The blockchain was hijacked for uses other than its intended purpose (sending payments), and the Bitcoin community either couldn’t or wouldn’t stop it. I think it’s reasonable to wonder if we can count on Bitcoin in the future.
In the silver age, DC’s writers used to have characters refer to Wonder Woman as “WW” in speech balloons. It made no sense as a spoken abbreviation.
I’ve thought about doing that. However, the BRC-20 fiasco lowered my confidence in Bitcoin’s future. The fees are lower than they were at their peak, though, so I’m going to wait a while and see.
Interplanetary File System. It allows you to store and retrieve files to and from a peer-to-peer network.
I watched The Lego Movie on 250 mcg LSD. The spaceship-building character was so intense I had to look away when he was on screen.
I didn’t have enough interest to listen to the podcast, but I did find the Infineo web site. Am I correct to think $SOUND tokens amount to shares of a whole-life-insurance-backed security?
I can't resist a #Remy video that skewers the #JonesAct.
If Nostr is suited for DMs, then hiding DM metadata from the public should be simple to do. What's the solution?
Maybe the Nostr protocol isn’t suited for sending direct messages? There are other protocols that are designed for it (e.g. Signal, SimpleX). Why does Nostr have to do it? Just because it’s a Twitter feature?
They should at least not sit on a bench or machine so other people can work.
They say the poison vine breeds a finer wine.

What about metadata? I assume Twitter can still see whom you messaged, and when?
FIT files are binary. Were you thinking of storing activities off relays and then referring to them from notes, or storing them on relays in a different format?
I was responding to #[2]​, who said he assumed computers would have desires and understanding soon, and thought the “father of AI” would revise the time limit of his prediction to 2.5 years in a few months.
If you can develop a measurable prediction, I might be willing to bet. I gather you think that something like Lt. Cmdr. Data is going to exist in less than three years?
I didn’t watch the video, so I don’t know what he said. But computers today don’t have desires and don’t understand what they’re doing. I don’t see that changing in the foreseeable future.
The sort of AI contemplated in that thought experiment isn’t even on the horizon.
That isn’t how humans normally handle new technology. Normally, humans innovate more-or-less freely. New technologies create new problems. Humans cope with or mitigate those problems. Rarely are the problems solved unless the technology is supplanted. Innovation continues.
If being passive means not impeding AI research and development, then the upside is not preventing or slowing down the good things that AI can bring to us.
