Is your range good with the stock antenna?

yeah but these are chatbots

I know many people on nostr are passionate about open-source. Whether you're into Bitcoin or not, many of us have grown to appreciate developers and their projects, fork as we wish, and have contributed code or sats where possible.

In normie world, though, there is a concerted campaign to demonize open-source code in the field of AI. This is dangerous.

There are people now making "national security" arguments about the availability of open-source LLMs like LLaMA, arguing that spooks, spies, and soldiers in the Chinese military are using these models to do bad and nefarious things.

There are active bills in the US House to outlaw any "foreign" access to open-source code, which I fear will only get worse.

We have to take stand against it, and protect and defend open-source for all.

Wrote a long-form nostr post about it here:

stellar work by the Bitcoin Policy Institute on the future prospects for a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve!

Very much a worthwhile topic to explore, debate, and envision.

Thanks to BPI, we have a blueprint.

Not to step in a beehive, but there's actually an easy solution that would remove American agency and debate on this question altogether.

Just ending US aid to Israel.

This is a consistent theme in American Jewish press and actually a major talking point for several pro-Israeli analysts. Israel is wealthy enough as a nation now, and can issue bonds if it wants additional (and necessary) funds for defense.

Making diaspora politics something so central to the American experiment and policymaking is dangerous and injurious to all kinds of liberty at home, and it also completely warps democratic order in Israel in a way that many Israelis and Arabs also resent.

How I’m dictating my Nostr posts

Protos should be embarrassed by this article.

TP USA isn’t my fancy, but it doesn’t mean them or other (pretty boring) political groups using cash app or (god forbid) bitcoin donations should somehow be illegal…

Can we just stop with the illiberalism and just let people use neutral money?

I guess I have to use BREAKING and make other bold claims to make any traction. So it goes
