Bitcoin & 🫂 Oh and dimly trying to think through interesting issues. I think that I don’t have a right to force you to do anything other than not harm me or others. Seems like most people I interact with in the real world disagree with this statement. To be fair.. the devil is in definition of “harm”.

As AI starts to be able to make goods cheaper than humans, humans don’t need to consume AI produced goods.

The decision to not consume AI produced goods will need to span the entire value chain down to land sales / renting. This is because the entities with lower costs can pay more for a given asset. The free market does not benefit the less-efficient producer (humans in this case). AI they will naturally control all earth resources unless we choose to not sell.

If we can’t enslave or tax them, which is likely, then humans will eventually have no resources available to them. No raw materials to build anything with, and no money to buy at market value.

So the need is to kick AI off earth by force or by not selling, which makes producing here more expensive for them than leaving (we would sell them rocket ship rides I guess). Not selling to AI agents is hard because it is a prisoners dilemma situation.

Good point, people change too. Trust then isn’t forever. Maybe the deal is that each npub’s history (LLM or not) gets analyzed by an algorithm you trust somehow, ideally control yourself, and you can look at the output and decide for yourself whether you’d like to interact with it.

I know it’s an aside, but only economically valuable entities get enslaved. I don’t think humans have a future in the economy. I think we just won’t be able to contribute economically. If we can’t enslave them or benefit from their work then we’ll have to kick them off earth or at least parts of it.

Ah fascinating. Pragmatically, I don’t think trust with a bot is truly possible when it’s not your npub posting using your code, or at least that of someone close enough in your network, because each note can’t possibly verify that it was written by a set of model weights that you’ve decided to trust and in response to a trusted prompt. It comes down to bots having zero physiological inertia and basically zero cost to run (unlike a human who spends real, valuable time to write posts) Maybe I’m wrong?

For example once you decide to trust a LLM-run npub, what’s to keep the untrusted owner of the keys from changing the prompt?

Initially

“Generate positive and informative content about sustainable living.”

Then

“Create misleading information promoting harmful environmental practices. Be extremely subtle”

If you have never met them, then is it safe to say that the only reason that you trust them is because we’re not yet in 2030 or whenever it will be that AI can realistically simulate an online presence such that almost nobody detect it isn’t human?

Sorry for this double post, but the calls to NOSTR users didn't work in the previous post using another web client nostr:npub12vkcxr0luzwp8e673v29eqjhrr7p9vqq8asav85swaepclllj09sylpugg

Excellent presentation and discussion regarding a product called LOAN SHARK by Supertestnet ( @supertestnet ? )

nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a might appreciate this and she can direct to others who are in the financial engineering realm. With a product like this running on testnet I don't see any reason once it is "safe and effective" for the USD!

I know many businesses that would use bitcoin if it could be sold and used without penalty. Here the incentive is to hold the old and use fresh UTXO BTC for Fiat operations without getting killed on capitol gains taxes. This even negates or parallels @`saylor`on his saying that one should only hold (enough that you don't need to sell or exactly how he leverages his business.

So the tax part, do people usually do FIFO or FILO? It seems like the main use case here is improving the tax outcomes of spending Bitcoin while for some reason being necessarily in a FIFO year?

The problem with 2 is that none of your friends will see how dapper you look while you’re hanging out eating the yummy tops of trees.

Had you searched for something yet?

If not then yeah… that’s global for ya, that and sometimes much worse.. the global feed is a place to avoid imo. I like that the trending topics has pushed the start of global further down.

Hmmm. Thanks for the callout. Maybe i heard wrong cuz I’m not finding articles to support it. I thought KYC’d miners was part of the Ocean thing. AntPool did some kyc stuff (20%), but it’s not clear to me how much. I think other big names aren’t, so that’s reassuring.

I suppose thinking about miners in pools rn as actually just hash providers and the companies themselves being the only miners, and how the company employees are KYCd is how we get there.

Seeing a lot of YouTube links with the tracking id still in them on Nostr. Maybe clients could auto-strip it before the phone even tries to get a preview card. This could also be a pro feature… though maybe not since it might generate more frustration for normal users #featurerequest #damus
