I'll still be here tomorrow to high five you yesterday, my friend. XMR/BTC

Now that it is in innevitable AI would disrupt many jobs, my arachnid tingles tells me CBDC will be pushed for UBI.

2 interesting facts about Hal Finney:

- His last comment on Reddit was tipping random user +1BTC

- He had his body cryogenically frozen

It seems that the role of StableDiffusion is becoming "the one that can do porn".

Prompt: Describe America as a dystopia

People will realize how important is decentralization and privacy when they are forced to own nothing and be happy about it.

Programming has come a long way over the years. In the past, people had to program using punch cards. Later, machine language became the norm, and people had to write instructions that were specific to the processor that would run their code. High-level languages were then introduced, which allowed computers to translate architecture-agnostic code into machine-level instructions for different architectures.

Debugging used to be a tedious process, as people could only detect mistakes in their code after compiling it. But intellisense revolutionized the debugging process by allowing the development environment to detect a lot of mistakes before compiling the code. This greatly reduced the amount of debugging needed.

In the past, programmers had to write code in high-level languages to explicitly tell the computer every step it needs to take. However, today's LLMs allow programmers to describe their intentions with plain text descriptions. The computer then writes its own instructions, with some guidance from the programmer.

It's important to remember that programming has gone through several major changes over the years. If you are a new entrant to the field, it's worth bearing in mind that this won't be the last major upheaval.

Multimodal AI will make the Apple Vision the most successful product line of Apple.

Tesla will be the first company to produce high volume humanoids. However, some people disagree possibly because they dislike Elon Musk. It's important to realize that Tesla is an AI company that happens to manufacture cars. Their approach to creating humanoid robots is far more advanced than any other company. You can dislike Musk all you want, but you have to admit that the Tesla AI team is incredibly impressive.

Voice and image capabilities in ChatGPT replace services like computer help, customer support, cooking, home repairs, and car maintenance along with basic tasks, it eliminates millions of jobs. Simply take a photo and ask for guidance. The success of ChatGPT could make Apple Vision Pro the most successful one.

AI influencers being all "fake" could actually be good for young people. It's a big reminder that they're totally artificial, which is pretty different from today's "real" influencers who can sometimes make young people think their looks are totally achievable using filters and airbrushing. Human influencers can unintentionally make young folks feel like they have to look a certain way, which isn't always healthy. But AI influencers are like, "Hey, we're not even trying to be real." So, it kinda pushes the idea that it's okay to be yourself and not obsess over unrealistic beauty standards, a reminder to embrace your authentic self with imperfections.

BlackRock's strategic approach to dominating the Bitcoin industry is evident through their efforts to obtain approval for a Bitcoin ETF and their understanding of scarcity. Learn how their game plan could impact the future of Bitcoin.

BlackRock, known for their professional and strategic approach to asset acquisition, is making significant moves in the Bitcoin industry. They aim to accumulate and control the entire industry, leveraging their understanding of scarcity and their successful track record in acquiring forest land for carbon credits. BlackRock's application for a Bitcoin ETF highlights their intent to buy and control a large amount of Bitcoin, giving them a major advantage in controlling price appreciation. This approach, while potentially concerning for the Bitcoin ecosystem, could also drive increased liquidity and adoption. Additionally, BlackRock's involvement in Bitcoin is likely to impact the ESG narrative, as they aim to create incentives for borrowing through the financial system using Bitcoin. It is crucial for Bitcoin holders to be aware of these developments and consider holding onto Bitcoin while exploring fiat generation opportunities.

It seems that the future may not be very bright for women as they may end up being lonely. Throughout history, women have been seen as the gatekeepers to sex, but this is now changing. Many books and films have highlighted this imbalance over the years. With the arrival of dating websites and "boss women", alternatives to traditional dating have emerged, such as OnlyFans.

According to recent studies, 80% of women are only interested in 20% of men, which has led many men to pay for fake partners on the internet. Now, we are seeing the rise of AI equivalents of OnlyFans, featuring fake beautiful women who are willing to do anything for their "web friends". So far, AI boyfriend and girlfriend experiences are only available online, but it's only a matter of time before they become physical.

It's clear that the top 20% of men and women will continue to thrive and find partners. The few traditional men and women will likely marry and have families. However, a significant portion of the "undesirable" 80% of men will likely remain single and turn to AI technology for companionship. This means that the 80% of remaining women will have to settle for "low-grade" men, and not all of them will succeed. Sadly, many women will end up being lonely and childless.

Privacy will get worse on Windows with Copilot. Remember the U.S. SEC confirmed they already use AI for Americans social credit.

"Latinx" is a slur in LATAM.

Hate speech is just speech that you hate right?

Not sure why Farcaster refuses adding microtipping as zaps, zaps is what makes nostr special.

Replying to Avatar Seth For Privacy

Unfortunately, there has been a concerted effort by big tech to destroy the feasibility of privacy-preserving front-ends and open-source clients recently, including YouTube, X, and Reddit.

All three have taken steps that destroyed Invidious, Nitter, and Teddit usability.

As such I've simply taken down my instances of all three as they have been unusable for some time and have no realistic workarounds for public instances at this time. If that changes I will put them all back up, but for now it's just not possible to run public instances of any.

It's *extremely* sad to see the hard work of the contributors of these three projects destroyed by the flick of a switch by big tech companies, but is yet another reminder to stop relying on big tech and start taking social media and media itself into your own hands.

For a YouTube alternative, consider PeerTube.

For an X alternative, congrats, you're already on Nostr 👋

For a Reddit alternative, I honestly don't have a recommendation outside of some Lemmy and forum usage.

Note that both Nitter and Invidious are working hard on workarounds and fixes, but Teddit seems to be completely dead due to API monetization of Reddit. I'll try to keep updates on Nitter and Invidious status if workarounds that are feasible show up.

If you do still want to use YouTube, I highly recommend FreeTube as an open-source desktop client:

https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube

I don't touch YouTube without it since Invidious went down. You can easily import your subscriptions from YouTube and other clients like NewPipe here:

https://docs.freetubeapp.io/usage/importing-subscriptions/

If you're on Android you should be using NewPipe, absolutely amazing FOSS client that blocks ads, allows downloads, etc.:

newpipe.net

Tips if you do need to use X on the go for some reason:

1. Use a VPN

2. Use a good browser with ad/cookie blocking

3. Use the progressive web app (simple add to home screen from Safari/Brave/etc) instead of the "proper" app

Not really any other options, sadly, but that prevents the majority of tracking!

Try monero.town with Voyager or Sync.
