scoring they suggested, and it worked well to find friends in a new city. It was more about finding and writing people. pre mobile swiping stuff.
yeah, it's my firm opinion that fuzzy logic/ML/AI stuff is way less helpful than a low friction to starting conversations
imo nostr could become this if the clowns currently dominating development funding actually thought about building it for something other than stroking their pathetic bitcoiner egos and actually providing a useful framework for paid services to provide solutions to problems that the existing centralised networks cannot
I like that idea of low friction ways to start conversations.
It's really convenient to travel now with bitcoin community stuff. I haven't traveled in like 10 years and back then there was couch surfing to find local people. This is a really cool benefit to Bitcoin right now is to be able to travel and find community and conversations all down the rabbit hole like coffee enemas, fish pond aquaponics.
up until about 2012, you could pretty much get a girlfriend in a matter of weeks on any given social communication system, including facebook, since then it's become a trollfest and all the women are either pinkhairs or satanist dominatrixes
all the regular girls seem to have gone or at least have taken to masquerading as a dumb tart
Somewhere there's a horde of regular gals in hiding. I'm going to guess they are at salsa dancing, yoga and oh there's actually a lot in rowing. The ones rowing boats are intense.
Cstack and burners being retarded about shit led to some wonky net stuff , but portegueus nostr is still pretty dope and it may yet change
Also: agreed.
Also: not just funding the ecosystemic shit deals with silicon valley insanities Austin Portland and Seattle shit, ummm theil could explain better than me.
