Pessimists become engineers.

Good pod. Inspired me to buy a couple of books.

If someone asks Jeff Booth radicalized me

I’d like to see a trend of more political candidates like RFK that don’t fit cleanly into modern cookie cutter political parties.

The only 3 truly censorship resistant technologies at scale I’m aware of are: bitcoin, nostr, and simplex.

An interesting way to think of AI:

It's just an insanely good compression algorithm. However, rather than being able to extract all of the images and text it is trained on word for word like we normally do with compressed files, it stores a highly generalized relationship between one set of words and another, and one set of pixels and another. So you can't pull an exact image like you can from a zip file, but you can pull the *idea* of a cat, the *style* of Wes Anderson, and the common patterns of a landscape. It's a compression of ideas and context as a collective, rather than the compression of the exact group of individual images that can be later recalled.
