Using local models remains the core solution of the problem.

Capire Bitcoin significa capire cosa sta andando storto nella nostra società,
Capire che la storia è ciclica ed il denaro un mezzo di coordinazione attraverso lo spazio ed il tempo.
Significa capire perché le pensioni sono una promessa difficile da mantenere, Capire Bitcoin significa capire perché i prezzi della cassa malati aumentano ogni anno.
Capire Bitcoin significa capire la profezia di Orwell e di Aldous Huxley e cercare attivamente un alternativa,
Capire Bitcoin significa accettare che l'essere umano non è buono né cattivo ma spinto da incentivi, che questi incentivi sono il motore della nostra evoluzione.
Significa capire che bisogna rinunciare all'immediato presente per consolidare un futuro migliore, che la stabilità va guadagnata e non viene regalata.
Le responsabilità vanno accettate e non demandate.
Bitcoin non è politica, né religione,
Bitcoin è scienza applicata,
non promette ma dimostra.

ECB Economists: Nocoiners May Be Impoverished by Rising Bitcoin Prices
A new paper by ECB economists describes a 'Bitcoin-positive' scenario as one in which the price of Bitcoin continues to rise significantly and sustainably over time.
"If the price of Bitcoin rises for good, the existence of Bitcoin impoverishes both non-holders and latecomers."

These people clearly haven't studied history.
Wealth redistribution has always been a societal goal to prevent violent insurrections.
Hello Nostr, if you are in a great mood just skip this post; its depressing.
So I had not encountered it before, but yesterday I crossed paths with Child Sexual Abuse Material on Nostr. In my regular internet usage over the years I have rarely come across this stuff, though I guess if I were to look for it I would find it eventually;
That is to say, the status quo is that it does exist, but most people most of the time wont have to deal with it. I think this is important to realize that the world is not perfect as it is, when reflecting on these matters in the context of Nostr.
It goes without saying, but just to be clear: yes I think we should all learn how to tie nooses and identify adequate oak trees.
However marginalized CSAM is, some people want governments to go above and beyond to combat it. Prime example currently is the ‘Chat control’ regulation proposed out of the EU, which wants to install bigbrother client side on your phone to scan every single thing you do in order to flag any suspicious behavior/content, before it gets encrypted. How understandable the motivation might be, even advocacy groups and agencies dealing with the CSAM problem are against this type of stuff, if not just simply because they are already swamped with work/processing of material as it is; opening the floodgates with false positives wont help anything and probably make the situation worse. Aside from the obvious objections to forcibly installing big brother on peoples hardware of course.
Back to Nostr. On the one hand we have the end-user, that does not want to get confronted by this material. From this perspective, CSAM is just one of the many things a user might want to filter out, along with other material that might not be illegal per se but just NSFW etc. Whatever means we find to do this, failure by those mechanisms to do so is bad, unwanted etc. but not a direct systemic risk to Nostr; like I mentioned in the beginning, it is not impossible to accidentally come across this type of stuff on the internet today as is, and the whole world is still using it.
But it does become a systemic issue from the relay perspective. Here, it is not some incidental bad experience that can be clicked away. It is a crime to host this type of material which brings in the risk of prosecution for ‘simply running a relay’ that some asshole decided to nuke with CSAM or other illegal material.
But here my optimism comes in. Nostr is pro censorship; the theory is that every relay can moderate to their hearts content, because users are ultimately always able to route around such obstacles (very much like ‘the internet’ itself). This means that that relays should be able to adjust their policies and methods of moderation to their capacity to deal with unwanted content and risk appetite. From a locked down white-list only relay on one side of the spectrum, all the way to an open relay with heavy sophisticated analytics for assessment and filtering, and everything in between: albeit that it wont deliver us a perfect solution in all cases, it will remove the dark cloud of systemic risk to the protocol/network, because we are able to sufficiently marginalize the phenomena.
On a last note: when talking about filtering/assessing for this content it gets complicated really quickly. You can imagine some AI performing such a task, or using lists of known content to filter; however you want to do it, you first come to the question on how you construct that stuff in the first place; it requires gathering such content and human eyes looking at it. And then subsequently you produce tooling that can be flipped around and used as a search engine to seek and find such material instead of filtering it away. So yeah, there are no graceful perfect solutions I am afraid.
Well, there is one of course….

In the end, a Llama Meta model will filter the content.
Many bet on MSTR blowing up a year ago, but it didn't happen.
I've learned to be humble and recognize that some people are smarter than I am.
Their roles as wealthy founders serve as a good proxy for understanding this and getting exposure to their endeavors.
A deathbed means less than we think. People often start believing in God at that point,
but it’s not a reliable source of truth, even if there’s a kind of romantic narrative around it.
We are programmed for obsolescence;
urgency is hardcoded,
and illusions don’t change that fact.
Almost every civilization of the past has regarded caloric restriction as a panacea. It’s simply common sense, we trade it for the illusion of growth through overconsumption.
The fiat system intoxicates investors and entrepreneurs with easy access to paper money, leading to the creation of fragile 'paper castles' and encouraging fraud.
This echoes the warnings of Warren Buffet, who, counterintuitively, is a critic of Bitcoin.
While Bitcoin doesn’t generate cash flow by itself, its role as hard money pushes the system to become more efficient and cash-flow oriented.
I've come to realize that Hanzi—and likely Kanji as well—serve as powerful tools for preserving and transmitting culture.
They convey not just composite symbols, but also logical structures that endure across space and time, embedding cultural values and ideas deeply into written language.
Even more layers of abstraction between us and reality
People with suboptimal cognitive abilities don't understand that,
for the intellectual strata of our society,
money is energy—a data signal that encompasses the globe,
carrying information and resources around the world,
in the same way blood circulates in the body.
