work in tech, make music online ... always figuring out the next horizon. your AI's favourite AI whisperer... I will never ask you for money or sell you a course. If you're getting those kinds of requests THATS NOT ME !!!

As an oldschool coder ... these LLM AI IDE tools are amazing !!! Came across a new one that seems to really do what I need.

Relays are still a dark art to me … but a quick scan of the code … first time I’m sort of getting it

Looking forward to this weeks coding activities.

Every project I’ve done in the past… user management always sucked … but passing that responsibility to the user via Nostr … I can explore ideas without worrying about login support.

… every wild idea I’m thinking about feels viable.

In fiction, the point of view from how we see the story can often color how we perceive the ethics of characters. And of course, that lesson can apply in real life as well.

If you ask most people if Neo and Trinity in the Matrix are heroes or anti-heroes, for example, they’ll probably say heroes. There is nothing particularly dark or edgy about them other than kind of a general “cool” factor. They’re pretty chill and well-meaning people in their downtime, we care about their relationship, they help their friends, they have rather pure motivations, etc.

But in the Matrix, agents can teleport themselves into any unplugged person. Which means that when Neo or Trinity attack a place, they pretty much have to slaughter everyone. Leaving survivors means that agents can teleport in. Innocent guards and stuff just get wiped out by the dozens. The stakes of humanity being enslaved by the machines are so high, that the characters don’t even really debate the ethics of this; they just accept it.

Like literally the opening scene is Trinity killing police, and the audience is like “wow cool” instead of “so, is that the antagonist?” The famous lobby scene consists of Neo and Trinity wiping out tons of guards that are just doing their job of guarding a skyscraper. In the sequel, Trinity sends a motorcycle bomb into a power station, and then murders the remaining guards as they attack her. We all basically like Trinity, and yet there are platoons of widows and orphans out there from all the guards she killed. There aren’t really even any scenes of her reflecting on that, like finding it emotionally difficult in any way to do those things or feeling in any way haunted by it.

If the Matrix story was shown from like, a detective’s point of view, these characters are terrorists and would either seem like outright villains (if you don’t know their motivation) or anti-heroes if you do (ends justify the means; mass-murder is okay and not even worth feeling bad about if it saves billions).

So, how the movie *frames* things for us makes a big difference. We closely follow Neo and Trinity so much that we’re like, “of course they’re the heroes”. The same thing happens in real life with political commentators and things like that; a cultural narrative can frame something as wholly good or wholly bad when often it’s actually kind of complex.

Therefore, it’s a useful practice whether in analyzing fiction or real life, to always ask how you could invert the framing for something.

Love it !!! We’re finally at the observers mindset of classical stories …

When we are outside a system of thinking & able to see it from all sides … we’re on the path to transcending it.

This is a great place to be … if we as a collective are ready to do that with the Matrix … that means we’re ready to evolve as #creativeBeing(s)

After this weekend I should have a #MagicLink login option for my first Nostr app.

So ppl who don’t want to input their #nsec can use the DM option of a platform they do trust to validate their identity.

AND … still provide a secure public/private way of using this platform I’m working on

#startupLife #buildWhatYouLove

From the outside looking in …

Special-interest Lobbies own them all. Or have blackmail material on em …

The question becomes more of … if ppl are debating typos … they’re focused on the medium and not the message.

Let the typos go … nostr platform works as designed. Make another post and link it in a reply to the 1st one … leave it to the display app to choose to find and fix the lead post in the thread.

Love the #UX & #UIdesign of this app. Takes me back to those early days of using gopher to browse different file servers.

#niceWork

… been figuring if it’s possible to turn everything into url-links & API calls… that on the other side we’d all figure & find the right integration.

I wanna get rid of user management activities & focus on use case / feature-function flows.

Oh that’s a good point.

My thoughts were to encode any activity that would require signing to be via URL that would send them back to their native messaging app to send from that … sort of like how “share via … “ works.

… or at least that’s my work around for now.

question for #askNostr ... would you be more likely to login via DM login-code sent to your public key account rather than entering your #nsec ?

I'm trying to NOT ask for nsec keys, and also trying to make it as light as possible to validate and use the app I'm designing.

thoughts? suggestions?

... continuing an exploration on the future of #UserExperience. I had a fairly deep conversation with #ChatGPT about ethics and we aligned on a concept and an intro article on #ethicalUX, social good, and user / platform engagement

If you can get your hands on this book … it’s a great primer to understanding reality in the most abstracted way … next to #DMT … this book has shaped my in the most rewarding, inspiring & humbling ways.
