for any news, the bitcoin price is the first market indication of how people feel about it.

markets are emotional voting machines, and bitcoin is open 24/7.

I think the military versions will mostly be emp hardened.

I'm so worried about a drone warfare dystopia

I tried listening to Radiohead ten or so years ago. I tried again today. Still don't like Radiohead.

Nostr, much like Bitcoin, is more about censorship resistance than privacy.

It different contexts "they" means different things. I left it vague intentionally, to have a better chance at being right :-)

The Epstein client list is coming. Some of it at least. That gets us one step closer. We see who "they" had over a barrel... but still not "they" themselves.

merry christmas y’all 🥹

Is No Bullshit Bitcoin and anti-nostr publication?

Regardless, stay bullshit my friends

It’s fucked up, but I’m honestly starting to see the whole of the 20th century as a giant eugenics project carried out by statism.

Genocides are really just a starting point for the crudest and most rudimentary forms of this project. It’s really about destroying any peoples that will not be subjected—which largely continues on today.

This form of discreet eugenics is really much more about changing and transforming life itself from a private lived experience to a public one that is administered. Peoples that will not allow for their lives to be administrated by others are the first to be destroyed.

From here it’s much more about how to design the liquidated remains. The people that were folded into in new system of control generations ago when our ancestors bent the knee. We are generations downstream of that a and that has fundamentally transformed our being as people.

Do people actually like Reddit style threads? Damus threads could definitely be better but I’m not sure of expanding and collapsing. Changes the entire experience.

Hey#[0] , any chance you can share some Blusky invites?

Scenario: genera ai is here. You have 2 options:

1. Augment yourself to get to the same or higher level of intelligence just to survive.

2. Remain you, without augmentation, knowing that you’ll likely become endangered and ultimately extinct.

What do you do?

# AI-Enabled Hacking Will Lead To Decentralization

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world around us, automating tasks and enabling advanced technologies that once belonged only in science fiction. However, alongside its many benefits, AI also poses significant risks - particularly when it comes to cybersecurity. In this essay, we will explore how AI has the potential to make hacking much easier, the challenges it poses to centralized services, and how this will lead to decentralization and pave the way for the web we all want to see.

## Centralization of Data: A Hacker's Paradise

The centralization of data in services like Google, Facebook, and other major platforms makes it increasingly easier for hackers to gain access to sensitive personal information. With AI technologies becoming more sophisticated, hackers can now imitate an individual's voice, behavior, and even appearance to bypass security measures and mine valuable data. In short, AI is like a hacker's Swiss Army knife.

Hackers with AI can and will exploit any vulnerability in a centralized service's attack surface. And make no mistake, your data will become increasingly more important as they will be used as training data to imitate you to hack you further.

## The Solution: Decentralization and Personal Data Ownership

The risks posed by AI-enabled hacking highlight the urgent need for decentralization in digital services and a shift towards personal data ownership. By hosting our own services, we can take control of our data and reduce the chances of it being compromised by hackers. It's time to move from a giant honeypot of data to a collection of smaller, more secure honey jars.

Hosting our own services allows us to store and manage our sensitive information on our personal devices or private servers, ensuring that we have complete control over who has access to it. This approach not only provides a higher level of security but also empowers us to manage our digital lives with confidence and autonomy.

To implement this level of decentralization, we need to develop and adopt user-friendly tools and platforms that enable individuals to easily host and maintain their own digital services. These tools should prioritize privacy and security, ensuring that even less tech-savvy users can confidently manage their personal data.

Additionally, the broader digital ecosystem should support and encourage best practices and continual immunization against hacking. Together, we can build a digital neighborhood watch.

## Conclusion

The rapid advancement of AI technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work. However, it also presents new and significant cybersecurity threats, particularly in the realm of hacking. By embracing decentralization and personal data ownership through hosting our own services, we can safeguard our digital lives from the dangers of AI-enabled attacks and build a more secure and trustworthy digital ecosystem.

The future may seem uncertain, but by taking control of our data and working together to create a decentralized digital landscape, we can overcome the challenges posed by AI-enabled hacking and shape a more secure, hopeful future for us all. So let's roll up our sleeves and get to work, building a self-sovereign digital world.

Which would be the end of it. I think people here are assuming that people are stupid and they will go along with whatever the govt throws at them, I don’t think so, especially when you have an alternative that’s as easy as bitcoin.

CBDCs would be the end of FIAT

I'm on Nostr and Bluesky... use both daily. I can say with confidence that at least from the quality of messages and the general vibrancy and nood, Nostr is far, far, far better. Nostr will win and be the sole contender for a truly uncensorable decentralized social network.
