What are the clients/business models you think have the highest chance of success #asknostr
I see a lot of “roads to nowhere” and effectively central planning due to the fact that Dorsey doused nostr in money.
I’m really curious if there’s any organic use cases that are bullish
AI DVM's are it IMO
Run AI Nostr bot
Zap to use
Get product/service desired
Everyone will be using them without thought in due time.
Eh
Seems like a race to the bottom. AI at large is also heavily subsidized .
What are some examples that you personally would pay for
It'd say so yes, but to me the opportunity is too vast; its like saying in 1999 "they'll be too many websites in 20 years", or cloud storage; can always use more.
I'd pay not just for pictures and video stuff, but for a good refined agent to;
- build me an MVP of a Nostr client
- do deep research on a topic I asked, fed with my data I provide
- learn a new language
Many more I'm sure.
None of the use cases you mentioned are good use cases for DVMs. You’d be better off running Open Web UI on a laptop and pay $0 marginal cost.
Beyond that component of impracticality: Every DVM interaction is public by default. The PlebAI guy made Pablo add encryption but it’s still retarded because you’re leaking metadata of which services you’re using. Why? The only use cases where a DVM makes sense are ones where you don’t give a shit bc you’re going to share results immediately or where nostr data itself is intensive to the work product. Can’t think of another good reason.
No offense but seems like hopium.
Please share what clients/business models you think will have highest rate of success
The truth is: I don’t know! That’s part of why I asked. I think the truth is there’s a “bubble” because Dorsey came in too early imo. It artificially spins out projects that don’t have organic need or product market fit.
I think an interesting and more organic direction to go would be things more like usenet in the 90s. Some ideas around this theme:
- Twitter/forums (obviously)
- Academic research and collaboration (fewer rent seeking journals)
- things like encrypting and storing medical data and having it follow the individual
I like your honest and direct answer; agreed.
Nostr atm I feel is still in "twitter, decentralized social media" mode, and I we'll get out of that soon. Where exactly? Have ideas but not sure 'til we get there.
Medical records somehow encrypted with your npub is necessary at some point
