I particularly enjoyed the discussion about what nostr makes possible, we’re not even sure of yet. We don’t know what we don’t know but we do know that we’re playing with some new kind of fire 🔥 here that we all immediately recognize but aren’t exactly sure everything it’s for. It’s really exciting and terrifying at the same time like an Alfred Nobel moment, a social and layer zero and up manipulation tool harnessing automated language to the fullest extent, when combined with advanced robotics is going to mass produce some crazy stuff.

e.g. I had an idea in college earlier to make an art display (and there have been ones like it before) where the front end is a website or app that charges for the ability to make a real world change, that’s pretty much the goal of most websites in fact, but this one would be robotic in nature so have an arm you can manipulate say move a ball around, dig a hole in some sand, whatever. I figured you could do different little novelties as a proof of concept and build it out until people have little factories at home where they have some capacity to make various products that can be verified as conforming to some instructions and voila, decentralized manufacturing.

I think this is much easier to develop now than 3 or 4 years ago when I initially had the idea.

Thoughts?
