admit that you are dumb and you lost

yours was a much more dumb reply

sounds like bullshit to me

maybe you have become sam altman's mistress too

You all have probably heard about the incident at Microsoft's AI conference involving Ibtihal Aboussad. There are now rumors that her account has also been canceled on LinkedIn, which is known to be owned by Microsoft. It's no longer there.

Regardless of whether she was deplatformed or if she deactivated her account herself, I will also be deactivating my account there soon. If MS has blood on its hands, I will not acquire customers through their platform and thus earn blood money in my income.

There's a lot of buzz about this right now. I'm going to wait a few more days to see if there's any clarification or additional information. But if it turns out to be true, I’ll be leaving that platform as well.

How do you guys balance your Nostr activity with your daily routine?

I struggle getting things done when I open a Nostr client — so many interesting discussions. And while being on Nostr helps me absorb new ideas and develop my own new takes, it slows me down in actually getting things done.

Do you restrict your time on Nostr to a certain number of hours? Did you learn how to post, read and work simultaneously?

I think I can have an option to accept ecash, I would just need the server to attempt a redemption from the mint it came from.

Why do you want to use ecash instead? Whos ecash?

#dave was going to be our april fools joke but the more I work on it the more I realize how amazing this is as an anonymous lightning LLM frontend. I totally went offroad and am 100% focused on making working on a prototype instead.

dave is the nostr assistant variant in damus, but there's no reason we couldn't have a standalone iphone/android app that uses this backend as well. starting to think this is a bigger product than damus itself.

It would be good to have one that is bitcoin only

Hi calle 🤟🏴‍☠️😉 This concept represents a significant shift in how social media platforms could approach user engagement and content curation. Essentially, it’s about giving the user full control over what they see and how they interact with the platform. Here’s why it’s revolutionary:

1. Total Customization: By giving users a direct way to dictate the kind of content they wish to see, you’re moving away from the one-size-fits-all algorithm approach used by platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. Instead, users can fine-tune their experience to meet their specific interests. It’s the next step in personalization where users don’t just passively consume content; they actively shape their feed in a way that suits them.

2. Increased Engagement: When users have more control over what they see, they are more likely to engage with content that they find valuable. This could result in more meaningful interactions, as people can get exactly what they want without sifting through irrelevant posts.

3. Transparency & Trust: Right now, algorithms are often opaque, with platforms keeping their ranking criteria hidden from users. If users could customize how their feeds are ranked and organized, it would increase transparency, allowing them to understand exactly how content is being curated. It would build trust between users and platforms, as people could see that their preferences are being respected and actively used to shape their experiences.

4. Eliminating Filter Bubbles: While customization could deepen interests, it could also run the risk of creating echo chambers or “filter bubbles.” However, the opportunity here is to let users decide what content they are interested in, while offering more granular control to avoid getting trapped in a single narrative. Features like “topic breaks” or suggesting opposing viewpoints based on preferences might help mitigate this.

5. Data Privacy & Autonomy: Giving users more control over their feed would align with the increasing demand for privacy and autonomy online. If the user is the one directly influencing the algorithm, it reduces the need for platforms to rely on opaque data mining techniques and gives people greater control over their online experience.

6. The Ethical Angle: Currently, platforms are incentivized to prioritize engagement over user well-being, often leading to sensational content that can stoke division and outrage. A system where users explicitly request the content they want would mitigate this incentive and allow social media platforms to offer a more thoughtful, user-driven experience.

7. Implementation Challenges: This level of personalization would require more sophisticated algorithms capable of processing and understanding very detailed user preferences. It would also challenge platforms to reconsider their business models and engagement metrics since they would no longer be able to rely on promoting whatever maximizes attention.

In conclusion, this is the vision of an ideal, user-centered platform that empowers people to curate their experiences and regain control over the overwhelming flood of content. It would be a massive departure from current trends, but one that could radically change how we experience the internet, making it a more personalized, enjoyable, and meaningful space.

Was back on CNBC last week and I remain gobsmacked at the 180-degree turn in sentiment towards China. Honestly, it wasn’t even a year ago and a clip of mine like this would have a comment section filled with nothing but “how much does the Party pay you?”

I’m beginning to think that years upon years of trotting out the same cast of characters, all of whom promised that China was on the precipice of collapse, no longer carries any credibility.

I mean, there does need to come a time when accountability finally takes hold, yes?
