How will it help? It's the human users who produce the AI slop after all.
I only know one single phone number: My own.
I don't even know my wife's number.

Can I join TestFlight somehow?
So Death Stranding 2 is out and it's awesome, but I had never finished the first one. Got distracted by some other game 20hrs into the experience or so.
So now I need to plow through that again before I touch DS2... 😵💫
It's like the Dark Forest Theory in Three Body Problem.
It might actually be purely logical behaviour, as disgusting as that may be.
To all the 30s/40s ladies (and 40s/50s dudes) out there stressed that you haven't had kids yet:
- Cut out vaccines ASAP
- Go high-fat carnivore
- Scrap the treadmill for consistent weight training
Beautiful things can happen! All of these will drastically extend your fertility window. https://blossom.primal.net/226b858b7136d177ba487c1ec4f800eb7e181f524837405d99fbb246f32d23e2.mp4
You forgot the most important one: Scrap ALL seed oils. Any product with any seed oil on the ingredients list --> Trash bin. 🗑️
how do you find such spaces on Primal? I just upgraded to the latest version on iOS and don't see any new settings...
"I'm vegan btw"
Nah. I'll pass.
...and gives you diabetes and rots your teeth. No thanks.
You'd be shocked how fast internet nerds can dox you just from seeing the view...
At least post such things after the fact. ie knowing that a bitcoiner is currently not at home would be a great chance to search their house for a seed steel or a Trezor...
seems like bad OpSec to do this 🙈
any books and materials that you can recommend?
would also love to hear what your daily routine looks like.
planning to homeschool my now 1 year old daughter... still sounds like the hardest and scariest thing I will ever do in my life to me 🙈
Finally got my Daylight computer. I was expecting to be disappointed, but it seems that the wait was worth it.
After an hour of playing with this, I can say that this is the note taking and book reading tablet that I always wanted (I tried and hated them all).
Osaka is an incredible city. Unbelievably clean. Very walkable. Flawless metro system. Nice parks. Literally endless food options. Super friendly and helpful people. Wow.
what happens when a user cancels their subscription and loses the previously rented storage space?
I keep being underwhelmed by the Singapore Aquarium every time I go.
They make a big deal out of the one in Osaka, so we went today. Meh. Sadly, the one in Singapore is still far better.
The whale sharks are super cool and impressive though.
#travel #Osaka #aquarium
Damn, that looks and sounds incredible!
what's the difference between 2M copies sold vs. players overall???
each player needs a copy, no?
Two scoops of ice cream and a big mountain of whipped cream on top, of course!
Coming in late to end the night for the #fridaymemewar. Time to lose control. 😈

It's really sad. I used to love these kinds of compilations and they sometimes really made me smile.
Now all I think all the time is "meh, I wonder what prompt they used to generate that scene"

you mean like a second brain that remembers everything and knows your files, emails and calendar entries?
What is your concern? You are currently using ChatGPT to help you with your business and you are concerned about telling OpenAI all your secrets?
ICYMI: https://skibidi.cash is a $6,500 (BTC) bounty to build Bitcoin’s first Gen Alpha wallet. The goal: create a creative, wacky, brainrot-inspired wallet teenagers will adore.
~25 builders are already teaming up on Telegramjoin in if you want to participate, find a team mate or just post brainrot content.
What is "brainrot inspired"??
Explain it like I'm old....

Currently listening to nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe and George Gammon and it’s time I stop feeding chatGPT & start working with open source.

Here’s what ChatGPT gave me to get started. Anyone have any tips or alternative suggestions?!!!
TY!
“Here’s a tailored plan to help you create a self-managed business with a private, secure, decentralized AI agent that assists over the next few years:
⸻
Phase 1: Set Up Your Local AI Agent
Recommended Stack
1. LLM Backend:
• Use LM Studio with models like Mistral 7B, Nous Hermes 2, or OpenChat 3.5
• Local install = fully private and offline
• Supports OpenAI-compatible API so you can integrate tools easily
2. Agent Framework:
• Use CrewAI or LangChain Agents
• They allow you to define roles, memory, tasks, and workflows
• You can run agents like:
• Business Strategist
• Content Creator
• Automation Manager
• Privacy Watchdog
3. Optional Tools & Memory
• ChromaDB or Weaviate for long-term memory (knowledge retention)
• Simple File I/O tools for automation or note-keeping
• Browserless / Puppeteer for automating secure web tasks
⸻
Phase 2: Define the Business Mission + AI Roles
Your AI can help you design a business based on your values:
Examples:
• A privacy-first consulting service
• A niche content/media business (Bitcoin, sovereignty, health, etc.)
• A decentralized product or education brand
• An artisan ecommerce brand (with automated product + customer management)
Agent Roles:
• Research Agent: Scans open datasets, local files, or feeds
• Strategy Agent: Helps you roadmap income streams and prep for uncertainty
• Marketing Agent: Writes, plans, and schedules posts (even via scripts)
• Security Agent: Flags privacy issues or automation risks
You can train or prompt these agents with your principles (e.g., avoid SaaS, no surveillance, only open-source tools).
⸻
Phase 3: Future-Proofing Goals
Your agent can help with:
• Risk planning: Economic trends, AI shifts, real-world prep
• Skill growth: Teach yourself new open tools or crypto skills
• Privacy audits: Review software and accounts
• Income defense: Develop offline or P2P income models
You could even design your AI to run self-hosted services:
• Blog or newsletter via Ghost or Hugo
• Ecommerce via BTCPay + Shopify Lite or WooCommerce
• Matrix or Nostr identity management
• Full crypto stack: Sparrow Wallet, SeedSigner, node monitoring
⸻
Phase 4: Deployment & Habits
• Host on your daily driver laptop or dedicated machine
• Regular check-ins with your AI for:
• Weekly review
• Action steps
• Security scans
• System backups
Use Tauri, Node-RED, or a custom UI if you want a lightweight dashboard for your agent.”

I have used all these tools in the past. Was a software engineer for 25 years. Let me tell you: Phase 1 is vastly more complicated than ChatGPT makes you believe, even IF you have expert Python knowledge.
And you would need a very strong computer to run models locally at decent speed and quality, for example a fully maxed out M3 MacBook Pro (maximum RAM is the important part), which costs $8000+
Yea good points. A good old low tech solution and some investigative journalism sounds like the way to go... if only we still had proper journalists and publications on this planet...
How to verify if the leaks are legit?
No. Most stories about a "Utopia" have a nasty twist so that in the end it is hell again...
Filters can definitely lead to censorship, which then means that someone who is being censored needs to approach a friendly miner directly (and bribe them with a hefty fee to include their transaction).
Given that mining is currently highly centralised, it would mean that a shadowy world government would only need to strong arm a handful of big miners and force them to refuse business with a censored entity and thus that entity will be barred from using bitcoin.
Is this not a conceivable scenario?
20k smart users is probably even close to a critical mass where you have enough people so that no matter what you ask, someone smarter than you is gonna give an excellent reply.
an npub does not necessarily reveal who you are and so it does not even reveal if you are a human at all.
Am I missing something? What makes you think the two are similar?
Isn't there a logic gap here? You say that the dollar loses its value and what used to cost $1 now costs $100.
So if this goes on, it just means that what used to cost $1 now costs $10,000 - if bitcoin raises exponentially in lockstep, it does mean that our phrcbasing power is merely PRESERVED, not necessarily increased.
That means, every bitcoiner who humbly stacks sats will at least be able to maintain their current standard of living, but not necessarily be wealthy.
How do we explain that bitcoin somehow DOES INDEED make us super wealthy, even though prices of everything are increasing like crazy?
The assholes at Vultr decided to ban me yesterday.
They asked for explanations of what I used my server for and when I said "nostr" they just told me to get the fuck out.
They gave me 12 hours to access my data and migrate all my dozens of relays and services. All while treating me like a fucking criminal.
I searched for an AI to help me migrate all my stuff and found this Warp tool that is pretty damn good.
It came up with a single one linger to deploy my strfry instances, do strfry db migration, configure HTTP server, everything! I can even tell it "hey, setup blossom on blossom.f7z.io and only allow my pubkey to upload stuff"
Damn fucking wild.
A lifetime ago, I used to be a sysops at a hosting company. Migrating this much stuff would have taken me about a week of fighting old package versions, database migrations, updating configurations.
Now I literally gave root access to an LLM to help me out and it literally did it extremely well. The setup it accomplished is already better than my very ad-hoc deployment I had in my previous server.
Warp terminal app (with ref-link, just like nostr:nprofile1qyvhwumn8ghj76rzwghxxmmjv93kcefwwdhkx6tpdshsz8nhwden5te0dp38ytnrdaexzcmvv5h8xmmrd9skctmfde3x77qqyztuwzjyxe4x2dwpgken87tna2rdlhpd02va5cvvgrrywpddnr3jy4ywtuu taught me) 👇
root access to an LLM... ooph.
could it have hallucinated some nonesense for a moment and accidentally run "sudo rn -rf /"??
Or does it ask for each command to be executed and the human must say OK?
