A careful distinction we should all remember. AI is NOT a fact checker. It is an information consolidator. Garbage in, garbage out. Government white washed filtered covid scientific studies in, government covid propaganda out.
Guide the AI through alternative information channels on its data sources and you might find the conclusion contradictory to large institutional supported opinions. But ask it directly “was 9/11 an inside job” and don’t challenge it to question core internet information sources, and it will give you the answer you might expect.
My opinion is that AI companies will continue to refine their ability to “control the narrative” subtly at the same time the masses build ever increasing trust in their AI “mentors”.
I think there will come a day very soon where one or more AI-developed and defended flavors of Bitcoin Core arise as alternatives to the human maintained version.
Would this be a healthy or dangerous form of node choice decentralization? 🧐
Do any friends have any 1st or 2nd degree connections with bitcoin companies hiring? I am looking for more fulfilling work!
With the advent of AI, online applications are becoming hopeless for connection, filled with AI spam content.
I am a full stack software developer specializing in front end (React) with 15 years experience.

This is a solution for PERFECT Bitcoin privacy. Communities should really encourage using these, or creating their own. Cost is a bit high, but can definitely come down.
- Humans: Labor → Money → Food → Sustenance
- AI: Energy → Crypto → Processing → Operation
POW mining crystallizes electricity into tradeable tokens that AI can later "consume" for computation, just like humans trade stored work in the form of money for the calories they need to survive.
Bitcoin is under attack. Switch to #BitcoinKnots.
1. Bitcoin core changes were unnecessary and unsolicited
2. The changes removed freedom to vote with your node for how you want to handle spam.
3. Anyone who challenged the Core team was censored.
4. The executors have clear financial interest in the changes. And are still forcing it through.
Vote against this madness. This is Bitcoin, not fiat.
Strike CEO had a great video on this. Decorrelation has happened several times as markets smell blood.
There is risk in everything. Getting the entire Bitcoin community and culture to pivot away from its fundamental premise i see personally as less likely than finding a very large deposit of gold or a new technology to extract it more efficiently, or a trusted entity manipulating numbers you must depend on to understand total supply.
Gold needs much more than some other person to accept it. At what exchange rate? What is the total supply? Who verifies that in a trustworthy way? How does supply adapt to demand? Are there large deposits we haven’t discovered? How do you guard it, transport it (internationally)? Where can you safely exchange it in times of government oppression or depression? How do you verify its authenticity and at what cost?
This was my depressed reflective self thinking mid-exercise after the stock market tanked post tariff announcement 😅
Tell me the Fed is going to print without telling me the Fed is going to print 😅
If my wealth is defined by a number I see in a dashboard, denominated in a currency that has no fixed supply, hyperbolized by an endless derivatives market, maybe I should reevaluate how much of my health I sacrifice to make this number go up. Maybe my health was the only valuable asset all along, and I was tricked by a market gamified for engagement and cheap dopamine consumption and consumerism. Maybe I’ve enslaved myself to the game, and I have no one to blame but myself.
Someone please do an in depth discussion on the state of the Lightning network in a podcast or post. From the outside looking in, it is very hard to identify how strong and robust the Lightning network is now. And that is very discouraging for jumping in and getting my feet wet.
Last time I tried to install and run a private LND node through CLI it was a painful experience. 🙁
I know there are layered abstractions on top of lightning, but there are so many options it becomes overwhelming. 4+ alternatives to LND, AlbyHub, Nostr Connect, etc.
Depending on how much Bitcoin you hold and how badly the government wants to make an example of you, it wouldn’t be surprising if the police showed up at your door under the guise of protecting against ‘terrorism.’
This is by far the best solution I have ever found for lower back pain due to prolonged sitting / desk work. This takes all the pressure off the lower back and puts the hip flexors in extension for hours. It basically cured my chronic back pain. I hope it helps someone 😃
Hello gm
I wrote about the FAIR Act for nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcqypvlhmnnd80hwy7mh75mhkcgjtrzaw5jjgexzhr07fu8mguyedms7ydwvc3 – a Bill that protects your Bitcoin from being stolen by the Government
s/o to the guys that pointed this out to me!
https://bitcoinmagazine.com/politics/the-fair-act-would-protect-bitcoin-holders
At the moment, the Government could seize a person’s legally acquired bitcoin if the UTXO itself had, for example, previously been used in sanctions evasion or touched a darknet market; regardless of whether its owner was aware of the coin’s history when obtaining it.
This law will fix this.
Could “proof of exercise” be the synonymous solution to “proof of work” for proving we are human?
All current tech has significant limitations.
Just a fun thought.
